I know that Skypiea has been recorded and shown and is almost getting released on DVD, but has there been any news of voices being recorded any further than the end of that? ie Water 7, Enies Lobby
I know the One Piece Podcast guys recently interviewed some of the VA's and I didn't heard them mention anything about how far they had recorded, but at the same time, they seemed to be talking as if it was planning to carry on, at least for the foreseeable future.
because this couldn't have been answered in an already established thread
Up through the end of Skypiea is all we have confirmed.
However, Sabat once let slip they were working on "Season Four" and that they were "Coming up on Franky".
Also, a forum member here, iMustang, has a friend at FUNi who looked in on a room and saw a Yagara Bull (From Water 7) on the screen.
Their OFFICIAL response on working on stuff beyond Skypiea was, if I remember right, that they'd start work on Season 4 once every Season 2 DVD was out (IE, They'd spend the time while Season 3 was coming out producing Season 4)
The Last volume of Season 2 just hit, and Season 3 comes in early July (Late June for preorders)
Also, Colleen missed a scheduled con appearance recently, and another inside source says it was One Piece related (Possibly even Strong World)
So the timing is right for work to begin on the later episodes, even by official announcement standards.

Dub? There's a dub?

Come back from the past, SnoCone from 2007! Head…
Back…to the Future!
on patrick Seitz's (the voice of Franky) youtube channel it says they will be starting season 4 shortly
By "seasons", they mean story arcs, right?
By "seasons", they mean story arcs, right?
There is some confusion going around about what constitutes a "Season", let me break it down really quick.
A "Season" of a TV show is a set of episodes as ordered for a network. They're called "Seasons" because episodes are ordered to play for seasonal blocks, like "The new set of House episodes for Fox's Summer Season"
Japan doesn't have typical "Seasons" at least not for anime like One Piece. One Piece airs continuously with your occasional one week break, without end. There's never a long break between Seasons.
Toei, when they did their Japanese DVD releases, made up their own Season designations.
Season 1 is East Blue
Season 2 is "Entering the Grand Line", (Apis through Little Garden)
Season 3 is "Enter Chopper at the Winter Island" (Drum)
Season 4 is Alabasta
Season 5 is TV original (Post Alabasta Filler)
Season 6 is Sky Island (Including Jaya)
Season 7 is "Escape! The Naval Fortress and the Foxy Pirate Crew"
Season 8 is Water 7
Season 9 is Enies Lobby (& Ice Hunters)
Season 10 is Thriller Bark
Season 11 is Sabaody
Season 12 is Amazon Lilly and
Season 13 is Impel Down.
! The WB War will probably end up being Season 14
The American seasons for One Piece were dictated exactly the same as they are for normal American TV. US Seasons of One Piece are 52 Episode Seasons as they were ordered for TV by Cartoon Network.
That means, going by the US Broadcast episode numbering (by 4kids) the Seasons are:
Season 1: Ep 1-52 (Ending in the middle of Drum)
Season 2: Ep 53-104 (Ending at the end of Rainbow Mist)
At this point, FUNi picked up and restored the numbering
Season 3: Ep 144-195 (All of Skypiea)
When FUNi put the episodes out on DVD, they had to account for the 39 extra episodes that 4kids had cut out. They could have either split them off into their own Season (Making Skypiea season 4) or stick to the original Season numbering and just slide the episodes in there. They chose the later and decided to make…
Season 1 - East Blue (Ep 1-54)
Season 2 - Baroque Works (Ep 55-143)
Season 3 - Skypiea (Ep 144-195 or 206 depending on if G8 is S3 or S4)
At this point, the show is no longer going to be ordered for TV, so they have no "Official" List to follow beyond wherever the official season end for S3 was, so at this point it is entirely within their power to just make up seasons however they want. I think they'll probably keep splitting them up by Story Arcs as they have been, though Water 7 and Enies Lobby are each a tad too long to make it as one complete season I think. If I were to predict the rest, I'd probably say it'd be like this:
Season 4 - the Davy Back Fight & Water 7
Season 5 - Enies Lobby
Season 6 - Ice Hunters & Thriller Bark
Season 7 - Sabaody, Amazon Lilly and Impel Down
(But again, those are just my predictions)

I like Funi's Season choice's - though it is a bit akward-ish that Season One only has Three Voyages, yet Season Two has Seven.
However it's fantastic to hear they're up as far as / or starting Water Seven. They really are fantastic dubbers,
you can mock them over some Dragon Ball issues if you like but One Piece has been fantastic !
Didn't Funi try to cast people that sound similar to the Ocean Dub of DBZ though? So if anything, they are partly to blame for whatever the problems were.
has not seen Kai, and only barely remembers the DBZ run on Cartoon Network
To clarify, I plan to buy Kai in the future. Debating between blu or dvd though (leaning towards blu).
Didn't Funi try to cast people that sound similar to the Ocean Dub of DBZ though?
Yup, you can tell in Sabat's original season 3 performance that he was imitating Drummond's Vegeta.
"That's right boys. Mondo cool."
Kai is shaping up to having a pretty good dub, though!

There's 4 in Season One. :happy:
I too agree that it'll be Season 3: Skypiea & G-8, Season 4: Davy Back Fight-Water 7, Season 5- Enies Lobby & Thousand Sunny, Season 6- Ice Hunter & Thriller Bark etc.

I hope Kai does actually get this Ocean Dub. Having grown up with Drummond's Vegeta, I sorta prefer it, and I think it sorts Vegeta's character better.
There's 4 in Season One. :happy:
Ah, thanks, I was a bit unsure about that 
By all official accounts, Season 4 dub work should begin this fall if not sooner. Either way (whether it gets dubbed sooner or later), we'll be getting those releases at the same time.
