Yeah Geekymcgeekstein did indeed do a Kokoro No Chizu fandub. I believe it was one of her first fandubs actually when she had a rather crap quality microphone and not as good with the editing as she is now. Anyway I believe that this is the one people are referring to.If it is her fandub people are referring to and not another one then this is it.

Meh.
Better than the others, I suppose.

THAT'S IT! Thanks again for finding it! I could have sworn it sounded a lot better though when I heard it last. Maybe this is an old version and the one I heard was re-recorded?
Unfortunately, this is probably the closest we're going to get to hearing OP 5 dubbed faithfully into English.
I know I should have gotten over it by now but it still pisses me off that we're most likely not going to be getting any more dubbed openings and endings. It's what made the Funimation dub of One Piece feel special, since so many companies just leave it in the boring old Japanese version that people have heard 1000 times…
Okay I'm done ranting.
-
This'll probably sound s bit weird but it's nice for me to know I'm not the only one that's still a bit upset about that. Granted there's always hope for the dubbed songs, I was really looking forward to hearing Eternal Pose in English too…

I know man, it's disappointing. I'm still going to try to be cautiously optimistic that they'll eventually get back to dubbing them, but even if they starting doing that, all the Water 7 songs are probably going to be left undubbed (unless they put them on the collections release, but since they've all been exactly the same as the DVD releases, mistakes and all, that's probably unlikely).
I guess it was true that Toei wants international licensers to keep openings and closings in Japanese. But it really doesn't make any sense? Toei had no problem with other companies dubbing music for years, and now all of the sudden it's a big problem? I guess they think they can sell more CDs or something that way, but how many people here in the US are actually going to buy Boystyle's/Tacky & Tsubasa's/etc's latest single just because they heard a 1 minute clip of their music in a cartoon? Probably zero.
My philosophy is, if you're going to dub a show, why not dub the whole thing (music included)? The only exception to that rule is if the show has strong Japanese roots or references, it should be left in Japanese (shows like Naruto, Samurai 7, Bleach, etc). One Piece has very few Japanese qualities about it, so it really doesn't fit that category, which is why it's music should be dubbed, in my opinion.
-
I'm still very upset about it as well. That's why I'm urging you guys with a youtube account to get those guys to dub OP5. They sound good and professional. That's good enough for me.

Believe me you aren't the only one. But there is very little that can be done at this point.

That's right. All we can do is hope this situation sorts itself out.
Anyway since we are eventually going to get to Brand New World, who do you guys think would do that song justice? I'm personally hoping for Vic and Sean Schemmel to sing it together. BNW is sung by 2 people right? I saw this fanmade opening of DBZ Kai's OP Dragon Soul featuring Vic and Sean and I think it Ssounds great.
What do you guys think? And I can't wait for Voyage 4 to hear Jason L. rock Lucci :)
-
Just got summer wars n the newest OP voyage
-
If the song somehow manages to get dubbed (at least for Map of the Heart we get two more chances outta five, for Brand New World we barely get two) I think we'd end up with only one person singing it. Pretty sure we've had cases in the past where the original had more than one person singing, but for the dub it was only one person.
-
It's hard to say whether there would be two singers or not. The Catalan Dub of OP 6 only had one singer, whereas the German Dub had two.
-
I got my copy of Season 4, Part 3 over X-mas so here are my thoughts. Everything is great in my opinion. I really like the choices Funi have picked for Iceberg, Paulie, Kaku, Zambai, and all the Water 7 characters that introduce on this set. Franky is perfect in my opinion for the dub. I also really like the sneak peak to Lucci's voice during that one scene with Robin. The Luffy Vs. Usopp episode was handle really great, I didn't any problem with it. It was just perfect in my opinion.

This is gonna sound unbelievably shallow, but would you believe I put that version together? Didn't make that vid putting it to the animation, but the mashup was from me. Had to work with the tv version of Vic's part, which is why the quality varies. I let it trickle into the public domain, so I'm not chasing glory for it; just thought I'd mention it.

True. And if by any chance Funi does get to dub BNW, i hope they use 2 singers.

Honestly, I'm not much of a stickler for this consistency nonsense. If they can't dub the ending song for legal reasons, but can dub the opening, then I say by all means, put in the dubbed opening paired with an undubbed ending. I don't see all too much of an issue. This obsession with consistency is doing more harm than good.
-
He edited together the mashup mp3, but it seems someone else synced it up to the DB Kai Opening animation.
Vic would be awesome in BNW. Not sure about Schemmel.

Yeah, better than nothing. But unfortunately that's not the issue, since this is affecting both OPs and EDs and casting the future of all dubbed songs in doubt.
-
Even though I'm upset about the whole dubbed songs snafu, I'm still pretty grateful that we're at least getting more dubbed episodes and in a timely manner as well.
Take a look at the Spanish OP fans and how they're getting screwed over. They recently reaired OP on a channel called Boing, after being off the air for 3 years (they had no DVD release minds you) and dumped by two channels prior. They aired the series from the start and actually dubbed new episodes right up to Ennis Lobby. Then just a couple of weeks ago, they were told that they would never air the show again, not because of bad ratings, but because many TV stations have had their budgets cut due to their current economic difficulties. So, they probably aren't going to be getting any new OP soon, or if ever again.
So we should at least be thankful Funimation didn't just completely ditch the series and that the dub didn't have a fate that befell the Spanish dub.
-
Yeah, that definitely puts things in perspective. I never stopped being super-grateful for even getting these episodes it's just that that one little issue tends to linger in the back of my mind from time to time.

I agree with you 100%. I'm pissed that we don't have the songs, but I would have been super P.O.-ed if things would have just ended with season 3.
-
Even though we're now on the "proper" closing credits (albeit still in Japanese only), FUNi never updated the opening credits to include info on the closing credits. Wow, that's a confusing sentence.
-

I say Schemmel should go for Jungle P.
-
I got the first 8 collections for Christmas. I'm going to do a One Piece anime marathon soon.

My girlfriend is in London now… Any One Piece merch she can pick up that isn't in the States? hmm. -

I, however, got Season 4 Voyage 3 for Christmas (:

I know that we're still in the middle of Season 4, but this is my little prediction on how I think the next season announcements may go like:
*this is if Funimation includes the special episodes and OP/Toriko crossover
Season 6- Thriller Bark + Spa Island Filler + Sabaody Archipelago: 69 episodes
Season 7- Boss Luffy Filler + Amazon Lily + Nakama Whereabouts + Impel Down + Little East Blue: 51 episodes
Season 8- Special Marineford Retrospectives + Marineford + Toriko Crossover + Post War Arc + Flashback Filler: 60 episodes -
Nice predictions, MasterKing.
Although it's gonna take a long as time to get to Season 8 and beyond.

Theoretically speaking: season 7's last bit of episodes will definitely leave a bad taste in people's mouth (if you have seen the little east blue monstrosity) as most of us have seen.
-
Funny thing is I've never seen Little East Blue…had to look it up on wiki to know what it is lol.
I got S4V2 for Christmas and just bought V3 on rightstuf. Was gonna get it off of amazon but it was cheaper on rightstuff by maybe 3-6 dollars.
-

Little East Blue comes up right in the middle of the Impel Down arc. Season 7 would end with the four Nakama Whereabouts episodes.
But I understand what you mean. It'll be weird for a lot of people, especially since we're getting Strong World next year and the dub shouldn't reach LEB until 2015.
-
Haven't watched little east blue or episode 0 yet. I'll be watching them when strong world is about to be released.
-
Season 6- Thriller Bark + Spa Island Filler + Sabaody Archipelago: 69 episodes

Season 8- Special Marineford Retrospectives + Marineford + Toriko Crossover + Post War Arc + Flashback Filler: 60 episodesFix'd.
And this seems about right to me. It's kinda nice realizing that once FUNimation finishes releasing everything they've announced thus far, we'll be only 180 episodes away from the Timeskip.
Tho, didn't the leaked Season 6 announcement say S6 ended with the end of Impel Down? I still firmly believe that was real and FUNi accidentally let it slip when they shouldn't have.

Or… save yourself the agony and don't?....
I mean, watch Episode 0, that was awesome... but Little East Blue?... The undisputed worst filler arc ever?...
-
So about season 4 voyage 4 being delayed till march, do you think it has anything to do with Strong World? Maybe they delayed it so they could release S4V5 along with Strong World. I remember a post saying they'd like to release SW during the summer. I can't remember if it was facebook or twitter were it read that. Who knows how far Funi will go with one piece. even if they don't finish everything, I hope they atleast get to dub everything up to before the timeskip.
-
Tho, didn't the leaked Season 6 announcement say S6 ended with the end of Impel Down? I still firmly believe that was real and FUNi accidentally let it slip when they shouldn't have.
Please see:
@MasterKingJC:Little East Blue comes up right in the middle of the Impel Down arc.
I don't know… I hate Rainbow Mist and the voyage 2 S4 filler quite a bit.

Fix'd.

I hope it's not.
Over 100 episodes for one season? That just seems like it's waaaaay too different from usual 50-70 episode seasons. -
It doesn't matter much to me what arbitrary numbers they give their sets; as long as we get a solid number of eps per set, I'll be happy. To be honest, it'd be a good thing to have such a large chunk of episodes licensed at once. It would certainly take a lot of the pressure off of wondering when they'll get to the next batch.
-
I just want to mention Season 2 was 90 episodes. Here are predictions for Post Season 5. This is also if they have the Toriko Crossover episodes for Season 6 - 8.
Season 6: Thriller Bark and Sabaody (71 Episodes)
S6V1: 337 - 348 (12 Episodes)
S6V2: 349 - 360 (12 Episodes)
S6V3: 361 - 372 (12 Episodes)
S6V4: 373 - 384 (12 Episodes)
S6V5: 385 - 396 (12 Episodes)
S6V6: 397 - 407 (11 Episodes)Season 7: Amazon Lily and Impel Down (51 Episodes)
S7V1: 408 - 420 (13 Episodes)
S7V2: 421 - 433 (13 Episodes)
S7V3: 434 - 446 (13 Episodes)
S7V4: 447 - 458 (12 Episodes)Season 8: Marineford and Post War (58 Episodes)
S8V1: 459 - 470 (12 Episodes)
S8V2: 471 - 482 (12 Episodes)
S8V3: 483 - 494 (12 Episodes)
S8v4: 495 - 505 (11 Episodes)
S8V5: 506 - 516 (11 Episodes) -
I just want to mention Season 2 was 90 episodes.
I was going to bring that up, but since that's out of the way..
Other than that, I'm quite impressed with those predictions.
-
Will we ever return to 13 episode sets?
-
I just want to mention Season 2 was 90 episodes.
Oh, yeah. Forgot about that.
But I think that was because they wanted to have the entire Baroque Works saga in one season. Hopefully they won't go that route again.Will we ever return to 13 episode sets?
We might get a few in the next batch of seasons, but it's not so easy to do with the number of episodes Funi licensed for Season 4 and 5.
-
Though this in no way makes up for not having the dubbed opening, I thought it would be fun to try using Shift's lyrics to make a quick fandub. With his permission I've put together this video. Sorry that my singing is pretty rusty and that I don't have the harmony parts but it would be nice if we got something along these lines.

Wow, that is amazing shinpanman. You're a really great singer. Awesome job
-
Yeah, by far the best English fandub I've heard of this song. Good job!
-
Damn shinpanman, that was you singing?? It sounded amazing :wub:I didn`t really care about not having an English dub for this song before, but after hearing your version…
-
Best fandub yet. I'm still curious to hear those other guy's, though.
-
Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? Toonami just put up a One Piece vs Naruto image. With the toonami logo in the back.
-
Where did you see that?
