Actually, I got a question…when the new dub starts, does anyone think the sales of the manga will improve? I'm not saying the sales are bad, I'm just asking if the sales will pick up any...
Yes

:wassat:Are you calling me stupid? I didn't mean for it to be a stupid question.
If you are, it's okay, I'm just wondering.
He wrote 16 capitons because you have to write 16 letters/numbers/characters to make a post.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid me!! I thought he was saying that I was getting 16 "idiot points" or something
whats a capiton?

Okay, I understand it now. What Lobster Pot Sticker was saying (Mmmmm,pot stickers) was that you need to have at least 16 letters on a post.
Is there any sneak peek clips aorund? All right, I see there are none…
I hope the new dub airs this month, Funimation should have alot of episodes done right now.

Last month they said six episodes were complete. I'm sure by now that number's gone up at least a little.

Actually, 16 Captions, was a spoof off of Capitan Obvious. As in 16 Capitans. As in Capitan Obvious. As in the manga sales will completley rizzle. Clearly a homage to the old internet phraze of fizzle and dizzle.
Yeah, but until NOVEMBER? That's two friggin' months. It would make sense for them to air it on the 29th, with all their other season premiers.
But we don't really know how much is finished. I would say November at the earliest.

…shit....really?...huh...wow...shit...looks like I do deserve those idiot points after all.
Well, considering Caitlin Glass can be reached why not just ask her on her LJ or something?
Ahh I finished watching the rest of the Jaya arc. Classic stuff. No Skypiea for me though, I'm re-watching choice selections of Water-7/Enies Lobby right now. Good stuff.
The only existance of One Piece on Funimation's website is on their piss poor forums. I wonder if they want to make any money off of One Piece to begin with…

Well they'd better, if they want "One Piece" of our money.
I hope they realize that if they support the fanbase, the fanbase will support them.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not surprised that the site's not up yet.
I know how much of a bitch it is just to get a new section of a website onto live, so I can see why an entire site is going to take a while. Especially one that must be filled with Flash - like how Funi usually does it.

Ugh. What's the point of flash? I find it annoying… It freezes up my netscape 7.1, and I always have to switch to my "Netscape Brower" to view it. Which is lame, because Netscape 7.1 has a much better format. It works on AOL, and Internet Explorer, but Aol usually sucks when it comes to searching, and nobody likes Internet Explorer.
This whole thing is making me wonder...
Does Funimation even care?
(I blame Naruto Uzamaki for this tragedy)
Well I was Just on toonami's schedule page and all they showed was the episode "Into The Mist" Usually they show two weeks worth of episodes. So maybe something is happening on the 23.
.o They care.
Websites take time though. There's a lot of stuff involved with making one, and a lot of people like editors, and publishers, and content developers, and then … hell, it just takes a while.
Hush, puppy.
P.S.
Who's Uzamaki?
NOVEMBER?
Its bad enough the dub runs through sept. but what making not air in Oct?:getlost:
goes to watch One Piece DVD

Okay, I'm sorry for getting off topic, but I swear that I just noticed this …
Does the Sanji in your avatar have boobs?

The CN scehdual only goes two weeks ahead. We won't be seeing the new dub's first episode title until 12am Saturday.

….looks.................OH.MY.GOD. anywho. poor one piece. delayed, or, something.
Ok heres the explanation..
PirateNeko did a chibi of me,that I requested, She based the chibi on the avatar I had before which was this
anyways she drew me doing the exact movement. and so I got it resized as a avi and I finally was able to add credit to my sig for the avatar

Oooh … well, that makes sense ...
SO HOW ABOUT THEM FUNI VA VIDEO CLIPS, EH?

I wish we had some video clips….
Though, if you sneak into Funi's studio......

Eeh … yeah, I meant the clips they have of them voicing their characters at cons. They're all still on YouTube last I saw.
It's probably not too much consolation, but FUNi's always been pretty slow about releasing its sites – not saying that the web guys are doing a bad job or anything, but usually the sites don't show up (or at least with anything besides a placeholder) until juuuust about the same time as the shows themselves.
This dub waiting is killing me :sad:
It is killing me too…. but that is mainly because technically as time passes we are getting closer to a demise. So in that aspect waiting for time to pass to an event is anticipating gett.... I'll just get off the joke so I don't "kill" the atmosphere.
Who came up with this November airdate bullshit?
I'm placing all my bets on the dub airing the 29th. No way CN would preempt it for THAT long.

and for what anyway? XD
No way CN would preempt it for THAT long.
Are we thinking of the same CN? If so, sure they will. They could prolong it till 2008 if they wished.

I guess technically they could, but there's no reason they'd want that. CN picked up the next season of OP, obviously believing it to be of some profit to them. Since we know for sure the last 4kids episode airs on the 22nd, there's no real reason for them to delay the new dub.
I too am placing all my bets on the 29th. Either way we'll know for sure this Saturday. Any chance we can go the next 5 days without irrational delay speculations and a million "omg CN is evil and Naruto is ruining One Piece!"
xD LMFAO Man that's soo freakin' funny that you said Naruto is ruining One Piece XD Everyone knows 4KIDS is to blame for that, as much as blaming Naruto would probably make me feel better somehow XD LOL
I'll be crossing my fingers along with you guys for this Saturday and finding out if they'll be airing it. it makes since after all that's when Funi picked up the series and all, my god.. I hope they dont' start it over and make us wait through that x_x;; thinks happy thoughts to vanquish that from her mind….
Who came up with this November airdate bullshit?
I think i'm to blame for that one… I was thinking November at the earliest and some others may have misread...
Whats the firsrt anime that made Funimation most popular? And I also wonder, did CN, and other companies profited by this anime that Funimation licensed? Obviously they did, because not only is they're now toys, uncut dvds, and also even cards, but also stuff like vid games (do you know how many vid games there are for that show). And if I'm right, that will happen the same w/ OP, so they should quickly do it).

Well, see, there's a difference here. DBZ was already mad popular by the time it was done internally by Funimation. One Piece is nowhere near that popular in America.

Yeah, but thinking logically, there's no marathons of any type schedueled for the rest of September, it's been pretty safe to assume that the new dub will air on the 29th.
Now watch a week after the premiere, we get another Naruto marathon.
The CN scehdual only goes two weeks ahead. We won't be seeing the new dub's first episode title until 12am Saturday.
I was just pointing out that they only had one rainbow mist title, instead of two. Usually when they post it, they do two weeks in advance like you said, but the,y only showed this saturday.
So not many people have spoken about the dub episode titles. I'm sure they won't be as long and drawn-out as the original Japanese titles exactly, but d'you think they'll be closer than the ones we used to have?
Definitely.
While YYH and DBZ's titles weren't always exact, they're closer than 4kids' titles.
Well, see, there's a difference here. DBZ was already mad popular by the time it was done internally by Funimation. One Piece is nowhere near that popular in America.
WRONG. DBZ had a cult following but actually wasn't popular until Funi picked it up and it started airing on toonami. Just because it had school yard-buzz doesnt mean it had ratings. Like I said, SM was always way more popular back before it was on cable. DBZ was taken off the air so many times, and the whole "skipping straight to z' thing happened partially because it was unpopular.
Justin Cook mentions in that OP interview that the Japanese trust Funi because "they're the guys who made Dragonball popular in America." That's gotta be a big part of why Toei went to them with One Piece in the first place. I kinda get the feeling Funi didnt ask to take over OP from their already hectic level of licenses. I think Toei snatched it away from 4kids and said "you guys! Do with this what you did with Dragonball!" And Funi, as well as most anime critics and industry insiders LIKE one piece. They enjoy the series and realize it's the best series out of the popular shonen series and if handled right could rival Bleach and Naruto. Not to mention they know OP atleast want uncut dvds. Maybe OP won't be the next db, but handled right it could atleast be their next Yuyu Hakusho. Regardless of how many new fans the dub does or doesnt create. OP is a good enough series that if it's on tv with minimal edits and a good dub, people will watch it.
@dirtmonkeyAL:
Definitely.

Dragon Ball Z's episode titles are not anywhere near close to the original episode titles. Maybe Dragon Ball, and maybe Dragon Ball GT. But the Dragon Ball Z episode titles are usually complete rewrites. (Very similiar to the dub script in fact…)
I just checked CN's schedual it says
September 15 10:00 Into the mist TV-Y7
Semtember 22 10:00 Great escape 2 TV-Y7
Ya, Im placing my bets on the Funi dub airing the 29, providing that CN doesnt put another marathon on toonami.

Me too…
I still hope they keep the titles somewhat the same, just like Naruto.
Weird that the site lists it as "Great Escape 2" even though the actual episode still only lists it as "Great Escape". XD
But I like long drawn out titles…
Weird that the site lists it as "Great Escape 2" even though the actual episode still only lists it as "Great Escape". XD
When I first saw the title, I thought it was an actual episode.
Weird that the site lists it as "Great Escape 2" even though the actual episode still only lists it as "Great Escape". XD
Haha, that's because 4kids named another episode "The Great Escape" (4kids ep 77), so it's called 2 on CN for distinction purposes.
I expect the new episode titles to be similar to Naruto's - still kinda lengthy, pretty good translations of the originals.
