Welp even if it's not until June, at least we have a timeframe. I kind of want to get past Fishman Island and to Punk Hazard and Dressrosa so I'm definitely glad to be getting the ball rolling again here.
Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

I'm looking forward to seeing Fishman Island again for the first time since they originally aired (but this time dubbed and marathoned) Hopefully this will give me some new perspective on the arc and the animation quality (hopefully its better than I remember, it usually is)
As for Season 9, I'm guessing we'll get 5 voyages, with 11 episodes on each (this one has 12, and I think there are about 56 episodes in this season)
-
Did they announce the official episode count or are we just guessing?
Can't wait for Punk Hazard. I'm sure FI will be fun enough to fly through; hopefully the new release schedule is monthly.
-
Fishman Island is enjoyable enough for sure. Definitely looking forward to it. But the material after is where the hype is for me so at least that's in the foreseeable future now.
-
I have a feeling Season 9, Voyage 2 will be 13 episodes due to Episode 542 is the next Toriko crossover episode. Here is my prediction for the rest of Season 9.
Season 9, Voyage 1: 517 - 528 (12 episodes)
Season 9, Voyage 2: 529 - 541 (13 episodes)
Season 9, Voyage 3: 543 - 553 (11 episodes)
Season 9, Voyage 4: 554 - 564 (11 episodes)
Season 9, Voyage 5: 565 - 574 (10 episodes) -
I have a feeling that it'll be 13 episodes per set after the first one and 542 will obviously be skipped along with the season ending with a 10 episode set so the Z's Ambition arc can be in Season 9
-
Sweet cover art!
Special Features description says "Textless opening and closing songs" still. Are they still aware there are no closing songs since season 5?
-
I'm very excited to have Mike back as the ADR Director starting with the New World Saga. I know he directed some of Impel Down but now he's back in full and his Twitter shows his excitement for it
-
He is? How are you sure he's back full-time?
-

He's been tweeting all about One Piece including Season 9 and its been shown that he is directing pretty far into Season 9

looks like they finally announced season 9
June 20 2017, no idea of how frequent they will make the releases this time.
So how will it go?
S9 - Fishman Island
S10 - Punk Hazard
S11 - Dressrosa part 1
S12 - Dressrosa part 2
? -
-
Where would the split be?
The 1st episode of Part 2 will likely be anywhere between episodes 680 and Episode 687. Birdcage/new intro is a good halfway point for Part 2.
-
Hate to say it, but the only arcs I've loved since the time skip are Punk Hazard and Zou. I'm not too anxious to be in the throws of Dressrosa yet again.
-
yea that is going to suck having to go through all of those episodes again, though thankfully it will probably be awhile before it gets dubbed, so I might be more willing to go through it again by then. also I believe it will be much easier going through it marathon style with 12 episodes each set, then watching it go by slowly weekly.
-

For the most part it seems like alot of passion is missing from these episodes. Or something.
I didn't feel that way on the return to sabaody. Can't even remember punk hazard, dressrosa was on and off for me. Zou was definitely most alive the production team had felt for me.
-
Well Dressrosa has its downs but Doflamingo, Fujitora, Sabo, and quite a few other characters make the downs worth the ups.
-
Where would the split be?
I haven't watched it, but dropper is probably right, I remember roughly half the arc being about the birdcage
-
So they listened to the fan favorite for Law. Think they'll do the same for Cesar? Folks tend to hope for the Freezer VA.

Maybe him but he does a manlier voice, I love caesars seiyuu

?Just looking at this reminds me why I was upset at Funi for taking so long with the release schedule. The show really drags during the time skip and going on a slow 2 month or even worse schedule is gonna be unbarable. Like, I get they have other anime to dub but I don't get what's wrong with a faster release schedule just a tad.
-
I always feel sorry for David Moo being forever remembered for that role, since he's actually done some solid work in other shows like Irresponsible Captain Tylor (OVA 3) and Gokusen. It's not his fault the directors wanted him to act like a mook with the sniffles.

hahahahaha
why stop there? Have Luci Christian put up a Southern accent for fake Robin, and have Eric Vale drop out a HAHAHOI for fake Luffy XD
-
Sonny Strait should put on his most scratchiest voice to mimic Jason Griffith's Usopp. I'd be surprised.
-
I always forget, but which of the Japanese Straw Hats voiced which of the fakes originally?

Fake Luffy: Hiroaki Hirata (Sanji)
Fake Zoro: Kappei Yamaguchi (Usopp)
Fake Nami: Ikue Otani (Chopper)
Fake Sogeking: Kazuki Yao (Franky)
Fake Sanji: Kazuya Nakai (Zoro)
Fake Chopper: Mayumi Tanaka (Luffy)
Fake Robin: Akemi Okamura (Nami)
Fake Franky: Cho (Brook) -
I hope they follow the same pattern as the Japanese did.
Eric Vale did voice Luffy in the initial test dub, so we've finally come full circle.
-
Neat! I hope they had a lot of fun dubbing these episodes. Hopefully we'll get some commentary on one of them with the fake Straw Hats.
-
Oh my god that is going to be so freaking hilarious. I hope they go full 4kids imitation with that!

Having Sabat voice the fake Sanji isn't a coincidence.
@The:

Sonny wouldn't be doing the voice of his fake though. He'd be doing the fake Zoro.

Is inevitably reminded of this picture:
-
All this reminds me of a certain picture…
[qimg]http://i.imgur.com/tN0Kj9v.jpg[/qimg]4kids version wouldn't have visible female bellybutton. Blue would it allow swords either. [emoji23]
-
But…why is brook the same?
-
There wasn't a Fake Brook.
-
Wow I just realized now that there wasn't a fake Brook. I swear I never noticed that for some weird reason before. Probably because no one could figure out how the hell to imitate a walking skeleton.

He was not widespread known as a member of the crew until the reunion.

one of the fake crew in a skeleton Halloween costume would have been awesome …

Funimation just posted on their twitter that one piece will be simuldubbed!!!
Is this real???
-
So I take it you're not even gonna post the tweet?
Edit: it literally says simulcast right next to it. So no.
Not gonna happen

I was on my phone sorry.
weird that they posted a tweet about simuldubs with a picture of one piece among them.
-
Season 9 Pt 1 trailer is out
*no voice preview of the Fake Hats though
-

Yeah no worries.
And they actually do that all the time, and it still pisses me off. Every time I get my hopes up, even though I know it'll never happen.
-
Fun trailer; doesn't really get me too excited, though. Not crazy about the mini-arc coming up. Will look forward to getting into the heat of Fishmen Island.
We should hear in a few days whether or not Voyage 2 will be out in July. Keeping my fingers crossed. Would love to start seriously catching up to the sub.
-
Really wish they would have framed the trailer as "The Strawhats are BACK" and then just show the fake Strawhats.
-

They always list One Piece (and DragonBall Super) with their simuldubs, which I believe are the only series they release in a subbed simulcast format anymore.
I know that in the manga Oda originally drew post-timeskip Zoro with the wrong sheath on Shusui. I noticed in the trailer shusui had the right sheath but still had the cord on it from the wrong sheath.
-
So this set we heard the voices of Van der Decken, Hammond, and Caribou? No Hody? Anyone else?

Wadatsumi, Hyouzou (I think rather briefly) and the 3 Princes. Also Hody does have a brief scene towards the end of the boxset
