Funimation DVD Discussion III (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

"Kamehameha" doesn't sound stupid in Japanese, so why would "Turtle Wave" sound stupid in English?
Simple my sir….. when translated as turtle wave you wind up removing the main point of the word....
ever heard of King kamehameha I? Well thats the joke... its a double entndre on the name of King Kamehameha and can translate to turtle wave.... directly translating it as "turtlewave" completely ruins the point of it's name.
meanwhile "heaven-shocking lunar fang" is not only a bit of a mouthful, its untrue to the name of the attack.... you wouldnt translate the official name of a character, so why translate the official name of an attack?
that being said however I think Sogeking to Sniper King while a tad odd at first was a good move.
-
For all we know, maybe Toei had Mike use Haki kind of like how they decided on sniper king over sogeking.
-
At least episode 325 on the website is using Teach in the subtitles, as opposed to the simulcast's Teech….
-
Haha. Jerry Jewel is just acting like a fucking idiot on this commentary. I don't know if I'm amused or bored.

Other than this, I can't think of a show that commonly did that.
On another note, I'm surprised they're still fansubbing a show that has an official sub simulcast.

but Inuyasha was meh to begin with…. also umm didn't Viz dub that?
-
Yeah, just looking for a real life example.

I can't remember where I heard it, but I recall someone (maybe an interview with Mike?) saying that Toei has a master-list of terms and how they're to be translated, if at all. I'm not 100% sure on that though, maybe someone can verify?
Also, I don't know about you guys, but Armament Ambition and Observation Ambition sound pretty stupid.

I, too, cannot recall exactly where I heard this, but I distinctly remember hearing about this as well.

One Piece Season 5, Part 6 is 9 on Amazon top 100 for anime and manga.

That's great to hear…(cricket noises)
-
Toei is more strict on certain terms being used for the simulcast translations, but gives FUNi more leeway for the DVD's. But I believe Haki was something they wanted left untranslated.
-

It's true. Mato (who is/was a translator from FUNimation) discussed way back when how Toei has this master-list and how it leads to FUNi having to pick their battles when it comes to using certain terms. I believe Kuro kept an attack name used in the 4Kids dub as a result due to Toei thinking it sounded better.
-
Probably cuz it also made more sense while staying in line with the original. Like when Luffy calls Iceberg Ice-pops or Franky calls him Ice-for-brains or the "Jack in the Box" for Gaimon since the original joke isn't used here and wouldn't make sense.

You mean the "Out-of-the-Bag attack"?

Man the end of this month sure is going by slow. I keep checking the order page to see if the next set is about to ship, then I realize how soon it is.
Not sure if I want to listen to that second commentary. The first one was enough of idiot Jewel for me.
Still rationing the episodes. Looking forward to Usopp's return (or lack thereof!) and finally leaving Water 7. Feels like post Enies long drags on for forever. The filler episodes really remind me of the fillers in loguetown, though.
-
-
Nah, 4Kids called it "stealth walk." They would NEVER use that particular "p" word.
-
i thought that i hear it in ONE PIECE GRAND BATTLE GAME.
-
Nnnope :P I remember it very clearly being stealth walk.

Amazon got a One Piece Season 5 sale right now. Season 5, Parts 1 - 5 are 20.49 each right now.

think I'll partake in that and get Pt 5 @ $21 and add Pt 6 @ $17 (and since they matched WalMart's price, I'll add Robotics;Notes Pt 1 @ $20 as well)

Is the Robotic Notes sale just for the blu-ray and not the limited edition one?

@LUFFY#1:

It looks like it's the non-limited edition, unfortunately (the LE version is listed at 69.98 retail, the one on sale is the 64.98 list price). For $20 though, I'll sacrifice not having that chipboard box … and the character cards, but they didn't really matter to me

Nice to see Foxy on a cover.
-
Hah. That's funny. Any predictions on future covers?

Merry will probably be the star of the 10th collection cover.

either sogeking or second gear luffy on collection 11
-
So for the covers they aren't going by relevant main cast anymore, but rather the characters which are relevant to each set?
Makes more sense though I think having Aokiji featured on the cover would have been a better choice. Looking forward to seeing Franky!It's a shame America doesn't get Japan's log collection covers. Is that because they are too expensive to license or that Toei doesn't want to entice Japanese consumers to import sets from America?
-
Yes- they very much fear importing since their DVDs are so damn expensive.
I was thinking new characters like Lucci, Franky, Spandam, Aokiji, and others for the new covers. Merry and Luffy have already been on covers.

hopefully we get a cp9 cover for one of them or maybe robin as a child
-
I had a feeling it was either going to be Foxy or Afro Luffy who would make it on the cover.

Collection 10: 230 - 252 (S4V3 and S4V4) - Franky
Collection 11: 253 - 275 (S4V5 and S5V1) - Second Gear Luffy
Collection 12: 276 - 299 (S5V2 snd S5V3) - Robin
Collection 13: 300 - 324 (S5V4 and S5V5) - Merry's Funeral -

Collection 13: 300 - 324 (S5V4 and S5V5) - Merry's FuneralSo they'd show Foxy but not Lucci or Spandam? Huh. I'm betting Lucci and Spandam will replace your Luffy and Robin predictions.
-

I was thinking the same. But I would choose Blueno instead of Spandam.
-

I feel as though Second Gear Luffy and Robin's "I Wanna Live" are more iconic images of those episode sets than Lucci and Spandam. Then again, Foxy made it over Afro Luffy, so idk

Just wondering, are some of you actually planning on double dipping? These are the exact same discs..

For some it's a chance to consolidate their collection and make space.

I personally am double dipping because I like to collect all of Funimation's anime releases. But I know that a lot of people like to buy the collections and then sell the corresponding voyages to save on space and sometimes make a few dollars back.
-
Double dipping, for me, is mostly just to support Funimation dubbing One Piece. Also, it's goot to have large sets to lend out (not that I've done much of that thus far).
I don't know, I figure $20 is a small price to pay to support One Piece every few months- even if I don't get much out of it. Almost like a kickstarter or charity- it helps them without much personal benefit to me.
-
I probably won't, unless by some crazy miracle they dub the opening themes.
-
We're in the waiting period for the next set, by the way. I'm hoping it comes early. Next week or the week after.

Oh wow you're right, it comes out on the 4th… for some reason I was thinking the 14th :O

You probably confused it with S6V1 that comes out May 14th. Can't wait.

Next set is only a filler set, but gosh am I ready for a new arc.
