what if 4kids went like band swerced up really really really bad they gave over to funimation. do u think that they'll start form episode 1 and then go on. also do u think they'll keep luffy's and zoro's voice the same. and change the rest.also,would they change back "zolo" to zoro. this would be awesome if this happened. they could realse the first season in box sets.

I wouldn't be buying R2 DVDs

If FUNimation got One Piece, I'd believe in the existance of God.
-
Yeah that would be a christmas miracle like thing because I heard people in FUNimation said it was good series. I think that they would use all the voices they have and pull an FB on it, and even though I haven't seen FB yet I'm planning to and on seeing why people say it a good dub. Also I wonder though, who would play Luffy and Chopper.

[snapback]1903[/snapback]I am sorry, what are you refering to when you say FB cause I am just not following you on this one.

Everytime I watch Funi's FMA I weeped in envy. Because, although not perfect, they're doing a good dub job with the series and seems to really like the series (Ed's VA watch fansubs!), and I remembered the horror that is 4Kids' One Piece of crap.
-
One Piece would be on Toonami. That's all I have, I mean it would be better, but you know, it's not hard to do better than 4Kids.
-
I remember reading some time ago that Chris Sabbat was wanting to voice Zoro if Funi got the series.
-
It would have been treated better, and I would be much happier.
I still can't believe this is happening to the series…if Naruto gets picked up by Funimation I'll be angry.

[snapback]1971[/snapback]I can't say I approve… of him voicing anything. But I would have loved FUNimation to get their hands on One Piece. At least I'm sure they would have kept the original music and used a dubbed opening. (yeah, I know, but it's better than nothing)
-
If Funi did it they'd at least keep in the goddamned blood and wonds….
Yeah I think Funi would have done alot better job.. even with the voices... I mean dubbed Sanji sounds like a gangsta barny rubble with a blocked nose for the love of ra.
-
it would be gum gum Pistol!
NOT BLAST!!! -
Fantastic Elastic Blast!
-
I remember reading some time ago that Chris Sabbat was wanting to voice Zoro if Funi got the series.
imagines Zoro with Vegeta's, Piccolo's, or Kuwabara's voiceOh god, no. Marc Diraison(the guy who plays him in the dub) is perfect for him. But I'm sure if FUNi got OP, they'd get someone just as good or better to play Zoro.
I still can't believe this is happening to the series…if Naruto gets picked up by Funimation I'll be angry.
Naruto better get lisenced by 4Kids too. All those damned Narutards laughing when One Piece was lisenced. So if the dub of OP goes to hell, the dub of Naruto had better go to hell too, just so I can watch the Narutards suffer.

Id prefer if Viz got it. There would be different voices per character, not the same 8. Look at Inuyasha. Sure they made crap…(Rockman EXE) but many dubs are great.
-
I think that if FUNimation got OP then it would've turned out to be a lot better dub. Of course I haven't seen the current dub so I don't know what it's like, but all I know is that it's crap and I have no desire to see it. I probably woudl watch it if FUNimation got it, but I doubt it. I've gotten spoiled by K-F subs.
-
if they got it it would be good./

If Funimation did One Piece, we wouldn't have this topic.
(I feel sorry for the first person who loves the dubbed episodes joins this site. Almost everyone would tear that kid a new one.)

[snapback]1971[/snapback]…....................Heavenly. Also Stephanie Nadolny (Gohan,Kid Goku) was going to play Luffy according to Chris Sabat in an interview. When Funimation gets One Piece I will streak across my Mall like a maniac all the while spraying the walls and floors with ''STUFF" that will be spraying out of my "firehose" (that's what Viz called it in Shaman King) that will will be so strong it will make a Super Soaker look like a Dollar store squirt gun. Resulting in the Guards having to beat me down and tie me up. LOL.
FUNimation,please buy Bleach
-
Will be like DBZ, YuYu, the guns will be kept. will air prime time since Toonami is on Saturday.
-
If Funimation got One Piece I would be happy, very happy. I'd actually have a One Piece series I could watch in English. And the best part is Funi usually/occasionally release DVD's before putting it on TV, we could also watch it in Japanese!!!! Yay!!!!! I sure hope they get it because I don't think the 4Kids building can last much longer from raging fans tremoring the ground like an earthquake. lol And Zoro's name would definitely be Zoro, because for instance although they changed the title of Detective Conan, Conan's name is still Conan. And Funi wouldn't give us all that trademark crap.
And there wouldn't be a "ON THE NEXT PIECE OF ONE PIECE". And yes blood would not be edited on Toonami as much as 4Kids, just look at how much blood they left in GT and Goku at least was naked once from behind. Goku's crack wasn't edited out. VIZ take that. lol. And I wonder who would play who, besides who Chris Sabat said would play Luffy/Stephanie Nadolny and Zoro/Chris Sabat. These voices would be better than 4Kids trash. But Nami would need a really good voice at Funi because Nami's Japanese voice, Akemi Okamura, already does a perfect job. And Nami is the best character, anyway. -
I think i would like it… I havent watched the japan version but i know its better... :mellow:

[snapback]2881[/snapback]i think stephanie would be a good fit. tho she have to make him sound more like a tennager. idk bout chris about zoro. he might due a good job, but id perfer marc better like now.

While that would be interesting how funimation would handle One Piece , I just think it's not gonna happen.. That's why i'm not waiting for that to happen, because it's just gonna make me more sad the longer i wait for a re-dub of the series.. Now i know it's hard to do but if you want to see a dubbed version of One Piece you're better off watching the 4 kids version instead of waiting for Funimation to do a re-dub. Because like most of it's other shows 4Kids will proboally keep it..For better or for worse. And you can also always watch it subbed. I'm personally waiting for One Piece uncut dvds! And since they have released uncut Yu-gi-oh and Shaman King dvd's, that is a very possible outcome!
-
If Funi got the dub, I wouldn't have the CEO of 4kids tied up in my basement.
-
If FUNI got One Piece, I'd also believe there is a God, and that I'd die a happy man. For some damn reason, I really like FUNI, and I'd trust them doing a good job.
-
If Funi were to get the rights, it would be a little better, but in order to put it on TV, they would have to make the same edits as 4kids. Just because another studio does a dub doesn't mean the FCC and Cartoon Network will loosen their decency standards
-
The answer to the topic's title:
It would still suck, albeit less.

[snapback]86876[/snapback]I can't see how Funimation would think it necessary to make the idiotic edits that 4kids has made like changing Marines to Navy, erasing words from clothing on characters, mixing two or three episodes into one more than once, cork guns, taking out the music, making a rap intro, etc. So saying that funimation would make the same edits as 4kids did is basically ignoring the differences between the two companies.
Funimation never went to these levels of stupidity when it comes to their editing.
I would be pretty freaking glad if Funimation were the ones who had the liscense instead of the shit filled assholes at 4kids.
-
Also, a Funimation release would most likely include a Japanese with subtitles version. In the first release. That alone makes it better.

[snapback]1971[/snapback]Zoro would so have a Vegeta-esque voice. :lol:
And at least Goonji would have a decent voice as well as Dubsopp
-
Well, you can consider me as not knowing anything, okay? What is funimation?
-
That would be cool, cause 4kids is doing a horrible job… I mean come on... SUPERSUCKERS?!?!?!
-
Funimation is the dubbing company that does Yu Yu Hakusho, all the Dragonballs, Fruit Basket, Full Metal Alchemist, and the also did the animated version of Never Ending Story.
They pretty muchkeep the old BG music (save DBZ and GT) smoking is kept (Roshie, Genkai, Dr. Brief) guns too. Apparantly they keep minimal nudity (DBZ/DB) and have said some bad words.
To sum it up a damn good company. -
I'm not convinced. You not only have to have a potentially decent dubbing house, but you have to ensure they're going the right direction in it.
If you dub OP with a target market age of six, I don't care who you have dubbing it
-
Except that Funimation doesn't come off as having the same target market age as 4kids much less the fact that they are willing to release uncut subs.
-
Didn't Funimation have One Piece at one time? I still have this video of an English version of "We Are!" on my comp., and I thought it was their's. Sanji had a lollipop in it though

Funimation has come a long way since,
Dragon Dragon Pump the Dragon, Dragon Ball Z!!!!!!
They might do a decent job but they need some new voice acting talent, and there own network so they don't have to edit out so much. -

[snapback]87178[/snapback]Funimation never had One Piece. That English We Are was 4Kid's doing.

Well at least in FUNi's version of the theme song Luffy wouldn't have taken a bite o' gum gum.

You know… it makes me wonder. FUNimation clearly knows what the anime fans want to see. They are real people who know how to live a little. 4Kids seems like it's being run by soccer moms and clones of my parents!
-
And if Funimation had One Piece, we could possibly see it uncut on TV. It might take 7 years, but I must say I've enjoyed watching DBZ Uncut every night for the past few weeks.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if in retrospect, Funimation wishes they had got a hold of OP instead of DC. Who knows. I know a lot of people sure do. 4Kids wouldn't go after DC. Too much murder.
I don't think we'd be seeing completely uncut OP on TV, though. It's more likely it would show on Toonami along with Naruto, and would be censored, just not nearly as much to ridiculous degrees, which would have been fine by me. And it would probably have the original score and better voice acting. I'm sure there would still be complaints, though. -
I think One Piece is doing better on 4Kidstv now. Really the only show that beats it in ratings is Sonic X. Of course this could be because of them showing reruns for most shows, especially Winx.

[snapback]87551[/snapback]Seriously why do you stand up for 4kids so much. Is it because they're your favorite dubbing company or something?
Funimation has shown that they can dub multiple series really well even if they have to make cuts. Even then the cuts are minor and don't affect the series.
How the heck can you compare THAT to 4kids and claim that 4kids is doing a "better" job when all of their edits have not only been stupid but for lame and stupid reasons.
At least if Funimation had One Piece it would of had a dub that people were HAPPY with. Especially the die hard fans. 4kids pretty much screwed the REAL fans for friggin preschoolers who probably care more about Transformers and micro machines or something.
