If she has to take a break for a few weeks, then they fall behind schedule by a few weeks. Guess they want to continue their being so far ahead of us. With the break, it ensures that she has as much time as she needs.

Just ordered Collection 9 and the latest Season 5 Voyage and volume 70. I need a bigger shelf. Or maybe start rotating volumes in and out of storage. OR buy a bigger house with a man cave for all my crap. OR have a big ole garage sale. :( First World Problems right?
-
If they start releasing season 6 by July or August it would be just like the previous two seasons. my biggest question is how quickly will they release each voyage since theirs only gonna be 4.
-
I'm praying it's as quick as usual. I'd hate three month breaks between voyages. That would be like one episode a week. Bleh.
-
I for one would not be happy if they held up releases to get the openings dubbed. I know people want them and that's fine, but others like me don't mind the Japanese openings and would rather just see the actual dub get continued. But if it's only a few months I'm not going to make a huge stink about it. I can wait until late summer just fine without complaining much. Season 4's wait was FAR longer than that.
-
As much as I would love to see/hear dubbed openings again, I really can't see that happening. I'm not saying its impossible, but I think if it was going g to happen, it would have happened by now.
And ultimately, a delay in the short term may not even equate to a delay in the long term, if the gap between season six voyages is shortened.
And zephray, I'm curious….is there a reason you won't start again from episode one now and again? I'm not criticizing your rationing, I'm just curious.
-
I guess some people just want to keep a steady/stable flow of new eps, rather than going back. For me, I still don't get it. I finish a set in a day and then just move onto seeing something else to occupy me until the next one. But that's just me.
-
Sure. I like a steady flow of new episodes. It prolongs the enjoyment. Also, I don't really have the time to sit down for hours at a time watching the episodes in a marathon. I have an internship, two editorships, and a fulltime school schedule. If I ever get any time, it's only an hour or so at a time. So once a week new episodes gives me something to look forward to.
Also, when I get the time , i do rewatch episodes. I rewatch the newest set- don't see much of a point in starting over and over from old sets. I've seen them plenty.
And actually, I do rewatch those occasionally when I try to get friends into one piece. One of my friends is at the end of arling park now. Again, we only watch episodes every so often due to lack of time.
Also, there are plenty of other shows and films to watch, rather than going back to rewatch super old episodes.
-
Part of me is Sad at the Delay, but part of me is happy because now I have a break from buying the DVDs lol.
Tho, it's gotten better. I just wait till after street date then wait for an Amazon or Right Stuf sale. Go into Fry's Electronics and get them to price match one of those sites.
Got S5V5&6 for $35 total.
-
I think the fact that One Piece is on TV will make this break a lot more bearable, at least for me anyway. Re-watching Water 7 on Toonami and seeing the new fans reaction has been enjoyable. It's better than the nothing gap we had between Season 3 and Season 4.
So at least on Saturdays I'll get my One Piece, and Tuesdays for the manga. Dr. Chopper prescribed at least two doses of One Piece per week.
-
It's not just One Piece, I've noticed that other titles from FUNimation that I've been keeping an eye on have been delayed as well, but it might just be a case by case coincidence.
I'm not really surprised by it though, to me it seemed too good to be true that Thriller Bark would be starting so soon after Season 5.
-
Nothing better than a signed BD. Sean Schemmel and Mike McFarland btw!
-
I've already pre-ordered collection 9 and after hearing how season 6 is getting pushed back I see a chance for FUNi to release more collections, which is great for me because that's what I buy lol. This time next year I figure all the collections for seasons 4 and 5 will be out and season 6 will be right in the middle of its run. Works for me. I love how FUNi brought the collections back so soon.
-
A break isn't the worst, but I wish they would've just told us a date and stuck to it. Better than abandoning a date and not announcing a new one…
-
Sure, but would you rather they announce a new date they weren't positive they could stick to? And then possibly face another delay after when they realize they needed more time? We know it'll be out this year at least. I'm not thrilled about a delay but I understand sometimes these kinds of things sneak up on you.
-
Well, it depends on the delay. I imagine you can usually estimate delays, specially last minute ones that arise shortly before you're scheduled to meet the release date. But who knows what happened; you may be right in that they don't yet know what date they can put it out.
-
Considering how far we know they are at currently, it sounds like to me that they already took a break and were working on it when Colleen announced her pregnancy. Do we even know how far along she is? Since they made an initial announcement for a date, we can reasonably deduce that they were confident in having enough done to begin releasing in May. Plus, how long will Colleen be out? There was talk that she will be out before and after her child is born, but was there given even a ball park figure? The delay from the initial May release may simply be only enough of a delay to avoid doing something like one release per quarter.
The way I think it is going to go is that I think we will see a July (maybe August) S6V1 release with about a ten week gap between voyages (maybe as short as eight weeks). As I mentioned in a previous post, I think that there is going to be changes in the release schedule for the short term, but I think that they will certainly release season 7 voyages at about (or very close to) the time they were planning to originally, so the long term release timing isn't really affected.

I think I saw her say she was expecting to have her child in september but regardless I'm not so upset about a break since we'll still get it this year
-
Yeah, as long as it's this year then I don't really have any complaints. Though this is coming from someone who still has alot of catching up to do in terms of obtaining the sets and such.
-
I agree that I'd at least like to get a more concrete release date even if it was pushed back, but I'm not that impatient. At the very least we know that it'll be released this year since Colleen confirmed that they're currently recording the Oars fight. They're probably holding back the releases so that they can put them out at a steady pace without a ton of breaks inbetween.
-
I'm just anxious. I like always having new episodes to watch; I want to see Sabaody and thriller bark.

I will say that one downside to the delay for me personally is that this thread will inevitably be less active than it was previously, which is a shame, because I feel like this is really the only part of the forum that I care enough to truly frequent.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Patrick Seitz interview that the guys at OPP filmed since the Ian Sinclair one was a blast. And Seitz really does seem like he loves being Franky based on the footage I've seen of him talking about it but I'm excited to see a full interview that's truly dedicated to the role.
-
Yeah. I only really frequent this and the video game forum. We'll just end up repeating ourselves here, though. Ex: I'm really hoping this comes out ASAP.
-
So the Funimation One Piece dub is in good standing right? I can't imagine Funi dubbing the whole show without TV support and I'm glad they got to the HD episodes so the show looks current to potential new fans.
-

People keep talking about a delay in the DVDs, when did Funimation announce such a thing?, can you send a link?

This is the aggravating thing- funimation didn't address it. The listing just never showed up.
-
so I've been able to track down copies of all of the Voyages for good prices except for S3V3. Is that one out of print or something?

I spoke to the rep that posted the original Season 6 announcement. It's delayed, it'll be out this year but that's all we know.

Zach Logan said he hasn't heard any news from a reliable source, so why did that rep not just make another announcement

There's a couple possibilities I can think of here….first Is that they are waiting until they have a firm release date. Second is that a delay may only be uncertain (though unlikely at this late, since the initial release was for next month) or that they delay is short, is a month or two.
-

Yeah right….
Sorry but its hard to believe that he would just say that to you without any glimp of news from FUNI.Either way we all knew it is gonna be released in this year.
I don't know wich episode's they are in the dub, but i can guess the first two dvd box episodes are already done dubbing.
( I do not have a sourch that they are that far, still funi is great in hiding secrets)Colleen was pregnant right? so for sure there's a DELAY somewhere in season six itself.
Thats not hard to figure out if someone from the main cast has a baby.. -
What happened to the film z July release? Seems like a weird mistake on madmen's part, and FUNi hasn't announced it yet.
-
Madman has made mistakes and jumped the gun before. They said on Facebook a while back that some company had licensed the 2011 Hunter x Hunter series, when really those companies had only mentioned they were interested in it. They also said last fall that the dub of the Buu saga of Kai would be out sometime this year, yet Chris Sabat just recently revealed that they don't even have the rights to it yet.

To be fair that last one could be Sabat just covering Funi's ass. Buu Saga Kai was one of the worst kept secrets in anime history and if Hebert's tweets are to be believed it's probably licensed already.
I really hope the Film Z July thing is legit, I would love if we got it sometime this summer. It would be totally weird though if we got two movies with Brook in it before even getting to Thriller Bark lol.

Madman's tweets read as if they sounded dead serious it was coming (then FUNi read it, facepalmed, sent Madman a kindly worded message and probably made the decision to delay it until Fall or something)
-
I doubt it was ever scheduled to come out in July. Funimation gives way more notice than that.

When do they announce July solicitations? Mid-April? June came and went without word.

There was word, just not One Piece included. And yes, mid April is about right for July solicits. If anything, we should at least expect the next collection to show up.
-
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you shouldn't expect Film Z in July. Whilst the July solicitations won't be up until mid this month, it is looking like both the film and Season 6 got delayed.
-
Film Z announced.
http://funi.to/OPFilmZ_fb_blog -
that's awesome I wonder if they've dubbed it already or are gonna dub it in the next few months with Colleen being pregnant
-
16 characters of OFFICIAL!
-
And there we have it.
I'm guessing an October or November release date.
-
Awesome, can't wait.
I'd be more excited about this if we hadn't spent weeks in uncertainty over Madman's previous announcement, but still pretty hyped nonetheless.
I wonder if they'll use Zed or just Z, something's gotta match the mouth flaps right?.
-
This is great news to hear.
-
Z is cool and all…
But i would rather have season 6 release anouncement or the rights for season 7.
Movie Z was made when the japanese eps where at 550+ i think.
Funi is at 330's......I mean come on, major spoiler alert stuff.They should aim their attention at the earliér movie's in my oppinion.

I don't fully agree, since we've been waiting for this awhile, and now its finally here! and I doubt there gonna announce season 7 until the end of the year when season 6 is released, now im hyped for movie 6, I hope it gets dubbed and not just released in subtitles like the UK
