Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
well at least you have internet ordering..
paypal doesn't supports pakistan.. and if you somehow are able to order it.. postal service ppl will keep it for themselves.. that is why rent-a-coder specially recommends not using postal service for its pakistani customers..and it all suckz :sad:
oh shit :X That sucks : (
By the by, I haven't found a single proxy which doesn't make it impossible to watch Funi's videos.
So yeah, I'm greatful for this.
try 128.208.2.139:3128
Ok I just watched it, nothing much happens (just like in the manga) it's just story development and a flashback. We get to see the vulnerable side of Hancock though, which is quite nice.
But I have a problem with this release.. the bottom end of the screen stretches out the bottom pixel layer, which creates some freaky looking animation. Is this my codecs that are messing up or does everyone have this?
In any case, still waiting for a fansub on this one.
here's a site with a decent veoh stream:http://www.animeshout.com/one-piece-episode-415.html/3/
edit: it even has the toei animation watermark lol 
Especially since the US simulcast could and probably WILL eventually lead to an international simulcast.
No. It won't. It really won't.
A simulcast in the US is possible because the distribution rights for the entire country are held by a single company, FUNimation. In Europe, distribution rights are spread through many small companies throughout the different countries, many of which would never accept a simulcast. Conclusion: An international simulcast of One Piece will never happen.
is this guy Jimbei ?
that's fisher tiger who freed the slaves, founded the sun pirates and is already dead. Btw I see you also have the pixel fallout at the bottom (altho not very noticeable here) so I guess there's just something wrong with this release..
no, this was also in the first episode of Funimation..

It happened with "Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood", what makes "One Piece" any different?

@ThegreatPirateKing:
While I would love to watch the series legally, proxies don't work on the videos anymore. Even Hotspot, which works on the actual american site, won't load the videos. So while I won't download these episodes, I want to say that you can't hate people who aren't in America for doing said action. We WANT to watch it legally but plainly, America doesn't.
I don't think anyone is hating on anyone else for wanting to watch a show. And you can't really blame America for not getting to watch it legally.

Internet rule number 57 (for fellow Americans): When someone who is not from your glorious country engages you in an argument, just agree with them and let them think they're right. It totally makes their cute little day.
For all the people crying about pirating FUNi subs, because their country doesn't provide subs, SUCKS FOR YOU! I guess no one in your country has the entrepreneurial ability (read everyone in your country is too newb) to actually engage in business dealings with Toei and actually BUY the rights for the show. You all are thieves.
This post is a troll.
I have a solution!
! move to the us :getlost:
No. It won't. It really won't.
It might. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Gintama and Naruto are all available (mostly?) worldwide, as are 4Kids' Yu-Gi-Oh archive subs and probably some other stuff here and there.
Until this happens to One Piece, though, I see nothing really wrong with this. It's the same as fansubs, really, except it's less unnessecary work for the distributor. It's still something that won't be available on DVD for ages, and thus can't be legally supported. So what if these videos can be watched for free in some country on the other side of the world? What does that change?
(though yeah, distributing those Naruto subs doesn't really fall under this. You can pay to watch them now, or you can wait a week and watch them for free, all legally.)
And you can't really blame America for not getting to watch it legally.
Of course not. You can't blame non-Americans for wanting to watch the same series, either. If FUNi/Toei halts the simulcast because of this (which they won't), you can't really blame them for pirating it either - to them, it's simply a matter of "we get to watch" and "we don't get to watch". If there's a simulcast and it's being pirated, they get to watch, but an un-pirated simulcast being available is no different than there not being one in the first place.
I actually did a transcription of the simulcast's subtitles to an .ass file for my own personal use (to get professional subs in HD and whatnot). I was going to release it originally, but a friend of mine convinced me not to do it because it could cause problems to FUNimation. After seeing the existence of this rip, though, I'm starting to doubt if it'd cause FUNimation any problems…

I'd be happy to see the translation quality of Funi compared to fansubbers, I just don't want to watch a crappy raw with it, so a softsub would be great, and I don't want to rip it myself as it would spoil the episode 
Perhaps it would be interested to encode it with an HD raw and release it on the net, so people not living in america and not being subjected to any brainwashed fake consumer morality, can also enjoy a good translation (if it's really good, I'll have to send it to a translator to have his opinion).
So if you don't wanna release it, but don't care, send me the softsub
Wait, isn't the argument for the continued existence of One Piece fansubs the fact that there are fans outside the US who can't view Funi's simulcast? I totally support continued fansubs for that very reason, in fact. The only reason I want to watch Funi's stuff is because it's legal. As soon as someone outside Funimation's "space" (US and Canada) starts downloading their translation, it becomes illegal again. Then what's the point?
I mean, it's really not like professional subs are better quality. Heck, I can point out a translation error in Funimation's Blu-Ray release of the 8th movie! It's not very complicated Japanese, either! :getlost:
So why all the hate against Americans who are hating on people illegally downloading and sharing Funi's stream? There are some excellent fansubs out there with higher video quality, very accurate translations, and smooth grammar. Is it the fact that it's a "simulcast"? Just so you know, Americans and Canadians can't watch it an hour after it airs in Japan, either. The site traffic is too high–you're better off waiting at least another hour if you want to watch it with no hiccups.
(if it's really good, I'll have to send it to a translator to have his opinion).
It is, haki and a couple inconsistant names aside.

Sent you a PM with the link to the .ass file. Please don't publically link to it, etc. Also, I should note that I fixed a few typos in the original script, as well as replaced the one instance of 'Haki' with 'willpower'; all of that is mentioned in comments in the script.
Anyone can rip a .ass file but you're probably getting a DMCA if you put it up anywhere, not that it would change anything.
UTSF site click subbing one piece since july 08 one piece 432 released! SD released!
The simulcast is shitty quality.
I click the link for the episode. Click play. And maybe click whatever banner they have on the page.
I consider that giving them my "support". It's not like they can tell if I watched the whole thing or not.
Then I download a nice HD version when it comes out from fansubbers. Ideally, somone who just copied the Funi tranlation and pasted it into an HD raw.
That becomes my archive copy.

If someone can handle getting the script, I can do the encoding part, and help seed it, that way we can have a good version for archiving.

Yeah, the problem is that most people wouldn't do that. They'd just go "oh, there's an HD version, why would I bother opening FUNimation's page?" and FUNimation ends up losing money. That's the only reason why I haven't released my transcription of FUNi's subs on an HD raw.

no need to encode it just change the font and softsub it to the mujiwara raw :X

Once again, I submit the fact that most of the fansubbing groups out there do just as good a job as Funi. So . . . you already have a couple of good versions you could archive. Just because they're not professional does not make them any worse. Also, just because Funi's subs are made by a big, bad anime corporation does not make them any worse. I've seen translation mistakes by both fansubbers and professionals.
The only reason Funimation has not made their streams available to other countries is because they do not own the rights. Toei in no way wants to sell them those rights. Despite what people may think, anime companies (even in the US) are rather small and have neither the manpower nor the financial backing to deal in international trade (aside from the purchase of rights from Japan, obviously). In other words, if Funi tried to market anything in another country, they'd crash and burn.
Really, what's wrong with the fansubs?
I'm not saying anything is wrong with fansubs (I was in one for a long time), but what I like in archive is consistency in style and translating, and no fansub, no matter how good they are, stick around for very long (except KF but they'll only catch up when Oda quits).
Funi can probably do this for a long time if they're making ad money, so I'd be happy to stock up on their work.
I don't have any preference in quality, like you said both are good enough, I'm more interested in consistency.

Ah, okay. That's actually a valid point. Personally, I'm only archiving KF, but I have the option to buy from Funi (which I do, but I'm not going to archive their streams).
I don't think it'd be cool to publicly post anything with Funimation's subs, though, if only because of the whole fiasco we just got out of. I'm sure people do it, but that still doesn't make it cool. Might I suggest keeping it for personal use/sharing it quietly? Or maybe waiting a bit before wide-spread sharing, so the simulcast can recover from its rather horrendous opening?
You're right, distributing anything with Funi's name on it would only cause trouble, so far it's just a solution for personal archiving, at least until Funi gets the simulcast to a decent video quality.
