It's a big week for us.

[Jammer]

Loved the promos. J. Michael Tatum is probably my favorite voice actor so it was pretty sweet.

[AlnaJames]

Nice job once again guys!
I was kinda bored for the first part since all thouse America-only news were…. America only XD I doubt people from non-English speaking countries are anywhere near being intersted in the voice actor and american SJ releases, but oh well~
Your manga role-reading made me laugh for a few hours XDDDDDD Admiral part, especially Akainu, was the best!

I'm from the US and I'm not at all interested in voice actors ;p

And I actually skipped over the role-reading part…not my thing ;o

Remember, chapter features allow you to take away all the boring. It's what makes us better than your average podcast. That said, though we definitely try to appeal and bring in international viewers, our target audiences are in the United States and Japan. However, we do try to cover other countries as much as possible without losing other viewers.

For those who are curious, our country stats (since late October overall):

United States - 3,245 (31.6%)
Japan - 1,535 (14.9%)
France - 1,301 (12.6%)
Germany - 944 (9.2%)
United Kingdom - 623 (6.1%)
Canada - 435 (4.2%)
Australia - 206 (2.0%)
Italy - 199 (1.9%)
Mexico - 197 (1.9%)
Others - 1,600 (15.6%)

Represent your country by telling others you know to listen! Ahem…that's all the self promotion for today.

[AlnaJames]

I like listening for the whole thing :3
I'd made more people here listen to it, but I'm afraid very few people who are capable of understanding English through hearing it are interested in OP podcast~ >___>
I belive I'm the only one active Russian AP forum member XP

That's fine, I won't discourage podcast listening.

Were always interested in more diverse "One Piece" news from around the world. If you know anything good send it our way.

[keyodie]

I loved the role-reading hahaha. Really really interesting episode. Thanks for giving us our One Piece fix every week.

[Sarlaccboy]

Squee!!!! I heard my name: "Dave Pirovich" =DD

[fps_anth]

Awesome episode. I actually liked the whole "acting out the manga" thing. Some of those voices are way too funny, and it's a lot more entertaining than "And then Whitebeard starts an earthquake…and everything turns to the side...except where Ace is..." and such =P

"Whitebeard is on the move!" "ZOINKS!"

[an1995616]

I must say. This episode was amazing. And I like the picture of the whole crew!!!! Keep it up for the next 50!!!!!! WE ARE MAJI!!!

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

I don't know how Jump Festa exactly works, but if you guys aren't satisfied with the English voice actors, maybe Greg could try and record the Japanese voice actors cutting a promo.

[Greg]

Absolutely impossible.

The voice actors here are treated the same as Hollywood stars. That's not to say EVERY Japanese person knows exactly who they are, simply that they're regarded with the same status amongst their fans. This means they are only up on stage. They don't interact with fans and they don't sign anything.

In fact, in one of those weird twists of irony, those of you living abroad actually have more interaction with them at conventions than they do here.

[gofish]

i loved the manga voiceacting it was hilarious, especially squad's voice hahahaha.

You see, we tried, now don't take our efforts from the weekend lightly.

[Doctor]

Hey, finally got around to listening to the episode. Was real great though I did skip around at some parts. I guess it was worth leaving that comment that one day. I was able to talk to a bunch cool people while talking about a great show.

[an1995616]

I don't find anything wrong with the American voice actors. I thought they did a pretty good job. And why make Greg do so much work when he's already getting us info from Jump Festa?

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

It was only a suggestion. We don't take advantage of Greg at all.

[an1995616]

I know. I only suggested that we don't do that.

[Greg]

Believe me, I'm not doing work so much as I am simply reading JUMP. Yeah I do some translation but I love doing that. I think just about everyone else works harder than me on the podcast.

And to tell the truth, it's not even looking good for JUMP Festa. No tix yet and IF I won, I expected them by now.

[slippy]

greg: with tickets to jumpfesta, what exactly do you get access to? i was told jumpfesta was a free event that didn't need tickets so is there some exclusive things? and if so, where can i get tickets if they're still available

[Greg]

with tickets to jumpfesta, what exactly do you get access to?

JUMP Stage events. In so few words: Oda.

i was told jumpfesta was a free event that didn't need tickets

JUMP Festa itself is and has always been. They just started the ticket bullshit for the stage (for me, the only goddamn thing that matter of course) this year.

and if so, where can i get tickets if they're still available

100% impossible. They were part of a mail-in campaign where you had to send in seals from JUMP issues and even then it was a lottery.

[slippy]

ok, that's fine. though it'd be nice for tickets to the stage, i'll live without. thanks for the info

[an1995616]

That sounds like a lot of work to get tickets. Hopefully you were not scammed like Hannah Montana fans were last year. XD! My neighbor hated me even more after that!

[TokageMoria]

Sweet! It was an awesome panel, and in one of the pictures on the website I started the Franky SUPER Pose!

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

Always awesome to get feedback from our panel, thanks for attending! I wish it was that weekend again.
