I believe Strong World had a cover art change, even if it was just to get rid of the text it had originally.
The runtime comes out as only 11 episodes, I personally wouldn't get my hopes up as the evidence seems to be not in our favour. I'd like for them though to keep the original episode count, with a disclaimer or something before the menu. I had trouble keeping track of what Toriko episode I was on because of the different episode numbering.
-
Do you think theyll release the first two episodes early. Because IMO that would be odd considering what happens. Hoping funimation doesnt spoil too much in the trailers.
-
The Toriko crossover episode was really enjoyable, hopefully, they will be able to get it. I don't see why they would not be able to get it since they have the Toriko license, and it's technically the first episode in Toriko.
Ian Sinclair Brook's voice actor voices Toriko too.
-
Rightstuf now got Season 8 Voyage 3 for preorder. And they even mention the set is Episodes 481 - 492.
-
Crunchyroll was able to get the first two Toriko crossovers so I don't think it's ruled out just yet.
Moving on to the cover, I really like it. Although excluding Whitebeard or Akainu seems strange, since those two also have important roles in this set for obvious reasons.
This scene would have been a good cover alternative.!

This is so becoming Season 3, Voyage 5 situation all over again. If you don't know what that is. When Season 3, Voyage 5 originally came out. It was originally supposed to have Episode 206 according to description on many online stores. But it ended up only have up to episode 205 and that long year break happen and that 206 end being on the first boxset of Season 4. So this is basically that 2.0. lol.

Considering that the runtime is the runtime for 11 episodes and not 12, I'd wager that the box art is correct and that 492 will be omitted but we'll get true confirmation when a trailer comes out.

I wish we would know who is the new brand manager for One Piece, so we could ask him/her on twitter.
-
The most likely explanation to me is that whoever wrote the online description for S8V3 saw that the next set is due to start with with 493 and "corrected" what they though was a typo. It's a pretty strange situation for a numbered episode to just be missing. Toei kinda screwed over their international partners by numbering the crossover and then not letting anyone have it.
If it does turn up, wouldn't Funimation reference it in the trailers/marketing to get Toriko fans interested?Edit: Looks like Funimation has updated their shop page, as 492 is no longer listed. No Toriko crossover for S8V3 then.

Just got my reply back from FUNi
Thank you for contacting Funimation support. We appreciate your business.
We apologize for the confusion. The correct list of episodes being released is 481-491, as it shows on the cover art. I will contact my website team to get this corrected. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Thank you!
Tom
Funimation.com SupportSo the Toriko crossover episode will not be on this set as they're skipping over it.

did they confirm that they will be skipping it?
-

It's not on this set so they won't be saving it for the next one because if they had it they would include it on this set to make it have 12 episodes like all the other Voyages. All the proof you need is in the quote dude.
-
did FUNi record any audio for Mihawk's little speech about the distance between him and Whitebeard (just before he attacked)? Because I was watching that episode today and it was weird, I was reading the subtitles but hearing no audio
-
Yea, that is in the episode. It isn't in the ending episode but it is in the beginning of the next one
-

Is that how it is in the sub? I don't remember
-
Huh…somehow I missed that initially...weird how that bit of dialogue is only in the recap at the beginning of the next episode, but not the actual episode itself...
-
so it was in the recap (I pretty much always skip the recaps)? So they did record something but I guess just forgot to add it into the actual ep during production … oops somebody in technical messed up!
*also, was that ep the first time we've ever heard the dub call him Dracule? When he was first introduced it was always "Hawkeye" or "Hawkeye Mihawk" and I can't recall them saying Dracule in the subsequent times he showed up either.

Yes, this is the first time "Dracule" is mentioned in the dub.
-
Really? That's the biggest screw up I've heard yet. They forgot a whole line. Someone should let Funi know about that one.
-
I'm pretty sure it'll catch someone's eye and if not, we need to let FUNi know somehow so they can fix it.

You can do that, but they never really fix these things unless it's something they could get sued for.
-
Yeah if they did fix them, Smoker wouldn't keep looking like a huge uninformed Marine when Daz Bones shows back up in Impel Down ("You lied Smoker! You said Zoro killed him!!!")
-

Maybe its a funimatiin ploy to force us to watch the recaps, by dropping lines "accidentally "
-
Gosh. I've been pronouncing it Ah-Kai-nu this whole time. Also, whoever said it was wrong– "Dracule" is used during the retrospective episode by the narrator.
-
Can't believe Funimation is up to Marineford! I had just started dating my eventual wife a few months after Season 1 Voyage 1 was released. 9ish years and 2 kids later my whole family is watching Impel Down with me. But man is it hard, it's my 1 year old that keeps us from marathoning anything. I'm on the 4th episode of Impel Down with 2 or 3 full separate voyages just unopened and waiting.
-
That's pretty cool. Watching cartoons with your kids and actually liking the cartoons you're watching.
-
Yea, Funimation screwed up when it comes to Hawkeye's line being removed from the episode, yet being in the preview. I've never seen a screw up like that before.
I forgot all about the screw up of Smoker saying Zoro killed Mr. 1. That was another big one.
-
Do your kids ever get scared or bothered by the plot? One piece can get pretty dark.
-
Do you guys think there will be anything One Piece related at the anime expo
-
The only thing on the schedule is a screening of One Piece Film: Strong World.
I'm hoping for a OP Film: Gold acquisition. Anything else is very disappointing.

WOW. it would be cool to see Strong World at the theeter
-
Weird translation flaw: people refer to the gate outside of the prison as the gateS of justice. But there's only one gate of justice outside of the prison.
As I was typing this, I heard Magellan say it singular. So I guess this is another small Joel or script writer inconsistency.

Both those things happened during the Enies Lobby arc. Funny how you only choose to complain about this now…
EDIT: Also, now that I think about it, Mike McFarland directed most of Impel Down; from the begining of s7v5 all the way up through the episode Bon Clay sacrificed himself. So how does this "inconsistency" have anything to do with Joel?
-

The "Ah-Kai-Nu" pronunciation really bugged me TBH. Glad to hear they supposedly fixed it.
Another mispronunciation Funimation has made is "Enies." The way they say it rhymes with "pennies," but it's supposed to be pronounced "Eh-Nee-Ess."
-
I've always pronounced it Anus Lobby :-/
-
@Mikey:

yeah, that one really shouldn't have been so hard. Red Dog … Aka-inu
-
tis this an english dub so japanese Pronunciation does not have to be perfect.
-
^While I do agree that people can get a bit too caught up on the topic of pronunciation, the problem in the case of Akainu is the Ah-Kai-Nu pronunciation ignores the origin of the name. The three admirals’ epithets are derived from the Momotaro Legend, where three animals accompanied Momotaro on his journey; the monkey (zaru), the the pheasant (kiji) and the dog (inu). And all three admirals have a corresponding color scheme; yellow (ki), blue (ao), and red (aka). So, in the case of Sakazuki, he is the “Red-Dog”; the “Aka-Inu”. In fact, that should probably be how they spell his name; would have probably avoided confusion doing things that way (or, you know, actually translate them like they do the other epithets).
-
During Enies Lobby, it was called the "Gates of Justice". During Impel Down and Marineford, it started switching between that and "Gate of Justice".
No opinion on which is better, but I'd like them to remain consistent about it.
-
^I watched a couple Enies Lobby episodes earlier and I definately heard both “gates” and “gate” being thrown around
-
I know the pronunciation of Japanese words don't have to be perfect in an English dub, it's just that they've gone way out of their way in the past to emulate Japanese pronunciations before, like "Masira." That was a shocker back in the day. Seeing them make inconsistencies now just sorta gives me the impression that their quality control isn't what it used to be. At least "Akainu" is fixed, but if they could pronounce "Baratie" right then they should have been able to pronounce "Enies" the correct way.
This is just me nit-picking, though.
-

The argument could be made that there are 3 Gates, one in front of each of the main buildings (Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marineford) and together they make the "Gates" Of Justice, but any one of them individual is just a "Gate" of Justice.
-
Apparently Funi are teasing an announcement. One Piece time skip incoming?
-
Where are they teasing it?
I have a strong feeling it might be Film Gold.
-
I don't know the source of it, but it's a point of discussion on Kanzenshuu forums as people feel it may be Dragonball Super.

Can you link us to the forum and i doubt its Super since Chris Sabat said recently they still dont have the license
-
Can someone please link to me when FUNi said they'd have big announcements?
