@CP9_agent:
I second the comment about Luffy's VA. It seems to go in and out. I love most of the SH's VA's especially Zoro and Sanji's. Choppers grates my ears but I guess how can it be improved? Usopp's is ok but not sure. What I find humorous is that all the non strawhats are perfect. All the villians and other voices I find perfect. Yet Luffy, Choppers, and Usopps voices just make me cringe. I love what Funi is doing with the dub it rocks so much compared to 4kids but I just can't get into some of it.
My problem with the SH crew is really Luffy.
Why did they have to make him sound like a 12 year old when he's 17? I understand that Luffy is played by a famale voice actor in Japan, but she at least doesn't make him sound like a child.
Funimation should have went the DBZ route and given Luffy a male voice just like they did for Goku. I don't think I would have liked DBZ if Goku sounded like he was 12.
As for the others.
Zoro: He was way too deep and unnatural in the begining, but he has soften his voice to an acceptible level as of this episode.
Sanji: He wasn't Suave enough, but he has corrected it since the begining.
Ussop: He slipped into the Krillin voice in the begining, but it's fine now.
Robin: I have no problem with her voice.
Chopper: He sounds just like he's suppose to.
