Want your question answered in a future One Piece commentary? http://www.funimation.com/lee/blog/submit-your-questions-for-a-one-piece-commentary/7803293

Well 36 episodes does make sense for 3 sets and Episode 372 was the last episode for the Jungle P opening. And I wouldn't be surprised if FUNimation only licensed part of Season 6 since they did that with Fairy Tail Season 2 and only grabbed 24 episodes of that season. These are just speculations but I don't think its a typo. I'm sure they're gonna announce something One Piece related at Otakon but we'll have to see.
Watched 3 episodes on this set so far. I'm digging the CP9 voices. Of course Kumadori's voice is annoying just like it was in Japanese though. :getlost:

It seems that voyage 1 for season 5 is selling out quick on Amazon only three left in stock does that usually happen when a new voyage is released?
-
Season 5, Part 2 is 38 on Amazon Top 100 for anime and manga.
-

Yeah now it says it requires an extra 1-2 days for processing which is weird. Guess its selling out pretty quickly and its #6 on Top 100 for anime and manga. I'm glad I got mine in on time.
-
So has anyone else who preordered from Amazon.ca still waiting on their copy to ship? Mine doesn't even say 'Shipping Soon', still at 'Not yet shipped', and the product page itself says 'usually ships between 1 to 4 weeks'. Wondering if the Canadian website just didn't get theirs yet?
-
Honestly, we all know how many they really have, so the only stock I would put in that page saying 372 is just be on the lookout for an announcement soon.
And Rightstuf still hasn't shipped mine….I may very well be looking at monday before I see my set. Almost a week after release.
-
I would hope season 6 isn't just 3 sets, that is really lame since Thriller Bark doesn't even end there.
-
If season 6 ended at the end of Spa Island Arc, we would have 48 episodes and 4 sets like Season 1

Episode 273 commentary features Eric Vale and Brina Palenica.
More interesting is "On the Boat" with Sonny Strait. In the background behind them is a TV playing random episodes of Japanese footage of One Piece. Towards the end, Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star shows up, and then you can see a bit of the fight against Kaku. Considering Mike McFarland's ambition to prevent all spoilers, I'm surprised that footage snuck in in the background like that. But perhaps this means we WILL be getting CCRS?
Also, Sonny brings up Buggy, and they show a silent clip from a FUTURE filler episode, where everyone's in like an alternate world or something. Quite interesting.
-
Now watching the Patrick Seitz interview. More Rainbow Star in the background, plus some of the Jabra fight.

Oh sweet, sounds pretty good for that song then. I know people have issues with it but there's no reason to wish for a song to be cut out, especially when you have the option of just skipping it. Plus it'll be interesting to see FUNimation fit their full credits into it. Not to mention the glorious awkwardness of the inevitably lazy gold logo animation.
Also, I'm watching Season 5 now and one thing I noticed is that Brand New World isn't even licensed under Avex, but Pony Canyon (I recognize them as being the same studio that does the songs for Fairy Tail). I haven't the slightest idea if their policies are any different than Avex's (though in FT all OP/ED songs are undubbed, I figured that was likely due to the fact that there is a new OP and ED about every 12 episodes) but it did make me wonder if FUNi possibly had a chance at dubbing it, but opted out due to Adventure World being under Avex, undubbed, and wishing to avoid inconsistencies.
Of course that's all speculation under my part and some may argue that they could've simply put it as an extra feature if that were the case but who knows.

You know, it has occurred to me… From this point on, I don't think there is a single opening where this will not be an issue. All the openings past this point used some sort of animation/transition for the title or something else that would require a fair bit of effort to emulate. Crazy Rainbow is probably the easiest of the bunch, actually, being that the main problem is really just the letters lying on the beach… which really should not be that hard for FUNi to replicate, being that all the shots showing these letters on the beach are just pans with nothing going on aside from maybe a few waves washing back and forth.
-
Well, it seems my Walmart isn't carrying OP S5V1…much to my disappointment. They could very well stock it later on, but I guess I may just opt for RightStuf or Amazon. I don't want to end up falling behind like I did w/ S4. XD

Same here :-(, but to no surprise they are carrying the crappy naruto shippuden and bleach box sets.

Naruto and Bleach aren't crappy!
-
Guys, quick question, since I don't think this has been answered (and somehow my post went missing from earlier). Did FUNimation leave all the fanart intact on episode during the ending sequence?
-
Naruto and Bleach aren't crappy!
Well, you're half right about that.
But I don't think we should get off-topic.
-
Received season 5 voyage 1 today! Can't wait to experience Enies Lobby, Ive never read or watched it before.
Really happy Amazon.ca got it to me on release unlike S4V5 which was almost a month delayed.
-
Naruto and Bleach aren't crappy!
Even if i don't like naruto anymore, I'm merely talking about the fact there's 90%filler in the box set they are selling there.
Anyways it looks like amazon for me, sucks it hasn't shown up there.

Yes.

Looks like FUNimation put it back at 336 now. But I screen capped it for others can see.

I wonder if the 372 count has to do with Jungle P, since 372 is the last time it's used according to ANN.
This is my first time seeing this arc in anime form. ANN says the next openings are the "We are" Strawhat version and Crazy Rainbow, both of these should be in V2 right? Personally even if they don't get to dub anymore songs i'd be okay with that. But at the very least I hope they dub the Strawhat "We are", I would find it very distracting to have the japanese cast singing for the dub version.

Yeah I was thinking the same. And I'm pretty sure none of the openings will be dubbed on the next set. Also is cool since there's gonna be 3 different openings in one set.

It's not going to be dubbed, they don't have the rights to dub any Avex songs. And yeah, they'll both be on the next set. Even Mike said it was weird to have the Japanese VAs sing We Are then switch to the English cast, but nothing can be done of it.
-
I think Funimation should have the letters on the beach kept in it's original form and change it to the gold logo while the Shonen Jump logo fades in sorta like how they did it with Kokoro No Chizu. That's just me speculating however and I know almost nothing of how animation works.
-
. Even Mike said it was weird to have the Japanese VAs sing We Are then switch to the English cast, but nothing can be done of it.
You make it sound like he confirmed it. I heard no news of this. Are you positive? What exactly did he say- "it WOULD be weird"?
-

In an OOP interview the guys said it would be weird to have Japanese VAs sing then go straight to the dub and Mike said that he agreed.
-
It 'would' be. That isn't confirmation that it isn't dubbed. Not in the slightest.
-
It 'would' be. That isn't confirmation that it isn't dubbed. Not in the slightest.
During the One Piece Marathon when Mike was there he was explaining the issues with dubbing the songs and basically he said "we've dubbed the songs before but we have not been able to do so since then" or something along those lines and around that time they were probably finished with Season 5 so I think its safe to say the songs will remain undubbed for this season.
-
At this point I think we should be worrying more about even getting the songs at all than whether or not they'll be dubbed. Even the simulcast isn't safe - the current opening came out months ago and the simulcast still is using the previous one due to licensing issues for the song.
-
I don't see how it would be a problem to have opening 1 redubbed with the straw hats anyway, shouldn't they still have the rights to do that?
-
Not if Avex is not allowing any of their songs to be in English anymore. Yes it's the same lyrics, but the SH version uses new instrumentals. Avex is not going to give those to FUNi.
If this was just the original version of We Are! by Hiroshi Kitadani playing, then I'm sure it'd be fine for FUNi to just throw on Vic's version.
-
I really wanted to hear the whole English cast sing it. :sad:
-
-
Same. It's a shame that we may not have them anymore for the foreseeable future, but what can you do? Atleast we're still getting One Piece at all and I'm grateful for that. Still.. part of me wonders if they could sneakily use the instrumental for the original We Are from Opening 1 that they already have and use that for this version, having the English VA's sing to that instrumental, though I'm sure that's not an option either and they'd probably be in some trouble if they attempted such a thing behind Toei's back.
-

I'm sure Mike would've loved it. Especially since he wrote the lyrics to the song over 5 years ago, so that any trouble of making adaptable lyrics would've been out of the way, along with the work in recording himself singing the song for the actors to use as reference. Half the work would already be taken care of and all they'd have to do is sit back and make sure the cast's singing is in-key to Vic's rendition.

I've thought about that myself. Maybe they could (even the Russian dub started off dubbing the songs without Toei's permission, since they take a really long time to get back to them) but I think FUNi knows that their relationship with Toei is way too valuable to risk damaging with such a risky move, as small as it may be in the grand scheme of things.
-
I think they will most likely skip the 7th opening since it is only used for episodes 279-283 and replace it with either BNW or Crazy Rainbow.They did that already to ending 14 where they replaced it with ending 15.
-
I think they'll be skipping Crazy Rainbow, considering it's sung by the same band that sung ending 14. I don't mind, Brand New World is better and more fitting; and seeing that Crazy Rainbow is likely to be stuck in Japanese, I can just watch it on the internet and not lose a single thing.

They skipped Mirai Koukai because of licensing issues, there's no reason to think they wouldn't get the Straw Hat version of We Are regardless of how few episodes it's used in. They'd never intentionally skip an opening.

Crazy Rainbow was shown in their On the Boat features playing in the background, so it's pretty likely it will be included.

Just ordered voyages 3 and 4 for season 4 will be caught up soon on the current releases
-
Can anyone tell me what font are they using for the subtitles?
-
It was on this day last year they announced season five and string world.

@Tri:

fununatmation uses the same font for all its dvds.
-
Yes,but what's the name of the font?
-

I checked FUNi's facebook and site just to be sure. lol
-

Happy birthday.
But anyway the interviews on this set with the VA's are leading me to believe that they have already started on Season 6. Idk why though its just a hunch.
-
At this point, they probably have. If they announce season 6 at Otakon again like last year, the contract itself should already be finalized.

Thanks! Hope we hear about season six soon! One announcement a year sounds like a good rate.
