Didn't suprise me. They seemed to be trying to keep as close to the Japanese version as possible.
The All-New FUNimation Dub Discussion thread!

I thought he sounded strange when he said "Nami sounds so cute she's chewing someone's head off"
He was doing the same goofy, lovesick voice the seiyuu does for Sanji. Basically he was speaking in LOVECOOK mode. I was surprised he nailed that voice so well. But yeha, Zoro and Sanji, and especially Chopper imho have unstable sounding voices in this ep.
-
dude… we're discussing the One piece dub here, I dunno if you noticed but.. yeah.. discuss the dub not whatever you're going on about there
ugh I miss AIM, I wanna talk to someone on AIM but my mom doesn't have it >_<
-
OH SCREW IT ! Every time I get done with a page, a new one appears!
Anyways OPENING:PERFECT!
ENDING:PERFECT
PREVIEWS:PERFECT!
LUFFY: Itll take a while to get used to, he kinda sounds like a forced girl trying to sound like a boy while yelling and/or being loud.I like it though.
ZORO: Again, Itll take a while to get used to, kinda sounds like Yamcha and Piccolo, more like Piccolo….wierd. Hmm...I dont know what to say about this.
NAMI: PERFECT! This is the first and only voice that comes to my head when I hear Nami now and its only been one episode.
USOPP: PERFECT! Lines are delivered greatly and just fabulous, nothing else to say…
CHOPPER: Itll take ime to get used to, Cute, but kinda too high pitched and girly,I like it a LOT though,
ROBIN: PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT! Although she talks kinda fast.
Finally SANJI: HE sounds like what I expected…kinda he wasnt very balanced though, and he could deepen up a bit..Im still diggin it though!
MASIRA:PERFECT!
I noticed that that guy's blood was missing, are they still able to have blood on here since its still rated STUPID TV Y7? -
oh 600th post!
i also really liked Masira, they did a good job with the jokes without using that Saru thing…
I love Luffy's voice, I thought it sounded great, but then again, compared to the 4kids one, anything would -
EXCUSE THE CAPS BUT THIS EPISODE DEBUT WAS GREAT!
Opinions:
nami-Great except her screams thought I will have to get used to.
Zoro-Fine except sounds like Jigen in some emotions
Sanji-Love it!!!Both his regular and love Cook voices are Perfect!
Robin-almost exactly like both versions(JP and 4Kids)
Luffy–Uhh.. al little scratchy at some points..but good
Chopper-Sound a little like a girl.
Ussop-Same as robinother voices are great too. so are the jokes and stuff.
And Also my Captioning is coming up as Zoro. -
Well, sorry. This isn't what I've been reading for some time now.
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/csgen.html
I didn't read the whole thing, but from what I've skimmed, even if the FCC doesn't regulate cable programs today, the foundations of cable networks' regulations and limitations was founded by acts from the FCC. They also have a hand in amending the laws to keep them up to date.
I'd read it later, but I'm trying to enjoy One Piece's dub here on the West Coast.
-
OH! IM still crying! Someone give me a great big ol hug!!!
-
hugs I know how you feel ;__;
-
I love you guys… I LOVE YOU FUNIMATION!!!:cwy:
-
So someone PM me the link once u upload to a video hosting site like veoh,yt, dm,etc plz? I'm gonna spam some friend's myspace and lj pages with this episode.
-
Man, that was awesome, Gold Roger intro was awesome, i dunno why but it hyped me up to the opening then, the opening made me crack a smile of pride. And the episode itself was something I expected.
But Zoro's voice is still unsettling, it sounds like he took to many peoples of some sorts.
Usopp sounds good.
Nami is dead on.
Sanji is pretty decent in his voice change. No more Brooklyn accent.
Robin = awesome.
Luffy same as before.
Chopper is a bit pitchy.
Masira is near to what to I expected.Ending song was awesome.
Now my only fear is Franky being dubbed wrong….shudders
-
wipes tear from eye
Best revamping of a anime… i still think its a miracle what happened though.
question:is it just me or does Nami sound a little like Beauty?
-
ITT: Much love.
-
Just ended out here.
Now that was awesome. Nice voices, though Sanji I'm a little iffy on. I don't think anything wrong about his voice, except his love cook voice. He sounded like a nerd. Now Usopp's voice, I'm in love with it. I like how the tone changed throughout the episode.
I also realized I've been mispronouncing Masira's name all this time.
All in all, a great opening, good episode, nice voices, and of course: a vast improvement over the wreckage of the 4KIDS dub. I give it an A minus.
-
I loved all the Strawhat's voices! Everything about this dub I loved so far!
Also I had it on closed captioning and noticed when Usopp said Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's names. The captioning said, "Zoro".
What's with that? -
Would someone be so kind as to upload a torrent of this? Or Veoh/dailymotion…?
I came home to find my DVR "shut itself off" because it got too hot and protected itself from overheating.
Never got that message before. How perfect that I get it on debut night. I wish I had of recorded it on my other DVR.
Sux. I was really looking forward to it.

What's with that?Yeah, I noticed that when Luffy said Zoro's name when they were underwater. Maybe the people in charge of the closed captioning got the uncut script?
-
I'm about 12 minutes through, and I can honestly say that this is surpassing my expectations. Robin's voice is perfect. Chopper, Nami and Sanji are great as well. When I hear Usopp, I hear dub Kuririn. A lot. But somehow, that really suits Usopp. As for Zoro and Luffy, I feel that these two are gonna take the longest to grow on me. When I hear Sabat as Zoro, I hear a bit of Piccolo and a bit of Yamucha.
Still, this dub is great. I'm very happy with it.
-
They dont want deaf ppl to know him by the wrong name, now do they?
-
LATE TO THE PARTY, BUT THAT WAS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ON TV.
AND I AM SPEECHLESS.…
...Okay, I've calmed down a bit now. Now for my opinions. :D
Luffy This voice was awesome. Coleen made him sound very in-character, and he actually pulled some lulz from me. Great voice, and improved majorly.
Zoro This was the first episode, so I'll cut him some slack. I did enjoy the voice, and I LOVED how he was so not-amused all the time. Great voice.
Nami Wow. I couldn't have ever picked a better choice.
Usopp YES. YEEESSSSS. SONNY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Sanji He actually took me by surprise and I was like "Sanji?" then I was like "SANNNJIIIIII" This is awesome, and obviously miles ahead of Moo.
Chopper I didn't mind the squeaky-voice at all, actually. XD
Robin Amazingly well. I loved how casual she was, and how she portrayed her character. So awesome.
The opening gave me a heart-attack, the ending was beautiful, and the preview is gonna make me dream for once.
LOVED Masira. His voice was probablly one of my favorites for the whole episode. XD
In otherwords, Funimation is the true god, and they'll have to start writing that down in updated bibles because THIS is ONE PIECE.
Anyone else find the Masira Pirates hilarious? :P
-
Finished watching it a few minutes ago. Pretty much everything I wanted to say was already said! I thought it was great, and I really don't have any complaints about it. Funimation gets two thumbs up from me, if only because I only have two thumbs.
-
@Natty:
Can you tell me why mods are the only one capable of labeling someone a troll? Are we lowering ranking members retarded? Just curious.
:wassat:
No, but if you do, it is incredibly rude and presumptuous, and the last thing anybody here wants is to have a bunch of people label them as a forum criminal just for a disagreement. -
That was amazing. Funimation made me one happy OP fan tonight.
The opening and ending songs were fantastic. "Hikari E" is my favorite opening, and I have to admit I was a bit leery to see it dubbed into English. I couldn't have been more wrong - it was so well done!! "Free Will" was just gorgeous and spot on with the original.
A huge thanks to everyone at Funimation for you're hard work and dedication to bring us this dub. Y'all have done a magnificent job!

I found Chibi's torrent. Thanks Chibi! Downloading now!

"That was a lotta fun, but I don't think we should ever go back."
"Are you kidding!? It was a graveyard!"
"Who said a graveyard can't be fun? C'mon, live a little!"
"How could you possibly find that enjoyable?"…I don't think that writing was JUST making reference to the filler arc being done ;D
-
Here's what Lance Heiskell, one of the Funimation reps at the Toonzone talkback thread for tonight's episode said
Glad everyone is enjoying the new One Piece dub. I'll forward this forum thread to our production department on Monday…if they aren't reading it now.
Thanks,

If Vale wrote that line, he's a genius.
-
Well, I thought that angry Zor/lo sounded a lot like Vegeta for some reason.
Sanji was the only voice that I didn't really feel the match for. (although no blood shot from my ears when he spoke for the first time like it did with the $Kids version.)Overall the mood of this thread is best reflected with this video
(and on a totally unrelated note, I see people using the word "noone" a lot. I think that you mean to say "no one". "Noone" sounds like none with the o exteneded.)

Dangit, I wanted to post that (my girlfriend's brother watched with me and cracked up when he heard that bit)
Zoro's voice was easily the bet, IMO. Robin and Sanji were also good. Nami and Luffy were all right. Chopper'll take some getting used to. he sounded too much like a little girl to me. Usopp too will need some time, but I will say that his VA does a good panic. And that's what being Usopp's all about.
-
I too was pronouncing Masira's name wrong. I always pronounced it "Mass-she-rah" or something. I wonder how many other names I pronounce wrong, from some experiences on this forum it has been a lot. The dub will definitely be schooling me, and I'll love every minute of it.
-
Could someone type up or PM me the lyrics of the opening and ending? Thanks. ^^
-
Actual Toonami catch:
Again, this is nothing new. He's been saying that all along.

hey… they did say Grand Compass, I hate to bring it up again but ... what if they go back on their decisions for the attack names too?
also I can't find any scenes that were really shortened or cut, infact the Funi episode is over 23 minutes long, which is amazing for CN to keep it that way. I hope it stays that way. Did anyone else notice anything?
OH OH OH OH there was blood removed I guess... not a HUGE deal, but still nothing i see was shortened
-

I know, funny thing tho…even tho Robin was making the name quite obvious, I didn't even notice it. I read a post on YouTube and it made me realize. I really don't get it...cause the title is "Caught Log"...not "Caught Compass".
-
I'm weeping with joy! I'm bloody weeping with joy!
I mean hell, if this had been how One Piece was made from the start it would've sky rocketed past Naruto in popularity.
I actually have something to look forward to on Saturdays now…
Now I honestly wish I could go meet a kid whould tuned in expecting Dub Piece and got Fun Piece instead...
I'd slap him if he liked Dub Piece better…I'd slap him with a fucking tuba.
-

I think Mato or someone said they were written as interchangeable (Forgive me Mato if this wasn't you)… this makes me worry but... I guess it's not the worst thing that can happen. I mean tonight's episode went beyond ALL my expectations (except for that tiny thing)
im watching the Japanese one now to see if anything was cut -
So how long before someone makes a 4Kids Dub VS Funi Dub comparison on youtube? Would be pretty interesting to see.

Ooh, this thread keeps going by so fast. Um, in case you didn't see it, I was the one that transcribed the lyrics, so here they are one more time. Enjoy!
Towards the Light ~Hikari E~
Sung by Vic MignognaVic: Ahhh… Ahhh… Ahhhhhhh…
Gol D. Roger: The world… What a glorious place!
Seek freedom, and it will lie stretched out before your eyes.
If the endless dream guides your restless spirit… Seize it!
Raise your flag and stand tall!Vic: Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-yeah-ee-yeah-ee-YEAH!
I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand,
For the endless, everlasting world out there,
I know that with this burning passion driving me,
Someday, somewhere, I’ll finally
See the light I have searched for everywhere!When the summer sun is shining,
Shaking the sails of my heart I know,
(Fly away, glum blue sea)
A brand new world that hath been hiding
Has opened up its doors for me to go,
(Fly away, glum blue sky)
Swelling in the troubled waves,
From all despair I can be saved,
For the horizon on the other side is
Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-yeah-ee-yeah,
Is what I am for!And though I’ve traveled far from where my search began,
Over seas of green and shores of sand,
Through the endless, everlasting world out there,
I know that with this burning passion driving me,
Someday, somewhere, I’ll finally
See the light I have searched for everywhere!Free Will
Sung by Kristine SaNow I look up and see,
There’s something out there,
Beyond the endless, clear blue sky,
Possibilities,
Are just what could be,
That someday I’ll see if I try.When I am alone, out of the memories go racing through my mind,
The things that I’ve said and done, the words I’ve lost, the dreams I’ve left behind,
Sometimes I felt like I would defeat myself, until I recalled,
That there was a one place I could always go, if I happen to fall,With friends and family… [fade out]

Thank you for the lyrics.

If they make that I am going to buy 5 copies of it.

Dangit, my work scheduled me DURING the premiere, so now I have to wait for the torrent. Stupid Dwayne Johnson and your stupid friggin' kids movie, if it weren't for you I would've been happy today. Dang I wish someone would put the episode up on YouTube…
It's not really watching the episode that really matters to me, it's just that I've had this very day planned out for months and months, and it all gets screwed up because of something like this. Missing the premiere I've been waiting so long for just makes me feel like missing out on my own birthday.
But no, seriously, instead of watching a perfectly great program together, at home, for free, stupid parents have to pay to take their moronic kids to see some BS kids' sports movie. But I digress...
The worst part being that I had a dream last night about coping with missing the episode, then I woke up this morning...that was really annoying.
Last note: I dunno why so many people don't like Choppers' voice, he sounds soooo cute!

people don't like Chopper's voice?… and you should have asked for the day off several weeks in advance like I did ^_^
anyway, if you don't wanna wait for the HQ torrent, you can always try LQ:

Didn't actually coment on the ep yet, but all I can really say is this:
Ya done good, Funimation. Ya done good.From what I saw tonight, there was NOT ONE single thing that could keep me from enjoying the series fully from now on. Obviously, some things weren't totally perfect, but nothing can be, and this dub went above and beyond the call of duty needed after 4Kids' trainwreck. I can now rest easy knowing this worthy show is in capable hands.
After Bobobo's gone (I'LL MISS YOU, MAN!!!), this and Naruto will be the last of the greats left on Toonami. Wonder when they'll find that next cool show…
@Hitotsumami:Thank you for the lyrics.
Your welcome.

Welcome to four months ago!
don't give me that, I said many times I hate how they're keeping attack names that they used in the 4Kids version, that but people kept telling me and telling me that the new dub will keep the attack names that the Japanese one had. So don't act like I'm some n00b because I'm far from it. I want people to get their facts straight is what I want. Someone even told me at the Premiere at Anime Atlanta that Mike McFarland said the attack names would be what they were in the Japanese one.
-

That wont really be a good comparison considering 4kids and FUNi have yet to dub the same episode. Once FUNi gets to the earlier episodes tho, I see it.
