So anyway, because this is apparently relevant to the thread: I just got a message saying that my set shipped. Yay! What's strange though, is that I also ordered volume 1 of Lucky Star along with One Piece, yet that hasn't shipped yet. I just find it a bit ironic that the DVD that came out ten days ago hasn't been sent, while the set that shouldn't be out for another 11 days has shipped… (Note that I did not buy it from RightStuf, and didn't really expect it to ship before the release-date, so this was a pleasant surprise indeed.)
Will you buy the Funimation One Piece Season 1 box set?

-
Well, my set is apparently in the UPS truck and on its way. The tracking info says it left the distribution hub or whatever at around 5AM, and it's almost 3:30 now… Seems my house must be on the outer skirts of the truck's route, so it's taking its sweet time getting here.
Just my luck. :getlost:
-
where on the dvds is the commentary?
-
I believe only the first episode has it. (on audio track 3)
But then again, I don't order things online, so I won't actually have the DVD until it is released into stores..
-
Go to the Episode menu on disc 1, and under the episode 1. It will say Episode with commentary then click on it.

i hear the dub is full of cursing… how is the sub? i know originally there was sparse cursing, but did funi decide to sub it as bad as the dub? i myself really hate cursing, but can understand a "damn" and "ba****d" here or there, but if everyone is cursing like drunkards with the F word and "s**t" every sentance or close to it, im not gonna buy this set. just me i guess, but i cant stand even reading curses. and to me cursing just is reallly stupid and ruins it. sorry if someone said something earlier about the subs, cant find anything.
-
The set doesn't really have that much cussing mostly the standred damn, hell, bastard, and piss off. Hell most of those aren't really curse words anymore.
-
I got my set and so far have watched episodes 1-4. They're awesome! I love FUNi and their awesome dub. All the voices fit, save for a few that could have been better such as Kuina and Rika(I think that's her name. She's the girl who gave Zoro rice balls). Still, I love Funi for putting out such a wonderful set! Hopefully they'll release all the episodes.
-
I know it's TV14 and everything and I'm not ranting or saying it's inappropriate but I just watched episode 7 and counted a total swear count in the upper 20's….
-
It sounds like the DVDs are great! Of course I won't miss the chance to see One Piece dubbed the way it was supposed to be, so my cash is going straight to Funimation. I can't wait for Arlong Park!
-
@Mr.:
I can't wait for Arlong Park!
I'm sure that the same can be said for all of us at Arlong Park.
-
In the anime, not the forum, Lobster. But yeah, that is very true.
-
Pre-ordered mine off Amazon.com this evening. It's due to ship June 2 (plus a CD - Queen) - whoo-hoo!
-
Good God, eighteen days and still nothing! This is the last time I mail order something!

My advice:
Don't buy it. If you're that freaking sensitive over a few little swear words that you can't even READ or TYPE them, you won't like this. They say damn, hell, bitch and piss off which I'm sure you consider just awful. Funi wanted to do a faithful dub, so rather than ruin it and please about two people who cringe every time they hear a swear, they did what they were supposed to. Because, SURPRISE! there's swearing in the Japanese version. And even on these forums, people will swear. Sucks to be you, I guess.They're pirates, it's rated TV-14. Get over it. Go and watch the 4Kids dub because I'm guessing if you cry about a little swearing here and there, you won't like the blood, drinking, smoking and violence. However, I'm sure you'll find the poison suction cups, cork guns and puns very appealing.

Quexinos, just pwned that guy so bad. That it deserve an Krankor laugh from me.

I know, lol.
this set was real good. Cant wait til the next. infact, to thank funi, we need a human sacrifice

DAaammmnnn Quexinos, I didn't know you had it in you.
-
ZING, Super-Quexi to the rescue.
Anyway, my set finally arrived. It's fantastic, and everything is done wonderfully. I've been watching the dub with the Japanese subtitles to compare the dialogue, and it's amazingly well-done and accurate. I've almost finished the first disc, and I'm loving Buggy so far.
-
Still waiting….
Oh well.
got 10 days left for it ito be released from amazon. -
No need to over do it guys, it makes our side look like elitist dicks.
-
Um,
That's the idea ;)
Reputation exploitation is just another means to respect.

Just got the set today and I pretty much agree with the general consensus. The dub is pretty spot on in terms of dialogue. There are some minor (and sometimes a little too deviant, depending on the voice actor) changes, but it's for the sake of the lip synching. I really enjoyed the cast commentary. Especially how Chris Sabat had the balls to admit the changes in their "Dragon Ball Z" treatment and how they were actually going for a more spot on dub this time around, so kudos to them. I giggled at his comment about how he voiced like 12 different characters in the series, when FUNimation was at its dormant stage. Hell, he's practically the voice for the company.
Being the anime purist that I am, I actually found myself enjoying the US voices a bit more than when they did the stuff for the broadcast version. But that's probably because I'm getting a better understanding of the general voice actors and what they were opting for via the commentary. The packing and menu options are really nice too. The treasure chest designs look real sleek combined with the slim covers for the discs. The inside of the slim covers have a pseudo-Grand Line map. The menu options go for the same design as well. A lot of the music choices for the menu options were great too. There a whole lotta good things going for these set, and if you're a One Piece fan, I absolutely see no reason not to buy this set and future ones. Hopefully, this will see a rise of interest in the series and Viz can get around to giving the One Piece manga a Naruto treatment to speed up those releases. Waiting 4 months really sucks. But perhaps that's just being too hopeful.

Holy… :blink:
Can't help but feel a little sorry for the kid. Even if I do agree 100% on this here.

List please?
Also, I mean cursing, not kindergarten-cursing.
Ex: Hell and other extremely light words that are only cursing when used in a certain context.

That's fucked up.

Isn't it?
_<
kindergarten-cursing.
Kindergardeners curse?
Even though I don't have the DVD yet, -_0 there is one clip I saw that looked like a bit of "dialog overkill". That one like when Zoro threatens the little girl. Instead of having Zoro say, "Don't make me kick your @ss little girl!!".. Sabat could have said "Don't make me eat you!!" Or something of that nature.. or not yawn _0_

I'm pretty sure if an episode has curse words over 20 times, its not a faithful dub. At least when I think of One Piece, I do not think of it cursing so much, I think of the occasional needed for emphasize due to us not being able to think of any other words but to a minimal.
You could have a little respect for how people were raised. Just because your fine with something as harmless as cursing, he isn't. I know parents that get really up set to the point they run out of the room crying cause some one said "Fuck".
You should learn to be more tolerable and less ignorant.
All he asked was on simple question, he's get a big rant and 5 or 6 people getting in his face. That was uncalled for.
-
Well judging by what I'm hearing..
It seems that Funi is adding even more curses into the dub then Kaizoku Fansubs did with the subs.
How woefully ironic
! WOEFULLY IRONIC

WhYDikp9pYE&feature=relatedUm, it doesn't seem like that to me. From what I've heard, they don't say "shit" or "shitty bastards" or anything like that. It doesn't sound like anything over the top and I don't see little kids having potty mouths like they do in fansubs.
-
I need someone to check/confirm something for me. In Episode 3 when Luffy fights Morgon, right before Luffy says "I'm Luffy! Nice to meet ya" the screen sorta vibrates before the "zoom in" on Luffy. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because of FUNI's encoding/my DVD player/TV.

Not sure of your definition of "kindergarten-cursing", but Xepher was probably referring to ass, hell, damn, and bastard. (I counted 26 in Ep 7)
As far as context…here's a few lines:
"damn flashy idiot"
"What the hell kind of monster are you?"
"acrobat my ass"
"annoying little bastard"
"to hell with that"
"you dumbass"
well...you get the idea....I have no problems with swearing and don't care to debate its place in OP - just wanted to explain what's in that particular episode.
-
Those type of curses can be shown on broadcast television. Really, just PG-13 level cursing here.
-
The curses sound natural to me. They don't feel forced. Even if they weren't necessarily said in the original, it sounds natural enough for me to be perfectly content.

That zoom thingy was in the original too, if I recall. So yeah, it's not just your DVD or player.
-
Buying when its available on amazon ^^
-
Depends on what you mean by available.
Do you mean when they're selling it, or when it's in their stock?
-
I just preordered it! Hopefully it'll get to me soon.
-
Nearly three weeks since he placed his order
Patience, patience…
-
Did you order from rightStuf? You might want to check it if went through okay.
-
I ordered mine on May 6 and got it on the 16th. I live in California, so I guess you can figure out how your info compares.

@Yuugi's:

Set not even officially out yet
No point in complaining. I placed my order nearly three weeks ago too, and I haven't recieved it either. Though it has shipped Evil laugh. -
I ordered on Right Stuf…on a bloody mail order. >.>
-
by any chance are you guys talking about this?
http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/GeCB9qICnqLxmxp36g/browse/item/78085/4/0/0
cause it says it is not for sale yet its just pre-orders.
How are you guys getting it?
and lol the price went up I bought it when it was 37 bucks.
-
That would be the one, hbk. Those of us that have received it did indeed purchase it through RightStuf.
-
it says not yet released :wassat:
-
I know, but that's the one. If I had to guess, perhaps Funimation got in touch with RightStuf when they found out the site was shipping the DVDs early (a month early…I received mine a few weeks ago) and requested that they no longer ship them until the 27th, the actual release date.
-

What?I feel like I got tried….
anyhow in my defense the release is the 27 and says not yet shipping.
lol
-
Well they possibly stopped shipping early.
Seems FUNi didn't much like it…. They didn't find it FUNi at all.
