Well I think context comes into play in this case. There's a pretty clear difference between traditional "ambition" and whatever the !@#$ Silver Rayleigh used to incapacitate those people in the auction hall, regardless of whether or not the same word is used.

Well, the word "yabou (野望)" also means Ambition, which I know is used often. "haki (覇気)" has a similar, if not the same, meaning as well. So really, it's a word that can be translated differently with a similar meaning, depending on the situation and context. It's not this magical "untranslateable word only used in the One Piece universe".
Seriously, what is it with the One Piece community wanting certain words to be left untranslated, rather than translate the word based on the situation? We have a vast amount of words in the English language that could be simply used to fit each situation, with similar meaning. So why not use them?
Admittingly, while I used to think it was a good idea to leave "Nakama" untranslated awhile ago, due to it's vast meaning that could be translated differently, I've now come to the conclusion it's just plain lazyness. I realize if it's a pun or joke that can't be translated (or translated easily), to try and explain it quickly as possible in a translation note. That's understandable. However, those two "magical words"? No.
Translate them.
And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
-
great news guys X)
cant wait -
In some cases ambition is more acceptable, and in other cases I think spirit is better. Like ChibiGoku said, lets just use the many words we as english speakers have.
-
I think anything with quotes around it should work
-
I watched 391 online over the weekend and the timing problems seem to have disappeared. Was I just lucky, or has it fixed for other people too?
Also Steve had a nice suggestion for haki: gimp Space Alc's dictionary is so goofy sometimes, some of the translations for kuso are hilarious.
Dude your team's workload must be fucking insane right now, I can't imagine. Good luck to you guys.
-
Anyone know when the next episode is gonna air? Will it be over the weekend?
-
403 is not this week but the week after.
-
I was actually asking about 392, but thanks for your response.
-
@jamedina88 Tis complicated! Ok- this wk we have eps 1,2 + 391. Next wk will be eps 3,4 + 392. The wk after will be eps 5,6, 393, 394 + 403.
Assuming that this is an official twitter.
-
Is this during the weekends or during weekdays?
-
Episodes 5, 6, and 392 should be up tomarrow. Since that when Funimation updates all their videos on their site. Plus it would out with the new episode of FMA: Brotherhood.
-
Somebody at Funi has to see the flaw in the idea of uploading all their videos on the same day. That's just asking to have your servers crash.
-
i was curious how long it takes hulu and their partner sites to get the stuff. I haven't seen the released episodes on hulu.com so far. I'm guessing server issues won't be much of an issue there.
-
It's Thursday and FUNi hasn't put up this weeks episodes yet. They must be running behind.
-
what time do they usually do it? because last week i didn't notice until, like, 10
-

They got the new FMA episode up at exactly 10:00 am CT.
But I guess One Piece is less important to get up…
EDIT: But like FMA, I think that they might have a set time that they upload the episodes. I'd say it's in the range of the next few hours. Maybe 6, 7, or 8 pm CT.
-
Since it's friday, it has to be up later today, don't cha think.
-
I would hope so. I know I said putting all the episodes up at the same time was a bad idea, but that didn't mean I thought they should delay them this long.
-
Maybe they're being held up by legal shit, or maybe something's not quite right with their player, or maybe they're working on making it less laggy for us.
There's tons of reasons people can or can't updated a website.
-
I'm in the dark as much as everyone else, but if I had to guess, I'd say that since OP airs in Japan on Sunday mornings, the online FUNi versions will probably usually happen on Saturdays.
-
That makes sense. I didn't think they'd start running that schedule until the 30th when they had new episodes to put up.
-
Yeah. Looking at the Twitter account, it says new episodes will go up tomorrow. Episodes 3,4, and 392 specifically.
-
Hey, don't know if anyone else has seen this on other sites or anything, but Just now on deviantArt i saw an advertisement for the One Piece Simulcast
-
I think I've seen it advertised elsewhere, too.
-
I think the funi streams are horrible seeing as how they are 220 mb for an flv thus loading horrible WITH not so good quality.

… I'd go ahead and say it, but I'm sure Charagon's gonna pop up eventually with some kind of "Pot Calling the Kettle Black" Post...
-
Well, you could always ignore him.
-
The FUNi streams load fine.
I have an HD Monitor (1080p on my Desktop, 720p on my laptop) and everything looks just fine.
The loading times suck when the file is FIRST uploaded because you have a lot of people trying to watch it all at once, but wait a few hours for it to die down, and it loads just fine. I can watch it now instantly, without having to wait for it to load, and it never stops to buffer on me. -

Now I'm having the same problem as a lot of people.

16 exactly the same
-
I'm going to do what now?
-
Well it depends on your connection but the Funimation stream is huge flv file size they should come up with a better way of converting it(like veoh)
-
I thought we were getting new episodes today. Anyone know when they are putting them up, if they are in fact putting them up.
-
Okay well just so I don't just like I'm complaining I'm going to list my feedback and critisms
Good:- Good translation(accurate, but I am used to a few different words so I take more time to read the subs)
- Good speed(Well I can't say already but I think they'll be faster)
- Has some official terms so fansubs don't have to argue much about them.
Bad: - Bad streaming filesize, slow server
- no DDL
- Horrible timing, bad lead in and lead outs and horrible fonts
- overlapping opening kanji with subtitles
- Bad splitting of lines.
- no typesetting
- no karaoke/ fansubs touch(but that's not going to change)
- not available in my area
Just my opinion ;)
-
They probably going to post at 9pm central. So you know we can getting ready for tradtions of Weekly Saturday Night One Piece Live. xD
-
It's 9pm but i don't see anything. Maybe they're running late?
-
Well they said it would be sometime today… After now seems pretty late to be uploading them. So I guess they are just late.
-
It's 9pm but i don't see anything. Maybe they're running late?
probably doing last min work..as to test to see if they will run correctly or something…just guessing why they are not up yet
-
The odd thing is, the files have been on the server since last night…
I wonder why they're not added to the website yet...
-
Umm… didn't they say this starts on the 30th, with episode 403?
-
The could've forgotten?
-
Well they did got Episodes 1, 2, and 391 on the main Funimation video site now. If that counts for something.
-
This post is deleted!
-
@FUNimation:
Episodes 3, 4, and 392 of One Piece will be live on www.onepieceofficial.com tomorrow!
from Tweetie
So, like, yeah, I've got 10:49 PM May 23rd, so…
-
Watch it be uploaded at 11:59. I'm calling it here. I wonder why it's not uploaded yet if it's on their server.
-
oh well Never mind
-
well this has been a disheartening evening…
-
well this has been a disheartening evening…
Seconded.
Sometimes funimation makes me sad. :cwy:
-
Episodes 1, 2, and 391 are now on Hulu.
