If so, this would be the first time a song secured through simulcast/stream rights couldn't be given a DVD release. Then again, did any other opening have a chance to experience this? Did Jungle P get streamed prior to the first home release?

Looks like Funimation's laughable quality control strikes again – according to their YouTube channel, S6V3 gets a Blu-Ray release :blink:

On Hulu for episode 373, It does have the next opening song. So I think we probably will be getting the next opening.

Weirdly, Best Buy (which thankfully stocked this voayge) had the same mistake. Both price tags used for display had "BD" printed on it, saying it was a bluray release, when it was obviously not. Kinda funny how this error leaked to store shelves too. XD

On what part of Amazon solicits usually release, so i can know to keep checking there

I got Voyage 3. Is something wrong with the art? Because its hard to get used to seeing Choper look like a stuffed animal and Robin and others with mest up figures.
Do any of you know if the quality of art returns later on or will it stay so. If it does for how long, because I don't know if Ill be able to get used to it.

For anyone in Australia, I got my copy of One Piece collection 28 (Season 6, Voyage 1) this week from Madman and learned that the Australian discs are now NTSC. This is amazing news, as we don't get anymore PAL speedup! The only differences are a Madman logo and the trailers removed.

I that it is too expensive for FUNI to make OP on blu ray. LOOKS GOOD ON DVD.

I finished the new set. I thought the voice for Kuma was great.

Hello, I used to follow this thread back when it was discussion II, and haven't even looked at this in a few years. I have a few questions and I hate to be the guy who asks a question that's already been asked many times, but I didn't see this in the FAQs, and don't want to try to look back through 2+ years worth of posts.
Was there ever an official reason given for why the openings and endings weren't dubbed for episodes 207+? If not what would be the best guess? and I suppose while on the subject what would be the likelyhood of future openings being dubbed?
Thanks in advance.

The Season 4 Voyage 1 DVD has a disclaimer stating it to be due to licensing restrictions, I believe.

It actually would look better on Blu-ray though. The DVD resolution is 720x480, which is SD, 480p 16:9, while Blu-ray would allow it to be displayed at 1920x1080, which is HD, 1080p 16:9. The series is animated in 720p though (past 207).

@Galaxy:

I had thought the disclaimer stated licensing issues regarding Mirai Koukai. I just popped it in to check it, and the thing is (in my opinion) confusingly worded. The part that mentions licensing is vague and is implied more to Mirai Koukai, but I've figured licensing was the main reason…
It just seems a bit odd since all prior OP/ED were licensed for dubbing, and One Piece was doing better at the time then it had been, so I would think negotiating licenses would be easier. Just my thoughts on the situation.
-
Official reason is basically the original Japanese label not wanting their songs dubbed anymore. Likelihood of songs being dubbed again are extremely low, so I wouldn't expect it to ever come back.
Thing is since anime isn't a package deal FUNi has to deal with different companies for different elements of the show such as the music end, and they've decided to change their policy on licensing their music for an English speaking audience. Can't imagine them changing their mind again and going back to it after these past few years.

Thanks Maron, that clears it up for me.

i liked to hear vic mingonga sing the sings so much. it was fun.

Collection 12 is coming in April. I also see a page for Voyage 4 on the shop page, but it's not working correctly right now. I assume that means it is also coming in April.

is there a way to see the full listings for things to come in April
-
Oh, I like that box art for collection 12. I like that they used the world government flag instead of the straw hat flag. Also did they add more bonus features, cause I don't remember the behind the scenes feature featuring the actor who played rob lucci.

It was on the original Season 5, Voyage 3.

Season 6 voyage 4 is released on 4/7/2015
Also a textless "We Are!" is listed in the extras, so looks like there are no problems there.
-
Good to see that the "We Are! Remix" is confirmed.
-
Glad to hear that We Are Remix is confirmed as well… But this new special feature has me stumped - "In The Galley with the Straw Hats", and here they are still missing In The Booth with Sonny Strait, Patrick Seitz and Possibly Ian Sinclair.

16 characters of Thank goodness!

ah the end of Thriller Bark is finally scheduled (Sabaody up next!)

Let's hope we get some news soon. Sabaody is the game changing arc of One Piece.
-
Really don't understand the worry over the "We are" remix….there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to think we wouldn't get it....some people on this thread really need to stop jumping to conclusions.
-
Wait a minute will we get a remix of the English version or the Japanese version, hopefully the English

Collection 12 cover looks terrible, must be placeholder.

I assumed “We Are!” would be there since it was used for the subs of 373-384 on Funimation's site (and even before that it was used on the simulcast). However others were concerned since it was removed from the episodes on Crunchyroll. Well, this seems like a pretty good indication that just because an opening is missing from Crunchyroll doesn’t mean it will be absent from the DVDs.

Probably Japanese. It seems unlikely we will get dubbed openings from One Piece anytime in the near future…… or ever again.
-

It's almost certainly the Japanese version. The remix has different instrumentation. They would need the karaoke version of the opening to rerecord it in English and Avex has not been giving those up. That they didn't do that with the Straw Hats version during Enies Lobby says that it isn't likely here, either.

We're not getting dubbed songs anymore, it's the original Japanese.

What's funny is the We Are Straw Hat version had the English Gold Roger and Narrator prologue replacing the Japanese so FUNi actually got to get the instrumental for that remix, but still knew they couldn't actually adapt it. I'm guessing it'll be similar when we get to the dialogue in the middle of Wake Up.

Dialogue is layered differently, though, even in the musical intros…I don't think that Funimation would have required the karaoke for the Straw Hats version of We Are in order to put in the English narration. Any sound mixing experts who can weigh in?

Any chance of a renewal announcement?
-
Hopefully they talk about One Piece and Fairy Tail, more so One Piece
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
No new One Piece announcements whatsoever
-
I'm not surprised. We'll have to wait for the next convention.
In other news, it sucks we have to wait until April to finish Thriller Bark. Sigh.
And am I the only one who dislikes the cover choice for Collection 12?
It's really random to change the flag background this far into the Collection sets.
And are there really no other proper character artwork shots for Spandam available? -

The original Japanese track is stereo, so everything is on the same audio track.

Higher resolution Collection 12 cover:
!
-
It would've been better if they started doing a different flag with Foxy. I'm liking this change by having the corresponding flag with the featured character. I hope they continue this trend.
-
Moria's english voice was amazing on this last set. Chris Guerrero did an excellent job with that role.
-
So they've changed the background flag on Collection 11 to the WG flag at the very last minute.
!
That would explain the delay.
-
Well that is cool
-
I'm happy we finally have a release date for the new set. Hoping to get it from right stuf at least two weeks early. Not sure if I can ration the last eight episodes of this prior set until then. One a week only goes so far.
-
Rightstuf just put up a link for S6V4

I'm exited about what comes next.
Hopefully season 7 is ep 385-456 in six voyages until the end of Impel Down.
And season 8 is ep 457-516 in five voyages until time skip. -
I'm really looking forward to this next set. There's always a certain emotional feeling to the ending of a One Piece arc. That being said Sabaody Archipelago however is the arc I've been waiting to see dub most for the past 6 years. I soooooo can't wait.
-
Water seven was the leader in terms of what I wanted to see dubbed, but Sabaody is a second.
-
I just realized its going to take at least two more sets before we reach Amazon Lily, i am looking forward to Boa Hancock and Impel Down mostly since it involves my favorite character Ace though Marineford looks to be happening in 2017 at this rate

Oh no guys… I failed completely... I didn't wanted to double dip but the amazon collection box made me do it. It was just a good idea! Anyone with me? I really hope they make a third set too.
