^Well that's nice to know.
Also: Just got Collection 5 in the mail today, which means I can finish watching Collection 4! I'd hate to just leave off on the Spider's Cafe episode…that would just be too much anticipation!

Feels so odd seeing new users talk about the voyages like this. I can't wait till we can discuss the dub and show again when season 4 start's and people get the dvd' early!
The lucky person who gets Season 4: First Voyage before the rest of us will feel like Jesus Christ himself with that kind of power.
Or Collection 9…cuz seriously, that's what I hope they do...
@Zek:

Nah, they'll probably stick with the Voyage sets first and the Collections will follow. They need to make money off of this and they know people will pay 45 bucks for 13 episodes if it contains material that they haven't gotten to yet.
That might work for some, but won't work on me!
What a poor business strategy! FUNimation clearly just wants to make money and not make the fans happy.
Season 4 will most likely be 5 Voyages.
This means even if FUNi were dumb enough to release Collections for it at the same time thye'd have to wait until Season 5 is licensed to release all of Season 4 (since each Collection is two Voyages put together).
Honestly, I'd be pissed if they switched to Collections only (not that they would). I'd end up blowing through the episodes in couple days and have half the season already finished…

Buisness and profit will always come first,but I'm sure you knew that. besides,why blow through all the new episodes in two collection releases (i think they acquired 50 or so episodes) only to put us back on the hiatus waiting list again.
Well be back to whining about a new season.
( edit:^^^^wow i was late on this response)

^ I was being partly facetious.
Also: I'm already whining about wanting the next-next season. I shall continue to whine until they are caught up, then I'll find something else to whine about…perhaps the weather.
If you really want them to get the next seasons as soon as possible then you should get the Voyages instead of waiting over a year for Season 4 Collections. The more Season 4 sells at release the higher the chances are of a smaller gap for Season 5 or maybe even no gap at all.
^Exactly what i was getting at,i really do hate people that do this. I know we are in a struggling economy but sheesh

Season 4 will probably be 5 Voyages, like Maron stated, and once they are finished releasing, we'll probably have another 5 month period (or less depending on how these Voyages sell) of negotiations. Collection 9 and 10 will have the first 4 Voyages of Season 4. And since FUNimation isn't big on the consistency of the Collections, Collection 11 will probably not be released until after Season 5 has been released, with the last Voyage of Season 4 put together with the first Voyage of Season 5.
Again, the Collections were made for bargain, and since they don't take priority over the Voyage release they are not the de facto product and therefore will not receive any special treatment other than what they already offer.

Well I'm sorry you hate me Mr. Tapatalk, I'm actually quite upset by that.
Had I started with the Voyages, then yeah, this would be no problem. But since I have the first 5 collections already sitting on my shelf, voyages would be out of place. PLus: Yeah, the price on those will add up in a way that I don't like. So ya'll can buy the voyages, and I'll impatiently wait for collections, sound like a good plan?

Again, I was joking.
I come from the Transformers fandom, that exact thing I said is thrown around as a joke a lot, so perhaps I should have provided context, I'm sorry.

I just think it's kinda silly for people to whine about us not having the next seasons when the Voyages help out a lot more than the Collections do and they refuse to buy them (not talking about you specifically). Obviously it's better than getting nothing though.
Right, absolutely. The show needs support, and the Voyages make that happen.
As long as your voting with your wallet its fine.but would be awesome if you could support the voyage releases when they make their debut as well,more specifically the season four ones: is all i was trying to say
Edit: IMHO the voyages speak better to them on how much the fans care/appreciate their work, than any bundled release ever could. But hey who cares,your buying them either way.

people assume way too much in this thread. I think its highly likely the voyages will continue , and i have no problem with that. However I suppose they could release the episodes in collection form and boost the price perhaps.

And make the price price 99.99$? Because that's what the MSRP would have to be for FUNi to make as much profit as they would doing the voyages. I am sure all of us would like 26 episode collections for season 4, but it's just not profitable for FUNimation and it is not affordable(for most).
@LUFFY#1:

Then no one's gonna buy it.
…That was LUFFY#1 fan's point.
Oh…
Well if that's the case then, I'm with LUFFY#1 fan.
That would be rather bone-headed of FUNi if that happened.
I have a question that may or may not fit into here. I don't wanna start a new thread for it anyway.
In Little Garden/ Alabasta, does Sanji say "Welcome to the Crab Cafe" or "Welcome to the Crap Cafe?" I'm having a hard time hearing the end of the word…
....I could check the subtitles but...this seems easier somehow.
He's saying "Crap".
Alright, thanks Doctor Bad.
Update: And now I've watched my way through Alabasta…again...
It's a shame that half of Collection 6 is filler...oh well.
I forget when the new DVD's are supposed to come out. I've looked through this thread and through all the arguments and still not much, anyone got an idea?

You mean season 4 or the new collections?
Collection 6 is set for mid-June. Season 4 is still TBA/TBD.
They said Summer for Season 4, which I guess could be as late as September. Frankly, I'm not sure why they didn't make it so all of the collections were out by Season 4, unless 6 and 7 have more episodes than usual and Season 4 is released in September.
firecrouch, you might as well take the FAQ down, since no one seems to be using it.

Probably not since repetitive questions seems to be what's keeping this thread alive.

If they don't bother to read the FAQ, I doubt they'd bother to read thread posts that say people are getting banned for not reading it…

I wad thinking more in line with a 3 week ban as a lesson,if that didn't straighten them up,then an IP ban will be in order for them.
But as another said,its what's keeping this thread active so no

I'm gonna keep looking at opinions about the repetitive questions if more opinions come up.

If that's aimed at me, my question isn't in the FAQ, it's not even that great of an FAQ regarding the current state of the series either.

Your question is in the FAQ, and the FAQ does cover all the known info of the current state of the dub. Look at the first post of this thread and read it.
You probably think by FAQ we're referring to the old FUNimation FAQ sticky thread. The FAQ included in the first post of this thread is much more recent and covers all known Season 4 info.
I think thats what this confusion of people not using the FAQ is stemming from.
Alright people I changed the F.A.Q. a bit with some info about when to expect new releases and what price points to expect. Let me know if I need to make any other changes. I'd like to know how many episodes have been released through the Collections so far.
Still 130. The Collection 6 set out June 12 will be S2V7 and S3V1.
Just ordered rest of the collections i needed.
As for people not reading the FAQ no need to ban if someone asks just link them and don't answer.

The last civil comment I'll leave on this topic, I was here when that FAQ was created. And there is nothing of Season 4 mention.

I guarantee there are at least four times as many posts complaining about the stupid questions than actual stupid questions.
Its a forum; it isn't life or a college forum or essay. People need to lighten up on these forums; take a chill pill. If a stupid question is asked, ignore it or delete it, don't flame the person. - nothing good comes of that.
Also, you've got to love how there are words such as trolling and flaming made up exclusively for the internet, because they're so common in forums.

So who else here loves the commentaries as much as I do? Especially if it's got Sonny in them. He's hilarious, even though his repetition of the "Take THAT American Voice Actor" story can get a little old.
Sabat's commentaries are great too. "Zoro's the best role because I don't have to say or do a whole lot but I still get to ride the boat."
I know this is unrealistic but I'd like to hear some commentary from the Japanese side.

Again, you're thinking of the wrong FAQ…
Step 1: Go to first post of this thread.
Step 2: Scroll down to bottom of first post in thread.
Step 3: Open "spoiler".
Jack, there's no need to get upset over something that's really not an issue at all. The first post of this thread DOES have a FAQ right at the bottom of it.
