Strangely, the English Dub episode title for 337 as pulled from the preview of 336 is "The Mysterious Skeleton Floating Through the Fog! Venture into the Devil's Sea!", whereas on Funimation's online streaming, it is listed as "Plunging into the Devil's Sea! The Mysterious Skeleton Floating in the Fog!" Strange inconsistency.

Pretty nice that Strong World is getting a UK DVD/Blu-Ray release. I don't like PAL transfers nor subtitled discs, so I'm not really bothered about the subtitled announcement.

If Manga UK are doing this, I wouldn't be surprised if Madman Austraila are considering something similar, as they usually work together on things. I hope that this won't give Funimation even less of a reason to dub them, been as Manga may not wish to sub licence the dub from them to release films that they've already released.

I've just got back from London MCM Expo, and at the Manga UK Panel, when someone asked about One Piece, the panel hosts laughed and dodged the question, saying things like "I knew you would ask about that!" I'm not saying it means anything, but it wasn't a flat-out no. Furthermore, when someone asked about DBZ Kai, they said that soon, Toei would announce something regarding DBZ Kai. Maybe Manga UK have done a deal with them for both One Piece and DBZ Kai.

@Zephray:

They haven't bothered with the one piece specials. I doubt we'll get he Toriko special.

But I thought the crossover wasn't a 'special', but actually classed as episode 1 of the Toriko anime.

Seems Funimation have licensed Toriko for a home video release, with the first release on January 8th, 2013. I wonder if that means we will get the crossover.

Wow, fantastic news on season 5 and Strong World. I wonder if the Strong World licence include episode 0, if so we're gonna hear a lot of new voices.

I hope the wait for Season 5 isn't that long, would be rubbish if the gap between the English and Japanese release got any larger!

Anyway, I was watching a review on youtube and came across this image of Funi's ending 15:

However, I noticed that this shot doesnt match any shot from the Japanese ending 15, the gaps between the characters are much larger in the English version:

Was there multiple versions of this ending in Japan, or have some of the character art pieces been rearranged in the Funi version?

Anyone have any theories as to why opening 5 and ending 15 were not able to be dubbed? I can't see why Funi would be allowed to dub opening 5 and ending 15 for episodes 231+, but not for episodes 207-230.

Judging by the comment they have just posted, it looks like they are going to attempt to get the rights to release the Collections in the UK for a RRP of £24.99. I can't see Toei agreeing to double the amount of episodes for the same price, but I hope I'm wrong :o

They're asking on Facebook now:
