how much longer till the 4Kids episodes end their run?
Official 4kids Dub Thread Mk III (The End Has Come)
-
-
If I'm not mistaken, after Alabasta, they skipped a couple of character fillers (save Zoro's), they skipped the Zenny/Goatsex arc, and showed all of the Rainbow Mist arc. Thats where I believe it ends.
-
Crap, we've got twenty-one more episodes of this crap! Crap!
-
No Goatsechs!? Blasphemy!
-
At least they left in Rainbow Jizz.
-
I love the fan named arcs
Rainbow Jizz, Goat Sex, Apis of Shit XD -
What about that stupid one where everyone lost their memories to advertise some GBA game?
-
ocean's dream is I believe its called
-
Does Ocean's Dream have a nickname? All I've got are Ocean's Nightmare or Ocean's Wet Dream, but those are hella lame.
-
-
Meh, it only lasts like, what, 4 episodes?
-
-
Watching the last half of tonight's episode reminded me why I stopped watching the dub in the first place. I forgot about how emotionless Vivi sounded, and the half-assed puns.
-
It's amazing how the dub's been able to survive this long. Just goes to show yuh that even though it's crap, "One Piece" is still "One Piece", and there's a limit to how much you can butcher it.
-
As long as it has action, people will watch… Because alot of people are simple. XD
-
Ya, but you can't deny that "One Piece" would get a lot more viewers if the dub was more faithful to the original.
-
Well, duh.
-
I decided to watch the dub tonight. And I was reminded why I stopped watching in the first place.
Usopp's speech about Luffy stunk. And that is that. And Sanji sounds worse than I remember. And Vivi…... I'm not touching that subject.

S'kind of humorous how Usopp has the worst voice actor in the dub [unless you count Sanji], yet, in Gohn's opinion, Yamaguchi Kappei provided the best acting in the original. Usopp frequently snorted mucus when fighting or scared, screamed like a little girl, etc.

lol is that the one where the old man and his army of goats beat up the entire marine crew XD

The one good line David Moo did was that one waaaaay back at Baratie, "You wanna fight? Come and get it." I honestly thought that was a pretty well said line. I didn't really mind his voice until it got all nasally at about the end of Drum.

He also sounded pretty decent when he met up with Mr.2…
"Get out while you still can."
A pity he turns into crap right after. >_>

Yamaguchi is a bit of an overactor at times, but he can effectively portray comedy, emotion and seriousness with sincerity. Griffith is just a wall of squeaky, goofy, emotionless noise.

Sanji's dub voice makes me laugh.
-
really? it makes me cry ;_;
-
I love Sanji's dub voice. I can't listen to it without laughing. It's like Randy Newman with a sinus infection trying to talk like Meowth wtf, I can't even think of a good way to describe it. It doesn't sound human. It's so funny.

Hell, David Moo's best work as Sanji was during the Baratie arc! Remember when all the chefs were holding their weapons on him and he gave that speech about feeding the hungry without discriminating against their reputation? Moo actually portrayed Sanji's sincerity fairly well in that scene (even with the awkward voice)!:blink:
Speaking of "THEN being better than NOW," it's a goddamn shame that 4Kids screwed up the Arlong arc so badly, because Bella Hudson/Erica Schroeder (whatever the hell her name is) portrayed Luffy's determination to save Nami better than his determination to help Vivi! I LOVED the scream she let out when Luffy smashes Arlong! Speaking of which! Her delivery during the "Nami! You're my nakama!" scene was almost as good as Mayumi Tanaka's! It even made me forget about that corny "silence-breaking" eulogy that Usopp was giving before Luffy emerged from the wreckage!
"Nami! We're friends and crewmates for life!" and The March (which they actually made some damn good music for) were the only two good things about that horrible mess of an arc!:wassat:
Too bad YouTube wasn't around when the dub started, otherwise we'd have more clips from earlier episodes! I found the scene featuring Bellemere's 4Kids-ified fate, but that's about it. Speaking of which, it looked as if Arlong was pointing a sausage at her!
-
Youtube was around, just not as widely used. A lot of clips of the early episodes were made as downloadable files. I know I have some old clips from Syrup village and Baratie somewhere.
-
It reminds me, RomanGod wanted me to post up the part where the giant gallion falls from the sky….. . . ..
I clipped it out a long while ago but I'll try to find it.
Shall we make a comparison vid of those scenes, SemiJuggalo?
I did it with a smoker scene, and it went quite well. (took a bit more effort on my part, though)
-

Yamaguchi simply added vocal touches that many of the Toei characters lacked. Usopp always felt full of life and motion, even when he was just standing there like a dumbshit.
Part of it is probably Usopp himself, but Cyringohn can no longer read the manga without applying Yamaguchi's voice to Usopp. Perfection.

I'd like the point out the dub Usopp also voices Sonic now, which makes me hate 4Kids even more, and Griffith, well he'd bette rhope we're never on the same city block, and he'd better especially hope I don't have anything on me except clothes, or it'll turn into a weapon real fast. THat guy(helped) ruin 2 of my favorite series. Sonic is in the toilet(not entirely the voice cast's fault) and One Piece has a terrible reputation in the US now.
But I think Yamaguchi plays Usopp in a way that is irraplacable, and he also does L very good in Death Note.

You mean Luffy declaring Nami to be his nakama?
You have it?!:shocked:
@GearSecond: I actually blame Sega for getting 4Kids involved in the Sonic games! You wanna know what REALLY sucks about it, though? It's the fact that the original Sonic game VAs started out crappy, but they wound up getting better over time (some of them were just replaced by better VAs). Take Sonic Heroes, for instance! The acting in that game was top-notch (and that's saying PLENTY, considering how bad it used to be)!
However, Deem Bristow (the original voice for Dr. Eggman/Robotnik) dies and Sega decides to replace THE ENTIRE FRICKIN' CAST!
WHY?
Because they wanted the Sonic fans to experience the same VAs in both the Sonic X anime and the games!
I'm a huge Sonic fan and I hate the fact that the 'hog is on the verge of death, because Sega is making stupid-ass decisions that involve his character! Hell, I was so disappointed with his glitch-ridden game on the Xbox360 that I'm sad to admit that I enjoyed the less-glitchy Shadow The Hedgehog more…... and THAT'S the game that introduced the 4Kids voice-actors!
However, I'm sort of going off-topic. This is the 4Kids discussion, but I guess that I can talk about Sonic here, because he is now affiliated with them (unfortunately).
-
I actually don;t think Griffith'sSonic is that bad. At times, I wish that's the voice he'd use for Usopp, because it's just a normal voice. Rather than it being all high-pitched.

I think its bad, It just sounds too goofy for sonic, The only time I have liked griffiths voice was that one character he plays in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, It seems like he really put in alot of effort for that one and it sounded decent.
-
I more for whoever played soniucs voice in Sonic adventure 2 battle.
as for one piece… I seen all the strawhat fights already ... so I dont to see any more episodes of the dubspeaking of 4Kids....They put out 2 episode DVD's for 4.99 each and Yugi oh is one of the DVDs(winx and TMNT are the other 2).also Saw One piece Vol 7 DVD the other day...looks like the dvds are adding more episodes to them instead of 3.
-
Jason's Sonic (in a plain, unenthusiastic voice) "Shadow, what are you doing?"
Keep in mind, this is when you kill a GUN soldier during a hero mission! God, he was terrible in Shadow The Hedgehog! I find it funny that he was actually decent as Sonic in Sonic X, but he goes to shit in the games!
-
Sega is notorious for having terribly awkward voices in Sonic the Hedgehog games.
-
Off-topic: If there are any Naruto fans here, anybody besides me upset that Cartoon Network had to end the episode early due to technical difficulties?
On-topic: Decided to actually watch the dub again. Honestly I'm actually surprised, this episode was decent. I ignored Sanji's Dr. Girlfriend voice and Vivi's lack-of-emotion, and it took only that and I actually liked it, puns aside. Not too many edits as far as I can remember from when I watched this episode subbed back in what…August?
Kudos to 4Kids doing a DECENT job with this one, wondering how Nami vs. Doublefinger and Zoro vs. Mr. 1 will turn out. :ermm:
-
Which episode aired? I should update AP's channel to the right episode.. >_> And I'll also check if I wrote about it yet.
I really hate advertising this, so I'm sorry. Clips of their fights can be seen here:

Zoro vs Mr. 1 (
Nami vs Miss DF ( , , , ) -

Sanji is my favorite character… and that voice is disturbing.:blink:

I like the voicd
When I first saw Sanji I thought he was a gangster and that voice kinda makes him sound like one to me.

Well he isn't. I have NO idea what 4Kids was thinking when they decided to give him that voice.
-
Probably the same thing they were thinking when they made Mr.3 into a horrible comedian instead of an oily psycopath.
-
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Wow. Watching the conclusion to Zoro vs. Mr. 1 made milk shoot out of Gohn's nose. The part where Das Bones is falling to the ground is so hilarious; sounds like he's trying not to vomit or something. "UHHHHAAAAAHUGHAHDAHAKSHD… Nice job, Zolo."

His voice work in Sonic and the Secret Rings makes up for it.

there is a noticeable improvement in the last 4Kids episodes.

Sonic should be voiced by a woman.
That was a very serious comment.
-

I know! I saw the opening cutscene on YouTube and I was blown away by the fact that Jason sounded like he was putting effort in his performance!
