I bought both. It's good to have a lending set. Trying to support the show as much as possible.
Funimation DVD Discussion III (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

-
I kind of wish I had held onto the first season now. :( But I was unable to find a complete second season so ended up choosing the collections and selling the first season off. Now my 3rd season is just sitting at the end of my dvd shelf all by itself.
-
It started at volume 24, doing 5 a month for 6 months.
-
I already have all of the voyages (I've been collecting since the beginning) and I have been contemplating for a while on whether or not to buy the collections too. The primary purpose I would have for buying the collection would be to have a back up copy of the series, and it would also be nice to be able to loan out the series to friends who have some interest in One Piece but are intimidated about buying the sets. After reading what you guys have wrote, I think I'm leaning closer to finally getting the collections too.

Isn't it almost time for Season 5, Voyage 1 to come out? bouncing off walls

Isn't it almost time for Season 5, Voyage 1 to come out? bouncing off walls
Streets July 23. We usually see them 2-4 weeks early. I would guess the week of July 1, with a small chance of the end of the week of June 24
-
Why does it feel like there is such a long break this time? I guess we got the last voyage too early!
Still a whole month until the next one comes out. I rationed this set badly, so I only have two episodes to keep me.
-
^I rationed the whole season badly…I was clocking in about a voyage a day...
-
The wait this time isn't too bad for me since I'm rewatching the series with my brother :P
-
A funimation rep confirmed last week that they'll continue the collections big surprise lol anyway when do you guys think they'll start releasing them again early next year or after season 5

I would guess more likely after season 5. Currently they could only do 2 more Collections at most, so they'll need some time to build a backlog of voyages.
-
Definitely thinking they will wait for season 5 to finish also. Either way, they won't continue till 2014.
-
Okay, so I'm still rather behind on watching my DVDs and only just got started on Season 4 Voyage 1… And I know this got mentioned before once, but really... what the hell was up with episode 206? The actual episode itself looks crystal clear, far sharper than the 205 episodes that came before it (a result of them starting to encode the series in progressive scan as opposed to interlaced, no doubt), but the opening, ending and eyecatchers, or in other words, everything that had been used on previous DVDs and looked fine there, suddenly looks completely awful. I really have to wonder what happened there...
-
Good idea, we had some One Piece stuff from them last year. I'm kinda curious if Brook's English actor got approved by Oda too or if it was just between Mike (FUNi) and Toei. It easily could've been either way I think since the "original" Season 3 cast was meant to be so far apart from the 4Kids counterparts in terms of quality that Oda got involved in the approval process, but with 4Kids never making it to Brook's intro I wonder if they even bothered contacting him.
-
I already own all of the voyages but I picked up the first one piece collection released by Manga Uk and I have to say that the picture is so much clearer, no more fuzzy black lines which were really bugging me with the r1 sets. I'll still keep hold of my voyages but I think i'll start getting the collections because apart from the better picture I really like the covers, want to support the show in the UK , and lastly they look smart on my shelf . I have a strange connection to my belongings and I find it really difficult to sell things but hopefully the voyages will become collectable in years to come (probably still wouldn't be able to sell them lol)
-
Let's have some fun. What are your top 3 scenes/lines that you are most excited to hear dubbed? Let's say after Enies Lobby since we know we're getting that. For me, I'd say:
- Brook's entrance
- Doflamingo's epic Marineford speech
- Hancock giving Luffy the dilemma
-
kinda odd, even though it doesn't officially come out until almost the end of next month, that we haven't seen a larger image for Season 5.1 yet. Maybe they decided after all to go with a slightly different color scheme or something like they've done for the previous seasons and that's the reason for the "delay"
-
I went into London and bought the new One Piece collection dvd from Forbidden Planet. It was quite a reasonable price for what it is. Haven't had time to watch it yet, but it's giving me hope that the UK will start to slowly get more stuff in this department :) I just want a physical copy of Strong World so bad

Funimation's been going on about announcing something big once they get 1 million likes of Facebook.
It's most likely not something One Piece related, but we'll see.

If it's something "One Piece" related than they're making it too big of a deal to pull this kind of stunt.

I say regardless of what the announcement is, people will still be disappointed.
Honestly this is probably one of the worst things they could have come up with.
-
Hopefully the announcement is Sailor Moon… but I hope its the season 6+ Film z announcement
-
Eh, I agree with Firecrouch, even if it was Film Z & Season 6 Snowmint I'm sure they would just wait till a con or something to make the announcement like last year instead of holding off until they reach a certain number of likes and making people that don't care about OP feel like they wasted their time.
-
Yeah. It's either DBZ: Battle of Gods or some big change to the Funimation company in general.
-

At a recent convention they said it would be a license announcement so it's not a change to their company. I'm thinking it is either something DBZ (maybe Buu saga in Kai?) or maybe Hunter x Hunter. Although I wish it was something One Piece, they probably are holding off on announcing more episodes picked up until the summer.
-
or some big change to the Funimation company in general.
What,about anything of that,would get anyone excited? Expansion of their headquarters, acquisition of new titles?
Im legitimately asking.
-
Well sean schemmel voice of goku and Kyle hebert voice of gohan have already stated that their working in the buu saga for kai so that wouldn't be the most thrilling announcement as much as i love kai if it was something like one piece or case closed that would be special
-
I'm thinking it is either something DBZ (maybe Buu saga in Kai?)
We've already had Buu saga in Kai announced from the Japanese side and from actors in FUNi, including Kyle Hebert talking about starting recording for Gohan. I'm wondering if it is Battle of Gods, but that would have to mean FOX passed on it.

Yeah but it was never formally announced and Kyle Hebert deleted that tweet for some reason and I made post on FUNi's Facebook about the tweet and they deleted it. It would be pretty lame if that were it since we know that they will do it anyway. I hope its Hunter x Hunter(VIZ said that someone beat them to the rights on Facebook) or Beelzebub but I think it will be Buu Sga anyway its gotta be something big and important I guess.
-
It would make more since if it was battle of gods or evangelion 3.3 or one piece season 6

No it wouldn't. They said a "new show" so it can't be any of those.
-
I'm interested to see how they did Kumadori's voice…
-
Isnt he the one chopper fights
-
Isnt he the one chopper fights
Yes, he's the CP9 agent with the long hair and Kabuki makeup.
! He attacks Nami first then he fights Chopper.
-
Zac Bertschy from ANN (ANNCast) just tweeted that they are having their annual Funimation podcast this week. So I think this would be a good time to hopefully get some One Piece questions answered. Season 4 sales, season 5, SW etc…..
Just a reminder for you guys to send in your questions to Zac B. so he can ask them to the FUNI reps in this weeks ANNCast.

When's the next convention?

When's the next convention?
The two major conventions that I could see announcements would be Anime Expo or Otakon. Anime Expo is July 4-7, and I think Otakon is the first week in August. Otakon is where we heard of season 5 so that is the most likely time we'd hear about it, but funimation always has good announcements at anime Expo too.

I noticed that also. Very strange. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that there was rotoscoping on those parts, but of course not in the actual episode.

So, we should be getting information on new seasons soon than? Good, good.
-
Wait so some of us are already waiting for announcements?
-

I think it is highly unlikely that we will get any new information this year, regarding season 6 + or any other One Piece related material. I am guessing we will get some new information next year about it. (Though personally, I hope I am wrong and we do)
-
Wait so some of us are already waiting for announcements?
Sure why not? If that leak is to be believed,there should be plenty to look forward to. If not ,no big deal,it isn't like when we were waiting for season 4.

Yeah for sure, I just wouldn't be so eager for every convention or every little thing FUNimation teases at. We've already got plenty to look forward to and to anticipate every little thing FUNimation has in store (convention circuits and hints to online announcements) I think can get on the too-antsy side especially when you consider FUNimation has a bunch of other properties and initiatives to work with. That's just me though.

I feel exactly the same way. Plus we have season 5 to get through still anyways. There's no rush
-
Nice the box art for season 5 voyage 1 is way better than the first one we had for season 4
-
Not a big fan of some of the character choices, but it's a good cover nonetheless.
-
I think the boarder could be better and having Blueno and gear 2nd Luffy on the cover and the spine like Vol. 40 would've been welcomed, but the cover is still fine for me. Here's to hoping it will be here in 2 weeks.

For convenience.
