Had a dream last night that the first batch of Zou episodes would be released on 11/9, which just so happens to be a Tuesday. Soon? Yes. But if my subconscious was able to be right about the day of the week, it must be true.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

Glad I am not the only one who has dreamed abt it before lol.
-
I think I dreamed about it coming back during the hiatus. Haha.
Early November does seem too soon. Hope youâre right, though! Iâm moving through this set very slowly to lessen the likely season break. I really think they want to get ahead before they keep pounding them out on a 1-1.5 monthly schedule. I know funimation tends to like to be far ahead of their releases.

I've been taught by the guy taking over for Apoo, Brent Mukai, and trust me when I say he's got this covered: https://twitter.com/brentmukai/status/1450562821117263875/photo/1

ShitâŚwhile reading about Brent Mukai, I saw the trending news that Chris Ayres has passed away.
-
Oh uh, this was 2 years ago now I guess. Bizarre.
-
I know its messed up, he had been in and out the hospital all year, truly tragic
-
Event on Nov 20th. Hopefully some announcement or something will be here?
-
Iâd be surprised if there wasnât.
-

No doubt it probably will be. Didn't the last livestream event that FUNimation hosted with RogersBase have voyage announcement? I am sure this one won't be any different. In fact since this is only a few weeks away on November 20th, and given their announcing pattern, I wouldn't be surprised if they announce Season 12, Voyage 1. So in a way, this is kind of to be expected.
Though personally for me, I would love an announcement that no one is expecting to come out from this, like maybe some of the older movies getting dubbed. But of course, probably won't happen⌠But a guy can dream.
-
Yeah, the ânew seasonâ announcement is more likely, but Iâm also hoping for movies.
â- Update From New Post Merge ---
Movies are unlikely, though. They would have released a new movie in theaters instead of rereleasing SW.
-
The situation with straw hat chase is still weird. Cuz like, on one hand, youâd think theyâd be making a bigger deal out of it. Half the posts abt it donât even mention it. But at the same time, generally if youâre doing a double feature itâs safe to assume theyâre both going to be in the same language, and youâd think they would specificy specifically if itâs NOT dubbed at that point.

Funny you should mention that as I was thinking the same thing. They advertised days for both dub and sub, and also said that the Mugiwara Chase feature was included in the screening (obviously both the sub and dub screenings as it didn't say that it was only going to be in sub screening), so it would be a bit weird to go to the dub screening and see the Mugiwara Chase feature play in sub before the dub movie plays
-
Man, realizing the SW theater situation has me so certain that they arenât announcing the movies. And I sincerely doubt a simuldub is coming. So most likely Iâll be right that Funimationâs â1000 Celebrationâ is just a social media campaign with nothing of merit.
But wonât know for sure until November! Fingers crossed even so. At the least, Iâm expecting a Zou release date.
-
I mean, I think the milestone within itself is worth celebrating. Like itâs about celebrating one pieces history, not itâs future. Saying it wont have any merit is kindve silly imo. Besides itâs not as if we have a shortage of one piece content as is.
-
When you think of it from this perspective it's a huge milestone. What other studios have solely dubbed this many episodes of an anime franchise in English, and at this speed?
Naruto (inc. Shippuden and Boruto) - roughly 850 (September 2005 to current)
One Piece - 746 episodes in 14 years (June 2007 to current)
Pokemon (not inc. 4Kids) - 696 episodes in (Sep 2006 to current -
It's official, David Sobolov is Kaido https://twitter.com/OnePieceAnime/status/1451699968561975297 . The more I look into him the more this seems like their most impressive actor pull ever tbh. Mans been in some pretty major stuff.
-
So the dub is continuing right?! Haha!!
-
Well I mean I do think it will, but this isn't confirmation. We've already heard Kaido.

-
So cool. Mike McFarland is amazing for the outreach he's done for One Piece casting. When a new major character is to be introduced, you never know who may show up in the role!
-
Ah, it's his birthday! (In whatever timezone he is at least I think). Wonder if thats coincidence or not.
The real arlong park was the friends we made along the way
-
David Sobolov is a great choice for Kaido. Takes some getting used to it, but as he goes more into his role as Kaido, the better it will sound.
-
Oh alright, I keep forgetting to mention this, but Karasu gets a line. Someone found out Matt Fowler put him on his resume, so there you go I guess http://https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/mattfowler. Tbh I just thought they didnât know who it was and treated him like an extra. He just kinda sounded like⌠a dude. But this seems to confirm the castings gonna stick. Who knows though, I think he literally only says a word or 2.

So of course the new batch didn't drop today. It's always something with Funi.

Yeah, my wife and I are peeved.

Are all the episodes even up on Microsoft for purchase?

That is good to know, at least it is pretty safe to say that there shouldn't be any break's between arcs. For me it is always a worry when a major arc ends thinking there is going to be a break again. But since Toei is now funding the dub, it is probably safe to assume there won't be any break's anymore as I am sure FUNi probably wan't to catch up as close to the sub as they can.

They could be recording and still take a few months break so they can get ahead in production again. Funimation likes to get ahead in production.
-
I donât understand why you keep making that point when you were also the one saying funi were releasing the dressrosa voyages as soon as they finished them.
-
Because this is their opportunity to have a natural stopping point and take a break. The company likes to get ahead of their releases. It seems likely to me.
-
If that were such a concern they would make sure they were ahead enough where they would still be towards the end of dressrosa. Not to mention, itâs clear that things are very different now, and now 2 companies are heavily involved. I think its a tad silly to assume a general trend a few years ago is and will always be the norm, especially when we critique this company in particular for inconsistency. Like, before it came back we wouldâve NEVER thought they would stop releasing on DVD first and instead⌠the microsoft store. We never wouldâve guessed we would⌠not have people credited. We never wouldâve guessed weâd get monthly releases.
Itâs like you completely change youâre perspective of whatâs likely or unlikely based upon wether itâs optimistic or pessimistic. Just seems like a weird thing to cling on to. I think calling it âlikelyâ is a bit of a stretch based on the available information.
-
This is how speculation works. You speculate based on industry standards and practices you know have existed before. I didnât say I was absolutely certain. Iâm speculating. Iâm saying, âprobably this might happen.â And unfortunately, past practices are better âevidenceâ of future occurrences than âit might change.â
â- Update From New Post Merge ---
Itâs not really a productive use of anyoneâs time to argue about what is more likely. Certainly I hope they donât take a break and keep releasing them as soon as they finish them. I just know they got a head start on DR and we quickly caught up to their recording, so it wouldnât surprise me if they took an extra month or two or three to get a little farther ahead so they can release the sets close together when it comes time.
-
Well, how about this. Dressrosa was previously 2 seasons. They changed this before they started dubbing it. Think, if being ahead was such a concern, why wouldnât they keep it that way and take a break after season 11? Itâs almost as if theyâre goal is to get as much out as fast as possible with minimal breaks.
-
Thatâs wholly unrelated to their production and release schedule. Again, itâs not worth anyoneâs time to argue speculation. We donât know anything.
â- Update From New Post Merge ---
Just watched the Sabo episodes in the new set. Had a much better time with them than I thought. JYBâs performance was great! Was lovely to hear Iva, Inazuma, Dragon, and young Sabo again, too! Iâm still not blown away by Dragonâs actor, but the rest were great.
-
So, when you use examples as to why you think a certain way, itâs understandable. But when I do speculation is bad? How exactly do you know thatâs unrelated? Iâm not saying there couldnât be any other reason, but thatâs a fairly logical one to assume.
-
Stop trying to pick a fight. You're welcome to speculate.
-
Okay look, Iâm sorry if I was confrontational, your logic just seemed inconsistent to me to the point I wanted to ask about it. Then it just kinda frustrated me when you seemed to want to dismiss literally any point I had, when I dont see how they were any less valid than yours. That being said, yeah looking back at how I worded some of it yes I can see how you would respond that way. Though I still donât agree with you. I donât wish to argue either, have a good day.
-

Iâm saying, âprobably this might happen.â And unfortunately, past practices are better âevidenceâ of future occurrences than âit might change.â
read this again. You kept saying I was wrong in my speculation. My point against you was that at least my speculation, which youâre so certain I was wrong about, is backed by past Funimation practices. So it doesnât make sense that youâd shoot down mine so easily and so readily believe anything without proof of past industry action.
Anyways, thereâs yet another explanation for you. Letâs get back to OP now and stop wasting time.
watched the Kaido episode in full. I wonder if the Beast Pirates will all have southern accents like that Sheephead guy did. Certainly would be easy to cast in Flower Mound.
Also, Hawkins tells a story that implies Kaidoâs demon race is from sky islands.
â- Update From New Post Merge ---
New interview.
-
What you are describing is exactly what you are doing. I never once said what you suggested was impossible. I was just saying there are other logical arguments that could be made, youâre the one shooting them down all matter of factly, right after you claimed you were merely speculating.
You may be right, you may be wrong. Thatâs not the point. Iâm more than willing to listen and consider what you have to say. I just wish you did the same. Thatâs all I have to say. If you still wanna reiterate fine, you can have the last word.
Anyways, thanks for sharing that, I probably would not have seen it otherwise. Pretty short though, like one quote lol. Also, they got the dates backwards. I already got tickets for the 7th so I got a bit worried for a sec and double checked. Hard to blame though I guess. Subs are almost always first in limited anime releases like this.
-
You two have been like this for years especially during that drought between Fishman island and Punk Hazard, so just get married already lol

Dude needs to learn to not argue with every speculation he disagrees with posted on a forum.

Iâd like to mention how good Fujitoraâs farewell was, I started to tear up a little. So few people mention this wonderful moment.

I think Blake posted that clip and everyone praised it a ton. Haven't gotten that far in my rationing. Really loved the Zou/Kaido episode. Very excited for the new arc to begin.
-
Man, I miss getting trailers before the new releases. Was always nice to get a hint of what was comingâparticularly when new arcs started up.
If they keep up the fast schedule, we could get WCI as soon as March. Whew. I donât love the first half of that arc, but man do I love the second half. Canât wait.
â- Update From New Post Merge ---
Third Zou set, we get the reverie prep and another long Kaido scene. Will be nice to hear Vivi and Shirahoshi again, among others. Hopefully there are no recasts.
I feel like no one ever mentioned him, but Momoâs actress doesnât a great job. Definitely a great casting choice there.
