It's the ending theme-song in Movie 8. They said that they were going to have an english version of it on the DVD, but they forgot to add it, so the japanese song played on both language-tracks.
ohh. thanks! …and now i know.

HAPPY DELAYED BIRTHDAY TO ME!
My friend came over this morning and gave me Dragonball Z Season 3 today (I have 1,2 and 4), and then surprised me with One Piece. Can't wait to watch this!
Well I bought the DVD today, Havent watched it. But I noticed theres no labels with Special features, so I feel alittle screwed that there are not special features.

Except the commentary-track in episode 1, that's true. Extras aren't exactly FUNi's speciality. Their dubs (except Dragonball) are excellent, and they've also got the best subtitles I've ever seen on an official anime-release, but they rarely have any extras except textless openings and endings plus a few trailers. (Trailers aren't even extras!)
Ha, so I went to Best Buy to buy the set, but I saw that it wasn't on the shelf. So I decided to look for it under new releases, but I saw a bunch of boxes, and looked through every single one of them until I found the set. I noe have it, and am a very happy boy.
…..oh yeah~! it's released today. i fergot it wasn't already out. xD
Just got in the mail today
just a question:
do Many you believe the Ep titles were translated correctly? or at least pretty translated ok?
My brother's next day off is this Thursday, so I'll see if he'll take me to Walmart, so I can look for the DVDs. Or if they're even gonna get 'em…

They're fine to me.
Why would they not be? You honestly don't take K-F's word over Clyde Mandelin's, do you?
I;m broke thanks to buying the boxset yesterday,but i totally dont regret it! It turned out really well! I just want more extras and I'd be really content!
As soon as I get home from this convention, I'll buy it :D
Did they do a good job with translation and dubbing?
Yes. It is really the best available in both fields.
I got the boxset today. I watched up to episode 7 and will probably watch a couple more. I do think that they did go a bit overboard with the swearing sometimes though. It seems like they're trying to appeal to the subbie fanboys. But I don't mind all that much. I guess I would prefer to have a little much swearing over hardly any at all.
Well its finally out now! Time to close the polls…......
How do I do that?? Or should I keep them on?
It was ridiculous finding this damn box set. If FUNimation wants us to buy it, they could send it to stores for people to buy. I had to go to the overly priced F.Y.E. for its only copy.
You sure people just didn't buy them all up?
@Yuugi's:

I never seen the KF subs so thats why I asked.
Wait, the way you are wording you post really makes it seem like they had a high chance of being inacccurate. As far as I know the titles are the ones Mandelin translated and were not altered for the English version (like with what is done on DBZ).
Any how, the DVD is up to #2 on FUNi, I hear.
Well, I recieved some kinda notice from RightStuf a couple days ago, so hopefully that means my copy will be coming in soon. But it might take a little longer than it has for you guys since for where I am right now, it has a long way to ship. I'm hoping I get it before the end of the week~

Well, I tried to find it today, but the problem is that I live in hickass Warrenton, VA so I couldn't find it. I checked Wal-Mart and Borders which were the only stores that I thought would carry it, and of course neither did. Well, I placed an order at Borders (since I had to order another book anyway) so they should let me know when it gets in stock.
Oh, and the day wasn't a total loss since I did at least manage to get the Indiana Jones trilogy.
I watched the first disk. I really enjoyed it, the dub is very good, they had me laughing and as into the first episodes as I was when I first watched the orginial Japanese dub. They were spot on, I really just hope this sells good because I would love more.
@Yuugi's:

We called all the stores, they never heard about it. Wallmart, K-mart, Sears, Meiyers, etc.
Best Buy got 1 copy, which got bought before we go there.
FYE had one copy, which I got, thank god.
Yeah, and why I want to be optimistic… I'm sorry, One Piece isn't just gonna be selling out at places, especially right after it's release. Even the most popular shit to general audiences don't do that.
I'm gonna have to order mine from the Best Buy in Savannah, because I don't have any way of getting there this time.
This sucks! I have the money in my pocket, but no stores are carrying the set! Wal-mart's website says that they're selling it, but my local Wal-mart doesn't have it! >.<
Yeah. In fact, that's the thing that most worries me. One Piece isn't being sold in stores like Walmart and the like while Naruto, Bleach and the others are… I mean, for goodness sake, my Walmart had everything BUT One Piece... And, no, it wasn't because it was sold out.
So if it's not, it'll never reach the sales of those shows. Simply because it's not being sold in as much stores as the other are.
Maybe when it does start selling, Walmart and the like will wanna get in on the action?
I dunno.
This is the same as what everyone was saying when Unlimited Adventure came out then i went to my gamestore and it was right there…>.>
I bet my Wal Mart got it, but im waiting till the price goes down...or id rather buy a game for my 360 but i will get the box set one day

Yep not popular at all.
It doesn't have to completely sell out to warrant more DVD releases anyway.
While it's great it's selling great online, not being sold in as many stores as other titles could hurt it.
Unless they start selling it in more places.
Maybe all the staff members at the places they aren't being sold are lying and they really are there and they wanna keep them to themselves.
Now THAT'S thinking positive.
XD now that'd be something…
You have to also consider that costumer service people aren't always reliable. And I seriously doubt that every single Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. in the country doesn't have "One Piece" in stock.
And besides, "One Piece" doesn't have to perform up to the level of other established series to be a success.

It's actually perfectly normal for Walmart not to get a new product in stock untill after a week or two after it's been released. A lot of DVDs/games have been like that for me. It's even been that way for NARUTO. When I'm impatient and have the money, I'll usually go the Best Buy. But Walmart will more than likely get the DVD set sooner or later. They got the movie.

That's what I was thinking.
Because I see the movie there all the time now, so I'm still thinking Wally World will eventually get it.

OH yeah that's a good point, I'm reminded of when I called three theaters asking for the OP movie and none of them knew what it was. But it was showing at every single one.
Wal-mart sucks anyway. They had movie 8 for a few weeks at mine but then took them all back. I had money ready for them. Oh well Ill take my business somewhere else. :P
I bought mine yesterday, and I've already watched the first four.
I can't wait to watch all of the Buggy story :)
I just picked up my copy at HMV, on for 37-ish bucks.
Hehe, yay!
Just bought mine today from Best Buy, So far I'm digging it, A LOT!
For the people who said no. Can you explain why you won't buy it.
I wont buy it because I have seen the first season like 5 times already. It has been repeated on TV over and over again here in Germany. The differences between the German dub and the original nothing like the ones between original and 4kids. Yes there are cuts but its not worth seeing it jet another time. Especially if it costs 50$.
Btw: German Dub is at episode ~310 already. I guess Funimation won't see much money of my money
Well it wasn't at my Walmart, that's for sure.
Of course, they had all the Naruto boxsets, the DBZ releases that came out the same day AS One Piece… And F'ing Vexile.
Proven sellers, Naruto and Dragonball Z are. Yeessss…[/Yoda]

What the hell is Vexile?
Vexile is some movie that release in theathers around the same time, when the One Piece Movie 8 was in theathers, which also done by Funi.
Does it have any relationship with this?
watching it now as we speak…quite interesting so far.
I agree with Roman for once, One Piece does need to be in stores like Wal-Mart for it to get great sales. Sorry, but that's the truth. I didn't say it needs to be to "get by" but to get great sales, Wal-Mart or keep on walking.
I'm confident my Wal-Mart isn't gonna get it as it had all of FUNi's May 27th releases out early by no One Piece.
@Snowmint: Exact same with me, man.
Well do we know ALL Walmarts don't have it?
