Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)
-
That's the best cover yet.
-
Best cover in Skypeia. s3v2 was just terrible.
Yeah, I've been checking here and rightstuf everyday in hopes of an announcement on s4…
-
FINALLY! Yes, this new cover is fantastic. Now we can finally be rid of that ugly mock-up cover once and for all.
Can't wait for this set to be staring me in the face~

Apparently some one saw S3 part 4 at FYE with the old cover art.
-
Love the cover! Hope it's the one they use for the release.

Seriously anyone thats thinking that funimation is going to drop one piece…. are you freaking serious? first of all they got the rights to season 4 MONTHS ago and if your going to use the "they havent dubbed anything in a while" excuse.... again seriously? Its called they TOOK A FREAKING BREAK. sheesh. why would they take a little break you ask? I'll tell you. Its becuase dubbing one piece is HARD. The voice actors have even said themselves that it hurts there freaking throats when there voiceing most of the characters. Case and point. Luffy and Usopp. Plus they dubbed almost 200 episodes AND a movie on top of that in a REALLY short amount of time and thats not even mentioning all the other shows there dubbing among other things. After doing all that work the voice actors among everyone else at funimation wanted to take a little break since theyve already got everything threw skypiea dubbed along with movie 8. And the voice actors at funimation have said on multiple occasions that one piece is the hardest dubs theyve ever worked on for obvious reasons. Plus one piece is one of funimations highest selling animes, theyre bringing over other merchindise for it and its one of the BIG 3! So sorry if I sounded angry but seriously seeing people posting such stupid comments kind of ticks me off.

@Tamaki:

ah, ah, ah
before you try playing with the big boys, get your sources out
oh, none?
shoo
-
Even now I find the Sabat sushi incident quite dubious.

Heres your proof. http://www.onepiecepodcast.com/?p=1564

I work with the podcast.
plz see:
UPDATE (05/31/10 at 1:36AM ET): After receiving the video we need to address that he did not explicitly mention “season four” being the episodes that he was currently working on. Portions of the interview imply that they are working on episodes in the early 200s, though they are not recording those episodes. We will update this space with further updates and clarifications before releasing the interview. We apologize to Mike if any implications that were taken from this were misinterpreted, it was a miscommunication between us.
if you listened to the recent Sabat interview, they're still doubtful of any actual confirmation
try again

I read that part and it said that they were working on episodes in the early 200's which is season 4.
-
Season three is possibly going all the way up to 205.
hey look
early 200's
let's not do this all day

But then why would season 3 fifth voyage be its own boxset? If it only has about 9 or so episodes it wouldent be its own boxset and dont say they would do that becuase they wouldent. belive me its just not something funimation would do.

What?
Can someone translate this for me?
-
Badass SnoCone, I think that post says that Funi won't release season 3 fifth voyage because they don't usually release box sets. Maybe.

What I mean is that funimation dont release 9 episode boxsets.
-
Don't you mean 11 episodes?
I heard it may be196-206. -

I kinda want to call bullshit because there are no pictures to back it up and it is a full month out from release.
Still hoping for the new one.
-
Wouldn't be a day in Arlong Park without someone being chewed up and spit out.
-
Ok, I sent an e-mail to Funi's Funicon 5.0 asking if the "rumors" that they will be dropping One Piece are true or not so we'll be able to have a straightforward answer….if they decide to answer my question.
-
The newer one is on rightstuf.

Even now I find the Sabat sushi incident quite dubious.
Oh, I believe it to be entirely dubious. Of course, it doesn't mean they'd be able to bring them out if they weren't making much money, since I assume they were working on the episodes without having a contract with toei for them yet, and I'd doubt they'd want to get one if it were doing badly.
But this all sounds like tripe to me, I've never heard anything but positive things about how funi's OP has been doing.
-
Speaking of that, I made a fan-translation of that recently:
oz389ATaLFo
Btw, it's supposed to be "The wind" at 0:54, typo.
If I had to make one little complaint it would be that the word "brightness" may be used one too many times.
I love that "If you come with me and bring your hopes and dreams" line. Really nice callback to the dub of We Are. :happy:

Oh neat! When is FUNicon and how do I ask questions? I have some Hellsing questions for my website.

It's the 27th of this month. You can just e-mail them questions.
Here's the article:
http://blog.funimation.com/2010/12/funicon-5-0-%E2%80%93-holiday-special-extravaganza/
EDIT: And I just saw that they stopped accepting questions yesterday. Great. -_- Now this "OP is being dropped" fiasco is cursed to go on a little longer.
-
I doubt you were the only one to ask that question.
-
I did ask what's next for One Piece before the cut-off. Whether that means season 4, a movie, a TV deal, or if it's even acknowledged, we'll have to see.
-
Good decision SnoCone. This will be sure to give us a more clear answer, because if any of the following happen, it should give us an idea as to what they are thinking. Either they:
-Flat out admit the rumors are true (God forbid)
-Decide to let a little more info about their plans out to reassure fans (God willing)
-Or they completely ignore the question, also giving the rumors truth. (Again, God forbid)The way I look at it, if they hear fans are getting nervous, they will at least say something like, "We cannot give out any details right now, but we assure you we are not dropping One Piece. We will be announcing more news again soon."
-
I wonder if they are going to do another New Years Roll Out like they did after New Years. That be cool.

So did anyone get anything One Piece-funimation related for Christmas?

I ordered S2V6-S3V3, but the didn't arrive on time :-(
-
I'm intending to spend my money from relatives getting the last few boxsets I've missed.
-
@LUFFY#1:

now i patiently await for the next one :happy:
-
Yeah, I got completely caught up on the DVDs, and finished my Tsubasa manga collection. …now I need to read the last few...
And the op s3v5 wallscroll.
-
Season 1, Voyage 2 and Season 2, voyage 5.
Got a lot of catching up to do.
-
Season 2, Second voyage and Season 3, first voyage.
-
I've got the second season so far, though I sadly only have voyages 1-3 I need the other ones, it has one of my favorite fights, its in 5-7 my guess >< I'm going to start collecting them.

I got Season Three Voyages 1-3. I'm finally caught up. For now. >_<
I also got the One Piece Super Best album.
-
Would anyone know why American Anime DVD sales data isn't available like every other DVD that gets sold?
I mean I can find how well Movie 8 did in theaters here in America (Grossed only $6,587.00) but nothing about DVD sales.
-
The FuniCon 5.0 is tonight at 6pm Central time (7pm Eastern). If they answer all the questions they recieved, we should be getting some info on One Piece tonight.
-
Just got all of season 1 in the mail today! :)
-

Yeah, I really hope they announce Season 4.
-
If someone asked about One Piece then we will get something about it, it just might be the old non-committal "can't say anything right now" line.
-
@Baby_Naruto:
Yeah, I really hope they announce Season 4.
From the way I saw it they said they wouldn't be announcing anything other than Eva related announcements.
Season 4 will not be announced by a fan asking a question.
Besides, we know about these online cons, they really aren't even worth watching (IMO), much less getting all excited about them announcing things.
-
I wonder if they are going to do another New Years Roll Out like they did after New Years. That be cool.
This is what I would like to see but there was a lot of complaining last time they did it, and unless it gets announced at FuniCon tonight I'm doubtful we'll see it again. The first two days were all live action films (Shaw Brothers, RoboGeisha, and something else that's escaping me) and people weren't happy about it because they were waiting on anime title aquisitions. People were even unhappy with the FLCL rescue because it wasn't a new title, and even though that was when Funimation announced Hetalia there was still a sense of disappoint over the number of anime licenses acquired.

Hopefully they'll read my e-mail to them asking if One Piece would be dropped, even though I sent it in a day late.
EDIT: Hey. Does anybody know where to watch FuniCon?
-
Ask and you shall receive: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/funimation-update
They aren't going to drop One Piece.
-
Yeah, I just dug up the USTREAM and was about to put it here. Thanks, Yugi. I know they won't drop it, but a straight answer from them would stop all of these stupid rumors.
Anywho. 4 minutes until showtime.
