I wonder if the Hulu deal has anything to do with Funi not licensing Dressrosa yet. I'd rather have weekly dub episodes than the current schedule we're getting, especially since Punk Hazard is already in the can.

I’d love a simuldub, but their potential interest in doing that seems to have passed.

yep, our best bet is to just support the new film coming when FUNi releases it.
-
It's funny. Whenever Funimation dubs a new season of One Piece? It's always near the events of a movie coming out. Is that intentional?
-
@Nitwit Not really. Not with Season 4 and other seasons.
-
Few more days. What’s the bet for March solicitations?
-
FUNi retweeted a tweet about the new movie, in case there is any doubt they won't license it.
-
FUNi will be awash in cash once the new DBZ movie smashes anime box office records across the country, and the last few One Piece movies have all been licensed, so….
-
Yeah there is no doubt in my mind, they will Dub the newest movie for a theatrical release
-
Funimation have told me the solicitations for March should be up before the end of today. Hopefully the hiatus ends this month.
-
Episode of Sabo huh? Can't say I was expecting that…

I guess you can say the dub of Episode of Sabo will give us a sneak peak for the dub of Dressrosa. Since it's going to have the first dub appearances of Don Chin Jao, Viola, Sugar, Leo, Kyros, Rebecca, Trebol, Bartolomeo, and Diamante.

Sixteen long form English characters of
HUH!!??!

I think Funimation are releasing all the TV specials they picked up a way back, before they start releasing further episodes. Not sure how many more they have left.
-
Man. What on earth is going on with those episodes…
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
all the TV specials they picked up a way back
No idea what you’re talking about.

He's talking about that Funimation is dubbing their backlog of the tv specials right now that they got the rights for over the years.

They still got Adventure of Nebulandia (Foxy Tv Speical), Episode of East Blue, and the recent Episode of Skypiea to be release.
-
This is getting out of hand.
Releasing Episode of Sabo before Dressrosa makes no sense at all! -
This is getting out of hand.
Releasing Episode of Sabo before Dressrosa makes no sense at all!Then again, Funimation released both Heart of Gold tv special and Film Gold, when the dub release just about to start Fishman Island on the dvd release.
-
That's exciting, it'll premiere a lot of major voices, Caesar, Kinemon, Bartolomeo, Fujitora, Chinjao, Kyros
I expect Nebulandia, East Blue, and Skypiea will be next.
Hope they can also get Episode of Nami, Luffy, and Merry to complete the set -

And that same year, they only put out three voyages when in the previous year they released seven.
2016 fooled me into thinking the dub was speeding up, but alas, it only got hit with a big slowdown in the next two years. -
It seems like they just decided to go ahead and dub all of Ace's final appearances while they had Travis on hand
-
Very random, but better than no release at all I suppose. I hate the fact we are getting so far behind again, it just sucks because these time skips arcs drag on a lot so it'll take forever to get through arcs like dressrosa.
-
I am still holding onto hope we get collection sized releases instead of Voyages
-
This is getting out of hand.
Releasing Episode of Sabo before Dressrosa makes no sense at all!It makes financial sense. They know people who want a sneak peak of the dress Rosa arc will buy it.

-
Never actually got around to watching Episode of Sabo subbed. Dubbing it "early" gives it an extra selling point as faux-preview of the arc's dub, so it should be an interesting watch.
Edit: also, it's interesting that neither 3D2Y or Sabo have DVD-only versions listed; It wouldn't be the first time that Funi made a combo pack the only release.

But aren’t dubbing rights and simulcasting rights totally separate? They don’t have a backlog of dubbing rights….
-
Releasing Episode of Sabo before Punk Hazard, let alone Dressrosa….
Man this is getting ridiculous.
-
I mean, it makes no sense. But it’s kind of like that old unlimited adventure game coming out with a dub. Sneak peak of voices we won’t hear for years. I like that sort of thing, though of course I’d prefer more episodes!

it definitely would be a lot less appealing getting episode of sabo by the time FUNi finally gets to that point with their dvd releases, which would be what, by 2020 at this point?

Yeah. Honestly, I wouldn’t want a recap episode dubbed if we’ve already seen the arc. Movie eight was enough.
-
I wonder if all these characters will keep their voices for the dub and no I dont mean death. There has been cases of Voice Actors becoming part of some Union making them too expensive or outright verboten for Funimation.
-

Forgot to comment on this.
That is probably unlikely. In the special, Ace only had a few lines and they were all from Marineford. -
I mean anything is better than nothing, but Episode of Sabo is only going to make me more annoyed we don't have actual episodes. It ends on one of the big mid-climaxes of the arc.
-
It's neat that we're finally getting the specials, but at this point it's truly bizarre that they're just sitting on those Punk Hazard episodes for so long. Really hoping they bump up the Voyages to 26 episodes each from now on to get caught up a little bit.
-
Did anyone even watch this special? How rushed was it? Was it slow enough to be enjoyable? I feel like the Skypeia one was so rushed that it just felt like a collection of scenes and wasn’t really any fun, let alone cohesive.
Just flipped through the special. Man, it’ll be interesting to see this, and the full list of voices in it is great. Momo and fujitora are ones I’m also really looking forward to but forgot. OPP listed all the voices debuting. Here they are.
Caesar Clown
Bartolomeo
Cavendish
Kin’emon
Fujitora
Kyros
Rebecca
Viola
Ideo
Hajrudin
Don Chin Jao
Elizabello II
Sai
Gyats
Hack
Boo
Abdulllah
Jeet
Kelly Funk
Jean Ango
Donquixote family:Diamante
Trebol
Sugar
Gladius
Tontatta tribe:Leo
Cub

I wonder how they'll handle the tontatta accents, we'll there be a lot of elf like speaking
-
Did OPP forget momo? Or does he not get a line or two in this?
-

Momonosuke might not speak in this; I don't quite recall, but I know most of the scenes that took place on the Sunny (the fight with Giolla and stuff) weren't shown in this retelling
-
Well, at least I'll say I will purchase this when it comes out because it would be all new content in the New World Proper, and will be the debut of many characters in the English Dub, but all I can still say is, why? So much of the story is gonna be skipped, and I've been waiting so long for the Punk Hazard. They've confirmed they've been working on it, so what the hell?
-
The entire special is up subbed on Crunchyroll and FunimationNow if you want to watch it.
-
Subbed, you mean?
-
My mistake. ;>.<

I know we know they've recorded punk hazard, but do we even know if they finished or have anything pas that arc?
-
Nah. That's the only one we've ever heard of being dubbed, and Colleen said recently that she hasn't dubbed OP in a while and needs her fix. I really don't think they're past that arc.

which makes me wonder if they recorded heart of gold,3D2Y & episode of sabo all in one go back when they were recording fishman island.
-
If nothing else them dubbing these specials are giving me good excuses to finally get around to watching them. This kinda reminds me of when they dubbed Movie 8 before they had the rights to those episodes, so hopefully it has the same effect of getting me hyped for what’s yet to come.

They just have lisps and replace “r” with “w”, right?

Possible good news: My Hero Academia season 4 won't start until October, which means FUNi will not have the excuse of working on that simuldub instead of One Piece.
