@Geoff-s:
My god… I just watched the fourth episode up on Jetstream. Those three pirates at the beginning were horrible. I wouldn't have minded the stereotypical pirate talk, but the accents and the acting was so horrible. So I went on with the episode thinking it couldn't get any worse... Then Shanks was introduced. I'd go so far as to say that even Usopp's voice is better than that one.
After that, the rest of the episode was typical 4kids. This episode is worse than the last three, though.
Now that you said that I feel like I have to change my signature for some reason now…But yea Shanks is one of the people I cant stomach, I mean I can go with Usopp. Sanji ugghhh,and Chopper and VIVI, but NOT Shanks. I have to turn off the tv when I see him on the dub.Did anyone else DIE inside some more after Sanji's Fee Fie Fo Fum crap or if you rewatched Shanks "man level" go down with the cork gun and pretty much everything else.
One Last thing (Sorry I HAD to type this):As 4Kids scriptwriter Michael Haigney admitted in an interview "I’ve never played the game, seen the series or read the comics" when asked about his experience with the Sonic the Hedgehog anime Sonic X. Critics argue that this level of insensitivity to the source material has altered some of these titles to the point where they have lost the qualities that originally made them appealing in Japan. 4Kids Entertainment remains largely unmoved by these claims, stating "…if [anime fans] want this programming to come to the United States then they're going to have to accept the fact that it's going to be available in two styles.")and(Kid's today don't read . . . They haven't read, and they're not going to start now" and that manga is a problem and is "trying to put a square peg in a round hole in the U.S.") More like one style..and after I read that Sonic thing my mouth dropped….and for the manga thing, He's saying Manga doesn't fit?! What about terrible acting 24/7 puns?UGHHH Sorry,I always have a lot to say.
