Cool It says Sea Kings ans spanish french attacks from robin, but does it look like nami got a bobb edit, just wandering

Who's Bob and what kind of editing does he do? :(
No, there's no cleavage editing. Nami's boobs are still intact.
-
At least we won't have to worry about bikini Nami being edited. Which is good for us. After all if they can keep Tsunade's fake tits unedited they can do it for Nami's natural boobs.
-
So did anybody besides me notice that Robin called Luffy "Luffy" again?
-
I don't really like Robin's voice or delivery. Maybe it's because she hasn't spoken much and I can't really get used to her like I could Luffy, Sanji, and especially Nami. I also don't like Chopper's voice, much. I mean, she's way too loud… I can't even understand what she's saying half the time. Maybe she's like that in the Japanese version, and I just never noticed because I read subs as opposed to listening and perceiving words.
-

Yes.
I'm not surprised that they'd do that in the dub though.

In before shitstorm!

Y'now I'm getting kind of sickened by the "It's better than 4Kids, so it's alright". That's like being diagnosed with HIV and saying "Well, at least I don't have a malignant tumor!". I think One Piece deserves the best of the best dub out there. My expectations certainly haven't dropped after the 4Kids shit, so why has everyone else's?
-
I don't see what's wrong with Robin calling Luffy by his name rather than Strawhat. And I don't see why it's a big deal.
-
Nono, she calls him "Captain". It's weird because she's called Nami "Miss Navigator" and Chopper "Doctor", so it's wierd she calls Luffy "Luffy" (pre-Enies Lobby, anyway). IIRC she called him "Captain" up until Spandam received the call from the Den Den Mushi explaining the horrid situation in Enies Lobby (Episode 273, I think).

Well I get sickened by the elitist that pretty much want One Piece to be shown on TV in Japanese with probably K-F subs since they think K-F is the most accurate translator EVER!
Let's face it. Even if One Piece got the Naruto treatment. Even if One Piece was completely uncut. You would still bitch about every little thing because in your mind it could never compare to the Japanese version.
I for one enjoy the dub. I for one think it's a good dub. I for one think that over time it's going to have the Naruto treatment. But heck if I wanna come into each and every dub thread just to hear you guys BAW because you can't accept that Funi is doing a great job with the dub edits and all.
Honestly if you want to act like how NaruTards have and still do with their dub then go ahead, but heck if I want anything to do with that. I'm just going to enjoy the dub, and then I'm going to enjoy the uncut DVDs while you're still complaining how the uncut DVDs just aren't "uncut" enough for you.
By the way. I'm not pointing any fingers just so you know.
-
Yeah, I'm tired of the "KF is law" elitists too.
To me, I don't mind these little changes. I see them as sort of a diversity for us all.

What the hell are you talking about.
-
Y'know, I don't care if Robin calls Luffy by his name. It shouldn't matter. Yes, her thing is to call people by their titles in the original. But you know what? There's been worse before. It's not like Robin's calling Luffy by a nickname that makes absolutely no sense.
-
What the hell are you talking about.
Exactly what I said.
You said you're tired of the people who go "well at least it's not in 4kids hands anymore."
Well maybe I'm tired of people who complain about the dub just for the sake of complaining about it. Especially when Funi actually is giving the fans a great One Piece dub. As I said the dub could be completely uncut and people would still complain about it.
Heck at least the Funi dub is watchable, and it's been pretty damn faithful to the Japanese version too unlike 4kids version. All I'm saying is. Quit making a mountain out of a molehill. There's just no point to it. If you're THAT unsatisfied with the dub then just stick to watching fansubs and let the people who enjoy the dub enjoy it without all the pointless bitching.
-
I definitely enjoy the dub, I tune in every week and watch it. I never even talked shit about FUNimation, I just said I didn't like it when people try to cop out a Funi mistake with the 4Kids line. Sorry if I'm sounding demanding, I'm really not dissatisfied with Funi's dub as a whole, but I really think it should be the absolute best without CN and Naruto dragging it down.

I loved the whole Pierre (sp?) the bird-horse scene. And the fish, I loved Luffy's face when he grabbed it away from Robin for a quick-fry. I always knew that Sonny was perfect for Ussop, he nailed the "There's something in my pants" line.
I also thought Zoro was getting better, it sounds as if all of the VAs are settling into their roles rather quickly. Some of my Zoro favorites this week were "Uh, guys…..... he's not coming up," his exchange with Sanji about calling him a moron, and the way he delivered the line, "That settles it: we go that way."
Oh… and horray for original attack names!

Well as I said I wasn't pointing fingers at you. I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I mean there's no reason for us to act like how the Naruto fandom does with their dub. We've already been through heck because of 4kids and now Funi has provided us a great dub and it's only a matter of time before it'll be as uncut as Naruto on TV. So really I don't see how it's wrong for people to say that because Funi does it; it's okay. Because Funi is not butchering the dub in any way, shape, or form.
The only one's who would think that Funi is butchering the dub as much as 4kids are sub elitist, and honestly they'll complain about anything in the dub no matter if it was good or bad so their opinions on the dub shouldn't even matter.
Sorry if I sounded harsh by the way, but it just seems like every week the sub elitists crawl out of the woodwork into this thread just to say how bad of a job they think Funi is doing compared to their precious K-F subs.
-
You know, I just watched Naruto last night, and it still amazes me how unedited it is. Apparently, even splattering blood is okay now. When Kabuto attacked Tsunade, the blood from his attack was completely unaltered. Not to mention that her face was covered with it as well. Both shows are SUPPOSEDLY rated TV-PGV, yet they won't even allow Zoro to hold his sword to some guys neck.
That seems to me to reek of failure.
It's still edited to some extent like Gai hitting Lee (the punch connecting was skipped and the blood coming from Lee's nose was removed) and any
Nosebleeds resulting from Naruto Harem Jutsu (these are just some of the edits I can recall) -
This post is deleted!
-
This one i not fully aware of becauseit might have been a translator's error (in the manga) or it may have been removed or edited from the anime but wasn't there a point during her fight where Kabuto where he mentioned how fat her breasts(Tsunade's) were.
-
Actually there were alot of times Robin Called Luffy Luffy before the CP9 saga, its just out of respect for him thats all,
-
As far as scripting goes, FUNi does a good job. The script may not always be accurate (or even remotely close at times), but I happen to believe that it's better for something to sound good in the language it's being presented in, rather than have something be awful but an exact translation (a problem Studiopolis hasn't yet realized).
But the whole Robin thing…it IS kind of important. It's one of those subtle character traits that define their personality. Like how Vegeta always calls Goku "Kakarott."
-
Well maybe I'm tired of people who complain about the dub just for the sake of complaining about it. Especially when Funi actually is giving the fans a great One Piece dub.
In this world, if you do something wrong, you get called on it. That's what this is.
You take a test, you get eight out of ten answers right, you still get marked off for missing two. Your teacher doesn't say "Oh, well, he got eight out of ten, I'll give him 100% for doing so well".
Funi is doing things wrong. We are calling them on it and bringing it to their attention. Hopefully, we are doing it soon enough that they can correct their errors in time for a DVD release. So that when it is time for DVDs to come out Funi will have produced a product worth spending MY MONEY on. Because if they don't, then I will end up doing what you suggest and stick to fansubs.
Funi wants my money, they better !@#$ing earn it. You don't get credit for trying real hard', you get credit for doing it right.
Edit: I would also like to point out that Funi is in a rare position that they actually can fix these things. They know they rushed these episodes out the door, they know they've messed up a few of things, and they have time and opportunity to correct them. So it is our job as fans to point out everything we can find to put on that 'to do' list.
If your standards are so lax that anything that doesn't make your ears bleed and your eyes melt is fine by you, then fine. But don't bitch about people doing their duty as fans, working to make sure the DVD is the best possible release it can be.
-
Yeah. That's pretty much how I feel, too.
From a much more direct standpoint.
-
Funi wants my money, they better !@#$ing earn it.
I would think they already have, but whatever…
-
You don't get credit for trying real hard', you get credit for doing it right.
Quoted for the truth
Did you make that up, Charagon?
-
I think Funi's already done more than enough to earn everyone's money, but hey, that's just me.
-
As far as I'm concerned, FUNi just needs to fix the English "We Are" a bit (which I already know they're gonna do), and they've got my money. I think they just need to get rid of the reference to Luffy in the lyrics.
-

Which is all well and good if some people weren't taking it to an extreme.

But nobody is saying that at all. We all know that the flashes and stuff are a bit much, but as I said earlier after some time it'll be just as uncut as Naruto so as far as I'm concerned the flashes and stuff really don't mean all that much.
Funi is doing things wrong. We are calling them on it and bringing it to their attention. Hopefully, we are doing it soon enough that they can correct their errors in time for a DVD release.

Because FUNI calling him Rafiette, accidently missing the mystery lines, and having Robin call her crewmates by name is doing it wrong am I right? And I'm sure all the constant bitching about how they're wrong and how K-F is law is showing them what for huh? After all outside of the few minor changes in names as well as a few minor things that aren't even noticable by anyone who doesn't watch fansubs how is Funi doing it wrong? Have they done something I don't know about like change major plot points?
Also as far as MY money goes Funi has already proved the One Piece dub worthy enough to spend money on.
Funi wants my money, they better !@#$ing earn it. You don't get credit for trying real hard', you get credit for doing it right.
They try to do it right and yet people complain anyways. Honestly even if they did it right the first time you'd still complain that it isn't "right enough." This is what I have a problem with. As I said I really don't want us to turn into the Naruto fandom in regards to the dub. We're better than that. We don't need to stoop so low as to become a rabid mob of fantards. Funi is doing their best to fix the mistakes that 4kids has made, and they're doing a pretty damn good job of it.
Outside of the DVD's I'm not expecting the dub to be absolutely perfect, but I've never said that it was perfect in the first place. As far as the TV airing goes "trying real hard" is good enough for me.
Edit: I would also like to point out that Funi is in a rare position that they actually can fix these things. They know they rushed these episodes out the door, they know they've messed up a few of things, and they have time and opportunity to correct them.

The thing is I'm sure Funi would be able to find those same mistakes even without the fans help when it comes to getting the DVDs ready. I would at least think they know what they're doing.
Also I never said my standards are that lax. As I said you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I just choose not to do the same. On that note then I should just say fine then if you're so unhappy with the dub just stick with your precious K-F fansubs then and let the fans who actually enjoy the dub enjoy it without all the pointless bitching over the really insignificant things.
-
One Piece's edits are definitely extreme considering how much violence actually means to the series, especially tense scenes. Now I'm even more pissed after hearing how uncut Naruto is, especially since that's at a fucking earlier timeslot. Dammit, not I'm really angry, how does I email CN?
-
Aethos, Charagon isn't saying KF is law. but he IS pointing out what Funi is doing wrong and I for one am glad someone is doing this. It's good to have high standards when it comes to something you're passionate about.
Honestly, I don't care about the removal of mystery lines but the one thing i DO care about is Robin calling Luffy Luffy. This should not happen. EVER! Before Enies Lobby.
Funi wants my money, they better !@#$ing earn it. You don't get credit for trying real hard', you get credit for doing it right
They've all ready earned it from me, I can deal if Robin calls Luffy by his name, I don't like it but I can deal. I'll be a tad disappointed but as long as they correct their mistakes in the long run, it'll be okay.
BUT
IF for any reason, (be it mistake, oversight, I don't even care what the excuse is) I hear Zolo, Trace or Merry Go on the DVDs, even just ONCE, you can bet I will send them back to Funi and demand my money back.
EDIT:
Zulen: cartooncomments@turner.com -
Thanks, I'm not sure if it will make a difference, but you've sent emails to Vic and FUNimation and gotten replies so I at least have minor assurance they'll be read.
-
Yeah, CN has been failing pretty hard lately. Had anyone caught their so called afternoon block "Funny for your face!?" Let me tell you, just watching it kind of makes me want to die. Not only are the bumps the most obnoxious things I've ever seen, they made some short with that Blake retard. CN's favorite child prostitute apparently goes to some concert with some boy band or something. Just looking at it stunned me, because that could not possibly have anything LESS to do with cartoons.
But back to One Piece. I'm having a hard time getting used to Robin, mostly because Veronica Taylor screwed up my head. And Luffy is starting to sound WAY too much like Ash Ketchum for my tastes. Hopefully Laura Bailey as Conis will make up for it. 100 bucks says she voices Apis later on.
-
Which is all well and good if some people weren't taking it to an extreme.
This is an internet forum. When people start mailing bombs it'll be extreme.
But nobody is saying that at all. We all know that the flashes and stuff are a bit much, but as I said earlier after some time it'll be just as uncut as Naruto so as far as I'm concerned the flashes and stuff really don't mean all that much.
I won't speak for anybody else, but I don't give a crap about flashes and I think anybody who does should shut up and focus on things that matter to the DVD release.
Because FUNI calling him Rafiette, accidently missing the mystery lines, and having Robin call her crewmates by name is doing it wrong am I right?
Ummm, yes. When you do something that isn't right, it is, by definition, WRONG.
Rafiette = Wrong
No Mystery Lines = Wrong
Robin calling people by name = WrongThis isn't a big philosophical debate. These aren't open-ended questions with vast complexities. There's a right way, and then there's everything else. If it's not right its…. say it with me now.... WRONG.
And I'm sure all the constant bitching about how they're wrong and how K-F is law is showing them what for huh?
Shut. The Hell. Up. About K-F.
The only one bringing up K-F here is you. Period.After all outside of the few minor changes in names as well as a few minor things that aren't even noticable by anyone who doesn't watch fansubs how is Funi doing it wrong? Have they done something I don't know about like change major plot points?
What part of "wrong" don't you understand? There's no acceptable amount of wrong. Not when something can be done about it. That's the whole point of the concept. Wrong is something to be avoided. It is not okay, cause if it were, then it wouldn't be wrong.
When you do something wrong you do one of two things.
1. You try to fix it.
2. If you can't fix it, then you accept it and move on.
This is not the second scenario.They try to do it right and yet people complain anyways.
I don't pay people to 'try'. I pay people to 'do'. And honestly, if they can't fix the obvious mistakes when given ample time and notice, they aren't really trying.
Honestly even if they did it right the first time you'd still complain that it isn't "right enough." This is what I have a problem with.
You aren't a telepath and you can't see the future. So stop pretending you can.
As I said I really don't want us to turn into the Naruto fandom in regards to the dub. We're better than that. We don't need to stoop so low as to become a rabid mob of fantards. Funi is doing their best to fix the mistakes that 4kids has made, and they're doing a pretty damn good job of it.
Fine, I guess I'll just 'do my best' to pay them.
Outside of the DVD's I'm not expecting the dub to be absolutely perfect, but I've never said that it was perfect in the first place. As far as the TV airing goes "trying real hard" is good enough for me.
….......................... so you agree with everything I've said.
The thing is I'm sure Funi would be able to find those same mistakes even without the fans help when it comes to getting the DVDs ready. I would at least think they know what they're doing.
You put too much faith in them. I will be legitimately surprised if they even bother fixing the stuff that should be fixed for the DVD release. I find it a much more likely scenario that they'll just write off the first 50 episodes or so as a 'learning experience' and release them as is.
Also I never said my standards are that lax. As I said you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I just choose not to do the same.
No. You choose to bitch about the people 'making a mountain out of a molehill", which is even worse.
On that note then I should just say fine then if you're so unhappy with the dub just stick with your precious K-F fansubs then and let the fans who actually enjoy the dub enjoy it without all the pointless bitching over the really insignificant things.
Yes. Because I want a dub, and I want it done right, I should watch a sub…. you make so much sense.
-
I honestly don't mind if people point out little problems. That's all fine. Simply saying "Hm, Robin normally calls Luffy by his title rather than his name." is good. It explains where the problem lies and that it should be fixed.
However, as each week passes, instead of getting those type of a comments, we get the "ZOMG I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THOS E IDIOTS RAWR ROBIN SHOULD BE CALLING HIM CAPTAIN, NOT HIS NAME!!!!"
Nothing gets accomplished when going apeshit over minor problems that could be pointed out calmly and without turning into a raging fanboy/fangirl.
-
Aethos, Charagon isn't saying KF is law. but he IS pointing out what Funi is doing wrong and I for one am glad someone is doing this. It's good to have high standards when it comes to something you're passionate about.
Well actually I wasn't trying to say that Charagon was claiming KF is law, but if I implied that then I apologize. I hadn't meant to.
I just don't like how some people seem to be treating the Funi dub like it's no better than the 4kids dub. I mean yeah it's not perfect, but to treat the new dub like it's the same level of trash just because it wasn't done the way some people wanted it to be done isn't right.
-
This new dub is good. And has inspired me to reread Skypiea.
INTERNET DRAMA caused by dumb arguments over a cartoon on the other hand is not good
-
Charagon, I missed the boat, when did your posts become so awesome?
-
The Funimation Dub is awesome. Now quit yer bitchin' and watch some random short film with me.
-

That's being balanced out by the people who keep either saying that it's Funi's best dub or the best english dub ever W00T (Which will now be featured in Merriam Webster's Dictionary BTW.)
-
@Sandai:

I haven't seen that… at all. I mean I think the dub is great, but I don't think it's the best dub ever.
-
However, as each week passes, instead of getting those type of a comments, we get the "ZOMG I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THOS E IDIOTS RAWR ROBIN SHOULD BE CALLING HIM CAPTAIN, NOT HIS NAME!!!!"
err.. I've yet to see a comment like that XD
please tell me when this was.Charagon, I missed the boat, when did your posts become so awesome?
Dude I KNOW! It happened overnight
-
I haven't seen that… at all. I mean I think the dub is great, but I don't think it's the best dub ever.
If I didn't mind sifting through long pages I'd find you an example.

But does it hurt the dub in the long run? Not really. Especially since the only people who would even notice those minor things are fansub watchers.
Shut. The Hell. Up. About K-F.
The only one bringing up K-F here is you. Period.When people stop comparing Funi's translations to K-F's translations I'll be glad to shut up about K-F.
What part of "wrong" don't you understand? There's no acceptable amount of wrong. Not when something can be done about it. That's the whole point of the concept. Wrong is something to be avoided. It is not okay, cause if it were, then it wouldn't be wrong.

1. You try to fix it.
2. If you can't fix it, then you accept it and move on.
This is not the second scenario.and why can't it be the second scenario? We're not Funi. We can't fix the mistakes they make. You're just preaching to the wind. Maybe you think it's wrong for me to choose option 2, but I think that's better than choosing option 1 and bitching about how the dub isn't up to YOUR standards when there are many other people who do like the new dub despite it not being 100% perfect.
I don't pay people to 'try'. I pay people to 'do'. And honestly, if they can't fix the obvious mistakes when given ample time and notice, they aren't really trying.
Well when you magically become in charge of Funimation then I'm sure you can actually start paying them to do instead of try.
You put too much faith in them. I will be legitimately surprised if they even bother fixing the stuff that should be fixed for the DVD release. I find it a much more likely scenario that they'll just write off the first 50 episodes or so as a 'learning experience' and release them as is.
Of course I have faith in them. If anything you don't have enough faith in them. They're doing their best to revitalize the One Piece dub in the US. They are doing their best to market towards the fans as well as bring in new viewers. I honestly don't see why you have to be pessimistic about it. I think I have every right to feel overconfident about them.
No. You choose to bitch about the people 'making a mountain out of a molehill", which is even worse.
Because it's annoying. You don't like how Funi handles the dub? Fine but you don't need to bring up the same arguments over and over and over again. Honestly the people who make a mountain out of a molehill are just beating a dead horse. They're beating the horse more than the people who "bitch about them."
Yes. Because I want a dub, and I want it done right, I should watch a sub…. you make so much sense.
I doubt the dub would ever be "right" enough for you unless you did it yourself.
-
However, as each week passes, instead of getting those type of a comments, we get the "ZOMG I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THOS E IDIOTS RAWR ROBIN SHOULD BE CALLING HIM CAPTAIN, NOT HIS NAME!!!!"
I'm going to assume that these posts are made by the same mythological creatures that are in here every week touting about how great K-F is and how everything they do is exactly right.
-
eh what the hell I'll do it this time
But does it hurt the dub in the long run? Not really. Especially since the only people who would even notice those minor things are fansub watchers.
Who are the main people who are going to be buying the DVDs =P
When people stop comparing Funi's translations to K-F's translations I'll be glad to shut up about K-F.
But when the person you're arguing with about isn't saying that and you're acting like he is, it makes you look bad when you keep bringing it up. If ANYTHING, he's saying the opposite of this.
Of course I have faith in them. If anything you don't have enough faith in them. They're doing their best to revitalize the One Piece dub in the US.

I think I have every right to feel overconfident about them.
He isn't being pessimistic at all. He's pointing out changes he wants to see made… oh the horror.
Because it's annoying. You don't like how Funi handles the dub?"
Show me when he said this plz
Seriously, Aethos ,usually you're one of my favorite members but you're not making sense here. Re read your posts before submitting them and make sure you have posts to back up you claims.
