Its better off that you dont know. It was a very bad taste joke.
-
Huh, wasn't expecting to see the eyecatches cut, though I guess it's in the name of binging quicker. But they were always just a few seconds long anyway…
WHAT THEY DID!?!?! I know technically theyre so short but they're so charming and I feel like they're part of the one piece experience. Not to mention that cutting them could create some pacing problems and stuff. Like in dramatic scenes the ost keeps playing or starts within the eye catcher, theres clearly intended to be at least a slight pause.
-
There needs to be some perks to actually buying the DVDs you know lol. But I agree anyway.
-
I'm shocked it took someone this long to realize Bob Dead is Roman Mack.

I think its time I explained who this Roman Mack is.
Roman Mack is a sad sack who goes around whining and ranting about how One Piece is such a failure and that we are all deluded that its ever going to succeed.
I sympathized at first but he goes around every website ranting about the same thing always. He even tries to return here every few months despite being banned like Five Times already.
The good part is that epic awesome user called Demon Rin always doesnt take any of his bullshit and tells him like it is.

I already figure it was him yesterday. From the way, he was talking and stuff.

Five times? Try twenty.

I was hoping I was wrong. Despite what I said I do share your desire to see One Piece be a household name. I think No 3 in Netflix is already awesome. And I think it will climb from here onward.

wow, good to know y'all think I'm that weird lol

Thanks for the reports, everyone. As soon as you suspect the Mack is back, report, report, report.
-
Oh my god that was so amazing though. Once y'all called him out he had like a super villain monologue.

I would have but I wasnt sure! I genuinely thought he was someone else.

Nothing personal, you two were just online talking at the same time multiple times and I reloaded my phone to a huge conversation, which doesn’t usually happen since I keep this tab open on my phone.

Unless you are also him, in which case, I’ve got you!

I was literally gonna make a joke on it when I saw the first post of his in the thread and just decided nahh
Looks like I totally missed the callout and fallout this time!

I suspected you might have been one of their sock puppet accounts since both accounts joined in the same week and have only posted in this thread.

Still could be! We can’t know.

Randomly watched a bit of episode 59 on netflix and this cropping is pretty bad, literally the first frame of Luffy in the episode and his face is cut off. I actually was excited by the dub being on netflix so I didn't have to go out of my way to pull my dvd's out to watch the show, but honestly this is a terrible way to watch it.
-
Honestly I am fine with the cropping. We have to remember that this is a mainstream streaming website aimed at the masses that dont already love One Piece. Its third in all of USA!
-
-
We do. They're not related. Blake's cool.
As far as you know… teeheehee (I promise I'm not tho please don't ban me lol.)

I know, how you feel man. I wanted to make a comment about him being back again. But I didn't want to make the mistake if it wasn't him.

We keep reports totally anonymous, and there's never harm in being cautious. Whether it's true or a false alarm, we'll handle it.
-
Why does that poster keep coming back? I thought he gave up on one oiece in the us but they still keep coming back here. Anyway i hope rhe dub is popular on netflix to help faciltate the dubbing of the old movies.
-
Wait, did you delete all his posts or what? Aw man…
-
Ahh I see now. Well that's good to know and you know what now that you mentioned it I actually do remember him from when I first joined…., that's really disturbing to continuous come back to a site to troll especially if you've been banned numerous of times.... again quite disturbing.
-
And he says he cares about one piece in the us. The show is doing fine in america and it will onky get better since streaming is the future and people love to binge watch.

Weirdly the endings have borders instead of cropping.
-
They cut the eye-catchers? That's a shame, considering how they change and evolve. And during some dramatic episodes, the episode music itself begins during the returning eye-catcher.
-
Super excited for more people to get into OP. Hopefully it’ll increase the sales and encourage a speed-up and simuldub.

Again, assuming quarintine ever ends…

I’ve been on a tour there before. They’d need a way bigger building to accommodate everyone while abiding by the six foot distancing. Most of the building is made up of cubicles. Not sure when they’ll go back to work, but I think it’s pretty feasible to only bring in the necessary people and keep the others working from home. Also, there’s a wall between the voice actors and the director/engineer, so they’d just have to wipe down the booth after every recording. What’s tough in that is that the director and engineer stand right next to each other and the recording booths aren’t big enough for them to be six feet apart.
-
I don't know if you guys noticed, but a lot of people are giving bad reviews for Stampede on amazon, because the digital version doesn't have a sub option. They bought it without knowing that even though it says English Audio on it.
Its weird how there is no Japanese audio available. People need to buy the Blu-ray/dvd in order to watch it in sub.
-
People who have their own offices would be okay. So would the recording booth if they wipe it down thoroughly. The only issue I can think of that stops them is the director and engineer being close.
But TX cases are rising because our governor is Republican and preferred opening the country to saving lives. So we’re getting smacked right now with a rise of cases. The odds of Funimation going back to work aren’t great unless they can take good precautions; I wouldn’t expect them to go back to work until Q4 2020 or Q1 2021. My hope is that they don’t be so stingy and release at least PH before then.

Sticks, but I hope some of them watched the dub anyways and enjoyed it more than they thought they would. Maybe we got a few converts out of that.

Yeah more people getting into the dub is always a good thing. Most of these people don't know that a dub version of OP exists haha.
I'm liking that approach Funimation/Toei are taking since license renewal. It seems they are promoting the dub version a lot these days. In the past we barely see the dub getting promoted unless there is new set coming.

Theres one big thing your forgetting, you can't easily clean a microphone, and this would still put the production to a crawl

I really wonder what the wide array of people who hate dub luffy want him to sound like. Like genuinely curious
-
I've just noticed on Funimation translation of episode 1: When Luffy points at Alvida the translation is "Who's this fat old hag?" but on a fansub it says "Who's this big chunky lady?"
Which is the correct translation and why are they different?

Not really. Switch microphone covers, microphone heads, or entire microphones. And having a cleaning person on staff who could do a good 15-minute clean of the studio between sessions wouldn’t slow it to a crawl.
And people who hate Colleen generally don’t like the rasp in Luffy’s voice. But even if the voices sounded nearly the same as the Japanese voice, these people still probably wouldn’t be happy.

You cant expect every single translator to come up with the same translation on their own. Both are correct.

Most people don't even give the dub a chance and are just being biased and blindly hate all dubs… rather than focusing on acting and delivery and how it fits the character they focus on tone and how much it sounds like the Japanese VAs. If it doesn't sound like the Japanese VA it's a automatically dismissed as suck or my favorite it lacks emotion :getlost:. I can see why Colleen's raspy delivery would be off putting but it fits luffys character so well.
-
The one thing I will say is that the acting under Joel was really lacking and an anime like One Piece which relies heavily on its voice acting has no place for mediocre voice acting.

The thing is… thats just how you do a boy voice, to english speakers at least. Someone who sounded the exact same but spoke english wouldnt sound right, or really male at all

I wouldn't call it "really lacking". His work just *generally is not as good as mikes. He has still directed a lot of great scenes.

The thing is Colleen was cast specifically to match tanaka. What people don't understand is that raspiness is just how we are accostumed to boy voices. If someone literally sounded exactly like if Tanaka were fluent in english people would say he sounds too girly.

It's like I said most just pay Attention to the sound of the voices rather than the actual acting but oh well can't please everyone I hope with OP now on Netflix it'll introduce the dub to a wider audience and it'll gain more popularity here.
-
Kind of weird your idea that all boy voices are raspy. That isn’t true at all. But I agree that Tanaka sounds like a woman and English fans would end up thowing another fit if it was matched. There’s no winning anti-dub people; they shut it down without even considering acting talent.

My idea? I've never heard anyone do a boy voice that wasnt like gruff or raspy, with a few exceptions when it comes to cute mascot characters like chopper, but they don't really sound male anyways. If you have any examples to contradict this I am legit curious
-
First that came to mind was Laura Bailey's Shin-chan voice. But yeah in my experience too for dubbed stuff women tend to do a lot of raspy voices for young boys. I guess for an example on the Japanese side of that type of thing maybe Masako Nozawa's Goku would count?
