Season 4, Part 1 is 37 on Amazon's manga and Anime top 100.
You must not watch a lot of dubbed anime, because One Piece is one of the few 1% that actually get dubbed themes. So it's not jarring at all for me, even given we had dubbed themes in One Piece up until now.
You know what's funny about all this? Let's see one piece has an amazing dub (your milleage may vary) check.Uncut ,check. And dubbed songs for op and ed,
It has the full package, and yet it just can't rack up another TV deal. Its would make a perfect show for a lineup.Realizing and knowing all this just makes me sore just thinking about it. I hate to bring this up again but man 4kids really fuc#ed one piece over bad.
Now having said all that:
This is literally untouched territory, until now. I am very glad this property is in good hands now,and we can finally put this 4kids fiasco away for good. I can't wait to get my hands on this :D

Couple reasons I can think of off the top of the head
1. It's probably expensive. For a program like adult swim this is out of reach at the moment, I mean it's obvious that they acquired really cheap shows for
2. Card games! Thats all I see being acquired by networks like the hub and nicktoons as far as anime goes. Let's disregard dbz which was a guaranteed hit.
I think our best bet ATM would be nicktoons or the hub and that's unlikely.
Edit:season 4 is #18 on amazon best sellers In anime.
Here's a question, why hasn't Funimation put One Piece on the Funimation channel?
They have. I don't know how long it lasted but they have.

I meant it's jarring seeing One Piece like this, because I'm so used to One Piece having dubbed themes. It isn't jarring in other anime, because I'm used to it.
Has anyone put up a video of Opening 5 dubbed?

It didn't get a dub. They had licensing issues.
My heart is broken. :(
I'm sure they may get it, how long did Map of the Heart last?, it'll probably be on the next set, maybe.
@Jet:

Map of the Heart lasted the entire season (207-263), and no, you won't be seeing it dubbed on the next set. The disclaimer notes 207-230 having no English audio option for the OP/ED, so chances are for 231+ on S4: Third Voyage you'll hear it dubbed. This is all speculation based on the wording of the disclaimer though.
THanks for the info Maron.
With FUNimation's DVD Encryption, does anyone know how to rip whole episodes in sequence? I want to back this set up…
NVM, I think I figured it out.
how long before we can expect a trailer for voyage 2?
The dvd isn't officially out. I won't suspect a trailer until like September. Since Season 4, part 2 isn't coming out until like the end of October/Early November.

October 30th according to rightstuf.

Well still it falls on the end of October/Early November pretty much.

People should be getting it at the beginning-middle of October.

… and with that I have just pre-ordered it. I am still wondering if the reason these box sets are so much cheaper than the others at only ($23.99) is because of the whole imperfection with it having ending 15 instead of ending 14 and them not being dubbed. After all S3P5 was still $37.49 and that had only 10 episodes to it. But then again that is just my theory.
They probably just made it cheaper to be more competitively-priced.
Well, it looks like I'll be buying a shitton of One Piece in September and October.
My set has been delivered but unfortunately I won't be home for another week… I've been keeping myself busy by watching the subbed episodes of the Davy Back Fight on hulu. But it just makes me want the dub even more.
Okay I'm done complaining.
Onto our next topic.
I thought it was a little too early to being hearing "Eternal Pose". Although I didn't realize it until I finished the set. Does anyone know the reason for skipping ED 14? It was licencing rights, wasn't it?
Licensing issues, yup. That's all we're ever gonna know. And I suppose that's really all we ever need ​to know.
Funi's official unboxing + otakon gifts. I want to purchase the smoker thing and the foxy poster. Any way to do that besides attending otakon?
They sometimes put stuff they give away at cons out for sale from Rightstuf. I think we'll be seeing them soon.

Now THAT is cool. I wish I could go to Otakon, but the money is funny.

I see. Thanks for clarifying. It's not that jarring to me, but I can see your point.
finished the set last night and it was awesome! A lot of fun and some very humerous moments. I enjoyed the filler a lot more this time around and 2bh thats a good thing because we have more coming in the next voyage. I think foxys voice was defenitely a win even with the strange german sounding accent he was pretty hilarious and the laugh was cool too. All i have to do now is watch the two commentaries before putting it on my shelf for a while and returning to it later.
While I'm highly saddened opening 5 wasn't dubbed, I do like how they edited their gold logo into it. It was actually very well done.
Now onward to what I've been waiting ages for~
Edit: Did they have licensing problems with the ending too? Because it almost gives me the impression they're done with dubbing the music :/

A licensing issue so big they're unable to include it in any way shape or form, yes. And 207-230 are the ones in the disclaimer mentioned without dubbed songs, so there's a chance 231+ will be dubbed.
I love how the same things keep getting said in this thread.
And by love, I mean hate
So one thing I just remembered… If I recall it correctly, you guys who actually have the set said that the creditless version of Kokoro no Chizu is indeed unaltered... I'm just wondering, is that also in widescreen? I mean, I see no reason why it wouldn't be, but you never know what kind of arbitrary restrictions Toei might have given FUNi... I mean, I could just wait until I get the set myself, but seeing how I ordered it along with the last three 26-episode sets to get my collection back up to speed, and the last of said sets isn't coming out before the end of next month...
@Vegard:
I'm just wondering, is that also in widescreen?
Yes, both the textless Kokoro No Chizu and Eternal Pose are in 16:9 widescreen.
By the way, is it just me who noticed a massive drop in video quality for Bon Voyage and Dreamship on both episode 206 and the textless versions? The rest of the episode seemed fine though.
! Here's a comparison between S3V2 (Top) and S4V1 (Bottom).

Yeah man. I noticed that too, but at first I thought it was just me. Maybe the reason for the quality has to do with the change from full to widescreen?
I've searched the past 20 pages and couldn't find a concrete answer…Are eps 207+ in 16:9 aspect ratio? I got my set a couple days ago from rightstuf and the box says 4:3, which if that's the case I'll probably just return the set and wait 5+ years for an eventual bluray release which might include ending 14 also. It's been about 8 years since I originally downloaded the RAW tv rips of these episodes so I can definitely wait patiently for these to be right.

Yes, they are in 16:9 aspect ratio. The box says 4:3 because (primarily) of episode 206 being on there. The other episodes are in 16:9 and upscale quite nicely, from what folks are saying.
EDIT: They're no different from any DVD movie that's in widescreen.
I know this is my first post here, and maybe this isn't the right place to post it, but would anyone be interested in buying some of the voyage sets from me? I have most of season 1, 2, and the first part of 3. I need the money for college and eventually plan on getting the season sets anyhow. Does anyone think I would have any luck selling on ebay?
Again, sorry if this isn't the appropriate section for this to be posted.

And I just opened the packaging, thanks for the clarification.
EDIT: I was mainly concerned because the first Japanese DVD in this set (206-208) had it in 4:3 and I don't think it changed to 16:9 until after the post Davy Back Fight fillers (230ish).

Yeah, 207-228 were released cropped in Japan. I'm guessing you never saw the Season 4: First Voyage trailer, though? That was in widescreen.
Well, this just happened:
19:35:33 <bay|ota|funisp>Q: What about the other one piece movies?
19:35:33 <bay|ota|funisp>A: I know those are unlicensed, but we love one piece, and we've got S4 at the booth, we also got some cool toys
19:35:33 <bay|ota|funisp>stay tuned for more details
19:35:34 <bay|ota|funisp>Make a trip to the industry panel tomorrow and i don't think you'l be disappointed</bay|ota|funisp></bay|ota|funisp></bay|ota|funisp></bay|ota|funisp>
Mixed signals…interesting.
Weird. Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Maybe they'll say they're working on something…? Wait- no, they don't announce things until they're bought most of the time. Maybe they'll announce they're working on season five licensing? Who knows. I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.

Well, tomorrow is the widely accepted 15th anniversary of One Piece. Hopefully they have an announcement to commemorate the occasion.
oh, gosh. I hadn't realized. Be a gentleman, don't get me excited over nothing.
@Gentleman:

I'm pretty sure they're just talking about the toys.
I'm pretty sure they're just talking about the toys.
I'm pretty sure the 'toys' they're referring to in the first part are the freebies they're giving away at Otakon with purchase of One Piece DVDs; the CD boxes, the cellphone straps and Gashopan figures. It's the last part that intrigues me:
19:35:34 <bay|ota|funisp>Make a trip to the industry panel tomorrow and i don't think you'l be disappointed</bay|ota|funisp>
That leads me to believe they have something One Piece, Toei or long form shonen related to talk about.
Anyone here gonna be at the FUNi panel tomorrow?
Toys? Tv deal?…. Seriously I can't think of anything.
