I'll love to see one piece properly animated here in LA:
I remember some months ago a Saturday night I was just zapping with my channels when suddenly…. ONE PIECE! arabasta Arc!!
And then it was AWFUL; JUST AWFUL PIECE OF CRAP. Terrible acting, terrible dub, terrible CUTS and edits. CHopper's voice... they RUINED IT
So then at work while we geeks (I work in an IT company so :P) were discussing anime and I proposed my co-workers they should try One Piece, they looked at me like I've grown a 3rd head, because they had SEEN in the local tv here in Mexico the terrible dubbed version.
I had to swear to them the actual anime its nothing like that, and I even probided them with some good mp4 :P THen I turned two of them to the dark side :P . One still left to go, a guy who likes anime but doesn't dare to watch One Piece because the horrible sample he had.
I wonder how much DAMAGE they've done by now, my young brother in law says one piece is sh*t and Naruto is best (yeah the poor poor kid) just because he also tasted the crap version, and when he comes home to visit he doens't want to watch the subbed version that is the one we have, (lazy 13 yeard old...)
I hope they re-edit the thing based on the funimation version,
one can dream :P
Nervertheless... I don't care much about dubbed versions, I always like watching Anime in the original language, nothing beats the quality of the work of the japanes voice actors, they are really commited to their job and characters, drama feels actually like drama, even stupidity works better :P
But we can't allow a crap dub like the current one in LA ruin One Piece reputation, specially with younger audiense that don't know better :P
