12/29 "Already Criminals!? Skypiea's Upholder of the Law" Dub Discussion

XD I meant those who wave it in your faces thinking you'll cave in and collapse to their all mighty higher learning and agree to their arguement. You guys are cool though lol
-
Ah well okay. I just didn't want to be bunched up into that high and mighty snob stereotype is all. XD
-
EXACTLY! What people don't get is that Japanese and English are two very different languages. They have their own ways of what sounds natural and what doesn't. I hate to sound like Al Kahn, but the localization process is important. As long as they stay true to what the original creators intended, and don't brutally gang-rape it like, say, 4Kids or Saban, they can have their own little ideosyncrasies. If you want 100% totally accuacy, just keep watching the sub. But if want a good English dub, you have to accept that not everything can make it through in one piece (OMG pun!).
And remember kids, the balls are inert.

Hard to disagree there. I'd rather the actors did their own thing.
-
Yeah I'd rather the actor's did their own thing in regards to the voices than conform to some elitist's view of perfection in their japanese animu.
Although we can all agree that sometimes there needs to be some improvements, but I don't see that in Funi Piece sorry…
-
Well…they did kind of just start in the middle of the series it's only been...twelve episodes since the show began. I don't expect to see people gushing over the new dub or anything, at least not until a year or two now.
-
one piece will never ever be popular in america
it is not happening don't get your hopes up
-
Yeah One Piece isn't Japanese enough to be popular and cool towards Americans.
-
I find it hilarious that Naruto, a show about Ninjas, is a cash cow in the U.S. while One Piece, a show about Pirates, is a cash cow in Japan.
I want to see One Piece succeed and be popular in the U.S., but like with DBZ (and Naruto, even), these things take time. All it needs is a good dub and proper marketing. Right now we don't have any toys, shirts, DVD's, anything helping promote the OP brand. That will change with Movie 8. There's no doubt in my mind towards the movie helping OP's popularity, even if it's a little bit that's better than nothing. Then after that, perhaps we'll see OP get DBZ's time slot so they can run 2 episodes a week, and get us out of the Skypiea arc at a reasonable rate.
-
Even though it won't happen. It'd be funny if One Piece actually did become more popular than Naruto and lightly began to shove it out of the picture like how DBZ did with most of the anime's that were on Toonami back during it's prime, but as I said it'll never happen.
-
whoa… did he just get banned for that?
EDIT:
okay, no he didn't. It was something else, I was worried for a moment -

speaking of people leaving, has anyone seen or heard from RomanGod?
-
He pops up over at gamefaqs often but I haven't seen him here.
You know it's a shame that most of the people aren't around in this thread anymore. I liked it when Indigo, Seal, and the others were around.

To be honest I Think it's time for me to get the hell out of Dodge as well

aw but then the only person left in here would be… well lobster and that's no fun. :(
-
Ahem, what am I, invisible? :getlost:
Oh and you shouldn't give up hope. One Piece has one advantage over Naruto. It's plot and characterisation is consistently good while Naruto turned to shit. Just wait till Enies Lobby^^ If that doesn't draw in the fans, nothing will!!!
-
I'm not giving up hope, just giving up posting at ARlong Park =P
I clearly do not belong here
-
Noooooooooo!!!!!! Don't Go Quexi. We Need A Female Bisexual Who Is Willing To Give Up Work For One Piece!!! And We Need Your Help!!!!!!!!!!
-
No one doesn't "not" belong here.
-
RomanGod hangs around Toon Zone, which I encourage if you want good discussion and more mature members.[/coughadvertisementcough]
-
I might consider joining there, but I can't leave Arlong Park. It's the first place I went to find people who liked One Piece as much as I do.

Wasn't expect anybody to leave any community.

If by good discussion you mean mods on power trips and by more mature members you mean annoying arrogant pricks, then by all means head on over to Toon Zone.
-
Now that I can say is rather slanderous. The mods are rather lienant unless somebody is directly going out of their way to be a jerk. I know there are probably a few members who can be 'arrogant' but their are few and far between.
I'd much rather you'd be more specifc with your opinion on the matter, though (not like this thread's the place, though LOL).

Nah you're not invisible…
and yeah don't go quexi. We want you to stay.
-
Heh, sorry. I was in a much-needed vacation for like a week… I didn't have internet access, though... so... yeah. ^_^;
Anyways, this was a great episode. The only thing that kinda bothered me was, as mentioned, the McKinley gets hit by waver scene (I mean, it's just a comedic hit...) and that sarcastic remark they made Robin say.
Other than that, great as usual. And, yeah... Looks like KF made ending 10 appear one episode before.
Also, GaryPotter... Lol, I'm pretty sure there was a good reason why you were banned from Toonzone. I've seen many of your posts there... They weren't pretty.
-
Oh, so he was banned? I thought he was being stuck up and left.
