That's why season 6 came out in May right? Ohh wait it go delayed, but they totally informed their customers on their blog/twitter/facebook page that this was the case right?
-
they are very hard to bring us more OP. GIVE THEM A BRAKE.
-
They're a good company because they do a good job dubbing shows; they're just unprofessional as hell.
Though I do have a problem with their limited actor pool. I hear the same voices too often and I only watch a few anime.

Sadly most of their voice actors are non Union ones. Which isn't to say that it's a bad thing, because Funimation is still one of the best dubbing companies in North America.

That's kind of an industry problem though. Funimation pulls from the Dallas/Fort Worth actor pool, but you could say the same for Bang Zoom! and LA, or Media Blasters and New York. At the end of the day, anime's a niche market. The small actor pool comes from the small market.
However, I do think Funimation, of all the major dubbing companies, does the best job at pulling actors from the different pools. It's predominantly the Dallas/Fort Worth crew, but there's a significant number of New York or LA actors too.
-
FUNimation has been pulling in an incredible amount of new talent for One Piece.
-
And there we have it.
That means they have already dubbed past episode 392. Now all we do now is wait.
-
BOOM. Now to wait for a release date.
And I tend to believe that they can find other new voice actors- there are so many actors out there looking for work. Problem is that it takes time to find them all and hold so many open auditions.
I'll never complain about One Piece's use of the same actors, though; Mike has done a wonderful job of keeping the talent new and forcing old talents to change their voices. It's just when I watch other anime by them, there are always several voices from One Piece.
And the more i listen to Kuma, the more I hate him. He sounds too much like a villain.

Amazon got the cover for Season 6, Part 4.

Poor Sanji… Zoro is cutting his leg!
-
It also looks like the treasure box set 3 also had it box art updated to show of it's Nami theme. Now I am really curious with what's happening with the 2nd box set
-
@Galaxy:

Haha. That was the first thing I noticed.
Also its kind of weird that the cover depicts the Strawhats battling Kuma when when no scenes with Kuma in them appeared in the trailer for this voyage even once.
-
Is it just me, or are the proportions horrid for this? It looks like they're as small as his hands. Kuma is big, but not nearly that big…
-
Wow, that's a sloppy cover. Probably the worst since the Chopper vs Kumadori cover.
-
Horray! Going to be so impatient for this! Can't wait for more Brook, and Hachi-chan!
I love that character, I hope the DVD's for season 7 will be out soon.
-
Amazon got Season 6, part 4 for 24.99 now.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Collection Boxset 2 have been delayed to February 17th.

Sorry if this has been answered, but what did Funimation do about the Toriko crossover episodes? Are they skipping them on the DVDs? Did they change the episode numbering to look like there are no skipped episodes? Also are they including the Enies Lobby "jump into the falls" episodes where it goes over everyone's backstories again while they jump to the rocket man?

FUNimation hasn't gotten to those episodes yet in the DVDs.
As for the "jump into the falls" episodes, they included them.

Ok great. Well I hope if they do have to skip the Toriko crossover episodes, that they don't change the episode numbering and just explain on the DVD or somewhere how they couldn't include them.

For the Toriko DVDs they skipped them and changed the numbering.
-
I don't think anyone needs to worry about the One Piece episode numbering being changed. The simulcast still uses the same numbering, despite initially skipping the crossover episodes. If these episodes aren't on the DVDs they'll probably just make a note of it.
-
Curious about the DBZ one, though. Might actually release that one on a separate disc assuming DBZ is still a hot property for Funi.
-
It's kind of their baby, I don't see them stop supporting it anytime soon.
-
I can't see them ever releasing it as a single episode on a disc you have to pay for. Either it'll be on the set wth the other episodes, it won't be anywhere, or they'll put it with the other episode specials.
Think there's any progress with the older films? They always say they're working on it, but never actually talk about them.
-
I really like the voice of Kuma in the dub. Its fits the character perfectly.

Collection Boxset 2 cover is now up on Amazon.
-
-
One Piece Collection boxset 3 is now 63.29 on Amazon. So if you are getting the big boxsets, this isn't bad of price for it.
-
Now if only Mega Collection 2 could drop a little bit.
-
Oh boy. Can't wait til Monday.
-
Aleast we are getting some news pretty quickly.
-
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeews!!!
-
it it too much to ask that Season 7 comes in May :(
-
Probably not May. Since I'm more expecting it in June or July.
-

I don't think they would have held back Voyage 4 as much as they did if they were going to start releasing season 7 as soon as May. They probably held voyage 4 back a bit so there wouldn't be as long a break between seasons. Like Sano, I think June or July is the earliest we can expect.
-
yeah you guys are probably right, i wonder if the solicits will be released before the podcast airs
-
With season 6 they waited until halloween season, so i hope they release Season 7 in the end of spring or beginning of summer.
So exited!!!!!!!!!!! -
Any ideas as to what Season 7 will cover?
-
I'm guessing Season 7 is going to cover Sabaody through Impel Down (385 - 458).
-
That seems about right. Season 8 could have been or is already in the process of being licensed as well. It might be the same deal as with Seasons 4 & 5, where it's the same plot and story arc, but it's too long to stick to only one season.
-

That's what I would guess. I've seen people suggest it might only be Sabaody and Amazon Lily, but that seems a bit too short for a season of One Piece.
-
It might also matter on how they release them too. Cause we've been getting 11 episodes a a voyage with the occasional voyage having 12 to help with the episode count.
-
I also assume it'll be up through impel down. No idea of a release date, but the sooner the better. I wonder if they'll announce anything else. I suspect Law's VA.
-
I think they might announce the other supernovas too. They've probably been negotiating for up to the time skip. I see them doing it like many of you. Sabaody to Impel Down for Season 7 and then The Marineford arc to just before the time skip for Season 8.
-
Most likely yeah. I'd be surprised if any VAs get announced come Monday though, but I'd love to be wrong.
