11:00, really? Where is this info coming from? Dang, that's late. I'm usually out of the house by then.
OFFICIAL 4Kids Dub Discussion

Yeah My cable box also say 11:00 am.The last shows that was on at that time haven't been seen ever since was Kirby and Ultimate muscle. One Piece is like deadmeat in that timeslot for ratings, Are they after show rating for network or the whole Saturday. Did you notice that the time is also next to Shaman King?
-
I dont think they wanna get rid of it by putting it againsist Yu-gi-oh, theyve put other shows on that time slot before. Look at Kirby. That was on that time slot and that did just fine.

OH NOOOOO….FOR YEARS TO COME ONE PIECE WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS A BAD ANIME DUB ANd SHOW AND ITS ALL BECAUSE OF 4KIDS TV!!!!OMG....
Executive:Moo! who told you to make your own persona? (hits Moo on the head)
(copied from the part where they straw hats first get their flag, Usopp makes his own and Zoro and Luffy hit him)

Yeah, before OP came out on Foxbox or 4kidsTV or whatever the hell they call it, I told all friends it was the best thing to come along since Dragonball and now, because of 4kids, all I get is laughed at. I know the shame of walking down the street and folks saying "Hey, there goes that fag who watches kiddy anime! Lets kick his ass!" Thank you 4kids for ruining great anime…...you cocksuckers.

4K!ds– One Piece marketing section (inside the building):
–BOARD MEETING--
ROZ NOWICKI: Someone out there has got to like One Piece. Someone has to…but who??
NORMAN GROSSFELD: We've targeted the kids and they don't seem to like/watch it. Maybe we should try older kids, y'know maybe 8 or 9 year olds.
AL KAHN: By the time we get done localizing the series, the kids don't even know its from Japan. The term anime means nothing to kids. (ACTUAL QUOTE, seriously)
NORMAN: Let's get my son, Monty(a 9-year old), to see what we should do.
(MONTY enters)MONTY: What do you want, dumba##??
NORMAN: (ignores the language) We were gonna ask you some questions.
Sit down, son.NORMAN: What is the best time for the toon-show One Piece??
MONTY: What are you talking about?? It's called anime, dad.
AL: (Ignores the word anime) What could we do with this show to make the kiddies watch it??
MONTY: Well, you butcher the animation enough. Hmm, let's see, maybe you could let in a little blood now and then.
AL: If the kids see blood, they might learn that they can bleed. We can't do that.
How about we put it on MIGUZI on the Cartoon Network.MONTY: Try TOONAMI instead, MIGUZI is stupid.
ROZ: I think he might have something there. (scratches chin)
AL: But they have that other show on there, it allows killing, we can't associate with them.
NORMAN: It's decided. We'll put it on TOONAMI. We have a character on ONE PIECE named Too-Nami anyway. It's publicity!!
ROZ: It's Nami. <_<
NORMAN: Right, isn't that what I said??
MONTY: I think that...
NORMAN: Shut up, boy. Go play your Grand theft auto thing, Darn-it.
(looks over at ROZ and AL) That game teaches kids how to drive.(MONTY leaves)
NEXT DAY:
WORD REACHES 4K!ds THAT THE ANIME SERIES, NARUTO, HAS JUST
BEEN ANNOUNCED TO AIR ON TOONAMI ALONGSIDE ONE PIECE.ROZ: Bad news, guys. Naruto has been bought.
AL: Why didn't we get to that first. We could have had fun localizin' it. YOU'RE FIRED!!
ROZ: I never liked this darn company anyway. I hate what you do to anime.
NORMAN: Don't forget, we are gonna be on that Too-Nami alongside it.
AL: Oh yeah!! Roz, you're re-hired. Now how can we make this show as famous as Yugi-whoa?
NORMAN: We can air it on two networks. That way, kids will like it twice.
ROZ: That makes no sense.
AL: Well, we have perfect voices for the cast, hand picked'em myself. So we don't need to work on that.
NORMAN: Maybe we could advertise them two characters, the one with the cigarette, and the one with the three swords.
ROZ: Sanji and Zoro.
AL: I changed that. It's zolar, or something like that.
ROZ: It's Zoro...Roronoa Zoro.
NORMAN: How many fingers do we have altogether??
ROZ: 30.
NORMAN: Divide that by how many people we are and add one. 11 0'clock is when we will air One Piece on FOXBOX.
AL: BRILLIANT!! It'll air on 4K!ds TV at 11:00 from now on.
ROZ: Won't that compete with Yu-Gi-Oh! on WB.
NORMAN: That's a good thing. That way, the kids can like them both equally.
ROZ: That makes no sense. (whispers) One day I'll....
AL: End of discussion. Good work, men. Tomorrow, we discuss acquiring our next children's show from Japan, Death Note.
ROZ: That's not been animated yet.
AL: I'll be ready when it is. Ha ha ha ha(evil laugh).

I have to agree. Thanks to 4kids any respect for anime has been flushed down the toilet. I mean really how can anyone take any anime seriously when it's THAT butchered?
Thank goodness that no one around here knows about my love for anime and that I mostly talk about it with those anime friends I have.

how many episodes do 4kids translated yet ?
[snapback]12589[/snapback]**4Kids have ruined around 26 episodes. <_< They only have the first 52, I believe.
Of course we expect them to skip a portion of the Arlong Arc. So they may only air like 47 episodes or something like that.I agree with you Aethos, and I hate it when people like omae trick themselves into liking the dub, telling themselves that they like One Piece no matter how butchered it is. It is sad when people do this. :( They say that "One Piece should be edited so that young kids can watch it" Yeah, young kids can watch it, but WE can't. Young kids can even hate the voices.
Anyone who truly, truly likes Usopp and Sanji's dub voice is just a "fake" fan. If we continually complain to VIZ and 4K!ds it will eventually do something. :) Just look at FUNimation. They weren't all that good, and now they are. And 4K!ds have at least started to release uncut Dvds, although they take WAY too long to come out.
We have the right to voice our opinion because we LOVE One Piece.
People like omae just can't handle the dub so they just choose to accept it. Sad.
[snapback]12608[/snapback]I read something somewhere though. Yeah FUNimation was horrible to start, but they actually CARED what people thought about them and that's why they changed. 4Kids doesn't give a rat's ass what you think and will do what they will do. I mean…how many times have they been yelled to this date? Has ANYTHING changed?_

Well you cant really say that the dub of One Piece is driving people away, because remember 4Kids dubs other shows poorly aswell and most of them do fine, just look at Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon, yea 4Kids did butcher them, but they became phenomenons anyways…..

[snapback]12608[/snapback]**While I admit that Ussop's voice isn't the most dramatic sounding it's still good for Ussop. If only they'd put a little emotion into it you know? Then it'd be perfect.
Sanji's is just crap though. I mean I'd rather Sanji sound like Pepe LePew than some nasal congested Italian.
Funny thing is though I've never seen these uncut DVD's everyone speaks of. I mean seriously I'd be all over them if they existed yet everywhere I go to buy anime they don't exist. -_-
Oh yeah and Luffy's voice needs changed too. It's just not Luffy. Sure he's supposed to be high pitched but… that voice is just the wrong way to go about it.
Still I highly agree with what you say Nami. I very highly agree with what you say._

[snapback]12191[/snapback]Well someone's been watching too much Deadwood…:D
Anyway, I agree with the point you're trying to make. The image of One Piece will be ruined while Naruto will get a better dub and will most likely become the next DragonBall Z. All we need now is Tokyo Mew Mew coming on Toonami before that (the next Sailor Moon) and we'd be back in the old days of Toonami.

Oh and the Jynx episode because there was talk that Jynx was racist or something.
And well the Porygon episode for OBVIOUS reasons.
But really I mean in the episodes they do show there's no obvious editing.

[snapback]12687[/snapback]No because I have to do all my anime shopping at FYE :( Heck they don't even have the Case Closed DVD's or .hack//SIGN DVD's! Most of the stuff here is either Full Metal Panic, RoboTech, DBZ, the cut Yugioh, YuYu Hakusho, InuYasha, and well a few others that I've never heard of but that's about it.

I have to disagree, I can imagine him sounding MUCH better than that. I think they tried a little TOO HARD to make him sound like a complete dips***. I just can't even fathom how anyone finds it acceptable. :huh: I guess it's more difficult for those of us who really love his character to such a degree.

Actually, I think the voice used in that 'Captain Hampton' video was just perfect for Usopp, even with the funny accent. xD At the least the 4kids VA should stop making Usopp's voice quiver and go all high pitched and squeaky. Actually the voice is fine, he just needs to:
- Speak normal without the 'goofy' accent
- Talk faster. Kappei could talk circles around the guy! Like remember in the first ep of the XMas/Mr.4 battle (ep 113?) Usopp was fast-talking about how great he was… xD
- Learn to say CAPTAAAAAAAAAAAIN USOPP! correctly. :P
As for Sanji.... to me he just sounds different. O__O I don't like the way he talks to Nami, but (to me) he still sounds SEXY. ^^; is killed by Sanji fans I don't know... I suppose that's the voice I always Imagined him having before I actually heard it. When I heard the Jap. VA for the first time, I remember thinking Sanji sounded funny (too high pitched). I wish they'd lose the lame NY accent though... >__>

I suppose that's the voice I always Imagined him having before I actually heard it. When I heard the Jap. VA for the first time, I remember thinking Sanji sounded funny (too high pitched). I wish they'd lose the lame NY accent though... >__>
[snapback]12803[/snapback]**He might sound DECENT if he just used his normal voice instead of trying to make him all deep with that crappy accent. He just sounds like he has a cold. Plus faking a voice like that, he can't act, screaming wise. Heh, then again that could just be Moo's IMPRESSIVE acting skills though. :D
-
He could have a cold. Voice actors don't get paid much so he might be living as a bum in the streets or something.

Yeah especially ones that dub animes. I think it was Sabat or someone at FUNimation in an interview who talked about the difference between a regular cartoon VA and a dubbed anime VA and how they're made, and I think he metion something about a salary for a dub is low.
-
Hell, I can't wait to see the shitty ways it will be edited in the Arlong arc. That is, if 4kids OP dub lasts that long. Here's some predictions (WARNING: SPOLIERS!)
When Arlong pulls his teeth out to throw at Luffy, he comments on how "Those false teeth sure come in handy!"
When Nami begins stabbing her arm with a knife and saying Arlong, The knife is edited into a rubber dog bone chew toy and instead of the trademark anime stab sound, it is given a squeak. The blood becomes Nami's "Leftover bannana pudding she was saving in the toy."
When Arlong bites Luffy before Luffy beats him with the Gomu Gomu no Axe, the blood gets edited out and Luffy begins laughing while saying 'Stop it! That tickles!" before smashing Arlong through the building.

You know something, I am wondering why no one brought this up.
"I bet 5 berri on Frenchy"
Very brilliant 4kids. You try to make a joke. But theres a problem…
There is no France in the OP world! Get it through your skulls! Whats 4kids email adress again?
[snapback]12785[/snapback]nods There also isn't an Ireland (Patty), a Mexico (his chef friend with the glasses…forgot his name ^^;) or a New York, U.S.A. (Zeff and Sanji) either. But their supposed country of origin don't really bother me. It's the voices T_T It's always the voices…

Well we can assume that accents would exist in OP, simialer to ours.
It would suck ass if every character had the same accent.
But 4kids is just doing them to make it goofy, or something….Anyway regardless of my defense of accents, 4kids' accents suck ass.

[snapback]13432[/snapback]**What would you will happen if 4-kids rech the Arabasta arc,image the bad accents that Vivi and the rest of people of Arabasta is going to have,even think about Robin accent too.Brain dies of thinking about that
-
Seeing how 4Kids is doing (or done) all of the SK episodes, they'll probably even get past Arabasta and into the 100's unless the popularity drops and they end up losing income.
Oh, don't forget Mihawk's french accent :o Robin's going to have an Ishizu voice, probably..
What's sad is that after watching all the dubs thus far, you pretty much get used to all of the voices and any surprises -_-
EDIT: Are you all ready for "Pearl Jam"? ._.

EDIT: Are you all ready for "Pearl Jam"? ._.
NO. :P
I don't know if I'll be able to watch it or not anyway, I have to wake up 6:30am (wth am I still doing up?) for work until 1:40pm -
Uch, Pearl Jam? Yuck. gag
If they're trying to aim this at kids, who's going to get that pun?Gah. I woke up at 8:30, and it's not on until 11! Dammit! shakes fist

[snapback]13567[/snapback]I think I can see her with that. Althought they might just give that voice to Vivi and give Robin a cowgirl accent.
Now that I'm thinking about edits and stuff, I think I know how they'll edit the scene where Nami stabs her arm in Arlong park. She's going to claw at it a bit and pick up the knife (we won't see the tip of it, just the handle) and then they'll fasforward it to the scene where Luffy grabs it and take it out of her hand. And there you have it, a nice non-violent scene and if you just had Luffy saying something about not playing with sharp blades you have a masterpiece. :DI'm as ready as ever for Pearl Jam. One Piece dub actually keeps me from thinking too much about Water 7 arc and its horrible cliffhangners. That and I can get a good laugh out of all this.

Why is it that when FUNimation gives a character an accent ( Chu, Jin, Inspector Meguire,Cell, Koenma, Botan) it somehow fits them, but when 4Kids do, it makes us hate them more and more? I can't even imagine Cell,Koenma and Botan without their dub British accents, can you? :blink:
