The cover looks great. I certainly hope the Voyage four one is Luffy and Buggy, I can't imagine those two not being on it.

Just realized we'll be hearing Jinbei on this next voyage. That's exciting. Iva on the one following it, but he's not so big a deal to me.
-
I guess voyage 4 isn't going to have a cover then…
Yep. It'll be blank canvas,with permanent marker saying "voyage 4"
-
Maybe FUNimation got inspired by the Bob Ross hype and wants each person to paint their own cover for Voyage Four.
-
I can just use this togashified image someone sketched me then ha-ha.

Funimation still exists? This thing called the Internet is really Funny…

lol what? what do you mean
-
A Treasure Chest with all the current movies (and maybe an open spot for the next one?) would be kinda cool FUNi …...
-
It would be cool, but I'd rather they get caught up before putting much focus on movies that don't have "film" in the name.
Where's movie 11?
-
It would be nice if they got caught up but realistically speaking I don't think that's going to happen with OP, at least while the series is still going on. The latest Voyage ended with Ep 421 while Japan will air ep 721 just a few days before the US release of Voyage 4; that means at that time the "official dub home video release" will still be 300 eps behind. Getting into the numbers of that: 300 eps / roughly 12 ep sets = 25 more voyages to get us up to where Japan is right now. Then lets say FUNi releases the Voyages every 2 months it will still be over 4 years from now before the dub home video release is on the ep Japan will be airing just a few weeks from now.
*As far as the dub goes, we're on (ep 421) an ep Japan aired 6 years ago

Josh and Mike have mentioned the possibility of a broadcast dub or a speed-up, the latter probably being more a realistic option than the former.
Catching up with the JPN log collection sets seems more doable than trying to catch up with the anime.
-
I should clarify that what I meant by that was, I don't want them to dub the movies at a rate where it will slow down Voyage releases. A movie or two per year could still be dubbed without slowing down releases much if at all.

Having a speed-up would be pretty good so we can get dubbed episodes closer to the Japanese releases and that wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities either. Though to do that FUNimation would probably have to pump out a Voyage set each month, which since they did that for Fairy Tail in the past, is also possible. FUNimation is releasing Voyage 4 in December and Voyage 5 in January respectively so that is 24 episodes they will release over a 2 month period (Eps 422-445) which in Japan aired between October 18th 2009 - April 4th 2010. So that is essentially 5-6 months worth of episodes in Japan brought out in the U.S. in 2 months. If they kept that up, catching up would be pretty easy. Though since FUNimation Feb slates have just been announced and no One Piece is included, there goes my idea.
-
i am a one piece and fairy tail fan, it sucks there will be no fairy tail in Jan or Feb
-
Anyone that order the One Piece sets on Amazon. Amazon got Season 7, Voyage 4 for 29.99 for preorder.

-
Less than a month till the release of voyage 4 and still no cover. Is that normal? did it happen before?
-
Yeah, it happen a couple times during Season 3. Since they kept changing the covers for the last 3 volumes of Season 3. We didn't found out Season 3, Fifth Voyage cover change until people started getting the set.
-
Oh cool, I was just worried that there might be a delay. glad this isn't the case.
Thanks.
-
Stumbled across this.
Found it on Barnes and Nobles page
-
YES! That's exactly the scene I'd hoped they would use!
-
And I like the cover for Season 7 Voyage 4.
-
@Elektrik:
YES! That's exactly the scene I'd hoped they would use!
Agreed. I was rereading this arc about a month ago and thought that scene would be perfect for the voyage 4 cover
-
Odd place to find the cover, but nontheless it's pretty good.
-
Larger S7v4 cover:
-
It spoils for those that just follow the DVDs. With that said, I think it is still pretty awesone.
-
It's almost like the cover of Volume 55 in some ways.
-
Thanks for the HQ cover, WTK.
I like it. Although they flubbed up the foreshortening on Bon's right foot by putting it behind the border.
Now it looks like he has a grotesquely large right leg. :S -
The Mr. 3 cutoff is really botched, and I wish we could see his and Buggy's faces more clearly, but the cover is okay by me. Not bad or particularly good. Can't wait for the set, though. I've been rationing the whereabouts episodes. They're very fun.
-
Finally!!! My fav cover for this season. worth the wait.
-
@WTK:
Larger S7v4 cover:
I think that cover art just destroy the fabric of our universe. lol Love it already. :)
-
Can't believe Funi's up to Impel Down now…
-
Finally!!! My fav cover for this season. worth the wait.
I think the voyage one cover is way better.
-
That cover is fantastic. Except for Bon's feet.
-
What sticks out to me way more than Bon's feet is the Mr. 3 cut off. Bon's body exits the frame, but Mr. 3's cuts off right before it would've ended.
-
Haven't gotten any of the dvds for the last two years or so, so I'm hoping for a Rightstuf or Amazon sale on the dvds to catch up on them.
It's definitely surreal for Funimation to be this far though considering I can remember buying the first dvds back pre-2010.
-
Regarding the commentary on the cover, I would ask for at least a little understanding….
Essentially, no matter how they did it, someone would have been cut off. Bon Clay is clearly considered more important (understandably) to the story than Mr. 3.
What I am asking here is to be a bit more understanding. This cover is good, but let's be reasonable in our critique, shall we? Funimation has been incredible with their efforts in dubbing the series. Even taking the 4kids disaster out of the equation, this can be said, I think. So let's not get too nitpicky.
-
I don't think we're being too nitpicky. It's a very noticeable layout error, but it doesn't ruin the cover for any of us.
Dubbing the series and packaging design are two different jobs in Funimation. I'm not seeing how the former is relevant to the latter.

Trailer for voyage 5 is out. I have to say I really like megellans voice. The trailer itself was not all that impressive. It had great music but is suffers from the same problem the last two trailers had and that is it focuses on one scene for too long. Hell I wouldn't be suprised if that this whole trailer was almost from one episode

I agree magellan's voice really fits him. They have been doing great casting for this season. the only voice I have problem with this season is elder nyon
-
Magellan sounds soooooo familiar. Where have I heard that voice before? I love the actor they chose for him.
I wished Funi would release the trailer music they use for purchase. Rally digging the track.
-

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not Enough Bon Clay! Boo I say!
No but seriously, both the cover and this trailer focus too much on just the Luffy vs Magellan fight, even when its really only the first couple episodes of the boxset, and theres plenty of other stuff going on. But I am liking Magellan's voice….........But boo, not enough Bon Clay…
-
Magellan sounds great to me.

Unless you mean the whole act of critiquing a cover at all, I'm not sure I'm being too nitpicky. I mean, it's a pretty clear and obvious error. What's strange about it isn't just that Bon Clay breaks the borders, but that the monster's arm/elbow (right above Mr. 3) and Mr. 3's foot also breaks out, so I really have no idea why they randomly decided to start cutting off Mr. 3's body. It almost looks like someone drew a white box on top of the image in Windows Paint. It's just a strange mistake worth mentioning; no one's getting angry about it or anything.
It's still a good cover, but when I see it, clear errors stick out and the freedom of the internet and everyone discussing their opinions on the cover allows me to point out these errors.

New audio track is great! Megellan sounds fine, though I was never picky about him it makes sense that his voice is so deep. And yeah, I agree completely that this trailer suffers from focusing on a single scene– makes everything less exciting.
-
Hmm as magellan's biggest fan ive been looking forward to hearing his english voice for some time, and its not bad. My only beef with it is that it sounds gravely to a point where it sounds like it has a distorted affect to it. But until i can hear more ill hold my hells judgement. Great to see us reach this point though, its been a long time coming

"I…WAAAAAANT...MYYYY....BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
Go Colleen, go!
I'm introducing my younger sibling to one piece through the dub and its apparent how much better colleen has gotten as luffy, excellent line here.
-
Yeah Colleen took a while go to get past the raspiness I think, which helps a lot. Like, she wasn't bad in season 3 and even seasons and 2 but by the time season 4 finishes and especially into season 5 and 6, she really brings her own unique take to Luffy's personality that works better. Some of the attacks are still raspy naturally but his comedic scenes sound great to me and are overall how I'd imagine Luffy in English.
