@Buuhan1:
More than likely gonna be edited, FUNi said they made an edited version alongside the uncut just like the episodes. Of course Australia is most likely gonna use that cut.
@FUNiOnePiecefan:
I'm sorry, can you back that up? I don't think FUNimation made an edited version of movie 8
If FUNi did any edits for the movie at all, it was voice edits… ...as for blood, cigarettes, etc, that would be CNs sensoring, or possibly a different company, not FUNi. Not everything Mike says is true... ...that rumor about slipping in a cigarette... an entirely different department handles video editing and I know they didnt touch the movie. It was merely an accident that made his rumor appear true.
@Buuhan1:
Yep, he said they made an edited version right alongside the uncut. They're probably doing that with every One Piece production under their helm. (in other words: not video games) FUNi wants One Piece to air on TV, all of it. I bet you they recorded an edited version of First Voyage.
No, it would make no sense to pay millions of dollars to remove blood and cigarettes on a show that may or may not ever air on US TV again. Besides, Im sure the plan is that if they air 1-143 on TV again, they would use FUNi audio (which may be edited for TV), and 4kids video… ...meaning hello lollipop.
