Well the problem is it does bother some people. I mean Funi isn't going to say, "Well this doesn't bother AWB so we aren't going to answer it." =P
Unofficial Funi DVD discussions
-
-
Yeah, but I think most people should learn to ignore it. It's like complaining about the fact that Zoro appears on two menu screens on the DVD while Luffy only appears on one. So freaking what?
I just finished all 13 episodes, and all I can say is I WANT MORE! MORE!
Make sure to ask Funi if they have a specific release date.
-

But then again, having it bother just a few hardcore fans on a messageboard is really NBD.
But yay, just got my DVDs in the mail today!
-
Sonny does such a great job with Usopp here. He really does the emotional parts excellently.
Merry sounds like a possible homosexual.But then again, having it bother just a few hardcore fans on a messageboard is really NBD.
Agreed. If Funi really wanted to please the hardcore fans who are virtually unpleasable, they would have just licensed the fan subs.

True but those ones… are very loud XD

I love Buggy's line after Luffy kicks him in the testicles simply because I didn't expect Funi to include such lines in their dub.
"My balls! My balls!"

Same here, same here. I just die of laughing during that. I also agree Sonny did an awesome job on Usopp on these episodes. I can't wait for Sonny's performance in a lot of the upcoming arcs espically for Arlong, Little Gardan, and Water 7.
-
If they'll drop an s-bomb in YĂ» YĂ» Hakusho I doubt they really care about 'my balls'.
-
Well I've never seen Yu Yu Hakusho before, so….
Wow, they really said that? Never thought Funi would drop that.
Any f-bombs perhaps?
-
I hear Speed Grapher or one of their other titles used a few. Not too sure, though.
-
Never heard of Speed Grapher before. checks it on wikipedia Hmm, well Speed Grapher seems like a more adult-oriented series due to its premise. Wouldn't be surprised to hear stronger language in a "stronger" series.
-
I do kinda hope they don't start with fuck in One Piece though. MAYBE once in a great while but I wouldn't want it like every episode.
-
As long as they don't venture into modern slang like Kefi sometimes does with the manga, I'm happy.
I will forever hate that "Blueno got owned" line.
-
Yes many times. At least it's common knowledge on S'dOP, so maybe it's not here so I'll post it. This is directly from Caitlin:
I never expected you to post that,
@AWB:

"My balls! My balls!"
One of my favorite lines of the whole DVD. Delivered perfectly as well, IMO.
-
What? I lurk there sometimes >.>
-
Hmm, I had a post earlier in the day but Firefox killed it on me.
Basically, I missed out on the "stretched fullscreen vs. black bars and fullscreen" discussion and all I have to say is that I'm a videophile, and I don't know what possesses anyone to be insane enough to stretch a 4:3 video into 16:9. If black bars bother you then you're not paying attention to what you're watching. Stretched video looks GODAWFUL and especially if it's a 480i source.
Anyway, questions I'd ask for the Funi folks:
- Release date for Second Voyage (obviously)
- Current state of One Piece on U.S. TV (Cartoon Network? Nicktoons? wot?)
- Are they still working on Season 3 or has production stopped to work on Season 2?
- Ask them if they'd ever consider holding Voice Acting sweepstakes for OP fans to voice some background characters ;)
-
2. We think Funi is as clueless as we are.
-
@AWB:

I know that, yet there's no reason to not ask them.

@Yuugi's:

Not just a few. A LOT. I think, but I'm not positive, I think Speed Grapher might be the only dub that FUNi has used the f-bomb in. But don't quote me on that.
In any case, I find it VERY unlikely that such language would ever appear in the One Piece dub. I think the worst we'll get is "bastard" and maybe "bitch".
-
i finished it today, took me less then a day, i just couldn't get enough.
it's just so awesome to see the first episodes done right, it's so great.
only i fergot i only had 13 eps of it. T^T
get 2nd voyage out asap funi~! T______T
-
You do know FUNImation don't publish the games, they only work with the publisher to provide voicing and termonology. It's also very unlikley that we'll get the older games unless somesort of compilation game is made for the Wii/PS3 or something.
First off, I know they don't publish the games but they're still involved. So if they were they would at least know something (doesn't mean they're allowed to tell). Also, you can't be sure that they WONT release older games.
Dragonball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 (8 years after it's original release) & Dragonball GT: Final Bout (6 years after it's original release) were Playstation 1 games, very crappy ones at that, but they were released here in 2004 in the states. Mind, they weren't dubbed by FUNimation but they still had their logo on the cover as well as before the opening of the games.
DBZ was a landmark series in the states, but it was almost dead here by 2004 so even if One Piece doesn't become a landmark series I say there's a chance.
I've been watching Speed Grapher on IFC, there's at least one F-bomb in each episode. Some have tons, they also say "shit" and other explicit dialogue. But that's cause of just how adult the series of Speed Grapher is, it fits.
-
I concur with the Second Voyage release date as well as the single angle issue. Maybe you can also ask if they have any special guest VAs in the pipeline :D.
-
Funi updated the main site but it's not quite finished yet.
-
Finally a web update, it was about time, hopefully it will be updated constantly.
-
I just watched a little bit o' heaven. I honestly didn't remember the first couple of episodes being that good. Damn, I love One Piece.:happy:
Besides being able to watch in crystal clear, vibrant color on an HD TV with 5.1 surround sound, the writing is spot-on. I had a smile on my face the whole time. -
I'm glad they updated the page but do they need to put
It is the era of adventure, as countless souls are lured along the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams far greater than any they’ve ever dared to imagine. Wealth, fame, power…It’s all available for the taking to the lucky soul that can find it: The legendary One Piece.
on every page?
-

Hot damn it's about time. There's been barely any hype for "One Piece" what with it being off T.V. but it seems like it's certainly been worth the wait. I hope FUNimation has a full marketing plan in store beyond this site. This reminds of when Toei Animation re-did their American website. I was impressed and thought it was a sign of them getting more involved with their North American fans. Sadly they haven't done much yet :sad:
-
New website looks great! It actually inspired me more to work on OP-C.

What's OP-C?
Damnit why do I have to have 16 characters in my posts? No one cares? What do you want me to fill up my posts with a certain amount of space 'cause it makes you feel better about yourself? And hey, why stop at 16 characters, there's so many multiples of 16 the possibilities are endless. How 'bout 32? Or perhaps a good old-fashioned 64? You know 64 is the lucky number for video games. There's the Nintendo 64, the Commodore 64, Mega 64 . . .
Aww now look what you made me do! You made me go off into la-la land because you wanted me to fill up space with more characters, characters that didn't need to be there because my question was just fine the way it was! Well I hope you're happy now you sick, twisted sonuvabitch.

One Piece-Central, a OP fansite I've been trying to get off my lazy ass and work on. The goal of it unlike other fansites is simply to bring all known info & media about One Piece together into one place (hence Central) with credits where it's due. Kinda like a privately maintained Wikipedia in a form of a fansite with credit given for the info. I know it's not needed, but it's a way to show my love for the series.
Back on topic, only 11 days till the set hits stores. I still can't decide rather I should buy it or just wait so I can buy OP collectibles.
-
I helped with the coding =D
Oh BTW Buuhan, I can do php now if you need help with that. -

Thanks, I think there should be more "One Piece" fansites.
Anyway, just buy the set. Haven't you been anticipating it for a while?
-
Got it in the mail today. Been marathoning it.
God dammit, this is how the series should've been from day one! God damn did FUNi hit it out of the park. I feel like I should show up at Mike MacFarland's house with, like, 800 high-priced hookers, while dressed in a fat suit and green hat, and just say; "You want it?! It's _your_s, my friend!"
And kudos for retaining Buggy's "f-bombs"!
-

Of course I have! I edited my sig over 60 times each and everyday before I found this counter. But the simple fact is I got limited money and I figure the set isn't limited it'll keep being produced, things such as Portrait of Pirates PVC statues are heavily limited. I'm not complaining, this was the choice I made.
I turn 18 in 5 months, I best find a job soon after.
@Q: PHP makes things easier I believe, but I think OP-C is gonna largely just be HTML.
-
PHP sorta is HTML though… I mean you can do HTML and save it as PHP and insert it and.... well never mind I'll explain it to you later XD

Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout was released in the US back in 1997. It was only rereleased here in 2003 due to high demand.
-
Their site looks even better now but they need to put up a few more sections soon. Also I saw an ad on their site for the DBZ season 5 set. It had 3 pictures of Vegeta crushing his scouter with the words "It's over 9000!" next to it. A weird thing to do for the cell saga.
-
Wow lol..
They finally got around to updating that site.
It's funny, and even more convenient, that they have the released DVDs stacked side by side, to that you know what's been released.Good stuff, good stuff.
"It's over 9000!" next to it. A weird thing to do for the cell saga.
False advertising? :D
-
I'm glad they updated the page but do they need to put
on every page?
I guess that's just filler until they get more content up?
But wait, I thought the thing on every page was Luffy kicking at the screen with the words "content to appear here later!" or whatever.
-
Is it uhm… too late to submit a question for ACEN? I just want to know how the DVDs are selling.
-
Hey guys, just to inform the set may be in retail stores now. Why? I was at my Wal-Mart yesterday and they have Dragonball Z Season Five in. That set's street date is May 27th too. My Wal-Mart is selling it for $29.92, cheaper than season four which is still being sold for $32.
Sadly, they didn't have One Piece.
@GaryPotter: I'm aware, but I don't consider that a real release due to it only being 10,000 copies.
-
The closed the one piece site for Matenince I hope they're working on something good.
-
Haha, I bet it was shut down for high traffic and not enough bandwith.
-
It's working just fine for me and no it's still the same as it was yesterday.
-
Site's the same for me too.
Do you guys think Toonami will show a commercial for First Voyage like they did Movie 8?
-

I think so. I mean they have a 30-seconf version of the trailer on their YouTube page, I imagine that's formatted to be a T.V. commercial.
-
Yeah, cutting out Kuro slashing Merry. Awww… XD
-
Hey, guys. I got back from Acen today and met Caitlin Glass. I asked her to sing Compass in English for me, and she did (for the most part). Here's the video my friend recorded of me asking her (I'm the Luffy cosplayer).
She also said FUNi didn't finish East Blue yet. They're still in the 20s, apparently…
-
Caitlin looks pretty! Your costume was cool too. :P I wonder if FUNi has a "special edition" of Movie 8 in the works?
