Plug the product for an audience who probably knows it exists and would buy it when they see it? Or plug it during other shows to try and get more of a reach?
Yeah, you've got a point there.

Not really. Plug the product for an audience who probably knows it exists and would buy it when they see it? Or plug it during other shows to try and get more of a reach?
Would help to grab the attention of people who've been watching since the 4Kids dub. Especially considering the DVD's being touted as being uncut and unedited.
Arent shows not allowed to "plug" there own prooducts during air time. Thats why you don't see Pokemon product commercials play during Pokemon.
The movie may not count as a 'product'. It'd be one thing if it were action figures or trading cards, but if an episode of One Piece is just a half-commercial all they're really plugging is another commercial. And the rules may not apply anyway being a cable network.

Sooo..
What did you think about tonight's trippy animation? (Shura vs. Gan Fall)
trippy
trippy
trippy
Seemed like a DBZ fight to me.
Funny, I kinda felt as if they were spamming the OP Alabasta movie commercial during Naruto. I saw it so many times.
DBZ fight?.. With LANCES?
I was talking about when they started twirling around each other, and there were lines from their previous positions.. So it was like some twisted whirl effect.
trippy

GOOD
It's only 2 seconds long anyway..
Definitely a DBZ fight with lances. Did ya not hear the Ki power up sound effects? :P
:ermm: Well, they're both made by Toei.
I dunno…
nostalgic,isnt it?
Id go through the midle way and serve al khan to the hungering.Fat bastard would fead 10 000 people on his vileness alone.
Would ya drop it already?
4Kids is behind us. This crap you're complaining about is a minor annoyance, left by a dying unpopular dubbing company and human error of not wanting to alienate a prior fanbase.
Kahn is a human being. I'm not his biggest fan either, but he did it for money. He didn't mean to anger so many fans, no matter how much it seems so. I think the fact that his project tanked and he made no money is punishment enough. We've got what we wanted so just drop it.
Anyway, Wyler does sound pretty stupid. Like Tsukento said, though, not as bad as Carnaby Skeet. It's odd, though, I remember Grand Adventure using Wyper.

Drop 3 years of horror, that's not that easy mixed with the quality factor of the show then it = "the you won't forget this easily" factor OVER 9,000!!!!
Aceburner, your avatar fit that perfectly. xD
and thank you to Chibigoku for the D/L's.
Thank you for the downloads, Chibs.
The commercial for the OP movie just aired. It rocked.
Pretty cool episode. Liked Sanjis "DELICIOUS!", and sanji in general sounds really really good.
Wyler (lol) didn't really sound like he could pull of SERIOUS, hopefully I'm wrong on that. Lakis voice was really nice.
Biggest shame was them not showing Satoris fucked face, so hilarious
Upset about Concasser, but I'll get over it.
Upset about Wiper's voice, but I'm not sure I'll be able to shrug that.
Wiper is the main protagonist outside of the Strawhats for this arc, so his voice should reflect that. He's also carrying the burden of saving his homeland. His voice is too generic and forgetable.
I considered his Japanese voice pretty generic and forgettable as well.
Also, while I'm displeased it's a change I'm gonna repeat what I said earlier.
WIPER = WYLER, BOTH RIDICULOUS NAMES.
Many things about this episode displeased me. The sheer number of them make me worry that there's no way Funi will fix them all.
Obviously things like Wyler and Loftra are crimes against good dubbing. This isn't like before with the Shichibukai where they just forgot to correct the subtitles. They're going all out with this bull!@#$.
I'm displeased about Sanji's finishing attack too. I guess that whole thing about attacks being left alone was just a bunch of lies. They also took several liberties with the speech he gave before the kick.
As for voices, Wyper was nothing to write home about but the others were all pretty decent. Aisa was pretty cute.
For the weekly Robin update… two months ago I would have considered her "Don't you think it's odd that a well would be stuck under a tree," too harsh. Because it was.
It's nice that she wasn't a complete raging bitch this week, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
_> I'm reconsidering tuning in tonight.
Maybe I'll watch again in two weeks or so.
@The:

It almost matches my actions at the time of composition.
I just get tired of people complaining about it as if the guy raped their grandmother. Especially considering the fact that 4Kids hasn't had the lisence for over a year now.

Do you overreact on purpose or something?
What was it I said before…..
Well point proven. Retarded complaints need to stop. If they aren't fixed for the DVD, then you have somewhat of a reason.

Are you fucking serious? Is he fucking serious?
There's nothing harsh or bitchy about that line at all, dude…
Geez…. Ok, I understand the Wyler thing. I really do. I mean, 4kids called him Wyler in the game, I kinda expected this.
However... Loftra.... Did 4kids mention it in the game too and change it? Because if they didn't, I am a TINY bit mad at Funimation for messing up that bad. I mean... COME ON! It wasn't that hard to make out the name Shandia!
There's gotta be another reason other then Funi for this. I KNOW.
Pretty sure Loftra/Loftrians was indeed a 4kids term.
Awesome! The hit wasn't flashed. Although "Concauser" wasn't said…
Great episode, though. Besides the name "Wyler"... Still don't get why they didn't go with "Wyper".
I don't like Wyper's English voice
That is all.
Do you overreact on purpose or something?
Yes. I'm sorry. I assumed the people in this thread had even the slightest inkling of intelligence and could pick out hyperbole when it's smacking them in the face with its balls.
@EvilGamerX:

If they aren't fixed for the DVD then it's too late. THAT'S when the bitching becomes pointless. Not before.
I mean, seriously. Did you even think that sentence out before you posted it?
"Stop pointing out things that COULD go wrong with the DVD so that they can be caught in time to fix. No no, wait for them to actually go wrong so that it's too late to do anything about. THEN you can complain. Sure, the DVD will be screwed up forever, but at least you'll be justified in your complaining and that's what's really important."
Are you fucking serious? Is he fucking serious?
There's nothing harsh or bitchy about that line at all, dude…
Well it's not, "So you're not gutless after all", but it's not right either.
"Don't you think it's odd that a well would be stuck under a tree…" is a retorical question. There is a subtext in the sentence saying "I can't believe I have to explain this to you." It's an explanation combined with a minor insult.
The original line is nothing but a pure answer. Zoro asked why the well was interesting. Robin answered by telling him exactly why the well was interesting. No subtext.
Since the original line is nothing but simple explanation, the dubbed line is more rude.
Of course, Zoro was kinda rude in the dub when he asked about it too, so really the whole scene is overly harsh. They're creating a sense of inner-crew tension where there previously was none, likely an attempt to somewhat Americanize the show as snarkyness between friends and co-workers is more the norm.

Loftra was 4kids screw up, not Funi's.

They are keeping them…but the person who wrote the script screwed up. Hopefully that shouldn't be on the DVDs.
It almost matches my actions at the time of composition.

Of course he rapes grandmothers.
All.

This is where common sense becomes useful. You can ask about things in a non-bitching matter at conventions. They will tell you what they are going with for the DVD. To get all whiny bitchy moan moan moan about something they said they would change is retarded. So if we could avoid stupidity and possibly pointless whining until someone asks politely at a con, that would be super. I will ask at NYCC if for the love of anything, it could stop this pointless crap. Bitching on a forum doesn't do shit.
I'm personally not upset at "Concasse" being absent at all. The line in it's place was just too damn good.
sigh And Charagon has made the thread depressing already. Come on, I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad. When you think about it the way he does, I bet EVERYTHING has a rude tone or subtext or whatever to it. Hell, I even sound rude right now, I'll admit.
But yeah. I'm considering it to be a safer path if I just come back to Fun Piece in two weeks.
@EvilGamerX:

Generally they will tell you where they've already gone with the DVD. You only get information about where they're going if you're very very lucky.
@EvilGamerX:
To get all whiny bitchy moan moan moan about something they said they would change is retarded.
If they have confirmed that every messed up name in this episode will definitely be 100% corrected, then I agree. But to my knowledge this hasn't happened.
@EvilGamerX:
So if we could avoid stupidity and possibly pointless whining until someone asks politely at a con, that would be super. I will ask at NYCC if for the love of anything, it could stop this pointless crap.
And until we get confirmation it's a valid concern. And really, this bothers you but the weekly "Flashes! Commercials! Oh noes!" bull!@#$ doesn't?
@EvilGamerX:
Bitching on a forum doesn't do shit.
Yeah… I'm sure Naruto doesn't say "Believe it" anymore because the script writers just said "bah... too much."
Oh trust me, all bitching bothers me. This is just more annoying cause there is less point to it. The flashes and stuff can have a little argument in the sense that other shows have what is taken out. But that is stupid too.
As for Naruto's "Believe it"…. that was in the original. It just shows how stupid a fanbase is and how people don't care and just want to shut them up. Also, I doubt anyone from FUNi besides Mato comes here because, well, look at all the weekly bitching. I know if I worked on the show, I wouldn't wanna bother with this stupid shit.
@EvilGamerX:

Do you people even read my posts? (See, rhetorical question. I know you read my posts. I just can't believe I have to explain them so you understand so I make a statement with the subtext which implies I think you're dumb.)
I stated both times that it WASN'T that bad. I used words like 'minor insult' for a reason.
@Seal:

Somebody who can't even properly comprehend few paragraphs of posting has no place to make those kind of determinations.
Robin had a few lines this week. That was the only one that sounded even a little out of place. It was a little thing, but it was noticeable enough. Especially since I make a habit of watching the original episode immediately before the dub.
Well why wouldn't other people from FUNimation read on this site? Just because some of the things fans have been complaining about haven't changed doesn't mean they won't be in the near future.
Also, good job on them getting a commercial on the "One Piece" movie out, I haven't seen much marketing for the series so that's a step in the right direction. Now they need to get the movie on Cartoon Network and possibly get a commercial for "Unlimited Adventure".
Huh. . .the bitching continues.
I liked tonight's episode. The name changes don't bother me. The flashes and the edits don't take away anything from the episode in how its paced. It's fine, because C/N is getting more lenient with OP as they did with Naruto.
I'm really fucking happy with Funi's dub of One Piece, and Movie 8 really solidified my opinion on their dub. I'm content because I don't get nitpicky over every single tiny thing. Sure, the changes are still outlandish and borderline ridiculous, but we have never had it this good before, and each week it gets better.
Take a step back and realize the strides and improvements that Funi has taken and done with One Piece. Then maybe you'll be as content as I am. It's not getting worse, people. It's getting better.
You'll always be entitled to your opinion, but I think some people are bitching either because they focus TOO HARD on everything, or that they bitch for the sake of bitching. Those are the people that need to take a step back and rethink how they feel about OP in its current english form.

rolls eyes Oh, why do I even bother…
@EvilGamerX:

I'm pretty sure I remember Mato saying he thinks there are other Funi workers that lurk here.
@EvilGamerX:

Yeah. It's totally unheard of for people to seek out feedback about the things they work on…
There isn't a writer, actor, or producer in the world that doesn't sniff around the internet to see what people are saying about their work. Odds are good some of them will sniff here.
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Fans in general love to complain no matter what, especially on the Internet.
I would like to point out at this time that, as usual, bitching about my 'bitching' has consumed more of this thread than any 'bitching' I've made about Robin. You people are far more 'bitchy' than I will ever be.

Ummmm yeah. I get it. Unlike a number of users here… I understand what people are saying. I already went over this earlier. Why do I have to deconstruct every other post I make for you guys so you understand them?
Oh for crying out loud, will the next person who plans on jumping down Charagon's throat for his completely harmless comment about Robin, please do us a favor and close their browser window. At least read his post more clearly and not make such a big stink over it.
Anyways, we get our 3rd (or is it 4th) appearance of our narrator. When he first showed up, we got the slightly ham version. A few episodes back however his delivery was a bit more sincere, but this week's sorta gone back to old gramps telling us a story.
Loftra/Wyler = don't care.
Flashes = don't care.
Otherwise, decent episode. Nothing drastically wrong
Actually, there weren't any flashes on todays episode.
When Gan Fall got impaled, all they did was edit out the end of the spike coming out of his back.
As for Sanji, the kick was left in. They just cut the scene with Satori reeling back with pain.
Buuuut… There were no flashes.
They also shortened the shot of him being impaled by half, and slightly rearranged the order of Chopper's reaction.
You were right though, no flashes this time.
