One Piece Anime in Latin America.

Captain Krupp

Again, I hope Im not breaking any rules by posting this here, especially since what Im about to say is just nothing more than hope at this point.

See…its been 12 years since the 4kids version of One Piece came to Latin America, throwing a huge wrench into Toei and Fans hopes that One Piece would be a success in Latin America. Sure, the anime still comes through Crunchyroll subbed but its very niche and One Piece deserves better. An uncut dub like the Funimation and French Redubs has been a wish of pretty much every LatAM fan.

Toei has abjectly ignored fans and hasnt redubbed the show despite massive demand from its fans. So its up to us to try and bring the show to the attention of broadcasters and Toei itself.

http://www.onepiecepodcast.com/2017/06/26/plans-reintroduce-one-piece-latin-america-underway/

Toei wants to sell One Piece to Latin America… but now they are selling the anime subbed for TV. This is an extremely saddening development. Toei could make million from Latin American fans but they refuse to change.

Please understand, this isnt just to say "Oh we have a dub, yay!" but rather for those who cant see or read. Like the blind and people with dyslexia. They deserve to enjoy One Piece too. And One Piece deserves an awesome dub in Latin American spanish.

I apoligize because I think this breaks the rules for advertising. But please take a minute and help us out.

Please contact... (And please share better addresses if you know them)

So a latin redub is happening?

Captain Krupp

Yes! I want to bump that other redub thread but A-It would be redundant and B-Would be double posting.

And this time it couldnt be MORE confirmed.

Captain Krupp

MOAR CONFIRMATION! The First 2 seasons are being dubbed! I hope its 104 episodes! https://tvlatina.tv/tvninos/enfoque-en-mip-cancun-toei-animation/

Well, Usopp's voice is terrible. His actor can deliver a more suitable voice for Usopp, what a shame.

Luffy's voice isn't that good either, although it is better than the previous one, but it sounds very forced.

Captain Krupp

Luckily its still early on so both actors can either improve or be replaced. Everyone else is just AWESOME.

wjbraden

And there it is. It looks like they kinda went with a Colleen Clinkenbeard impression, which while not bad, could use some work. Don't know what the hell happened with Ussop, but that's going to be a big problem. Everyone else is okay so far.

I don't suppose they are dubbing the openings and endings again are they?

G1Ravage

Wow! It kinda sounds like they're using the FUNimation English dub as a sort of baseline for this. Usopp sounds horrid, but there was a moment or two where his grunts or laugh sounded almost spot-on like Sonny Strait's.

Captain Krupp

No they arent. The dialogue is translated from the Japanese version. And Sonny Strait is MUCH better than Alejandro Orozco.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Yeah I generally like how it sounds but that Usopp is… rough. I can see what they were going for but I think it delves a bit too far into cartoonishness and its like... weirdly wispery?

imperioonepiece

A friend is very knowledgeable about mexican dubs, and he has told me that this studio (SDI Media) in Mexico is controlled by a certain family, which through nepotism and friends have been delivering bad results because they only hire those that are from their family, friends, and they underpay other occasional good voice actors… They've used fansubs for some other dubs and I hope this changes, if we send a complain to SDI Media, they will hear us.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Oh yeah that… doesn't sound good.

Captain Krupp

Poor Usopp…your avatar is extremely fitting at the moment lol.

imperioonepiece

I forgot to say that Usopp's voice actor is the brother-in-law of the dub's director.

Blake Bakes Cakes

The only studio where saying they only use 12 voice actors is a valid critique.

First. The dub IS NOT BEING MADE at SDI Media. Its being made at Labo which is a great studio. Second, Calm down. Its just Usopp. If we tell Alejandro and Arturo Castañeda about our concerns they might listen. Also, you shouldnt contact the studio anyway. They dont decide what goes. Toei does. Ask THEM.

Your friend needs to learn to know stuff before speaking.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Oh yeah thats a good point, toei approves all of the main casts of their shows dubs nowadays

You're recognizing nepotism and then you're saying it's okay… Don't you see the results from that? Those practices should cease.

Captain Krupp

Its. NOT. Nepotism. Because. Its. Not. SDI. Media.

Enserio joder! Esa es una acusacion muy grave la que haces. Y es inutil tu link y tu consejo por que No es cosa de SDI Media. Incluso si lo fuera, SDI no es el cliente. Es Toei. QUEJATE CON ELLOS.

Perdon, pero me enojo la acusacion y tu soberbia.

Guys, if you want to help the dub, contact this adress.

Dont be afraid to ask for better voice acting and so on. But keep in mind Labo is just the studio. TOEI is the client that commissioned the dub.

It is nepotism because they changed a better voice actor for Usopp in favor of the brother-in-law of the dub's director, of course it is! And SDI Media is very closely related to Labo, so…

Yes, I know, Toei asked to the dub director to use his brother-in-law instead of a better one, yes, I will believe that... You're strangely angry, are you related to those families? Are they family to you?

Anyway, the link you're providing is for TOEI Usa, that won't help us in this case... I'm all in for a better dub, without nepotism... no matter who does it.

Captain Krupp

No! But I feel for Alejandro. I know he is a shitty Usopp, but he is a terrific actor and he was just misdirected and miscast.

I am extremely sorry for the outburst. I dont even have a big attachment to Alejandro. I just felt the whole thing with the nepotism accusation was a low blow.

I'm sorry. I didnt intend to be a bad guy. Please forgive me if I was mean.

Blake Bakes Cakes

How do you know they chose him over a better one exactly? It's not impossible they legimately thought they were the best pick yknow. You're reaction seems overly extreme, theres only 2 clips out so far and as someone that only knows english at least, it sounds rather good so far. No need to be so hostile, especially when it hasnt properly released yet.

Sorry for being so hostile. I just really get into a foul mood sometimes.

EDIT:The Link to Toei does work. You can speak in Spanish and they'll answer. Toei USA is where all of Toei America operates including latin america.

Have you heard the previous one? From One Piece Gold?

You don't need to watch anything else to know that the previous one was way better than this, and if you include what I said, and knowing that in Mexico there's a lot of nepotism, it's obvious to know what happened. I'm not hostile, I think. I'm just saying facts, and then you analyze and get your own conclusions.

This is a new dub, with an entirely new casting process. There are many reasons the one here couldnt have returned. Could've not auditioned, or refused to (dont know if it was an open or closed audition process). Or hell theres even a possibility he could've been in the running, but the director genuinely preferred the new one for one reason or another. Hostile perhaps wasn't the right word and I apologize if I was rude, but one casting choice really shouldn't be a reason to cry nepotism. If this is a recurring thing then sure, but I think you're being a bit too harsh for how little info there is out there.

It is a recurring thing as far as I know.

Fixed. I do agree that Toei and Arturo Catañeda made a HUGE mistake with this voice but I genuinely feel this was a genuine mistake not born out of nepotism.

I meant in this dub specifcially.

Captain Krupp

I gotta thank you imperioonepiece and Blake Bakes Cakes. Before you came here, no one cared about us. THANK YOU DEARLY!

Blake Bakes Cakes

I love one piece and want it to be as easily accesible in as many places as possible, and foreign dubs of works I love just interest me in general. Also you can just call be Blake lol

Captain Krupp

Ok Blake! I love dubbing too!

Captain Krupp

IM WATCHING THE REDUB!!! ITS AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!

Its just the first episode but I feel like it started on the right foot!

EDIT:One major bad thing is that Gold Roger is called Gol. D Roger in the fucking opening. Bummer.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Oh yeah thats… not great. I'd rather them always us gol d. instead of always using gold I guess but thats a pretty big spoilllerrrr

Captain Krupp

Dont worry! They "Fixed it" because only the narrator calls him that… only to have the characters call him Roger Gold...LOL.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Oh… do they use the given name surname order for everyone??? If its not choosing roger of all people to order it like that is super weird since gold roger is like a common pirate thing

Captain Krupp

Everyone's names have been reversed now.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Man I can't wait until marineford is dubbed in like a decade and we get to see fan favorites Newgate Edward and Teach D. Marshall

Captain Krupp

There are no dub credits. So we can only rely on our encyclopedic knowledge of Dub Voice Actors.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Oh, well isn't that jolly

Monquito

Ok so, a friend of mine lent me her Netflix acc, very nice gurl.
and uh well I just realized that because she lives in Denver, and I live in Mexico, I have to wait an extra hour because is not Monday yet in denver…

damn, everyone is already looking it and I'm just here, still waiting

Captain Krupp

The attacks have been also reversed. Like instead of Gum Gum Pistol. Its Pistola Goma Goma.

Blake Bakes Cakes

Okay I kinda get the name thing but thats just…. bizarre

Its. NOT. Nepotism. Because. Its. Not. SDI. Media.

A bit late to this discussion, but imma say, since it's MEXICO you guys are talking about, benefit of doubt is given by default. Nepotism could've realistically played a role here.

Captain Krupp

It may not seem that way but Goma Goma Pistola sounds weird. I like the change.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

One piece is trending in argentina!!!

Snowmint

So why exactly wouldn't this this new spanish redub be cancelled like 300 episodes in? There was a spanish continuation of detective conan but then it was canned again around the 300 ep mark. I hope the spanish dub can cover the whole series. Due to 4kids listening of other regions the series got screwed internationally. Hopefully the netflix binge watch model can save one piece in latin america.

Captain Krupp

You know what I dont care. We got the redub we always wanted. Pardon my rudeness, but I am tired of people being killjoys and doomsaying.

EDIT:OOPS! I thought you were saying that this redub was pointless. Sorry! I just saw the first half of your post and saw red.

Detective Conan fialed because it was literally never redubbed. It just continued under a mish mash of casts from around Latin America. That's the exact of opposite of what One Piece is doing. A fresh start with a new cast that Toei intends to keep consistent. Detective Conan needed to do what Toei did just now.

One Piece is TRENDING IN ARGENTINA. its a success. I doubt it will be cancelled. And even if it is. 130 episodes have been dubbed. I dont mind if it ends there.

Lady Quexinos and Demon Rin know the hard fight.
