I am still confused though, I think before we worry about how the dvd's will look, we should worry when they will even come.
Our best bet is to just hound FUN at NYAF about when the dub is starting back up. Or if Mike is there, we can just hound him!

Don't worry, I'll be there…and all I do is hound...

@LUFFY#1:
I was thinking season 4. I really doubt that "new dub material for them" will be treated as something they did in 2007.
@LUFFY#1:
You also have to consider the fact, we have no news on if the dub for season 4 has even started yet. Right now, presumably they haven't started yet, so are we even sure they can dub and subtitle these episodes fast enough, but also at good quality in time for February?
G8 was dubbed during the original run in 2007. They stopped dubbing at 206 to go back and do Seasons 1 and 2.
Plus, Season 3 stopped airing about halfway through.
WE have seen all of it because some kind souls in Australia uploaded a recording from THEIR broadcast, but They have their Madman release.
As far as America is concerned (AKA: Where FUNi is releasing it), Episode 175 begins the "New Dub Material"So they have until February's worth of material to release.
I also think they should move around the episodes so that it goes like this:
Season 3 4th Voyage: 183 - 194 - 12 Episodes
Season 3 5th Voyage: 195 - 206 - 12 EpisodesPerfect Symmetry and you get all the fullscreen episodes out of the way in Season 3.
Another reason I think we'll DEFINITELY be getting G8 in S3 is because that material is already dubbed and that was their selected end point. I think if they're gonna do a slow down on the releases, it'll definitely have to happen AFTER Season 3. Get EVERYTHING they've already dubbed out of the way before releasing the truly "New" Material.
-
Sweet! Looks like S3V4 will be in my lap just in time for Christmas. haha Wait….I sure hope it doesn't come after Christmas due to the heavy shipping. Think I pay for 1 day shipping for this one.
This is interesting. I would like G8 to fall as part of Season 3 but then again there is that widescreen issue.

I don't think they did dub G8, as I recall the Australian dub ended at episode 195…

I was thinking about making a joke about you being in bed with FUNimation, but then thought better of accidentally insulting you.
That being said, since we all know you really are in bed with FUNimation…why not shoot can email to them and see if they'll actually reply to you?

I was about to call you a dick, but I decided not to as I thought that'd be a mean thing to say.

Trust me, I've asked FUNimation about Season 4 every chance I get. I haven't heard anything in or out of confidence, and I can say in complete honesty and openness that they haven't announced or pried under pressure thus far. As we said when Josh showed us the pass for NYAF: that's probably when they'll announce Season 4.

Remember My Interview with Mike?
"…We recorded so far ahead, we recorded through like, the early 200s"
They have most likely recorded AT LEAST G8.
-

True, but they only aired up to 195 on Australian television. It's only speculation to believe that anything beyond 195 was recorded in the original 2007 sessions because:
A) "Like, the early 200s" which is what he said during our February interview and when you interviewed him could easily refer to "195" as that number is somewhat proximately close to "200"
B) We only have concrete evidence up to 195, they may have recorded 195+ as part of a new recording session or during the 2007 sessions, but as I said earlier…it'd mostly be speculation at this point in time.Ergo, there's really no way to know at this point, but I believe Mike had said at one point that G8 "might be part of Season 4, though I'm not sure."
-
@Zach:
Ergo, there's really no way to know at this point, but I believe Mike had said at one point that G8 "might be part of Season 4, though I'm not sure."
Yeah, he said that. He said he wasn't sure but thought that's where G8 lied, but that they might shuffle it around some other way when the actual DVD is set to hit.
I just don't really think he'd actually say they broke the 200 mark unless they actually broke it. Saying "About 200" would be one thing, but saying "The Early 200s" basically directly states they broke the 200 mark. So you might be right that it's closeish to speculation, but it's leaning really far in the direction of G8 being done. Regardless of exactly when it was recorded, it most likely HAS been recorded as of now.
-
They may have recorded up to early 200s/G8 but they haven't released them to the public yet. Still hearing that then it sounds like they are planning to release G8 as part of Season 3. I guess they decided since they had some of the voice actors in for polishing up certain scenes in Skypeia that they decided to just do G8 since they were 'laying around'. Still that is just me guessing and stuff.
-
When is the next set of announcements for 2011? I think at least some of these questions may be touched upon. They keep saying we'll get answers towards the end of season three, and last I checked Eneru is about to stir up some hell in October.
-
As we all know, they're past franky and have been for a while.
-

I see my compliment hidden in a false (and mentioned as such) 'insult', coated with a joke, flew over your head? :(
-

If that's the case, when why did Seitz say he's only done anything for the video game so far in the interview Zach and co had with him two weeks or so ago?

Yes, this is a great puzzle indeed given how well sabat's sushi laden comments went over with funi last time.
-

I'd be able to tell if he was covering up something by the tone of his voice. And at least in my view, he was being legitimate.
-
chopperrules
the human lie detector
-
It's very much possible that they just got another Franky :\ As unfortunate as that would be.
-
There'd be no reason for FUNi not to continue dubbing as much as possible, especially since the sets are selling pretty well.
-
preordered season three 4th set __ EEE soo soo excited for October to come around DX!!!! I want more Skypeia xD
-

I highly doubt it, he was approved by the Japanese and FUNimation is still casting Patrick and still on good terms with him…why change?

Yeah, but One Piece still isn't one of their biggest DVD sellers (they're often in the upper middle of DVD sales lists, sometimes lower)…and why waste resources on a series that's way ahead (as it has been most of this year) and that stars ALL your veteran voice actors who could be working on bigger and more immediate projects (Hetalia, for example).
-
Well it has always been rumored that Funi has dubbed passed Water 7 and into CP9 but that rumor all seems to be "I have somebody at Funi that says…" so I kind of don't trust that.
If anything they could have started on Season 4 but have not reached Water 7. If I remember right (and almost totally forgot) after G8 and Davy Back we have two sets(?) of filler arcs. So that would explain why Seitz said he hasn't dub anything as Frank during that interview.
-
It's not so much a rumour as it is Chris Sabat saying they had gotten to Water 7 and then Funi denying it.
Which I don't blame them for, they may have to deny it. But it makes them pretty suspect when saying where they are.

When did Chris Sabat say that?
-
@Zach:
When did Chris Sabat say that?
At least a year ago.
-
Yeah, I remember that Sabat said that as well last year. And Funi said it was Bad sushi or something like that.
Edit: Found the post with the Sabat that we are close to Water 7.
-
Just picked up S3 2nd Voyage yesterday. Haven't watched it yet though.
Also I agree it safe to assume the Funi is further ahead than they say they are. Like with video games, companies can't reveal what they've done until they are officially allowed to. I'd say that Funi is at least at Water 7 if they want to keep the releases consistent. (although other than G8, I'm not sure how much filler is in between. I'm pretty sure there's at least some.)
-
I remember reading an article around the time FUNI picked up the series somewhere back in 2007, that they would dub episode 144-206, for broadcast. The site long since closed. It was only up for a year I believe.
Just because the Australian broadcast stopped at 195, doesn't mean they aired all the dubbed episodes. For all we know, they just decided that 195 was a good stopping point. -

I too believe they've most likely worked on episodes past 206 that they can't tell us about. I'm not entirely sure if they actually were working on episodes as far back as when Sabat made the original "Bad Sushi" comments, but I do know that they're nearing the completion of Season 3 on DVD, which means then they run out of episodes to release.
Plus, on the last few episode commentaries and during my Interview with Mike, he said he was re-watching the series to prepare himself for getting work started on the series again. In One Of the commentaries, he said he was in the 180s. And those were recorded a LONG time before we actually are seeing them.
All Logic dictates that production has to have started by now. If they keep the release schedule the same even into Season 4, then it will be about April or May when they have to have more episodes to release. That's 7-8 months.
Mike McFarland has said several times in Several places (including the commentaries, you can look this up) that the 206 episodes they've done so far took "Two Long years of Work". Do the math, and in the 8 months till then you get 69 episodes that they could get done if they started work RIGHT now. That is assuming that they haven't done any work at all yet as of right now.
That's enough material for 5 sets easy, and that buys them another 10 months to work on the next part.As long as the series has sold well enough for FUNi to be going after more, I think we can safely say the release schedule should stay pretty consistent.
-
According to Toonzaki, Episodes 391 - 466 (and likely 467) are all Season 10.
So will we get Season 10 sets? -
The Japanese seasons are different than the FUNimation seasons. I'm pretty sure Skypiea is around season 6.
-
Yeah, but that same list is using FUNi's seasons.
-

Its Season 5 and 6. Also Season 10 in Japanese would be 337-381 so I don't think that it is going with the Japanese seasons.

So will we get Season 10 sets?Are you really gonna believe 4kids? The company who got us into this mess?
-
@LUFFY#1:

Wow.
This is probably the most ignorant statement I've heard all week.
Let's all blame 4Kids for something it didn't do this time >_>
In other news, One Piece is on top over at Toonzaki.
-
I've come to expect it from these people already -_-.
-
The funny thing is that FUNIMATION lists it at Season 10.
But, I digress. It's all 4Kids' fault.
-
Yup. They ruined One Piece back in 05-06. Therefore EVERY SINGLE BAD NEWS THAT HAS HAPPENED IN 2010 is 4Kids fault.
I can just smell the logic.
! And it smells like SHIT.
-
Well, you'd know the smell of it pretty well considering how many bricks of it you dropped two or three years ago. And continue to do about uneducated statements.
So, DVDs…right? Yeah. I've pre-ordered Season Three Fourth Voyage. It'll be interesting if FUNimation only places twelve episodes on this set and then twelve on the Fifth set.
Send in those emails people! ;)

@Yuugi's:

I guess you think this is 4Kids' fault then? (Them listing the current episodes as season 10)
I know the whole season thing was kinda altered by 4Kids in a way (the tv airing after all) but to say not to the trust the 'season 10' marking on Toonzaki simply because it's 4Kids is… really really REALLY reaching into a hat for something to blame them with.
You know me, if someone is misinformed I let them know. Perhaps harshly, but all the same, they'll know. 4Kids aren't great, but that doesn't mean they should be blamed for something they didn't have any fault for... You know how anime fans get.

because three arcs in one season is totally cool. :getlost:

… What are you blabbering about? Since when are we discussing about how the 'seasons' should be ordered? We're only talking about whether or not 4Kids put that 'season 10' moniker themselves (even though it was FUNi or Toei).

and im saying that it was obviously not toei or funimation due to this not being accurate in Japanj and it not being on OnePieceOfficial. It has to be 4kids.
-
SIGH
http://www.hulu.com/search?query=one+piece&st=1
Read it and weep.
It's listed as so on HULU, as well. 4Kids has nothing to do with the season 10 marking, genius. It's more likely to be FUNi or Toei who told HULU that, so 4Kids just followed suit on Toonzaki, which just streams the same HULU episodes anyways.
-
It's listed that way on funimation.com too.
It has been since the Simulcast started.

Really, why do people fly off the mouth without doing the slightest bit of research? :getlost:

your right i should research things that are worthless and have no actual value like you do. I apologize.
-
I'm talking about in general.
And don't make claims acting you know something, when in reality you don't. If it had no actual value to you (and you're right, it really doesn't), you should have just looked the other way.
But instead you said something. Something you had no knowledge of.
