Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)

[Maron]

@ARC-1300:

i am aware of price lock thx. but i believe i had made it pretty clear i didn't have the funds to do it in the first place, and am waiting for funds to come in. telling someone "you should have ordered it sooner stupid!" is not only pushy,but pointless, as i already made my motives, and situation clear

Uh…Who called you stupid? People were just letting you know in case you didn't. I didn't even know about the price lock until recently. No one's pushing you to order faster, they were just letting you know so you can save a bit of money, that's all. Don't be so touchy…

Anyway this conversation is pointless. It really doesn't matter to me when you decide to order, I just thought Zek's wording was a bit much.

@gum:

how long was the trailer? Did you see foxy and if you did could you tell who was his VA? Also do you know when the trailer will become available to us?

I'm sure it was as long as all 16 other trailers were. I'm sure we'll see the trailer in a few weeks but I doubt WTK would know when everyone else can take a look at it, what with the cover not even being out yet. And the trailers we've been getting with the Straw Hats narrating typically don't have dialogue from other characters in the background like the Foxy Pirates so I doubt he heard their actual voices in that anyway. As he said, they're featured in the trailer but you don't actually hear their voices.

ah ok i should have payed more attention to the details.I dont really know what mania is tbh but how comes they got the trailer early?

[Maron]

Just a DVD forum as far as I know. WTK is the one that got to see the trailer early.

i know i just assumed that it was becuase he works for mania.So is there any way for us to see it or…......?

[Maron]

16chars of nope!

[LUFFY1fan]

@gum:

No, it's just out for press at the moment. I am sure a month or 2 before release it will be out for the public.

[Maron]

I'm thinking only a month, assuming no delays in the Season 4 release. FUNi typically releases the trailers a couple of months before release.

[DrStrongBad]

I think that we'll get one in mid-June or July.

[Maron]

July sounds super-late to me. I mean it's only a trailer, after all. And everything in it is done sans the boxart, which is likely only a couple of weeks away from being revealed as WTK said.

[Demon Rin]

I preordered at Right Stuf. I wants me some early OP.

[Shift]

@ARC-1300:

@shift

I heard someone hear say the later you pre order,the later you're getting it. If that is true than that is a big turn off.

If you wait until like a week before release day to place your order, then yes, you'll probably be processed after the many people in front of you have been taken care of. Assuming they have enough left in stock (and they should), they'll most likely get it sent to you right around the official release day.

In the next month or so, though, the window of you getting it relatively earlier than the street date is still pretty wide. And like Amazon, they only charge your account at the time the item is shipped, not before. And in the case you order a lot of stuff with different dates and availability and they need to split your order, they'll only charge for the specific items being shipped at that time.

Trust me, Right Stuf takes care of you, and is more often than not the go-to retailer for these things. Really, they ought to pay me for all the gushing I do for them.

Thx for the very detailed insight. Now i get why you guys order from them so much. Might just switch my anime purchases to them from now on in that case.

[Yonkou255]

I cant wait to see S4 dubbed!

Also…

I know its offtopic, but if anyone is interested in helping get One Piece back in Latin America, go to the Campaign thread. Even if you dont speak spanish, please help us Latin Americans out.

[Zephray]

[Zephray]

Amazon doesn't ship things early.

[Mr.0 Crocodile]

@Zephray:

oh i see.
but would i be able to expect it on my doorstep on the day it releases? or a couple days after?

206-217! Commentary on TWO episodes!

EDIT: Day of, Croc.

[Sano]

Well that is changed for normal for the commentaries.

[Zephray]

I seem to remember someone predicting the episode count for each boxset. Can't find that. Anyone know where it is?

Awesome, thanks Zephray! Surprised to not see commentary or 206 or even 207, but I'm glad we're getting more than just 1 this time. As for episode count, us getting the 12 episodes here makes me think we'll be getting three sets of 12 and two sets of 11. I figure the last two sets will be the other 12 episode ones, with the 11 episode set being S4 Second Voyage.

[Zephray]

If they pay attention to content, then, yes. The filler arcs end at eleven more episodes. Really disappointed about not seeing any Water 7 for so long though.

Guess this means both Afro-Luffy and Foxy will be on the S4V1 cover, huh?

[dan2026]

I know about the whole horrible mess that is the Blu-ray situation.

But has it been confirmed that the new dvds will at least be uncropped and in their proper aspect ratio?

[Sano]

Yes, The Season 4 episodes will be in Widescreen formet for Episodes 207 - 263, while 206 will be in fullscreen formet.

[LUFFY1fan]

So 11 episodes? Err..fine, at least we get 2 commentary's. Weird how the description doesn't even mention the story of the voyage but just a generic description of One Piece.

[Dumnerd]

It's 12 episodes, actually. As for the description, it'll probably be changed when they reveal the S4V1 cover.

[Sano]

@LUFFY#1:

No, its 12 episodes. You have to remeber to add from the previous episode (205 + 12 = 217).

[gum gum jet bazooka11]

12 episodes seems about right. Also the last episode is the start of luffys battle with foxy i beleive, so hopefully it is afro luffy v foxy on cover

[WTK]

Season 4, Voyage One trailer is now up @ FUNimation.com.

[Silver R. Bolt]

That was… okay.

[Sano]

Great trailer. Only a few more months to go.

[gum gum jet bazooka11]

finally! So awesome!!! Sounds great!!!!! I especially liked the "your wait is over" part

[MarcelloF]

Trailer was cool, but Luffy's voice was somehow more annoying than before to me.

[Gentleman Skeleton]

Wait a minute, wipes gunk from ears. Was that Richard Epcar as Foxy?

[Sano]

@Gentleman:

I think so. If it is him. God that would be awesome choice for Foxy.

[MarcelloF]

When do you guys hear Foxy?

[Gentleman Skeleton]

@MarcelloF:

When do you guys hear Foxy?

About 34 seconds in, the "We are the notorious Foxy Pirates" line.

[MarcelloF]

That was Foxy? Sounds a bit too deep for me. I thought it was some random crew member of his. I don't think Foxy was at the ship at that scene, so are you sure?

[MugiMikey]

I loved the trailer! The music is much better and so are the colors. The brown and yellow color scheme we've been getting before was kinda meh.

[Zek]

I watched it. I could not contain my excitement at all.

But I'm gonna have to keep it contained for a while yet.

[Sano]

The tan scheme was pretty nice in the trailer. I hope continue of changing the wood scheme for the dvd set cover continues into this season.

[ARC-1300]

@Gentleman:

About 34 seconds in, the "We are the notorious Foxy Pirates" line.

yeah no, that isnt foxy, at that point in the anime, hes already off of the ship and meeting with luffy to ask him for the davy back fight. the only time you hear him (in the trailer that is) is when hes doing the "OMG" face with his mouth open. as one persone noted,it was just some random crew member.

[Snowmint]

I can't wait for this season release. I don't know nothing about One Piece after Funimations 1st three season releases. Can't wait for this brand new material.

[LUFFY1fan]

Yep, I sorta skipped season 4- thriller bark(read about important things over the web) so I am looking forward to this also.

EDIT: Richard Epcar as Foxy? That will definitely add a few sales.

[gum gum jet bazooka11]

its not foxy. He was as ARC said already off the ship and heading over to challenge luffy at that time. Its defintiely a crew member , watch the sub and you will see.

[Gentleman Skeleton]

@gum:

Could just be how the trailer was cut. No one's lips move and I doubt they'd use the voice of a random mook.

[Zek]

^ I think they're saying that it's not Foxy who says the line in the subs, so it wouldn't be him in the dub.

[Gentleman Skeleton]

@Zek:

^ I think they're saying that it's not Foxy who says the line in the subs, so it wouldn't be him in the dub.

Ah, nonetheless that sounds a lot like Richard Epcar.

[MasterKingJC]

The trailer was pretty lackluster, but I'm still excited for Season 4.
I do agree that the blue and tan colors were a nice touch.
