Thankyou for the upload DPNZ!
Have listened to it three times and still think it sounds a little too feminine for Brook.

Ahh you guys are making me want to hear it even more now. Hate it when they restrict video's to just the U.S and Canada.
Hey can someone upload the interview clip please?
Wow it's seriously shipping already? Damn I better get my order in asap!
I'm 19.
Just realised I never watched the on the boat specials from the last set…
I wonder if funimation will actually alter that cover photo or not. It kind of bugs me each time I go on the page.
seriously, kiss my fucking ass u uk tea bag! i'll bitch & complain about whatever the fuck i want to for as long & as much as i fucking want to ! NEXT!
Did I actually accuse you specifically??! You must just be some immature little kid who thinks it's cool to swear and act a douche over the internet. GROW UP!
Seriously people stop bitching about having to wait one more day for the set, at least you don't have to wait another week or two like me seeing as i'm from the UK.
Luckily steins gate has just arrived so that should tide me over until then though!

The new cover photo on funimations facebook page is kinda bad, Luffy has his scar missing and they've altered the art style far too much for my liking.
I'm getting sick of seeing this thread go back to the same old pointless blu ray discussion …
I'm not sure funimation have another panel this weekend so I guess their next one will be at otakon.
Perhaps funimation decided to change the cover art for this one like they did for s3v5. That would explain the hold up and I wouldn't be surprised, it's not the best cover we've seen.
I'll probably be lucky to get the set before release date, normally takes about a week and a half for me to get it in my country, and if i'm unlucky there will be a customs charge which will mean a longer wait.
Nah it's Higuma the Bear!
It wouldn't surprise me but I just think Bartolomeo looks more like Bluejam.
My guess is that Bartolomeo is Bluejams son and that he wants to kill Luffy for what happened to his father at gray terminal.
Keep refreshing but the steam just won't show up for me after the ad. I think I'll just stick to the live feed then…
Same, I gave up about 15 minutes ago.

Don't look like there will be any announcements unfortunately..
I'll believe it when I see it!

Whats the 'One Piece Marathon' that they're talking about?
Guess it's where they forced Scott to watch as many eps as he could before OP went back on toonami.
Damn it went offline again.
Not true. One Piece Podcast announced Season 4 back in 2011.
Yeah but they weren't at a convention where as this time they are.
So when is the funimation panel proper when new acquisitions are likely to be announced?
Well I'm getting a DVD only of that and how far ahead those FUNi make these covers? Could that mean the Voyage 5 is coming before the end of the year or something? I guess there won't be any One Piece news at FUNimation's industry panel then if they couldn't announce it at OPP's panel. There's still Otakon though.
Not true if they've licensed more episodes then funimation would want to announce it themselves during their own panel i'm sure.
OPP just revealed there will be a contest for season 5 voyage 5 box art, and to guess Brooks English VA.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
How can they have a contest for box art though? Don't they need the cover to be approved by Toei first?
I wish Franky or Spandam were on the spine…
i think it looks fake. robin is too big.
That's obviously just the effect they've gone for as she's the focus of the arc, and in an effort to symbolise how distant she is from the crew at the moment.

Man, I would love for the next season to be in black. It would look great with the white covers, and it would fit Thriller Bark.
They should resort to old school DBZ tactics to get people to buy the whole set: Put an image on the side of the box that can only be completed when you own the whole set.
There are so many options for better packaging. We happened to get the lazy guy at funi. Awesome.
I agree with everything you've just said and I bet this is the same guy who made all the spelling mistakes on the slipcases.
Well it's ok but I agree with the comments about the laziness and the white spaces being irritating. I loved the season 3 covers and why they changed the style i'll never know but I guess it's too late now.
Ah I notice Luffy is on the spine art again! Why couldn't it be Spandam or even Robin?
I'd of loved to have seen the flag burning atop the tower in the background, that would have made such a nice touch.
I just saw it too and it's not too bad but would be better if the advertisement didn't keep constantly changing.
I might be alone on this but i actually cant wait to watch the filler in enies lobby not the retelling filler but the filler where the strawhats seem to be in the meji era where there wearing kimonos. I think there around episode 290
You're not alone I really like those episodes too.
Well I've been thinking and it's very likely that collection 9 will come out in the UK before the U.S, given that we don't have voyages and both Manga uk and the fans will be very eager to proceed with releases.
I doubt were going to see much on the movie front. I think Funi is really only focused on the big hitters (Being Strong World and Film Z). We might get Baron Omatsuri, but I wouldn't hold my breath for the other movies.
Why wouldn't they be when there's money to be had off of them? Didn't they say before we are interested in anything one piece or something like that?
Anyways anyone think we'll see the detective Luffy episodes? We should do right I mean they are included in the episode numbers but I hope it's not another separate license, same as with the chopperman episode that's coming up.
I should hope that seeing as the treasure contest part was dubbed that we'll see these spin off/side stories.
If I'm not mistaken, the first voyages usually take a bit longer to ship than the rest of the season. Due to formatting changes, I assume.
They better get rid of the Merry on the DVDs for season six. I'm gonna be pissed if it's still there.
Me too but I have faith that they will. I want to see Brook announced at Otakon along with season 6 and possibly (or am I being greedy?) some movies. That would make my summer if that were to happen, ah please let that press release be true…..
Naruto is a great series and I really enjoy watching it(when it's not filler that shit is just god awful) but One Piece is in a different league , far superior in terms of story, characters , it's just so much more compelling and emotional overall.
Have the dvds go on hiatus just so that toonami can catch up? That's a ridiculous idea , we're finally getting a good consistent release schedule going and sales are getting higher so honestly what would be the point of that? They'd never be able to do it anyway since it would cause outrage among fans and would certainly piss me off seeing as I can't get toonami in the UK.
An announcement that they will be releasing all of the one piece movies would be amazing but I don't think it will just be something one piece, perhaps a whole collection of different licenses they've acquired.
I already own all of the voyages but I picked up the first one piece collection released by Manga Uk and I have to say that the picture is so much clearer, no more fuzzy black lines which were really bugging me with the r1 sets. I'll still keep hold of my voyages but I think i'll start getting the collections because apart from the better picture I really like the covers, want to support the show in the UK , and lastly they look smart on my shelf . I have a strange connection to my belongings and I find it really difficult to sell things but hopefully the voyages will become collectable in years to come (probably still wouldn't be able to sell them lol)
Maybe it's because they want people to buy the entire series on DVD first before rereleasing it on blu ray and thus making people double dip. I do believe we'll see blu rays in the future but not for a while.
It's something to do with the European licensing and differentiating the markets, the same why the original 'Dragon Ball' and 'GT' logo were different in Europe than in the US. I think it's more to do with Funimation branching off and re-branding the logo to appeal more to an their own audience, I'm sure someone knows. It will be surprising if Manga use the American gold logo on the episodes. Not so surprising if they don't include dubbed songs.
I highly doubt they will alter the episodes and logo and there's no reason why they wouldn't include the dubbed songs. After all it's unlikely but they could return one day and Manga has a long time until they reach season 4.
The original "leak" saying FUNimation had Season 6, did that include "Z" or was I imagining that? Also, don't set your expectations for Film Z too high. It is very very good and the plot is well thought out, but it feels like your watching a really short arc of the series rather than a movie. Still, whether or not the story wins you over (and it more than likely will) the animation in the film is probably the best animation I've seen from anything Toei has produced ever. It is one of the best One Piece movies, Toei is really going to have a hard time topping it (if they plan to) for the next movie.
Yes the press release did include film Z, but something has been bugging me for a while and i'm going to say it now. How could funimation have licensed the movie 5 months before it was even released? Toei hasn't even optioned dbz battle of gods yet and the film has been out almost two months. The acquisition of film Z plays a dominant part in that information, but would Toei really let them license the movie so long before it had even been released in cinemas? I know no two licenses are the same but this just seems a bit odd to me.
@Zek:
Maybe in the next few months we could see the release of Collection 9….or at least some news about the collections.
My guess is some time next year. They can't release the collections too quickly after the voyages or some people will stop purchasing them and just start waiting it out for the collections. I could never think of doing that and i'm sure a large majority of die hard fans like myself would think the same, but some people will always want the cheapest option available, even if it means they may have to wait a little longer in order to get it.
Well Manga of course has to deal with toei first and they get final approval over the box art. I was surprised as anyone when we got the blue logo on the cover. What do you mean by your episode one remark?
Oh man , tired of hearing about this stream, it sounds like i'm missing out on all the fun. Not happy with funimation for restricting this , I mean seriously it's just a guy sitting there watching one piece and talking to whatever voice actors come by, right? I just don't see how this is would be breaking any contracts with Japan, and if god forbid we happened to hear or see a bit of the show playing, would that really matter seeing as the UK now has one piece?
I just do not understand these silly restrictions they put on their videos, sorry for the short rant.
I've heard people say it like "Imple Down" before.
Yeah that's how I say it but I know the proper pronounciation is "Impel". It's just the way myself and those in my area speak I guess that determines which way I pronounce it.
I see people are assuming the worst again….
Jeez guys we've already been told that the voyages sell well and that the collections sell very well. With toonami now airing one piece and giving it the much needed television exposure it so rightfully deserves the show is just going to grow and grow. We're past the dark 4kids days now and the show is just starting to cast off that grim shadow , so as long as people continue to support the series( i see no reason why they shouldn't) , and if funimation market it properly then they have the next dragonball on their hands and the show will not only be completed but still be selling extrememly well years after it's ended.
Continue to support it and have faith!
I'm half way through the set and so far it's been great, really enjoying these episodes again the second time around. Wanze is hilarious and Sonny's Sogeking is awesome just the way i imagined him sounding.
Mike just tweeted this.
"Having Thai for lunch with Christopher Smith before we record some more Spandam. #OnePiece"
It would seem they aren't yet finished with season 5 , not that I personally thought they were anyway…
That clip was pretty damn awesome thanks for uploading LUFFY#1 fan, really impressed with Sonnys sniper king voice now to just wait another week or so for the set to arrive…
That clip was pretty damn awesome really impressed with Sonnys sniper king voice, now to just wait another week or so for the set to arrive…
Is it Sogeking on the blurb or sniper king? Honestly i'm not bothered by the poster issue to come but what I find terrible is the amount of typos in the episode titles. Yes mistakes happen but this is just ridiculous I can spot three mistakes in there and that shouldn't be happening, the person responsible seriously needs to be fired!
Just got my email confirming it's shipped but i'll be very lucky to get this next week ,i'm expecting it more the week after. Luckily I have enough anime to tide me over till then.
So What About The Straw Hat Theme, Then? Huh? It's Only Two Sets Away. tWO sETS aWAY!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
What if it was Sonny Strait singing in japanese all of the sudden?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Wait- don't they already have the musical rights to We Are? So they should be able to have the crew sing it...
Unless the rights have expired which i'm sure they haven't. I'm really looking forward to hearing the cast sing together it should be hilarious and i'm actually wondering if Colleen will even be able to sing properly in her luffy voice lol.
The most exciting thing about this next set for me is definitely the introduction of Sogeking. Can't wait to see the sniper island song in english and just how Sonny handles the role. It doesn't seem like that long ago Mike tweeted a pic of himself with Sonny recording that part.
As much as I love the dubbed songs and all the effort that's put into them i'd rather the openings/endings continue in japanese then have all this annoying licensing business of "Will this one have a dub or won't this one?"
The dubbed songs were fun while they lasted and I would of liked the trend to continue, but they should just leave them alone now and concentrate on the series and movies, it's obvious toei and the bands etc aren't going to budge. At least we can have consistent openings this way rather than dubbed,subbed,dubbed,subbed etc which would be much more annoying than leaving them all undubbed.
Well it wasn't amazing but it was different and I liked that. Not what I was expecting but it will grow on me more in time i'm sure.
