I also want Shigure's va to voice Brook as well. He perfect for Brook.
Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)

I think I'm going to cry….I'm seriously going to cry right now.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Season 5 is going to contain episodes 264–336, btw!!
-
John Burgmeier would make a pretty good Brook. I liked him in Kodocha as well. While Vic is awesome and has a great singing voice I doubt he would be suitable to play Brook.

why are we all excited? not to be the stick in the mud… but we've seen this episode and movie already.

Guys let's stop the guys who are translating the anime and the manga into English - it's foolish.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT AKIRA

Ahh yes I Absolutely love to watch low quality one piece episodes all while reading subtitles!
-

Well you are being a stick in the mud.
People are excited to actually own an English version of these episodes and the movie. Nothing complicated to understand. Same reason people were excited for Season 4, same reason people were excited of the original series acquisition from FUNi.
-
we have a turd in the punch bowl.
-

Me too! I mean, despite that fact I know only basic Japanese - we don't need Funimation!~
~
Anywho, this is really a pleasant surprise. At least, the fact that's so early that they acquired the licence. And with Strong World too!
-

We've seen them, but the masses haven't. They're the difference between this series being a mainstream success, or staying a small niche thing forever.
Plus, the English dub is my preferred format for this series, and I would like to see it continue.
-
So could the early announcement have anything to do with the new toei global CEO guy? I know another batch of episodes cost a lot.

If you like the dub, then it makes sense, but since were all part of the small niche on APF, I don't think it has to do with mainstream success. Don't get me wrong, I love One Piece, but as a sub-only watcher, the news didn't excite me.
Now…. if FUNimation said they were gonna release One Piece Film Z in December then I would be like...

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. That guy's a pretty cool dude if so.

That would be practically impossible. Give it around 6 months maybe (& I mean maybe a film festival release), but the same month as the japanese release is too wishful
-
Ibut as a sub-only watcher
Tell me again why you're in a Funimation Dub DVD thread when you only watch subs, asking about why people are so excited about this? It's like joining an atheist group as a religious person, vice-versa.\
I've already told this to another person here, but if the discussion isn't for you, then go somewhere else that fits you. Your personal preference is not ours - that's why it's called "personal".

You can also now, I dunno, buy the series and own it on DVD officially and maybe SUPPORT The brand? That's a very good reason. Considering that for Sub-only watchers, the DVD has an optional Japanese language track with accurate subtitles. (Before ANYONE Pops up and goes "Nuh uh, I've seen them make a Ton of mistakes", no. The mistakes you see on the simulcast are because they're doing it an hour after broadcast. The DVDs don't have typos like that.)
Pirating never helps anything, we want the anime industry to thrive. The anime bubble burst a while ago in America AND Japan and everyone is still kinda recovering. Don't think so? Let me ask, when was the last time you saw Geneon Entertainment release anything? Answer: A Really long time because there is no Geneon Entertainment anymore. The US branch was closed and the Japanese branch went out of business and was bought by Universal Studios Japan.
We need, NEED to support this industry in any way that we can, and being Able to purchase One Piece and own a physical copy in order to give some money back to the people who worked hard to make this series for us is definitely a good thing.
tl;dr: You are a stick in the Mud. There is a Jpn Audio subbed version on the DVDs for people who don't like the dub, so go out and buy it already.
In other news, HOLY CRAP FUNIMATION YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEESS!
-
I think I'm going to cry….I'm seriously going to cry right now.
Me too!!!!
Hey any idea when STRONG WORLD will hit theaters (assuming it does, which… it should that would be amazingz!!!ghdfjgdhj)?
DVD's/Blu-rays (holy crap we're getting SW Blu-rayzzzz 2) of movies from FUNi usually come out 2-4 months after a theatrical release.
-
just imagine if when we finally get up to the enies lobby dvd releases , funi goes and licenses thriller bark. Its not too far fetched now considering they are thinking a season ahead , maybe they will choose to do that from now on and i for one will not be complaining!
-

I could see Strong World getting a limited release in theaters, similar to how they did a limited release for Movie 8. If they did though, I hope one of the areas it's released in is close to where I live.

As excited as I am for dubbed Strong World, a theatrical release seems…..a little too out of reach.

Yeah, this could work.

is this true!?! i would love to go to the theater and watch it!!! dub or sub.. OP on the big screen just sounds hott!
-
I honestly must thank FUNimation for being able to survive in such tough times. Otherwise something as crazy and awesome as this could never have happened.
-
Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. I should have birthdays more often. Best gift ever. Thank god. This brings up so many questions.
2013 = new One Piece ALL YEAR.
12 episode sets. Six of them for season five. -

It's just speculation we're bouncing back and forth, nothing's been confirmed. Based on One Piece Movie 8 and FMA: The Sacred Star of Milos, among other FUNi titles that have gotten the limited theatrical release treatment, it only feels natural that Strong World would get the same treatment, especially as hyped as it is among the fanbase.
-
I…
I was not expecting this news today. Holy crap. This is fantastic.
-
Here is my prediction of how the remaining sets of Season 4 and Season 5 will be.
S4V2: Episodes 218 - 228
S4V3: Episodes 229 - 240
S4V4: Episodes 241 - 251
S4V5: Episodes 252 - 263S5V1: Episodes 264 - 276
S5V2: Episodes 277 - 288
SV53: Episodes 289 - 300
S5V4: Episodes 301 - 312
S5V5: Episodes 313 - 324
S5V6: Episodes 325 - 336 -
Season 5? Fantastic.
Strong World? Icing on this moist, delicious cake.

Well Season is what we've all been waiting for. My God ever since I fist saw the Enies Lobby arc I dreamed of a dub for it; 4Kids still held the reigns at the time. Then when FUNimation aquired it and I got into their dub, I dreamt of how they would dub the arc. And when "Unlimited Adventure" came out, we all got a taste of what it would sound like. And now in just one year's time we'll get it in it's entirety.
Also to be noted:
"Brand New World" will be getting an English dub (barring any unforseen licensing debacles), same with "Crazy Rainbow" AND "Jungle P". That's 3 new Openings in one Season!
Ending themes such as "Dear Friends", "Because Tomorrow Comes", and the FINAL Ending of One Piece, one of my personal favorites, "Adventure World".
-
I'm sure Colleen is looking forward to nuking her vocal chords with Luffy's final attack against Lucci…
-
So when do you guys think they'll get season 6?
…
...
...
Sorry, had to do it. In all seriousness, this is unbelievably awesome news. -
@Big:

Sorry, had to do it. In all seriousness, this is unbelievably awesome news.Well since Season 5 is pretty much in the hole with good sales, I'd say sooner rather than later.

Don't forget We Are! Straw Hat Version. I wonder if they'll have the voice actors sing that one.
Anyways, this news is amazing. I would have never expected them to license Season 5 this quickly.
Going off the schedule, we should be getting it two months after Voyage 5 ends, right?
-
Glad to see season 5 getting released, according to this it is starting to be released as early as next summer! (http://www.funimation.com/rojas/blog/funimation-entertainment-announces-multiple-otakon-acquisitions/4470621)

I can't stop fangirling my head off about this at work. This is a good day.

Probably, that would mean Season Five: Voyage One would be out June 2013. Not far-fetched at all.
-

Oh man, I feel sorry for Colleen, she'll have to do this scene as well:
-
Looking forward to this!
-
I really hope they put their best effort into dubbing Dear Friends.
Because of, you know, that scene.
-
Predictions:
Season 5, which will contain 72 episodes, will probably have 6 voyages, each with 12 episodes and Season 6 will probably have Thriller Bark, the Spa Island filler, and Saobody, which in total would be 69 episodes. -
I hope that they omit 279-283. We really do NOT need these recaps with the exact same scene thrown in at the beginning and end.
-
279-283
Are those the ones that have this for an opening?
If so, I wouldn't mind having them…too much, as I've been waiting to hear this dubbed forever.
-
I also hope Funi dubs the omakes! Those are awesome! ^^
-
Season 5 is 73 Episodes long. Its the 2nd longest season to Season 2 which was 90 episodes.
-
Can not wait the CP-9 and Enies lobby are my favorite arcs and so is thriller bark Excitement all around even with strong world on Blu-ray great news
-
I'm honestly kind of surprised they included the Ice Hunter arc with Season 5, I was betting it was going into Season 6.
Not that I'm complaining, it brings us a dubbed Jungle P faster, but it seems like an odd fit. I think Season 5 would've had a nicer end with the crew leaving Water 7, tacking on a filler arc at the end, with a new opening to boot, seems like an odd choice. But I'm one of those people who thought Season 2 Seventh Voyage should've been the first part of Season 3.
-
I cant wait to hear Brand New World dubbed. I'm gonna get goosebumps.
-
Season 5 announcement, already? Before Season 4 has even been officially starting to get released?
When I first saw this I thought it was a joke. But it's awesome news!
-
I like Water 7 more than Enies Lobbies. I always saw the latter as the fight portion of the former + Robin's past.
Man, this is what I've always been waiting for. Water 7 and Enies Lobbies dubbed. A dream come true. Ever since Funi acquired it, I couldn't wait. The best arc of the series with jawdropping voice acting and widescreen animation. Enies Lobbies will be great. I can't believe we're getting it two months after the cliffhanger (literally, a cliff is involved) of water 7. AHHHHHWudhbsdgbshygrehyb
SO:
Season five: 73 episodes
FIVE 12 episode sets.
ONE 13 episode set.Unless they try
FOUR 10 episode sets
THREE 11 episode setsDid those flashback episodes have reanimated pasts?
Chopperman episode is 336.
Historical Luffy episodes are 291-292, 303–- Update From New Post Merge ---
