Oh man, I've definitely gotta tune in to that episode of OPP. I've been slipping lately in terms of catching eps anyways.
Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)
-
-
Pretty fantastic to hear that Sonny cried for the first time in the booth for that scene.
Also, FMAB Collection 2 is now titled as 'Reserved for your Order', meaning it'll ship out soon. The release date is July 17th. This is the 21st. Almost a month early, I'll probably get it three weeks early. If this holds for One Piece S4 as well, we'll get it around July 17th. That's only three or four weeks from now. Not far at all. Hopefully the gift doesn't slow it down.

16 characters in length.

reads comments Who are these 4Kids fans and where did they come from?
sighs I just can't believe there's nostalgia for that dub.
-
Funimation has been doing the dub for almost 4 years now and there are still stupid people who are just now realizing this.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
-
Actually, almost five years. It premiered on Toonami in September 2007.
I can't believe it's pretty much been half a decade.
-
Well when you've been a Naru-tard for 5 years (which sadly 85% of the YouTube anime community is) you don't pay attention to better dubs.
Like I've said before, I disregard ANYTHING on YouTube about anime videos. I don't think anything worth remembering has come from an anime YouTube video comment.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also I'm hoping FUNimation puts the Season 4: Voyage One episodes on their website for their subscribers. I've been meaning to take the free trial, and I want to be able to watch some new _One Piece_ episodes with it too.
-
I was hoping for that too, but they seem to be constantly advertising it as 'on the same day as dvd'. So I doubt we'll get the episodes online before we get them from rightstuf.
-
Finally got around to watching that Season 4 trailer…. and holy fucking shit was that awesome. I'm psyched for it.
I've gotta say the music was definitely a really nice touch too... it really made it feel that much more exciting.
-
is there a way for me to watch it if I don't live in theUS or Canada

Colors are awfully saturated on this mirror though.
-
Not every anime fan uses legal streaming (although you can still watch dubs through fansub sites) or buys/follows DVDs. I don't necessarily blame them for not knowing about the FUNimation dub. I've heard of fans that still think 4Kids is dubbing it, now that's stupid.
-
Another awesome 101 video. Ridiculously excited for the continuation of this dub.
-

THANK YOU!
The colors looked fine to me :p, man the trailer gave me a hue smile it looks aweisome looking forward to it -
Purchasing priority shipping shouldn't affect early shipping, should it?
-
If you guys can't see the appeal of a hilariously bad dub then you obviously are way too jaded. 4kids did a terrible job bringing One Piece to the English speaking languages, but like Samurai Pizza Cats, its so bad its hilarious.
You can't tell me that the Vanilla Rice line is so bad its funny.

Samurai pizza cats was a completely different situation and the dub is more fondly remembered.
4piece is so terrible its sad. And look at the outcome its had on he series,to this day its still trying to get the stink off.
-
It's also because the 4kids dub was everyone's first impression of the series, so to most of the west, 4Piece is One Piece- and if you say it's actually a great show that's better than Naruto, DBZ, and Bleach in every way, you're usually laughed out of the room. That's why some of us are a little jaded about this whole thing.
-
It's hilarious to anyone that was already a fan of One Piece but for anyone who saw One Piece for the first time through 4Kids it just looks terrible. This was my situation: People I know liked One Piece while I had never seen it so I watched the 4kids dub and I thought they were insane for liking such a horrible anime. Hell, when I finally got into it I made One Piece my desktop background and my little cousin (8 years old) came over, saw it, asked if I liked One Piece and then said he thought it was a stupid show.
-
Any time I recommend One Piece to someone I make sure to alert them there are two dubs, and to watch the FUNimation one. I basically tell them "If you hear swearing to the level of 'damn' or 'hell' you're watching the right dub".
I believe Luffy says 'hell' a few times in the first episode. -
Everyone has their own preferences, guys. Yeah, it might seem odd for some people to prefer some of the voices from the 4Kids dub… But whatever. That's on them. You shouldn't judge people.
Anyways, most of the people I meet don't like One Piece because it looks "lame" (and this is from watching my DVDs) and they just want straight action like DBZ or Naruto. So, even without the 4Kids dub, One Piece is a harder sell to casual people than DBZ and Naruto are.
-
Well there's that and the fact that it's almost 600 episodes in length and has no plans of stopping for the next decade. Not saying that's a bad thing but it does take dedication.

For those in the UK, MangaUK is asking (UK FANS ONLY) if you want One Piece there, so if you are in the UK tweet it to them!
-
have done and i would love to see it in the UK in collection form.
-
i think it would be worth making a thread for this just so people are more likely to see it. I'll do it
-
Collections 1 - 5 are on sale again on Amazon This time its 18.49 for each set.
-
Only six weeks from today…
-
hope season 4 ships from rightstuf early July
-
Don't hold your breath. More like mid-July…
-
The P&S set I ordered with one of my OP sets just shipped. The street date for that was July 10, so it shipped about 2 weeks early. So it's a fair bet the OP sets will ship sometime during the week of July 23-28.
There's one thing I just learned about RS: if you have the Got Anime membership, be careful about orders you make just before it expires. It turns out that because my membership expired before the P&S set shipped, their system automatically removed the GA discount originally applied to the order and charged the set for $39 instead of the $35 it was supposed to be. As far as I know, that's not supposed to happen, especially since in another order, one that partially shipped before GA expired, all the items left still have the discount applied. They're refunding me that discount too, so it's not a problem, but it just goes to show no company is above bugs in the system.
-
Ah, but FMA Brotherhood Collection 2 has a street date of July 17 and started shipping for people about a week ago, so who knows, could be a bit earlier than late July.
-
soo…. anyone expecting anything one piece related to be announced this week at anime-expo?????
ill put my money on fairy tail for a 2nd season...
wat do you guys think??? -
Yes, I think Fairy Tail Parts 5-8 are in the bag…I think there'll be nothing to say about One Piece other than FUNi showing the trailer again and reminding people it releases soon. But with Toei Animation actually attending this year (which they haven't done since 2007, when FUNi got OP) maybe there's something bigger? Or maybe not.

i hope fairy tail is announced. When it comes back to one piece a possible announcement could be the movies. Would be amazing if they licensed enies lobby too but dont think that will happen until the first few s4 sets are out there.
Question: Is it a written rule that they arent allowed to purchase new episodes before all of the dvd sets are released? Been wondering this for a while.
-
I've assumed it was more a matter of practicality.
-
FUNimation usually announces one season of a show at a time. That's why I didn't think it was a big deal that it took so long for season 4 to be announced after they released 3 seasons in a row.
-
Collection 8 is now up for preorder on Amazon now.
-
Yeah, don't expect a One Piece announcement here, but I would expect a new Toei show….
-
@LUFFY#1:

Maybe if we're lucky they'll announce they're dubbing "Toriko", there's a Latin American Spanish dub in the works.
-

Well, I actually am pretty sure what Toei show FUNimation will announce hopefully, but maybe they will announce a Toriko dub while they are there…
-

FUNi said not too long ago at a con that the wait for the Toriko dub will be a while so I doubt it.
-
I would just like to say that just because Toei Animation has booth presence at this year's Anime Expo doesn't necessarily mean they'll have some new stuff to reveal there. I think it could go either way.

Yep, we will see…

Awww. Your breaking my heart firecrouch:what:
And here I'm hoping for a toriko dub. (I could just picture Travis willingham voicing him in my head right now)

No no don't get me wrong. They'll obviously have stuff to show off there, but I don't think it necessarily means that they'll have anything big to reveal. But they might, we'll find out soon enough.
-
At the very least, their presence at least shows that they're warming up a bit to the fans of their properties here in the US, and that's a good thing regardless of what they do or do not announce.
-
The Nami video's up.
-
I wanna see the video…someone rip it from youtube and give us a link for us who live in Narnia to watch it please. :D
-
The "Luffy… Help Me..." scene still makes me cry to this day.
