Will you buy the Funimation One Piece Season 1 box set?
-
We got ours from Amazon. >_>
-
wow Dythim posted in here. HI DYTHIM =D
Nice to know you fansubbers are enjoying the Funi dub
-
Many fansubbers are the first people to go out and buy the anime they subtitle, after all they're that invested in the show that buying it would come naturally.
-
Oh and I wasn't implying that they wouldn't buy it =P
It's just nice to know that everyone is enjoying it so much
-
Yep. Really I'm not watching the DVD for the dub, if it was just the Japanese version I'd probably buy it. Everyone's just so excited about it 'cause it's the exact same thing that came out in Japan in 1999, only in English, but if that's what makes it so great I don't see the point of making a distinction between sub and dub. Maybe if this was right after 4Kids bailed out on it, but anime is anime if you just tell it the same way the creators originally intended.

Don't assume things. He only said he bought it.
-
Just got it this afternoon and i'm now watching it.
-
I'm ordering my copy next Wednesday, I'm really looking forward to it; it's a shame that there aren't any plans as of yet to release it in the UK. It'd save me having to import it all the time. xD
-
already finished all 13 episodes on tuesday and need Funimation to dub the next 13 episodes already.
-
Just ordered it off Amazon today, I can't wait to get it.
-
I'm gonna wait for a price drop. I know! i'm cheap! but imagine how much it'll cost to get to the end of Alabasta. If Funi sticks to the 13 per set, it would be 10 sets (ep 130)!
-
I'm anxious to get to the Arlong Arc.
-
You know, the one thing that worries me is how they will handle Skypeia when they get to it. Hear me out here, but I think it may be another DBZ case where they were doing an absolutely amazing job redoing all of the Saiyan and Namek sagas, but got lazy and just reinput their old dub job for the rest of the series. (i.e. Frieza and beyond). I just hope they don't do the same with One Piece because the dub they have started is absolutely fantastic, and the entire series deserves the same treatment as the first thirteen episodes.

It's $21 at walmart.com. It's NOT going to get cheaper than that.

D'OH!!!When my brother and I last checked that page, it was $38. Goddammit, I knew I should'a waited…

Online or at the store? cause… damn!
-

Online.
If the website gets the second boxset, I'll order it from there with my brother's discount. -
is the $21 due to your bro's discount?
-
is the $21 due to your bro's discount?
No, the $21 is the price that the website is selling it normally.
But oh well, it's already on it's way to me.
That's all that matters. -
Finally completed my "current" Funpiece collection. First Voyage and Unlimited Adventure came in this week and I didn't even have to pay for the latter.
-
you excited for "Unlimited Cruise" pt 1 and 2?
-
Went to my Wal-Mart yesterday, they aren't selling it. So that's that. I wont be getting the DVD till the price drops at Best Buy or something, sorry FUNi…
-
Buuhan, sorry this is off topic.. but your Avatar is great! Toshiro Mifune?
-

Yup I sure am. I just gotta get me a wii now.
-

Indeed it is. Yojimbo rocks. (I still gotta see that movie solidly through, as well as his others movies, this has been the only one. Yes, I have never seen the Seven Samurai. I'm a disgrace.)

You can probably special order it from your walmart or order online and get it to ship to your wal mart.
-
On the Walmart site, it says the box set is only online, but it can be delivered to your nearest Walmart. Has anyone ever gotten something from Walmart that way?

I have. Basically it sends it to the Walmart of your choice. As soon as you get the confirmation e-mail that it has arrived at said Walmart, you print it out and take it there at the site-to-store counter and pick up the item you ordered.
-
If anyone cared they aired the One Piece Season 1, First Voyage commerical again. Just a few minutes ago right before Inuyasha came on.

The commercial has been airing several times on CN, heck it even aired when 'Animal school musical' was showing commercials.
-
So… now we play the waiting game concerning when the next set of DVD's come out.
-
Well, I picked it up on Friday and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Voices are excellent, no cuts, all the stuff you'd expect. I'm very happy with Kuro's voice. I actually thought the English accent they did in the 4Kids dub was pretty good, but FUNi topped it effortlessly with no accent at all. He's caring and worried one minute and ruthless and cutthroat the next. The whole facade is perfect.
Also, I never really realized quite how long this show was until now I thought I'd at least get to see Kuro in action other than just dicing up Merry like that. Oh, well. I guess it's something to look forward to for Second Voyage.
-
Well I'm not buying. I don't like the dub THAT much. Besides I'm poor. I use my money for haircuts, clothes, games and the like. I can't even complete my Black Cat series collection.
…..Don't hurt me.

WHOOOOT!!

Well you'll just have to go naked and let your hair grow because these sets need to be bought!

I hear yah.
I dunno, i'm the kind of guy that once I buy a set, I have to own the entire series! But these 13 episodes sets are going to get brutal overtime. I really respect the way funimation is producing this dub, but then again, I prefer the original track anyways. I just wonder is it worth it for me? I want to own them and would very much want to avoid bootlegs.
I'm sure I don't have a better plan to release them (funi has to make a profit and I don't know shit as far as how much they spend to produce this), but a few more episodes would be nice. At least 18-20 or something.
Once I get a better job, i'll probably be more inclined. Especially if they keep a steady release schedule.

All of it I can understand, but games… is just as bad as cartoons.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but I'm pretty sure it's hypocritical.
-
He's saying he's poor yet he can afford to buy games which cost about as much as the DVDs. It seems it's less of a matter of being financially deficit and more of an issue of priorities i.e. GAMES>DVDS
-
IMO, games have more lasting power than Cartoons…. good games that is.

You just hate me don't cha?
Well, matters. See for me I rather watch 13 episodes of One Piece for $40 instead of playing Sonic and Mario at the Olympics for $50.

Good signs here. -
Will likely order Friday if I get paid (conflicting reports about when payday is at my new job >.<) :)

If it means anything, I had been really disappointed in the dub right around the time it was taken off Cartoon Network,but i love the way the dvd dub turned out. I still prefer the japanese voices but so far I've found myself only watching the dub so far!
Colleen's Luffy gets sooo much better around ep4 and on. The whole Buggy arc was really well done.I feel like Sonny's Usopp is a bit too silly sounding sometimes when he should sound genuine and serious(like pretty much EVERY crying scene sounds really goofy instead of half like in the original) but overall the strawhats sound great and the extras and villains are perfect so far. I really hope Vale's put in some work to improve his Sanji voice atleast a little. I really appreciate how much Sabat's Zoro has improved and because of that his voice is my favorite right now.

I mostly agree with it. Except the dumbass claims that the commentary is missing.
