Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

Katakuri doesn’t get a voice until halfway through the arc, right? I don’t care a ton about the other members, except Perospero and Brûlée. Gonna be a minute on all them, especially if they take a season break.
For as short as Zou is, it sure does give us a good number of new and important voices: Carrot, Jack, Dog, Cat, Raizo, Pedro, etc.

Same here, I can't help but picture Kate Higgins as Reiju
-
Not today, eh? Bummer. I’m 100% betting they figured they’d wait to announce it at Galaxycon.
-
is galaxy con even like… a thing where stuff gets announced? i don’t think so. usually that’s gonna be like, your own event. i at least feel like they wouldn’t delay it for the explicit purpose of announcing it there, that would be kinda silly.
best case scenario at this point though i guess, so i wouldn’t complain.
-
I mean, their last “announcement” was one sentence during an intro at a simulcast event. I won’t be surprised if they say the new set will stream while they introduce or sign-off the event. It isn’t like it’s some big announcement.
-
i just think they don’t really generally happen at galaxycon since it’s not like a direct funi event. i feel like your point about it being a relatively small announcement, while true, kinda makes me question why you’d think they’d wait for the panel in the first place. But once again I do hope you’re right. more unexpected things have happened.
-
It’s not so much for the announcement’s sake as for the event’s sake. Having something to advertise during the event or “news to break,” even if small, is good for the event.
-
i just think that galaxycon is kinda it’s own thing free from announcements, but we’ll see i guess.
-
@Blake:

They can announce the sets wherever and whenever. Announcing it at galaxycon wouldn’t be new or out of the ordinary
-
Yes they most certainly CAN, just based upon my own experience I just personally don’t find it very likely.
-
I don’t know why except for stubbornness. Small announcements happen at cons or at online events all the time.
-
Just because galaxycon is more of a 3rd party thing, where other events are directly by funi. You’ll notice even when funi is at a con announcements will be at the industry panel instead of the one piece thing.
Anything is possible, I was just stating what I think. If I’m wrong then cool. I’ll be happy. Really nothing else to it.
-
Blakey, you post videos right, can you please let us know when you upload Homing being killed by Doflamingo?
-
I didn’t wanna post every key scene from the flashback, and really the way the scene is paced it doesn’t exactly clip very well.
-
Also, people should just buy funimation streaming. It’s like seven dollars a month and you get 13 new OP subs each month almost. Don’t post all the clips and undercut their sales.
-
I mean I post maybe a clip per episode on average, sometimes being none and very rarely exceeding two. Either way if you're on the internet there are literally so many easier ways to obtain these things free that I don't really think I would effect that at all. Official people involved even interact with the account semi-often (which im sure toei and funi probably dislike, but i dont think its the biggest deal to them either).
-
Well, this is mostly stupid questions so far. Doesn’t sound like anyone is organized enough to announce anything.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Nope. Not a thing. Huh. Something tells me is isn’t dropping on Tuesday.
-
Yeah, thats mostly what I meant. I don't think theres much communication with galaxycon and the properties they run panels for other than allowing it. Their panels (or their virtual ones at least) are just kinda people chilling over video calls. I often find myself frustrated by how off topic they can get. Like don't get me wrong I'm here at least in part for the people but like, I feel like they only discussed one piece like 50% of the time. This was why I didn't really expect them to announce anything, even though I was really hoping otherwise.
-
I was hoping Mike would speak up at the end, but no luck.
-
Caught up on the sets. Marathoned the flashback. Great stuff. Ray Chase did a really wonderful job, as did Law’s kid VA. Didn’t get me to tears though, for whatever reason. Manga was more successful at that.
Welp, now that I’m caught up (doesn’t usually happen—usually account for a 1-3 episode buffer in my rationing), I sure hope they release on Tuesday. Knowing how close they are in production, I kind of doubt it’ll happen though. Especially if they weren’t even ready to make an announcement at Galaxycon (or as a blog post during the Galaxycon panel).
Sucks that we still have three sets left. That flashback feels so climactic—feels like it should end next set. Ah well. Here’s hoping they can get finished fast. I’m ready for the next arc.
-
Is the episode where Doffy kills his father released yet? I will search clips on my own but I need to know.
-
Yes, 706 I believe.
-
It wasnt the episode I wanted but god 706 IS FUCKING AMAZING.
God Corazon is fucking amazing again. Also i REALLY wanted to know what they translated his "Aishiteruze!" to!
EDIT:No, it really was this episode! GOOD TIMES! Homing's final moments werent as I hoped but the Corazon death scene was TOP NOTCH.
-
Anyone want to put money down on tomorrow?
-
No thanks, last time I did that it didn't end well….
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
In a cruel twist of fate, the reverse psychology didn't work.
-
Man, they're taking a month off. Probably scrambling to stay far ahead.
-
I wouldn’t necessarily say that, it took 7 weeks between voyages 4 and 5 which we haven’t hit yet. Unfortunately I just don’t think things are going to be quite as fast. My prediction is that while like, 4 weeks or so won’t be unheard of they’ll take up to 8 weeks sometimes. Either way we’re only half way through June, I’m confident we’ll get a voyage within the month at least.
-
So Funimation is having the "Summer 2021" preview on Friday 18th where they announce what new Anime titles they have picked up to Simulcast during the Summer season. They also hinted at other announcements. My theory is that because they haven't announced the slates for September 2021 and it is past the usual 15th when they do announce them, they may not announce them until the stream on Friday. They also mentioned they are going to announce new figures for the FUNimation shop on Friday. I am quite curious and wondering if the next One Piece set may be announced on Friday for Digital and Streaming as well, hopefully starting Tuesday, 22nd June for Digital. We can only hope if it is meant to be jam packed with announcements.
-
Aha. That makes sense. They were saving it to have an extra announcement for this event.
Not expecting anything extra, but it sure would be nice to get those movies soon…
-
If you'll recall their fall 2020 one was where they announced S10 V4 and showed the dressrosa preview so yeah this seems like a shoe in. If we don't get an announcement I'll be concerned.
-
I am a bit worried. I thought the Corazon death episode would create much discussion around here… and the activity has decreased instead.

I personally haven't seen it yet. I've been rationing episodes until the next set gets released. I just got to 700 (start of Law's Flashback)
The set of episodes leading up to it are still as slow as I remember, but the dub helps it be more enjoyable. I'm liking everyone's voices and there are some good animation bits here and there
-
I mean, theres not much to discuss except "its good". I feel like this thread has always had more mileage when it comes to future speculation. It's almost kind've too much discuss when new episodes comes out. A forget a lot of my initial thoughts cuz I try to avoid spamming too much when new episodes come out (though im not always succesfull…..).
-
Nah, Blake. Share your thoughts when you finish a set. It's fun that way.
Not a ton to say about the flashback other than that I was really impressed by kid Law and Cora's VAs. They nailed every scene; the acting seemed to take a step up during these episodes. The rest of the set is slow as hell. I think I complained already about that Usopp scene taking an entire episode of build up. I'll probably rewatch that episode less than filler arcs it peeved me so much.
-
I can understand that, although it sucks cuz how much I personally love that moment. I know it was like impossible to clip, so if you look at the one I posted it has really unsatisfying start and end points lol.
-
I’ve been showing my cousin the show on hulu, and she likes to watch with subtitles on, and in episode 31 it not only SOUNDS like Yosaku is saying Jinbei, but the subtitles actually reflect that.
-
I called him that for years. You'll find more than one inconsistency in the nearly ten years of OP dubbing.
-
Well it’s been more than 10 lol, but Im not complaining. It’s just I think I asked about that before and I didn’t have any real concrete way to prove he was saying Jinbei cuz the two sound rather similar, and I didn’t know where to find dubtitles. Because of the similarity it really doesn’t matter to me, but it’s interesting they changed it.
-
lol. I was going to write "10+," but I thought, "damn Blake will correct me if I'm wrong. It's probably less than ten so I'll put "nearly" to keep it vague."
-
Sorry, it being longer gives your point more merit if anything. It’s been 14 years I believe.
-
So a few months ago I mentioned that a buddy of mine took VA lessons from Sonny Straight. Well today he tells me he’s ALSO gonna take lessons from Chris Rager (not pronounced like rage apparently, but like ray) next month. He lives an exciting life.
-
They’re online lessons, I think. If you have the money and are interested, you just need to follow their social media and sign up when they offer them. What’s tougher is getting an audition at Funimation afterwards. I don’t think they really help with that.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I’ve been watching this since 4KIDS premiered their first episode, so I’ve lost track by now. Haha
-
From my understanding they certainly can HELP, it’s just not a garuntee or anything. I know a good number of their students have went on to work with funi in some capacity.
-
This class with Chris I believe is specifically for helping with auditions and things. And yeah it’s online and there’s a fee but the fact that we live in a time where such instruction is possible is incredible. We both have degrees in musical theatre so this is a lot like getting to take lessons from Neil Patrick Harris or sit in on a rehearsal with Stephen Sondheim.

Was kinda hoping the cover would be related to Usopps story, but this cover looks nice.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Oh! And we have an original special feature finally!
-
Cool cover! Wish Sabo or Bart were on the spine, though.
-
Rebecca hater club.
-
Eh. She isn’t my favorite, and her VA didn’t do her any favors. I was always angry when Kyros showed up to defend her (women can’t fight or find a clever way to win against a stronger opponent?). Following the Franky fight cringe, it rubbed me the wrong way, so I’m not a big fan of her arc and its slightly misogynist tones.
I always loved Vivi. Shirahoshi I liked more, too. There are a lot of crying princesses in OP but not usually enough strong, fighting women. That’s part of why I love BM (also her chaos energy keeps stuff real interesting and less predictable).
Bart is best. Why wouldn’t he be the best choice for spine? Ahem.
