I really hope SW ships Wednesday or Thursday so we can enjoy it over the long weekend… Any time now we should get that charge on our cards!

As nice as that would be, I'm not counting on it till next week. And, as usual, if it doesn't ship on or before next Tuesday, I'm canceling and switching to amazon.
This weekend wouldn't be a great time for it to come for me. Writing the entirety of a 30-40 page fiction thesis this weekend.
-
Uh, so the DVD description on the back of S5V4 is gonna use this word?
On another note, apparently my "Pre-order" for strong world is back-ordered. Guess my wait might be a bit…
-
I can't see the new Voyage 5 trailer for some reason, "…not available in my territory", it says. This is the first time it's ever been an issue for me, all previous Voyage trailers have worked just fine for me in the past.
Mirrored for anybody else who can't see it due to region restrictions.
-
Huh, could be Rightstuf's error. I just preordered Strong World on Amazon. For some reason whenever I preorder on Rightstuf my dvd always comes nicked and dented, which irritates me as a collector :getlost:

I think they switched their packaging lately to be worse/tighter.

By DVD are you referring to the disc itself being nicked/dented or the case/box that it comes in? I'm assuming the latter, but thought it'd be better to ask than to just assume.
-
I don't care much for the trailer at all. Considering how early it came out, it completely spoils the ship situation.
-
The end of the trailer for the previous Voyage showed the ship getting burned. Yeah here we see who's building it and the look of it, but spoilers in the trailers is nothing new. Not saying it's a great thing but I'd rather get something natural and hype-inducing like this then see FUNi desperately go out of their way to not reveal anything from the set. I can't imagine how that Usopp part would've went without the shot of the Sunny sailing off.

unless they waited until after voyage 4 came out not sure how it could've stayed spoiler free

Yea, it's just the box, the discs are fine, but it still kind of irritates me, so I just use Amazon. Rather get it in good condition than early.

I finally realize why a lot of you get so impatient when waiting for the voyages to start shipping the wait for strong world has been torture
-
Reserved for your order, bitches.
We shall see it on Tuesday (no mail on Veteran's day).
-
I will have it tomorrow. Unlike with Voyage 3, my store came through this time.
Expect impressions and notes around Midnight EST.
-
Yes…. the wait is almost over.
-
FINALLY! This wait has been terrible! God speed with shipping Strong World, god speed…
-
Reserved for your order, bitches.
We shall see it on Tuesday (no mail on Veteran's day).
Mine is still backordered. What was the date that you pre-ordered?
-
I should get mine tuesday
I will have it tomorrow. Unlike with Voyage 3, my store came through this time.

Looking forward to reading it
-

Wait, what?
Is that supposed to be a joke?
-
Looks like I wasted $6 on priority mail since regular mail would've gotten here Tuesday as well :P
Glad to see it ship though!!
-
Mine is also reserved for my order :D :D :D
-
@AJT:
Mine is still backordered. What was the date that you pre-ordered?
The first day it was listed , as usual.
-
The first day it was listed , as usual.
And when was the first day it was listed? I'm asking to see if it was because I ordered after you, and that's why mine is still backordered. I ordered mine on September 12th.
-
@AJT:

I preordered mine in early October, and it's reserved for order as well. You should probably call/email them for a confirmation, because yours should be the same.
Too bad I won't get it this weekend, but at least I'll have it to look forward to next week. That and Voyage 4 should be shipping in the coming weeks also, can't wait!

Ordered on August 19th.

Thank you. Just emailed them.

It also depends on which page your checking, it has to be the specific one for the SW order, not the page that just lists all your RightStuf orders out.
-
Weird my order of Strong world still says nothing…
A little bit off topic but is there a site like this for the fairy tail dvd's??
I started to watch the robin ark all over again.
it still is giving me the chills.
can't wait for voyage 4! -

I was using the specific one for the SW order. They emailed me back and said that mine was shipped out this morning. On my SW order page it says, "The information shown here was last updated Nov 8 2013 12:37:17 AM CST" So, it was shipped out after 1:37 EST, and is why it still says backordered since it always updates once every 24 hours.

Make sure you're checking the right place, and contact them if you have problems.

You can get FT DVD's from rightstuf as well, they're both Funimation.
If you're referring to a FT focused DVD thread, I don't know myself but try some popular FT forums, perhaps
-
My copy is reserved, so I'm hoping they ship it sooner than later.
-
Ordered mine on August 19th and mine still says backordered.
Rightstuf pls.

Good evening, everyone.
I haven't started watching it yet, but I've taken it out of the packaging. My first observation is that the two discs are virtually indistinguishable from each other. You have to REALLY squint hard to see the tiny Blu-ray or DVD logo.
The DVD is region 1 only, and the Blu-ray is region A only.
I'll be starting up the movie shortly, and will post non-spoiler info about the presentation, music, credits, and whatever.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Oh yes, the case has reversible cover art.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Uh-oh. Disclaimer when starting the disc:
Original ending song for movie has been changed. Oh well.

Wow. Music rights sure are hard to get. Is the reversible cover art the original bad design we war before. Does it have a slipcase?
Thanks!

Looking forward to reading your thoughts on One Piece greatnessAs for the ending theme, well what can you do. Someone here said other countries who released this movie also didn't get "Fanfare", so I'm not to surprised. As long as it's a good song & doesn't leave the ending credits musicless i'll be fine.
-
The reversed cover art is a screen cap (or perhaps promotional image) of the Straw Hats in that black get-up with the weapons entering a building. You know what I mean. lol
The opening credits are left in Japanese without translation or subtitles.
The original blue logo is kept, unaltered for a change. Yay!
Shiki's laugh is kept.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Yes, it comes in a slip case.
-
Does the right stuf status "ship complete" mean UPS already has it?
-
I'll be honest here. Having the ED song replaced really, really sucks. I love and support Funimation's releases but this whole continuous music rights issue with the releases makes me feel like were experiencing Russian roulette when it comes to openings and endings with the series now. So far Mirai Koukai, Hands Up, and Fanfare have all been affected. It's no longer an issue of songs not being dubbed anymore we don't know which ones are can and can't be used. There's nothing we can do about it because it has more to deal with the legalities between Toei, the record companies, and so on. I just find it ultimately stupid and annoying.
-
To be fair it's not like FUNi is the only dubbing licensor to not get the rights to Fanfare, I don't think any other countries did. Less to do with Toei and Avex than the fact that Mr. Children is HUGE in Japan. I wonder what the replaced song is.
-
I'm also very irritated at the occurring music rights issues.
Though it's not a big issue for me, but for some people, these type of situations can make it harder and harder to support the official releases. -
I could forgive the lack of Fanfare, but down the line when funimation releases get to punk hazard if the dvd's still have We Go! up through 619+ like on the simulcast, then I will be severely disappointed. Honestly that is my biggest worry right now when it comes to future Funi releases.

I just don't really like we go, if it was suck on Kokoro no chizu or something, then I wouldn't mind much.
-
Indigo's laugh is also kept.
The ending song is…just generic background music from the movie soundtrack. Ironically, since the Japanese credits are left unaltered, it proudly proclaims in English that the ending song was FANFARE. Feh.
After the movie is fully over, we get English credits and translated Japanese credits against a silent, black screen. In double confusing irony, even the English credits announces the theme song is "fanfare" by Mr. Children.
Huh? I wonder if the licensing issue happened very late in production, after the credits had been finished.
All of the Japanese credits are translated, including the animators, etc.
Here's the complete disclaimer when starting the disc, much like the earliest season 4 discs:
In keeping with FUNimation's commitment to honoring our Licensing partners, the original closing music for One Piece: Strong World has altered from the original Japanese release.
Extra is a behind the scenes introduction to Brook. It starts off with live footage from a cosplay event at Anime Expo of people dressed up as One Piece characters talking about the show, and eventually Brook. Then it moves on to a one-on-one interview with Ian Sinclair and Mike McFarland and some Brina Palencia mixed in, with more convention sound clips. Highlight is Ian giving a little taste of Bink's Brew.
The only other extra is the English trailer for the movie we've already seen, and generic trailers for other shows, including a season 5 voyage 4 trailer.
There is NO commentary track of any kind.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
As for the dub, it was phenomenal. Scott McNeil is pure awesome. But Ian Sinclair has some awesome Brook lines that gives me full confidence that he's the right man for the job. He has an awesome, jovial laugh after one joke that tails off into sadness that had me in stitches.
-
No commentary… wow that really sucks >.<

@LUFFY#1:
Does the right stuf status "ship complete" mean UPS already has it?
In short. Yes.
Here's something's strange. I picked economy shipping, so it would arrive by USPS. But the shipping method just changed to, "FIRST CLASS MAIL". Never seen that before. I hope they don't charge me for that. If they do, I'm going to have to call them.

They upgraded my shipping, too. It was average priority mail, but now its twoday priority mail. Average used to be four.
Jeez. I thought at least the special feature would be a look at the casting process. In terms of special features, this is a disappointing, barebones release. Yohoho, not that it has any bones!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Glad to hear the dub was great! Cant wait to watch it.
-
So no fanfare… Well, good thing I have the Japanese BluRay then.
Still probably gonna pick up the movie just for Brook's voice though. Guess I'll have to stick with the DVD though. I mean, my PC's BluRay player was bought in Japan so it's Region A, but I'm not terribly overfond of playing BluRays on my PC unless there's no other choice... My PC handles DVDs a lot better.
...There's no UK-release of this movie slated for the near future, right?
-
Just got the confirmation from rightstuf so hyped my copy should be here by tuesday
-
Right Stuff says my order is on its way.
Soon strong world bluray/DVD combo will be on my shelf.
As well as the next season 5 and my second copy of volume 67.
I'll try and trade my volume 67 mistake at barns and noble for 69. -
My copy should arrive on Tuesday!
