Gosh the dub is sounding amazing!!! WHERE IS MY COPY FUNI!!!
Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)

-
One Piece 101: Villains is out and about.
-
Here it is, since it's only available in the US, I uploaded it.
-
I guess Buggy wasn't enough of a threat to include him. Odd that they didn't show why Kuro's attack is so dangerous, or why any of them were really dangerous to begin with. Oops.
Also, this is like the 7th 101 video, and there are still dipshits that ask "Do they still dub this? Me can't tell"

Buggy was a joke compared to the enemies after him. He barely managed to even scratch Luffy.
I find it weird that they put Smoker and Arlong out of order, but I guess it's not that big of a deal.

guys funimation just uploaded a youtube vid of an interview with jonathan brooks about his role as foxy. Please could someone upload it so people like myself who live outside the U.S can watch also? Thanks

Lmao. That was pretty cool. Liked the comments about Foxy's stick that always stays in his pants. XD

Actually that line was in the uncut DVDs. But it's odd because the edited version for "god" in the Funimation version was "king"… "Sky Lord" was what 4Kids used to Grand Adventure, so I have no idea why it was included in that scene. Then again, it could'a just been Eneru being dramatic.

@Gentleman:

Mind posting that so we can see how that look?
Also random question for all:
I know it's been a long wait for all,but do you plan to watch the new batch of episodes in one go,or just watch them gradually?I know for me it'll be at least 2 or 3 a day, since the wait for the next set is excruciatingly long. (Not like it makes to much a difference though lol)
-
When I get my dvds. I'm watching it in one go. Since I want to make sure the dvds work correctly and make sure there are no glitches to the discs. That is what I normally do whenever I buy my dvds.
-
The entire cast list for the Foxy Arc is posted. I can now begin to enjoy the discs.
-

Same for me (once I get it). It would suck to hold off seeing the DVDs, then find out it freezes/glitches, and you can no longer return it.
Besides, I keep myself very busy collecting many other anime DVDs/BDs (one 400 capacity wallet and four 336 capacity wallets and growing). So the wait won't be bad for me.
-
I want to hear Foxy's voice for more than just one sentence. Can't wait to get my hands on this! Agh, the agonizing wait…

Seriously?
Why would they have him say 'God' the entire time and just randomly switch to 'Sky Lord' in that one line like that? Feels like someone made a mistake or something. -

Since I don't get cable, I tend to just watch and cycle through all my dvds. I'm on S3V4 D1 right now, so it will be at least a few days before I get there…then it's onto the next series in the rotation.
-
Just got mine, here's the description:
When Luffy and his mates drop anchor at the bizarre island of Long Ring Long Land, they're challenged to a Davy Back Fight by the fast-talking Foxy Pirates! The Straw Hats are no strangers to squabbles, but the sacred code of pirates decrees that this contest could cost Luffy his crew! For each round you lose, your opponent gets to choose, and by the end of the treacherous donut race, Chopper is lost to the enemy! Zoro and Sanji battle groggy monsters to regain the reindeer, but Luffy's odd logic and Captain Foxy's treachery leads to the loss of Robin! With their backs against the wall, Luffy breaks out the baddest afro on the grand line in a desperate attempt to win back his friends. Will Chopper and Robin ever sail with the Straw Hats again!?
-
I want to hear Foxy's voice for more than just one sentence. Can't wait to get my hands on this! Agh, the agonizing wait…
Yeah, I can't wait to hear how they did his laugh.
-
I'll see about getting a little clip of the logo in Opening 5 and maybe a couple of clips of Foxy tonight. I'm not going to rush to his episode though, I'll get started on recording the scenes after I've already seen some episodes.
His laugh's in the 208 preview and he has several sentences there alone so for Foxy I may just rip that chapter.
What an idiot…
EDIT: There's a little drop shadow for the font used on the episode titles now.
EDIT2: Akainu's name is pronounced "A-kai-noo". I was expecting "A-kai-ee-noo" like how the OPP pronounce it.
-
And I may be wrong, but Pickles sounds an awful lot like Brad Jackson, voice of Oolong/King Cold in DB.
@Gentleman:
Pickles: Brad Jackson
Guess I wasn't wrong. XD
Anyway, since we won't be getting a proper English Mirai Koukai, I took a shot at adapting what I could thanks to Kaizoku Fansubs' translation (seriously, that was the only way I could even find one for this song. Weird.)
So watch this, read along with the lyrics below and imagine Vic Mignogna singing them:
**Mirai Koukai (Navigating the Future)
Across the ocean waves,
Toward the setting sun,
Feeling the gentle breeze flow by,
And letting it lead us along the way,I cannot seem to rest,
With all I’ve seen and done,
Every new challenge that we’ve faced,
Has helped us prepare for a brand new day,We hope and we fear, we triumph and fall,
And still we’ve barely begun,
But there’s still time for us to find out what we’re made of…Do you remember all of the dreams we’re chasing?
Felt the pain form the bonds embracing
All of us,
Together we are one!So let’s set out in search of our aspirations,
Brighter than the sun!
Then we can take our place,
Right where we belong!** -
Now we actually have credits in the openings.
And the episode titles are now in all caps….For some reason.
Couldn't directly record from my Mac so excuse the horrible quality but that's how the logo's handled. Not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be.
-
Is everything inconsistent with Funi now? What happened!? I can only imagine OCD fans imploding!
Funi sure make sweet dubs! However, everything else such as the new logo overlay, packaging design, credits with text and song dubbing (looking at Midiguydp)…. I'm sure the fans could attempt a much better job!

I thought that edit was fine. I'd only complain about the black area but whatever. All of these things people complain about (i.e logo overlays or non-dubbed songs) aren't going to make any impact on my eventual purchase.

Eh, the song thing is something we'd need more detail on before pointing fingers at FUNi since based on what we know it's more the fault of the licensors, although I agree that it does make FUNi look bad either way unfortunately. Packaging was lazy and I don't mind having the credits from the original Japanese airings translated and inserted into the openings from now on.
But I do find it very odd how all of a sudden we have all-caps episode titles. I mean, Episode 206 was written out the regular way and then all of a sudden everything's in caps? Not a huge deal I know, but with the first episode following the way every other release of the previous 205 episodes had the titles it just felt like a giant oversight to just suddenly ditch that for no real reason.
About to watch 207 now and the 208 preview's coming soon after.

Ok, seeing it in motion really makes it look better to me. It's not even on-screen for that long so you don't have time to stare at the…blackness.
All is forgiven Funi.

this week cant go quick enough. Want my set!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
why did they add in the black? Wouldnt it of been possible to do it without that so we could still see the other half of the ship like in the original?

I think it's because there was literally no way for them to remove the original logo from the footage, and they just put the Gold logo on top of the original in the shot. The black seems like it's literally covering up the original logo under the Gold logo.
Looking at it now though, I think something like a "wood" pattern behind the letters instead of straight-up black would've been pretty cool, and would've looked less obvious.

To be fair, the entire format of the show changes at these episodes. It goes from 4:3 to 16:9.
FUNi could have easily decided to make a few stylistic changes (Credits in the op, All Caps Titles, etc) and maybe decided "Well, the change in aspect ratio is already breaking the mold, so we might as well take advantage so we can change some of our policies too."
As long as the dub is good, I see it as a success. Am I a bit sad about the Opening/ending situation? Yeah, I wanted to hear Dubbed Kokoro no Chizu. But I know it's not FUNi's fault, licensor bullshit is annoying. That's why it's taken forever and a day for FUNi to do anything with the Hellsing license even tho they announced it at Anime Expo 2010. They were waiting for all the stupid Is to be dotted and Ts to be crossed so that the newly merged Geneon Universal could float them the materials. That kinda BS happens all the time, this is no different and while it sucks, it's far from FUNimation's fault.
-
Yeah, you're right. I mulled that over a bit after making my post and i see your point. Was kinda complaining for the sake of complaining I guess.
-
Yeah, the black in the logo is a little weird, but it's not bad. I like the way they handled it.
Maybe next time Toei can provide them with a clean logo-less version for the next opening. -
let's hope the sales don't drop coz of these changes..

Toei always managed to give FUNi clean versions of the map backgrounds used in OP 1, 2, & 3 just fine so there'll be nothing to cover up.
@MonkeyDDragon:

Doubt it. We had one guy here cancel his order but I seriously doubt a lot of people would be doing that.
-
Man I can't wait till we reach Franky. Oh man the excitement is too much to bear XD
-
Awesome! For some reason though, I sorta thought they were done recording everything already, but I guess it's still ongoing.
They probably work on just parts of an episode at a time. Like have Luffy go through all the episodes, then Nami, etc.
-

Either way they definitely should have several months worth of dubbing left. I'd estimate it finishing October-November at the earliest.
-
Well, my set has officially been in the "processing" stage for two whole days now. Gonna give them a call tomorrow and see what's up.
-
Does anyone here consider those accents they do during the Afro Luffy scenes even a tiny bit racist? XD
I'm laughing very hard, I love it… but I don't know if I should feel bad about myself for that lol.
-
Watched the first disk. Was so pissed when I first got home because the mailman stuffed the Rightstuff box in a weird area and I didn't see it. I thought someone stole it, but luckily everything's cool.
LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I think I liked it even more than I thought I would, which is odd. Honestly, while Davy Back Fight isn't my favorite of arcs, I forgot how fun it really is and how fun Foxy is as a villain. As disappointed as I am with the absence of English songs and ending 14, I enjoyed the dub enough to not be bothered by it. The new voices sound amazing and a German accent somehow fits Foxy perfectly. Love hearing their laughs as well. I noticed that big ball Fish-Man had a weird laugh too, so that was nice to hear as well.
This would easily be a 10/10 if not for the few lazy edits and the issues we already know about. I'll still give it an 8/10 for beautiful video, crisp sound, excellent voice acting, and amazing Japanese-English transition. Seriously, all the jokes worked so well in English so far.
And the commentary was fun too. Too bad they didn't talk about the licensing issue, but it was awesome hearing Eric Vale, Chris Sabat, and Mike McFarland talk about how much they love One Piece, and the reveal that the new script writer knows Japanese and reads the manga. It just reassures me that One Piece is in great hands now.
And Chris Sabat made a nice little 4Kids bash as well.

@Galaxy:
Awesome interview. My favorite part was when he compared Foxy's nose to Shock G's from Digital Underground; it makes me wonder if Foxy has ever gotten busy in a Burger King bathroom…

I'm black myself so yeah, kinda. Won't let it bother me when I actually see the scenes though.
-
You could see it that way, or you could see them as being funky.
-
i see it as being funky myself and doubt anyones going to take great offense to it.
-
Wow. Foxy's voice is incredible!!
-
@The:
Wow. Foxy's voice is incredible!!
Now I know why they kept his voice and his actor under wraps, he's easily the selling point of the entire set.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
BTW, the textless opening on Disc 2 has the blue logo for those of you interested.
-
Just curious but did they keep the fehfehfehfeh? I always got a kick from that.
Also, after listening to the Catalan dub of ending 14, I realized that the instrumentals aren't the same as the original.
original:
Perhaps the Catalonians had to make their own instrumentals due to licensing issues?
-
Got 'em! And for those who thought I might've been joking about getting 11 sets…
