Yeah, I was enjoying tonight's episode until the next episode preview. Then when Luffy said "IQ test"…
"What the god damn diddly fuck!?"
Just a plain old "Test" would be acceptable in my eyes.

I was just going to say how well this episode was done and how all the voices are getting better and better but…
WTF they're still keeping "IQ test"?? BLAH. I thought they were going to fix that :(
We've known about that for a while, actually. Shame such a bad name has to stay.
Was it just me, or did Luffy's Gum Gum Fireworks get cut partially? I remember his fist going to some of the White Beret's faces in slow motion.

They didn't say when. Afterall, we had the episode title for quite a while now. So it would appear they had already turned the episode in before then.
Cartoon Network! Are U Friends With Kahn?!!!
Kaaaaaaahhnnn!
Bummer…maybe they can at least say trials in the episode, but probably not.
I don't get why anyone thought "IQ Tests" sounds better than "Trials" or "ordeals".
I didn't notice the change in the waver hitting his face But then again I haven't seen these episodes in a while. And I just wish they didn't have to keep 4kids terms =(

It was chopped up a bit, with a flash at first.

I don't think that was the case. Mato's said quite a few of the 4Kids terms got slipped in before the proper translations could be turned in on time.
Okay, right before One Piece Aired, Kimimaro was BARFING blood practically. It even DRIPPED ON TO THE GROUND.. WHY CAN WE NOT HAVE THE CAPTAIN GETTING HIT IN THE FACE??????? He wasn't even BLEEDING!!!!!!!!!!!
I can kinda understand the other edits thus far, but NOT this one. I'm horrendously PISSED at this one. I just can't believe it. If they can't keep that ONE small comical contact.. HOW THE HELL are they EVER gonna show the battles with the priests??? Do I even WANT to know?? What the HELL!!!!!! I am just appauled. There was NO reason to edit that, NONE. I understand a LOT of blood, but not this. It was completely unnecessary.

He actually was. The whole bloody cheek thing. What was funny was that after Gum Gum Fireworks, the Captain is actually covered in some bloody scrapes.

I can understand being annoyed by things like this…but you're kinda taking it way too much to heart. :wassat:
Credits are here!
Also, um, preview is up but I have to update the first post.

I've been toying with not even watching the TV dubs for a while and it looks like they cut out one of my favorite scenes. This might cement it for me.
And quit putting pretty pictures in your avatar that I can't access. I Just raped your devient art account for that one. Is it somewhere else?
@ MoonNeko: Tonights Naruto - TVPG and CN's lover, Tonights One Piece = TV-Y7 and CN's neglected child. Tho it wouldn't have mattered, if it was PG they would still have censored it.
I greatly enjoyed the episode except the waver scene being edited and….IQ Test...
I hope FUNi did some facepalms tonight.
I want to see it badly.
So next week's is the real new ending. People might think that the ending was changed cause it's new year.

Why is it you praised Funi because of one episode that didn't even matter (the first Funi episode, in fact) but as soon as stuff comes that we should've already expected, you swear off the show?
I'll still watch the show, just 'cause I wanted to watch One Piece over again anyway. We're getting 99% of the story now, so there's no reason to stop.

I feel the same way! I watched the Naruto episode and i thought "Why can they show Kimimaro spilling blood on the ground" and when One Piece comes on, you cant see a waver hitting a guy in the face, even though it's funny and not really violent in any way.
As far as the episode goes, I liked it. It was uneventful though, but a funny episode nonetheless.
I'm peeved they couldn't show a comical hit of someone getting hit by a skybike.
Also, I've watched fireworks many times, and the scene didn't have to flash/or be cut since we don't get to see the impact.
I just wanna know why the fuck K-F put FAITH an episode early. Was it like that on the DVD's or something?
Also, you swore off the show Quex? Then I don't want to hear any bullshit from you and you might as well shut down saveonepiece.com. Here One Piece was saved and then you decide "fuck this"? Yeah, pat yourself on the back there.

all episodes matter, all episodes matter. Plus that episode was done very very well. And I'm not swearing off the show. I'll still buy the DVDs. Also:
1. Skypiea isn't an enjoyable arc for me (FOR ME) anyway, it's not going to be fun watching an edited down version with 4Kids terms in it
2. I don't have a Nelson box, so even if I watched them on TV they wouldn't miss me.
3. Buying the uncut DVDs shows more support than what I'm doing.
I still don't see how some annoying mistakes really completely ruin the whole thing that's it's not watchable. Like I said before, the good far out weighs the bad.
I'm sure many of us will but the DVDs. Doesn't mean you have to stop watching the tv dub. Especially since it's going to be more far along than the DVDs.
Then, again, you might as well shut down saveonepiece.com.
well i guess yeah I should watch it first XD I haven't even seen it yet. It probably sounds worse than it actually is.
Then, again, you might as well shut down saveonepiece.com.
Believe me, I'm contemplating it. I know most people probably wouldn't care but… when the first two pages of our episode talk back is people arguing over who should get to make the topic, and it gets so bad where I have to say "I'm making the topic from now on" and there's STILL arguing... what the hell's the point? No one is even enjoying it anymore. Believe me, it's not just the dub that's bothering me. It's a lot of other trivial matters in the fandom right now.
Let's face it, I do NOT belong in the One Piece fandom.
all episodes matter, all episodes matter. Plus that episode was done very very well. And I'm not swearing off the show. I'll still buy the DVDs. Also:
My point was that the first dubbed episoded wasn't an epic one, and the 4Kids dub would've been similar, but you acted like Funi saved it from 4Kids' evil clutches anyway. Now that there are actual edits (ones that we should've already expected) you complain. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Edit:
well i guess yeah I should watch it first XD I haven't even seen it yet. It probably sounds worse than it actually is.
…
i think your overreacting Quexinos
What's funny is that while they are still edits, the wounds left behind are now starting to at least show up. Both the Waver and Gum Gum Fireworks actually left some of the red stuff behind, compared to earlier on.
Some of you guys are making it out to seem like we're getting 4Kids style edits.
I tell you, CN is seriously trying my patience. They're not giving me any incentive to watch the dub. If by February they kill off Toonami and put OP on the Dynamite Action Squad block hosted by that Cambodian child-prostitute Blake, I will have to forsake watching it for good.
The episode was good to me. I think its weird that one piece shows in a later time then Naruto. Naruto shows blood and hitting, but on OP the hitting and blood is edit or flashed. I thought later time means move things. One Piece seem like it should be on before Naruto.
I'm also not really upset about the edits. As long as their done well. IQ Tests, Gravity Blue Riders and things like that upset me. I don't think I'm over reacting at all. I'd find it more enjoyable to watch the episodes unedited with the proper terms so I might not watch the TV dub. I don't see the over reacting here.
If I were to turn my website against Funimation or come here swearing and cursing or say I wouldn't buy the DVDs and start online petitions and stuff, THAT'S over reacting. But making a decision to wait for the DVDs, that shouldn't be a problem.
Keep in mind folks
I'M NOT A FAN OF THE SKYPIEA ARC ANYWAY! It takes a lot for it to keep my attention. I will probably start watching again toward the end of Skypiea but even as KF was releasing the episodes I had a hard time with it. It's no big deal, just personal preference.
I'm still very supportive of Funi and I'm grateful to them. If buying two of their DVDs and products doesn't show that, I don't know what does.
i thought it was fine~! the problem was the episode didn't have the most awesomw stuff going on.
Quexi, you're forgetting the tight scheduling FUNi is under and how Mato explained that some translations were done by the time the dub for certain episodes were already finished.
As I've mentioned time and time again. Don't get mad over these things. None of those terms being used were FUNi's creations. Had 4Kids not originally messed around with them, thus making the list Toei gave them more accurate, none of this would have happened. But since it did, DON'T GO APESHIT. Take a deep breath. Sit back. Relax. And simply explain to the FUNi crew in a CALM and POLITE manner of what was wrong and what possible changes should be made for the future DVD releases.
Kaizoku-Fansubs put FAITH earlier than it should have been.
Really?
Good to know. Thanx, Tsukento.
Looks like Mato was right.

Next episode preview is up for those who can't download ChibiGoku's vids.

I'm NOT mad at Funimation at all. If anything I feel for them having to do such a stupid thing. I'm NOT going Apeshit. I'm just not going to watch the TV Dub for right now. I don't like Spypiea anyway and nothing is happening in the episodes right now that interests me.
As I said if I were to turn my site against Funi or start petitions or something, that would be going Apeshit. Just not watching the TV dub shouldn't matter at all. It's not helping or hurting Funi either way. Buying the DVDs WILL help and I DO want to buy them.
Besides I think Funi all ready knows what needs to be changed so there's no need to tell them. They all ready said the terms would be changed for the DVDs and I trust them. I'm sure the DVDs will be just great.
I hope One piece last to the end. If CN decide OP not doing good the show could be cancel and Funi might not make more dvds. Hope OP got the lucky of DBZ.
the ratings have been going up since September and they kept it at the ratings they were at BEFORE they went up so now it shouldn't be a problem.
Eh,
I missed the episode again. But then again, it's Winter Break, so that's a given. Familytimez, I spent the evening watching Rush Hour 3. :s
and… what's this?
I… Lobster Pot Hyphen Sticker return to this dreary message board of decay and decadence, to find... negative reviews?
Negative reviews, from... Quexinos?!
How is this possible? Quexinos who is always a 110% Funi fan-girl, hating the episode? This is unprecedented. I'm so speechless that I will type instead. This episode must be horrendous if she says it's bad. I'm not sure what else to say…
I suppose that I'll just wait until ChibiGoku gives us a download of it, or Tsukento uploads some clips before I form a coherent opinion.
Mya mya mya mya mya
Hey, atleast we ain't getting that Naruto treatment ;)
We should consider ourselves l-u-c-k-y
a' luck luck lucky
luck lucky
cause' we just so lucky
I didn't hate the episode bangs head on table
I haven't even seen it, I've been saying for weeks now that I might stop watching the TV dub… and it's done downloading... here I go...
Ok, episode is up. Check the first post for details.

Shut up, Lobster. Just watch the episode.
Funimation REALLY wanted to have One Piece, they've wanted it since Toei first put up the dubbing rights for sale. Considering the juggernaut that is One Piece in Japan, being the highest-selling Manga of all time along with a consistent top-rated weekly show, it'd be ridiculous to NOT want to bring that magic here, just like they did with DBZ.
Anyway, I happened to enjoy tonight's episode. I'm intrigued by the mixing of Blue Sea Dwellers and Gravity Blue Riders, I'm not sure why they're using both but with the way the VA's do their thing, it's not that bothersome. The edit of McKinley getting smashed by the Waver was definitely a "huh?" moment, but we all know that the road to less edits is a long and hard one (look no further than Naruto).
The voice work is awesome as usual. Eric Vale and Colleen Clinkenbeard have me hooked with their portrayals of Sanji and Luffy. Completely hooked. Sonny Strait and Chris Sabat are godlike as expected, same goes for Luci Christian and Stephanie Young. Brina Palencia, however, I don't know. Sometimes she's golden with Chopper, sometimes she's not. I'm sure it'll get better with time. And to my surprise, all the secondary characters have voices that fit them perfectly.
The only thing I was really disappointed with was the lack of Faith (pun?) for the ending, but it looks like K-F had us fooled. A new ending will come with the new year, and with all the waiting we've had to endure for One Piece to get this good, I have no gripes waiting another week.
The pacing of Skypiea leaves something to be desired. Right now I'm REALLY wishing we could get two episodes a week. With about 40 episodes left in the arc, that would end Skypiea around May, which to me is much better than ending next October. Hopefully, the folks at Funi are chugging right along and by some miracle, could make this happen. If the ratings are improving for One Piece, maybe C/N will finally let up on their DBZ loving and give us that final 1/2 hour.
I found this episode to be all right (except for some cuts), at least they treid to keep in Blue Sea Dwellers 3x which is amazing, IMO.

There, you happy? I fucking said it. >:| Now shut up, Lobster.
Thanks for the episode, ChibiGoku.
Thanks for the episode as usual, Goku.
All right! Thanks for the episode ChibiGoku
…
Lobster, I hope you die now.
Man I didn't even realize they actually said Blue Sea Dwellers, looks like I gotta watch the ep again.. xD Not that I mind…
Shut up, Lobster. Just watch the episode.
Thank you.
Now, I'd give a review but I'm afraid because everything I say recently just gets turned into something huge. So I'll keep it brief. From the reviews I read I was under the impression that there were some horrible edits but aside from Nami not hitting McKinely with the waver, this episode was well done. Very well done. Certainly worthy of 4 and a half stars at least. Next time I won't even say anything until I see the episode. And if I choose not to see the episode, I won't say anything then either.
Ussop was just hilarious, Sonny Straight is brilliant. I love him grabbing Luffy and pulling him up onto the cloud. You gotta feel bad for him trying SO hard not to get in trouble XD
The only line I had a problem with was Robin's, "That's 7 million genius…" Robin shouldn't use sarcasm or insult people like that. At least I don't think so, I'm probably wrong as usual.
So that's all, good episode.
Late to the party, but….......SHUT UP, LOBSTER!
And just watch the episode, Quex.
…
Lobster, I hope you die now.
Hey…it's kind of dumb to make death threats at someone miles away from you.
