That is the title of an episode.
Nowhere does it say Season 3. It can just be listed because the name is in the preview.

But, Rightstuf did the same thing, listing Season 3 5th voyage as having episodes 196-205. It was later updated and now says 196-206.
Jeez, the suspense is killing me…

I'm hoping, but I have doubts.
Praying Please don't charge my account until tomorrow, Please don't charge my account until tomorrow, Please don't charge my account until tomorrow…
And hey, everyone! Take a look at the newest DVD released in Japan:
!
That DVD haven't been released, yet.
Well for anybody who cares. My S3V5 has been shipped. Now we play the waiting game.
YAHOO! Mine was charged today! One Piece and my epic Ninja Turtle statues are on their way!
So is it still shipping for everyone? Who has the earliest due date?
Just got my copy. I live in Iowa. There is a different cover (Nami and Luffy on her Waver in-front of G8 (it looks great.)
Now the news.
There is no Episode 206. Commentary is on Ep. 196 Mark Stoddard (Jonathan) and Brian Massey (Drake)
I forgot to mention that there is no trailer for season 4.
There is no Episode 206.
In that case, this is the first time I am disappointed in Funimation.
Uh…wow. :/
Fail, it would seem.
Meh…Sucks that the set ends on a cliffhanger and only has ten episodes. Still if anything this may just gives Funi another reason to get Season 4. We see. Finally all of what Funi has recorded for One Piece is out and we were promise news after we hit this moment.
The ball is in Funi's court. All we can do now is just buy and wait.
EDIT @Trane
Mind taking a picture so we can see the cover?
Bah, knew it.
We always heard that DVDs weren't selling great. People waiting for season sets (that still have yet to be announced) or just not buying.
Interesting to see where it goes, but my hopes for possible Blu-ray of season 4 seem to not be likely.
I guess we will have to wait and see about next season. :(
@ Mikey : I won't be able to until after 9:30 central. If there is no picture by then I'll get one up.
Damn. Well, there is anime detour this Saturday so anyone who is going, ask Funi why the hell we have literally no news on season 4 at the moment.
More like why isn't 206 on the set.
I'll wait with buying 5th Voyage 'till we have news on season 4. No point in buying an incomplete arc.

God damn,we better not get into a "Clased Closed" status.
Yeah, I mean seriously. Then why have the episode title for 206 everywhere and on the disrcption of the dvd set. Thats flase adverstisting.
It was never on the description. At least not one that FUNi put out. It says 205 on the series' official website.

Some places; there's been a bit of confusion up to this point.

Alright. I not sure when I get home tonight but most likely it will be before 9:30. If I get it here in Texas then I post up a picture if it isn't up.

Or we could wait until we get to a bigger con or til the end of the con season to see what is going on.

I don't know. That isn't really helping the whole 'We have been buying the DVDs' whole thing. If they not working hard in getting Season 4 because nobody is buying the DVDs then this isn't going to help. It is still worth seeing anyways since G8 is a good arc. If anything it is to push us to buy the next set when they say something about it.
On rightstuf, it said 196 - 206 on the discraption. And on the Funimation blog, it also said 196 - 206.

In case you did not know….

Funimation plans on making quite a few announcements here so I'd say it should be pretty big.
So, what does this mean about Hulu uploading subtitled episodes?
I think Hulu is at 196 in the dub, and the subtitled episodes will continue to be released weekly on Hulu, right? Is this confirmation that the FUNI One Piece DVDs will cease to be released? Only owning one set from Funi, should I continue to purchase the others?

I'm pretty sure it isn't One Piece. Do NOT get your hopes up.
@Zach:

I am positive it isn't One Piece either, I am saying it is a good place to ask questions concerning future voyages.

Nah…I didn't know. haha
Double what Zach said. Sounds like Funi is trying to hype up the panel which I won't blame them for doing. It be fun to watch but let not get our hopes up. Saves us the anger and the tears.
Also less of "Screw that they mention 'X Series'! Where is the One Piece! The most awesome series ever!" when they don't end up mentioning One Piece.

That would make me far more disappointed in Funimation.

How? Why FUNimation? The only reason that would happen if sales were low. If sales are low, I think the fan base is the thing to be disappointed in.

Or that Toei charged too much for it (it being Season 4 on), like they did in the U.K.

Don't trust my word on this, but I am sure it costs as much here as it does there, just Manga UK and Beez don't have that much money for a series that could bomb there.
So, referring to my last post, should I purchase the sets, or wait for more news to be released.
I'd purchase. People buying is what will help the series continue here.
I know I still plan to purchase Season 3, Fifth Voyage. I want FUNimation to continue, so why wouldn't I continue to support?
@LUFFY#1:

This is the exact reason why it wasn't released and why Manga attempted to just purchase Movie 10 and got turned down due to Toei wanting them to release them in order. Must remember to ask the Kaze rep about that tomorrow at Kitacon…
Oh right, should probably mention that Brina will be there too. Maybe she'll be able to give some kind of answer but I doubt since she's more involved in the song department.
How?
Easily.

I don't think Funimation is oblivious to how anime sells in America. They shouldn't have expected a huge sales, especially in the state the anime industry is now in, or was when they first acquired the series (granted, the series was on TV at the time).
If it's the reason that Zach implied, then I would be a little more understanding, and while I would be disappointed in the fan base if One Piece was dropped, I would be disappointed in Funimation, as well.
@DVD discussion: I plan to buy S3V5 when/if Season 4 is announced, or it drops in price.

I think people are more worried about how Toei might be oblivious to the situation in how anime sells in America.
So if FUNimation is losing money in One Piece, you would be disappointed that they dropped it?

I'd be disappointed if Funimation did what is being done to Case Closed, which is what I originally said I would be disappointed with in the post you originally quoted.
I'd be disappointed if Funimation chose not to continue the series, but still held the rights to it, like they do with Case Closed/Detective Conan.
Well what company is going to buy rights of a series that isn't selling well?
Well what company is going to buy rights of a series that isn't selling well?
Didn't Funimation?
:ninja:
Yea, but here they are releasing a version that is uncut and unedited. With the previous version, it was apparent why people wouldn't buy it.

The sales are supposedly better than 4kids', weren't they?
I mean, I don't expect funimation to drop One Piece, I'm just saying I would be disappointed (and, honestly surprised) if they did.
Well, I kinda expected this. I pre-ordered my copy from amazon, so I'll get it on the street date. I am surprised to hear the cover art had changed though, because the one they had on amazon looked so climactic, like the series….was over (it pains me to say that). BUT, I think we'll get more One Piece eventually. We just need to keep buying the DVD's and hope for the best.
Edit: FUNi doesn't have plans on dropping One Piece anytime soon.
Well, this sucks. Here's hoping Season Four First Voyage can switch from one episode full screen episode to multiple wide screen episodes easily.
@Yuugi's:

And that's assuming Toei would fork over the widescreen masters. :getlost:
The question now, why did even got the title for Episode 206.
Beeeeeeeeecause it is in the preview for 206.

Because funi had it in the next episode preview…?
