@Greg:
I heard no quote in there from Oda.
It sounds more like Oda heard them, liked them and gave his blessing. Not, "OMFG these are so much better than 4Kids hire these people!"
HAHAHAAH That's funny… I don't think anyone is saying THAT!.. heh I had this thought of him in my mind sitting and drawing One Piece then he hears the new voices and gets up and goes "OMFG these are so much better than 4Kids!"
It's just nice to know that Oda approved even if all he did was hear them then go "yeah whatever" (which is probably what happened) and it's nice to know Toei's approving every script. It just keeps us a little more secure is all.... and AHA he did say Toei wrong, it's just like "Toy" right?
As for what you said about the VAs, I think… well Luffy, Zoro, and Nami sound pretty close to their 4Kids VAs, but... I can't really judge based on that clip. I guess we'll have to said and see.
@Gerchak:
Okay, you can help me figure out what to put in there, then
I think you got it all… I updated the stuff on my site as well. Just maybe add in bold not to ask for previews or something. People keep asking for the English version of Hikari E and it's like "Uh yeah.. don't you think we'd link to it if we had it?"
