Like others have said, 4Kids thought they were improving the show. Some of the stuff was to make the show more kid-friendly, other stuff was because they thought it was stuff kids liked (the awful rap theme, the editing out of any text Japanese or otherwise because "kids don't read," etc), and other stuff they just thought they were doing better, such as the music, I suppose. (Or was changing the music to save them money?)
One thing was odd, though: making Usopp very unlikable. They gave him an awful voice, cut out some of his flashbacks (from what I heard), got rid of some scenes of character development… Though now that I think about it, they probably did that because Usopp was a liar, so they figured that if they made him more unlikable, little kids wouldn't want to lie like him. I dunno, I'm probably wrong, but the theory makes sense in my mind.
I liked her as Ash, probably since Pokemon was one of the first animes I've ever watched. XD;
Her Robin dub voice wasn't omgz bad but it would've been better without the accent. Man, it's bizarre hearing her normal voice, though, after hearing all her different voice acting roles. XD
Didn't she voice someone in the Kirby dub? I forgot who…
…Okay, someone tell me I misheard. I could've sworn at the end of the ep, Satori yelled out "LET GO OF ME, YOU FGGT!" o__O
I have the game… sort of.
It's actually a present for my lil' sis's burfdae, which is tomorrow, so she's playing it right now and I have to wait 'til she's done playing for the day so I can start up my own file. :/
I watched the intro though and a minute or two of my sis' trying to figure out the controls.
Also, I'm guessing you can't play 2-player without a second nunchuck? If so, I'm gonna' have to go buy one so I can play 2-player with my sis'.
The only two moments where I cried were the end of the Luffy VS Usopp fight and Merry's funeral.
However, with Merry's funeral, I had been spoiled for it even before I read it in the manga by some retarded joke website. However… I thought Merry was dead when Kaku opened the gates and she fell into the water. When she returned, I thought that the joke website was wrong, so I had my hopes up until the next chapter (I was reading this in the manga; it was before the anime got there) when she SNAPPED IN HALF. I was just kindof... stunned, and then I was sobbing and clinging to my Charmander plush when I read the rest of the chapter. D: That was one of the saddest moments I've ever seen/read in any form of fiction. I cried a bit when I saw it in the anime form, but it wasn't as big of a reaction as when I read it in the manga, 'cuz I already knew it was coming.
A lot of the other moments made my eyes water, but those were the two biggest ones for me.
Man, this ep had some great lines! XD
"Why does Nami get to ride the waver? I wanna' ride it… FALL OOOOOOFF!!"
"For your meal we have sky lobster with a special sauce, and some sky fruits that I can't pronounce!"
There were others but I can't think of them exactly at the moment. I was laughing quite a bit during this ep, though.
Conis and her dad (I didn't catch his name and it's been forever that I've seen this arc D:) had some really nice voices. I hope the priests have good voices, too. :3
BTW, was "GOD" still on the Lobster's head as it was taking the Going Merry up to Skypiea? I swear I saw it...
Good ep. Had me laughing quite a few times. %3
I'll admit to being a tad disappointed with the We Are song, but I didn't know beforehand that it was a rush-job. (I had been wondering about that, though, and that's what I was thinking as I heard the song.) If they're fixing it in the DVD release, though, then that's fine by me. No complaints. :3
…I'll admit to liking the 4Kids version of We Are, though. XD; Although it messed me up when the music for We Are came up in the episode, because half of my brain was trying to pick out the 4Kids lyrics, which weren't there. >>;
That was a nice ep. %3
The "Auger" to "Ogre" thing bugs me a tad, but it's no big deal. Other than that the ep was fine. I'm okay with the "G. Zass" thing and Bible thing (…sorta. It'll always bug me a bit when religious references are edited out of anything due to being a religious person myself) since that stuff HAS to be edited out. --; But this was an excellent episode, really. I loved the voices. %3
Huh, I didn't know Rafitte's name was pronounced that way, though. (Not referring to the r/l thing.)
Except they specifically said they were purposely going to try and sneak the cig in.
Oh, did they? When me and my sis' were watching the ep we both were surprised to see the cig. Sweet that they sneaked that in. :D
Was the toothpick edit any good? I didn't get a good glance at it. It had me fooled, though, 'cuz I couldn't remember if Cricket had a cigarette in the original or not. I didn't realize it was an edit until someone mentioned it here.
EDIT: Gaaah… Sneaked, not snuck.
One Piece, getting respected at GameFAQs? Which forums are you looking at? Oo; I visit the One Piece: Grand Adventure forums on occasion (they've died down quite a bit though) and there've been a few topics about the dub there. Some of the guys there HATE the new dub.
BTW, what did they end up calling the drink in the bar that Luffy and Blackbeard are disagreeing over?
They just said "drink," IIRC. What was it originally?
EDIT: Misread, nevermind.
Just so you all know, they probably cut the preview due to the fact One Piece started a minute later, thus probably causing a time restraint.
Even if they did completely cut the preview for good, you'll all get over it. ¬_¬
I just hate how CN has to make Funi cut the stuff out so they can put in commercials for toys no one's gonna' buy or throw away two days after they do buy it. >>;
But then again I'd rather they cut the eyecatchers and previews rather than actual content from the episodes that wouldn't need to be cut for other reasons.
ARGH, STUPID CN. I wanted to see the ep preview. D: D: D:
I dunno, did anyone else get a bit teared up towards the end of the ep where Bellamy was ranting about dreams being lame and stuff and started beating up Luffy? :<
EDIT: Also, heh, I've only seen the original of this ep once so I didn't notice the cut stuff. I can totally understand why they cut some of it out, such as Sarquiss licking the knife or whatever. Can you imagine little kids trying to imitate THAT?
Here’s my new amv about Zoro's journey from boy to man:
And yes, I do know I use Disney songs too much for my amvs! lol
It doesn't matter if you use a lot of Disney songs; they all work pretty well. %B
That was pretty spiffy. :D I like how you used the Tarzan!Zoro clip at the credits, too. That was fitting. XD
My sis' the Ace fangirl is also a Zoro fangirl and says that she liked this, too. XP
Really liking Chopper's voice–I was cracking up every time he was freaking out. XDXD Buggy's voice sounded excellent! X3 Ace's voice was nice, too.
...excuse me, I meant HEAT-FIST TRACE. >_O The "Trace" part I can deal with, but I was kinda' ticked when I found out it was still "Heat-fist." Stupid Cartoon Network. --;
Yaaay, eyecatchers~
…I'm so happy I can't express my feelings in words.
So I'll express it in keyboardmash instead.
SDL:JFLSDJKL:SJDKL:FJLSK:DFJLK:SDJFKLSJDLFJSLDJHOLYCRAPTHATWASOMURRINAWESOMEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Now we have to wait a whole week for the next ep, and I have to endure a whole week of my little sister fangirling over the fact that Ace will be in the next episode. @____X
i gotta get in on the first page
yay i did
anyway, wow like an hour and a half, this is going to so rockanyone coming to the SoP chat?
SoP chat?
And there's an AP chatroom? oo; I did not know this. What IRC server?
Yeesh, 9 pages since I last checked two days ago. @x; Has anything interesting been said since then? I don't feel like going through all those pages. oO;
Man, I hope my parents go to bed soon. They won't wanna' watch an anime. ><; If they don't I'll have to watch the new dub on the crappy TV in the basement… (Well it's not that crappy but it's not nearly as big as the one in the family room. :/)
So, two hours... Heh, hard to believe we've been waiting since... uh... several months ago for this. XD;
I'm gonna' hope my parents go to bed early so I can watch it on the decent-sized TV in my family room. Gonna' watch it with my lil' sis' and maybe my brother, if he wants to. (He watched the last 7 minutes or so of the last dub ep last week…)
I'm hidden but I forgot why. o__o edits profile
I hope the laughs don't get left out. :/ If they do, I hope at least Saul's laugh gets left in, considering how important it is in Robin's flashback…
EDIT: ...Hang on. We're waiting to see if CN is going to have any commercials for the new dub... but is anyone actually WATCHING CN to see, or are they just waiting for someone to report it? XD;
I think I'll have my sis' leave Cartoon Network on the TV all day since she doesn't have school. Then she might be able to see if there's a commercial...
@Really:
Lol, everyone saying "ODA APPROVED THE VOICES, THEY CANT BE BAD". Well, Oda is a human just like us, and he has opinions, and it was his opinion that they fit for his characters, but some people may not like them because we're all different, and besides, do you really expect a guy like Oda to just flat out reject the voices?
No, but I expect a guy like Oda to know his characters well enough to know what would be good voices for them.
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. ^_^
THUD
You totally ignored my post, didn't you?
Go to Kirby's Rainbow Resort and download the subs there. x_X
It's pronounced "Day-day-day." :/
@Lobster:
Then you wouldn't be a casual viewer, now would you?
Mahahaha~
Sure you would, murhur. I was a casual watcher of DBZ a long time ago. If I had never heard of One Piece and just happened to watch one of the Funi eps, I would have instantly recognized Krillin's voice. Not that that's a bad thing, though. I like the voice. :D
I remember that dude…
How much does D-D-D owe from him throughout the entire series?
"Dedede" is not pronounced "Dee-dee-dee," so please don't shorten it to "D-D-D." @x;
I dunno. In one ep a good chunk of it is payed off when the Holy Nightmare Corporation sends some kinda' ghost to scare Dedede into paying them.
@Lobster:
Well I never saw that much of the 4kids dub version. I've only seen the "Chief Kawazaki" episode.
But Kirby, King Dedede, and that "Demon Beast Nightmare, in the form of a sales associate (Dedede always orders stuff from)"; had good voices, if I recall.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9b/Salesguy.jpg/260px-Salesguy.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Didn't they keep the BGM too?
And did 4kids air the devil kirby episode?
The original music was cut, names were changed (Lololo and Lalala to Fololo and Falala, Escargon to Escargoon, Fumu to Tiff, Bun to Tuff, Memu to Lady Like, Parm to Sir Ebrum, etc…), voices were BUTCHERED (Sword and Blade, who were probably in their early twenties or late teens or something to that effect in the original, sounded like fifty-year-old CHAIN SMOKERS in the dub, and whenever Kirby's lines were dubbed over they sounded like crap (so his voice was inconsistent to boot), MK had that awful accent...), and there was a crapload of unnecessary edits (camouflage tank to ugly orange tank, actual sculptures and paintings from earth being painted over to look retarded, etc...)
I'll admit, though, I did find Dedede's dub voice kinda' amusing though. (Although the mispronunciation of his name was annoying...)
@Lobster:
Person A: Made out a' rubber!!
Person B: How did that happen?
Person C: Yo Ho ho!!
Person D: Hey you n00bs down front!! Break it up!!!!!
Person E: Yo Funi! Crank it up!! (the volume)
Person F: Like tyyyyahh… How are we supposed to hear the dub? (face palm)
What the? watches video again …XD! I didn't notice that 'cuz I was trying to hear the music and stuff. Pretty funny.
Thanks to whoever uploaded the video. :3
@Lobster:
What has 4Kids actually dubbed well?
This is all I can think of:
Pokemon
Yugio
and…
The Kirby dub was awful. Not as bad as One Piece, but still pretty stinkin' bad. What are you talking about?
Luffy and Usopp's argument before the fight, definitely.
Oh, I'm glad I checked this topic before I left for class! Chopper's voice is PERFECT and Luffy and Usopp's voices are great. X3 Awesome!
But… for some reason some of the videos that were linked to on this thread were taken down. Buh? Oo;
From what little I could hear of them, the voices sounded nice. :D Especially Chopper's. His voice is ADORABLE. X3 They'll all take some getting used to, though, but only because I'm used to the 4Kids voices…
But man, people are complaining ALREADY? That was a THIRTY SECOND VIDEO CLIP. Yeesh. >>;
They weren't, except for the Q and A section (and the guys there said they weren't sure when it would be airing, so I'm surprised to find it seems to be the 29th o.0 ).
THUD
Well, I just wasted two hours of my life. XDXDXD
Sweet, glad I checked the topic one more time before I left for church.
HOORAY for dubbed themes! <3 That's what I was hoping for.
FUNi likes to make their own logos for their shows. See DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, and FMA.
I wouldn't know; I've never seen the originals of any of those, bar like… three clips from the original FMA.
Man, I hate studying evolution. kicks her World Civ book
Question semi-related to the topic: Why's the Funimation One Piece logo gold instead of blue?
So…what time exactly is this supposed to air?
Cause either way, I'm going out for dinner. Later.
It ALREADY aired. We're waiting for the clips to leak to Youtube.
I should be studying for my World Civ. test, but I can't focus. –;
Man, 78 folks looking at this thread and refreshing it like mad waiting for the preview to come out…
As soon as someone links to the Youtube video once it's uploaded, this thread will explode.
@Komrade:
Wait…so are we waiting for Cell Phone quality videos from a crowded room?
Uh...uh...yay?
Camera quality, apparently, which isn't as bad.
Hey, it somethin' before we actually get to see the eps on TV.
Yes, yes! I just wish the clip's come up already! Wait is a cruel mistress D:
ARGH, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, I'm watching the clip as SOON as it's uploaded. @_@
@Kairouseki:
Good to hear the VAs are great . I'm still wondering if I should watch if a video is posted. I want to watch it so badly, yet I want to be surprised on the 29th .
Yeah, I know how you feel… Tough decision. oo;
@DanialG:
Well, apparently my friend has to upload everything, he only has a few voice samples because well he used a camera instead of a video camera. 15-30mintues at the least
Edit- He said that the voices were a LOT better than the samples we heard before.
Yay for great actors!
SWEET. :D The voice samples were good already. I can't wait to see how good they are in the new dub.
Aaauggh I'm gonna' be so tempted to watch one of the videos when they come out. @___X
