Kirby had replaced BGM. All the anime 4kids dubbed (except for Pokemon and apprantly Dinosaur King) got replaced BGM.
Even Pokemon and Dinosaur King only use the original BGM about half the time, the quiet bits have music added to them.

"Dedede" is not pronounced "Dee-dee-dee," so please don't shorten it to "D-D-D." @x;
I know this is really off-topic but…
Anyone else thinkin' about Carlos Mencia now?

Of course. It's pronounced "King Diety"~
PS: I just watched episode 100 (the last episode),… and OMG. WTF was the buget on that episode? Unlimited? XD
Carlos Mencia
OWNED!!!^%#$
It's pronounced "Day-day-day." :/
You know, there's been something that has been really bugging me. Why do you think 4kids edited Marines to Navy, and why were English words cut out? :wassat:

cause kids don't read and they're afraid of words
Kirby was dubbed pretty well. There wasn't that much removed but I could have done witout the added BGM. The opening was awesome though. ^_^
Shaman King was fine, another awesome opening, the didn't really edit the fight scenes just the blood. All it needed was some better dialog and voice direction.

You totally ignored my post, didn't you?
Go to Kirby's Rainbow Resort and download the subs there. x_X

Pokemon lost more and more of its music as the series went along. By the time Advanced came out, there was maybe about two or three pieces of BGM actually kept.

No. NO. NO!
Please let's not bring up the Honduran. :(

Because they actually ARE part of the Navy? The term used for them in the Japanese written manga as well as verbally said in the Japanese anime is kaigun. Which translates to Navy. If they said k__aiheitai, then that would mean Marines. The problem lies within 4Kids having terrible Photoshop skills and not knowing how to creatively recreate the same style of art used in the original. The Navy symbol in that dub was simply looking like a sticker slapped on the hat that said Navy in poor print.
As for English words being cut out, lord only knows. 4Kids edited out FICTIONAL text in Pokemon.
Guys!? Did you guy here the "latino" 4Kids rap dub opening!?
omg… o.O
I've seen it.. notice Zoro is Zoro ;)
I wonder if they'll dub the Funimation episodes now
Late to the party but eh. Ah 4KIDS OP from the first time in 2004 when you opened with that corny but rather hilarious rap song, I had a feeling we were in for a rough ride. Your first few episode were decent and even had a few lines from the manga. Even with the craziness that was the hammer gun and super soakers and "it was only a cap gun" line and I respected that. But then around the Arlong Park you betrayed us all: skipped episodes, added lines and things that didn't happened plus just no emotion when it was truly needed. And the puns..oh the puns. It was cute the first few episodes but then you just went hogwild that I actually couldn't take it anymore and couldn't stand to plow through the last few episode. But now here we are 2007, three years later and end of the line. As the last of the Rainbow Mist arc drew to a close and stopped you from proceeding any further. I look back and remember your humbled beginning on a Saturday Morning line fore you sold us out to crappy editing during your stay on the Saturday Nights. It was fun but now it time to more on, it'll be a tough recovery for OP as we restart the journey in the middle of it adventure (especially the long haul that is the Skypeia arc) but am sure we'll make due. And who know perhaps we'll look back on you and laugh…or just forget. Eitherway it was...um interesting while it lasted. =P
Bon Voyage
(Yeah I have no life, shut up XP)
hey maybe 4Kids DVDs will be collectors items one day. I can just see them on ebay
@fake:
"RARE!!! BAD dub of One Piece!
This is NOT the Funimation uncut DVDs. This version was released by a company a long time ago that went out of business. Most of these were destroyed because they're so awful but now's your chance to own a piece of One Piece history!"
or something
Bad News, Now CN's Schedule lists "Into The Mist" for re-airing…
First TVGuide, Then Zap2It, Now CN... Could this be the return of the nightmare?
-Pokemon
-Kirby
-Ultimate Muscle
-Fighting Foodons
-Shaman King
-Dinosaur King (very, very well done)
-arguably Yu-Gi-Oh! GXThose were all dubbed pretty damn well (again, GX is arguable). There were a few mediocre dubs, but the only 4Kids dubs I would really call travesties would be One Piece and Sonic X. So I do think people really overreact about 4Kids.
The Shaman King dub was good?
The Shaman King dub was good?
The second half actually had a very decently dubbed. They actually left alone the Hao massacre scene, for example, completely intact. (Hao covered in blood, and licking if off all left in the dub…) However, the first part of Shaman King had it's fair share of pointless edits, though. I'm not quite sure if the second half was dubbed in the way it was, because 4Kids had planned on making minor changes of the dialogue and what not to make it easier to do the uncut release... But it would make sense, really.
Ah well...

The one good thing this could do is this: If the folks watch the first Funi ep and see it's different and/or better, and then they see the next episode is just a rerun of the old 4Kids stuff, it'll reaffirm just which dub it is they wanna see. 'Course, that won't work if they happen to miss this week's ep…
Why would they air into the mist? I don't get it… they JUST showed that one... at LEAST show a rerun that's good.. not that.. any 4kids is good ;__;
I think there's a moron doing the scheduals up at CN who got confused and fudged up which episode is sopposed to air. Hopefully it'll fix itself out…
but other places are all reporting it too ;_;
If the american cartoon network is as hopeless as ours its bound to be a mistake. We regularly have dodgy episode descriptions
Yo, let me present you guys wit' a li'l scenario: Ordinary viewer, ignorant about the new dub, proceeds to watch this weekend's ep.
OV: Huh, this seems different… Hey, Ussop sounds cooler now. And he's got Krillin's/original TOM's voice! Hey, everyone sounds different and/or better! This episode seems more intense than usual... The music seems a lot better too... Hardly any jokes at all... Aw, now it's over, but I could get used to this. And I thought things seemed familiar here: it's Funimation handling it now! Awesome! I always thought DBZ was good, and now they've got One Piece! Can't wait to see what happens next week!
Next week, Into the Mist airs...
OV: Hey! What's the deal? Why are we back to 4Kids' episodes? I liked that new Funimation version! C'Mon, Toonami, I want the new show! If it's gonna be that good from now on, I don't need garbage like this version! I'll watch it every week to keep it on, I promise, so just bring back the new stuff!
A little romanticized, but you get the point, I think?
Guys. I said it before, I'll say it again. Likely an error. They just fixed their schedule. e_e;
Huh? Oh, so it is.

That… doesn't sound anything like how a casual viewer would react... ^_^;

I'm just saying that if they had actually showed another 4Kids ep after the first Funi ep, I'm sure many people would have noticed, and more than one would probably not wanna see the 4Kids stuff after getting a taste of the Funi stuff, thus driving up the ratings of the show once Funi was back on the air. If that had happened, of course.
If they didn't want to see it, it'd most likely be because it was a rerun.
After just one episode of the FUNImation dub I doubt they will notice the diffrences. Besides the new VA, the way none of the scenes from the openings are in the show, and some real violence with blood included. And even after the rest of this season has aired I doubt the ordinary viewer will notice much more than that.
I'm not so sure about that. I think that people will notice if One Piece switches hands. When the Pokemon dub's company was changed this new season, everyone I know that watches Pokemon could tell instantly. Pokemon and One Piece are very different, to be sure, but there's still a chance that some people will pick up on it.
If I was still watching CN, and didn't know about the switch, and that rap didn't appear … I'd think some shit was up too.
Yeah, kids would probably tell soemthings up like Pokemon. The only commercial we'll see is movie 8.
I found the last few minutes of the last 4Kids ep on YouTube, and I can't get tired of watching it; not only because I like to relive that scene of the ship symbolically smashing the old dub crew to allow the new dub crew to be reborn, but also because I actually find Rapanui's ending tirade quite amusing.
Also, I'm planning on watching it again just minutes before the new dub is set to start, as a lead in to the greatness we're about to receive. If anyone wants to do the same, here it is:
Yes, Cinder uploaded that. We've known about it for quite some time already…

Well, fine. Then just go ahead and ignore the part about me finding it and enjoy the rest of the post.
The brand new One Piece Dub is only a day and a half a way. So I thought "Well, before the new one comes out, let's relive the 'glory' of the old one". So, you can now watch the One Piece 4kids Dub 'marathon'! From the First til the Final episode… without having to watch the 102 in the middle! ENJOY (If you can)!

I'm sorry, I don't appreciate horror.
I thought they did Rapanui's little tirade pretty well too. And the actor seemed to put some effort into it.
Lol, yeah, it was funny.
"I'll be VERY UPSET if you DON'T COOPERATE since I lack the REINFORCEMENTS to keep you at bay. If you try to make a run for it I'll be extreamly UPSET!"
Would someone the end of "Zero Tolerence"? Or send me a clip or something? I need the line where Crocodile says, "I always win, by hook or by crook!!"
I want to make a Funi celebration AMV, but I need a clip of Crocodile saying that, to complete it.
Make sure you include the line in episode 3 where Zolo says "That was some pretty bad acting back there." I think that pretty much sums up the entirety of the english One Piece so far.
well, im off to the FUNi Thread, later…
i've been reading here and there… and i've been at the Funi thread for a while...
anyways, since the FUNi show is going to come, i decided to ditch this thread for the new dub's thread...
Wasn't there an episode where Luffy once said "But I'm not acting."
Wasn't there an episode where Luffy once said "But I'm not acting."
Yeah, when he battles Don Kreig.
heh I went to watch episode 1 of 4Piece… I sat through about a fourth of it then I skipped through to see the Coby/Luffy scene... funny how Luffy didn't hit him XD
but yeah I couldn't watch the whole thing... which is sad considering that's one of the best dubbed episodes
Wasn't there an episode where Luffy once said "But I'm not acting."
Hehe, I think I have a clip of that.
(Bit belated) Funimation taking the reins over from 4Kids talk about unexpected.
you bumped the topic to say THAT?
