@Elektrik:
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 FuneralI think it'll be something like:
Collection 10: 230 - 252 (S4V3 and S4V4) - Lucci (maybe with the rest of CP9)
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 or Franky (since Franky officially joins in V5) -
Next set is only a filler set, but gosh am I ready for a new arc.
The IceHunter arc is one of the better filler arcs. Not as good as G5, but it's stuff with Franky in the crew.
Also, Campacino and Brindo are underrated.
-
Sigh, was hoping the new post would mean the set is now shipping.
-
I'm hoping the set ships during mid-winter break for me next week.
-
I've been anticipating this. I only have one more episode to watch on the last set, so I'm really hoping it'll come this week. We really haven't been getting sets too early as of late.

Sorry to burst your bubble, sheesh.
Heh, no worries. Actually I just pre-ordered V6 yesterday, so I'll keep an eye on my order.

@LUFFY#1:
Just wondering, are some of you actually planning on double dipping? These are the exact same discs..
Im not double dipping i got all the collection 1-8 plus all the voyages after those collections. Im just waiting for season 6
-
I'm not rebuying them again. Since I already got them. And plus I'm just waiting for Season 6.

Looks like I haven't summed up my thoughts on Enies Lobby yet, so here goes. First, and foremost, it was truly a miracle to see this in English, it's been 7 or 8 years coming. I saw a few snippets here and there, and heard of events like Monster Chopper and Ussop leaving the crew, and that there was something to do with Robin selling the crew out or something (at this time, I had just gotten into One Piece and didn't even know of the manga yet, in fact, all I was familiar with was the 4Kids dub). Over the years, however, and as I just grew more and more to like Robin in all the other arcs, I chose to not ever read the manga version or watch anything on the computer, I will wait until I have all the DVDs in my possession and watch them on my screen, so I can get a genuine impression.
The whole wait was worth it.
To say I was entertained is putting it too lightly. Every time the scene would shift onto Spandam and Robin, my emotions would shift with them, knowing that this ass is about to do something terrible to my love. Whether it's punching her, pulling her hair, kicking her down the stairs, everything was like an emotional roller coaster for me. I have never seen such a beautiful person so tortured and shamed. Franky was like a big hero in all of this, I really had to stand and give him a round of applause. Robin never would have changed her mind had it not been for the tremendous emotional support Franky gave her, now I truly see why people ship those two. As for Luffy, oh boy Luffy, did you do it this time. I still was not a fan of you running around Impel Down and Marineford without so much as ONE OTHER NAKAMA, but I still look forward to the eventual English release more than ever. The way Luffy was handling this whole thing, saying things like "I won't ever let them take away everything that's important to me." And his pure, rash, confidence at the beginning of the recap episodes when they all jump onto the bridge. I really became sorry for the kinds of things I said about how I hated him (at the time, I was still coming off the 4kids dub…). I just want people to understand something, I don't care for Luffy's own story. It actually won't be him to find the great treasure, sure he'll become King of the Pirates, but the Straw Hats will find the treasure. This story would not have gotten me if not for the interactions between the crew, this was why I felt the way about Luffy saying how Robin amounts to everything important to him, he loves his crew just as much as I.
Overall, great arc. A+ for story, and I thought the anime deserves an A++ at the least.
Bonus mention goes to the Boss Luffy episodes. GREAT side stories taking place on a different landscape and culture, but within the exact same One Piece universe. Robin was absolutely beautiful, and the way she used that Bow and arrow, and how she used her powers to find the tree… she's so awesome <3

I just picked up Voyages 3-5 of One Piece Season 5 (Still waiting on an order update for Voyage 6, of course).
I'm glad to hear they included the Boss Luffy episodes, but we don't have the very first one. Or any of the specials.
Has anyone asked Mike about getting the rights to those, yet?
-
Just ordered voyage 6 off amazon along with a new bluray player won't be getting it early as you guys but still can't wait to watch ace vs Blackbeard

People ask FUNimation a bunch of times about the specials. It's a seperate licensing deal from the episodes so I doubt they give much thought to them. I'd prefer they focus primarily on the episodes. If they can get specials, great (especially newer ones like Episode of Luffy and Nami). If not, not a huge loss.
-
They'll get the movies before they attempt the specials. So the real question is: when will the next film be out?
-

In all likelihood they'll either do Film Z or Movie 6 next but there's no real way of predicting if or when.
O-chan
-
as popular as Z is there is a problem with timing. I mean they were okay with brook and the sunny premiering in the strong world before the show. But I don't know if they'd do Z THIS much before the new world.
Movie 6 seems to be a popular pick so probably that one. Or realistically whatever toei decides to let them have.
-
They said before that z is next, then 6.
In other news, set is reserved for my order. Should get it Monday.
-
oh it's getting close then huh? excellent…. yes...
-

Awesome, mine is reserved too. Although I won't get it until Tuesday b/c USPS doesn't deliver on Monday due to the holiday
-
Damnit! Credit card problem. Now they won't ship it till Monday, so I'll get it a few days after everyone. Damndamndamn.
And the break between this set and the next is so big that I'm gonna have to cut my ration from two episodes a week to one.
-
D: they're all normally 23.99 what happened?
-
Well that is a surprise. I just got an email from RightStuf saying my order for One Piece Season 5, Voyage 6 has just shipped. I did not expect that when I woke up this morning
-
My card has been charged but no shipping confirmation yet.
-
I just got a shipping confirmation this morning as well, apparently I used 2 day shipping for some reason. Hopefully it does arrive Monday.
-
I also got a shipping confirmation this morning! Awesome!
-
Just got my shipping confirmation! Says it's supposed to get here Tuesday for me.
-
Just got my shipping confirmation! Says it's supposed to get here Tuesday for me.
Forgot I could just check that, yeah, mine says Tuesday also.
-
Horay! Got my shipping conformation, but it's still in Iowa so Tuesday it is too. Looking forward to Ace vs Blackbeard.
-
Any last bets on if we actually get opening 9 Jungle P?

@LUFFY#1:

I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure we will.
-

It's on the onepieceofficial simulcast, so I don't see why we wouldn't.
-
I really do love FUNimation's treatment of the series. Previously I was unsure if I'd continue to buy the series considering how (rightfully) pricey the 8 Collection sets are but after seeing Enies Lobby I think I feel pretty much obligated to keep buying them now. The series will no doubt take up an insane about of wall space by the time it's all done but it's worth it just to let them keep dubbing it.
Really looking forward to finally seeing Ace vs Blackbeard along with the filler arc, which I skipped when running through the show subbed.

It is? I remember there being thoughts me way me not get it on the DVD's, well glad to see there are no doubts.

Pricey? All the collections routinely go under $20; most of them including #9 are actually on sale for $15 right now. They're some of the least expensive anime sets on the market.
-
Think he might be referring to the Rightstuf prices which for some reason have inexplicably gone up.
-
I think that's just because a current Funimation sale just ended. I see this kinda stuff happen from time to time. LE box sets that I usually see for $42 go back up to $52, etc. But give it, maybe a week or more, and the prices should go back to the usual. As it is, I'm gonna see if I can at least grab one of the Season 5 sets from Amazon while the sale is still going on there…I've completely fallen behind...I blame Best Buy. XD
-
The collections individually aren't expensive by any means, but when bought in bulk they easily price over $100. I bought the collections when they were still roughly worth $25 each, so I spent up to $200 on all 8 of them. It's a lot of content though so it's not like I didn't get my money's worth.
-
Man. Credit card stopped set from shipping Friday, but now their systems are down so it isn't shipping today either.
-
Should be coming int he mail today, so excited!
-
Looks like my set won't be coming in today, oh well. Could somebody who does get it in post a clip of the final next episode preview (of 337)?

Yeah I remember roughly 8 years ago that for the same price you could buy all those episodes on DVD, of course you would be paying for stupid low-res bootlegs with with crappy Chinese translations, and here we are today!
-
The thing I'm the most curious about is whether or not they're going to bring back Blackbeard's "zehahaha" laugh. I won't be upset if they don't since his original dub laugh is just fine, but it would be cool.
-
I just got the set, and I'm probably only going to watch the first episode for now, but I'd just like to confirm that Blackbeard and Burgess both have their laughs.

sweet can't wait to watch it even more now sadly have to wait a few weeks tho
-
Oh dang, that's awesome!
And speaking of which, I think it's pretty safe to assume that we'll be hearing the laughs of Moria, Perona and Hogback dubbed too. Looking forward to that (and hopefully dub Moria's laugh will be less grating).

You do not know how happy you just made me. Zehahahahahahaha
-
I got the set also now, going for a marathon…till I stop.
EDIT: I'm watching this set and am just stunned at the fact that we(well FUNi) has been able to get this far in the series. It's crazy how worried we all were about even getting season 4 to now getting seasons licensed before the previous one even ends. Seeing opening 9 on my tv screen via the DVD's was just such a treat and feels like a testament for picking up these voyages each time they come out.
The Ace Vs. Blackbeard fight was very cool too see also, pretty much a tease setting up the big arcs after season 6, but was still very awesome too see. BlackBeard's voice back in Skypiea is definitely a contributing factor to why I love the show so much so it was very nice to hear his voice again(even though we still hear the voice on other characters.)
Only watched the first episode of the filler, but it's pretty refreshing and feels like a natural continuation from where we left off. It's so nice seeing Luffy and Usopp acting like best friends again. Also that ending was very bad ass, hate to sound corny, but when this crew is together there is no stopping what they can overcome.
-
Bah. My set still hasn't shipped out due to technical difficulties. Damnit.
