thought this was cute https://x.com/dbaughactorman/status/1731395469220176371?s=46&t=Kq3IHPuSvKT2MXKx8HKScQ

I’m only learning about this now, thats so incredibly disappointing but unfortunately not surprising.

I really wanted to be positive about the merger but we’ve only had awful decision after awful decision since then. I worry for the future.

Probably shouldn’t bother me, but mildly annoying to me everyone keeps raving abt a scene where kaido quickly says “mommy” and going “WOAH THEY SAID NANI IN AN ENGLISH DUB???”. Like I heard that at first too but use your brains.

Did you miss that it was uncut and unedited?

Film Red confirmed for October

Tome was also recast I'm fairly certain. Dimple sounds rather unmistakably the same.

Not having a full cast list is unfortunately not an entirely new thing, although this is the first I'm hearing of it from CR specifically out of toei properties (I think a similar thing happened to DBS after toei took more control over production). Regardless it's utter bullshit. Credit your actors, give them reasonable hours and pay. At the very least have a CONVERSATION seeing how you could reach a compromise that could ultimately even benefit you in the long run. Genuinely disgusting the way they treat their staff, especially since the sony buyout and generally increasing popularity.

Instead, when they get backlash for it they hold back the cast list and try to pretend it never happened.

Season 13 Voyage 9 is up https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/season-1309/8d6kgwz07wjn

Here’s a clip of Ace

Yeah, they did. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Woah yeah I can definitely hear it now but I totally didn't notice at first, so he's doing a good job. From his reply sounds like Duncan Branner just kinda retired from VA work, hope he's doing alright.

Oh, I just realized. It appears they’re trying to completely phase out the gold logo. They just edit the logo to remove the shonen jump text in the intro. The image in toeis tweet also uses that edited logo despite the gold text (there were normally two seperate gold and blue versions of the promo images previously for whatever reason). The only place it may continue to be used is on the home video box art but wouldn’t surprise me if not considering they finally dropped it from the show itself after all this time.

Anyways, finished the episodes. I hadn’t seen any full egghead episodes yet so it was nice. Intros great, and I’m really greatful for both finally having outros again and the new chopper trivia segments. I will happily take making more of your run time being easily skippable fluff to make the episode itself less agonizingly slow.

I enjoy all the new voices here, outside of Stella my favorite Vegapunk is probably Lillith. Each having their own voices helps them each stick out to me a lot more than in the manga. It is a shame we get so little of Stella himself here though, the clip they posted is literally from near the end of the last episode lol. Nevertheless all the performances are fun. Outside of the Vegapunks I didn’t think about it but theres actually a seperate kid voice for jimbei briefly which I think did a really good job sounding like Daniel I found it cute lol.

I understand the hope for a simuldub, and like I wouldn’t complain. But honestly for me I think these batches make for the best viewing experience. Weekly episodes are definitely better for seasonal stuff when otherwise you have to wait a year but with the dated year round model one piece has I rarely find singular episodes satisfying on their own. Each voyage covers roughly a volumes worth of content, theres guaranteed to be at least some tangible plot progression.

So not only have we reverted to the old Van Ogre spelling (despite them changing it to Augur like 15 years ago and it being spelled correctly ON SCREEN) but it has at least once been pronounced like the creature by the narrator. For some reason.

He is my favorite blackbeard pirate besides probably the man himself I think I am going to start hurting people.

Shaka is voiced by Markus Lloyd https://x.com/toeianimation/status/1825578832239407166?s=46&t=Kq3IHPuSvKT2MXKx8HKScQ

I honestly didn’t expect them to go for the accent personally but I’m very glad they did he sounds great

I think all of arlong park should just streamline and become one thread actually, see what happens. I personally don’t think we have enough strangers yelling at eachother.

This is true but any other title would look wrong at this point honestly. I vote we keep it until we fill up the post limit if thats even still a thing.

Not a bad choice but I was hoping for someone new. He’s also voiced Clover, shura from skypiea, and several other smaller roles.

I forget if anyones mentioned this but I just realized we’ve officially passed the german dub they just got to gear 5th. Bizarre.
