I am going to be at Anime Matsuri there. I don't know if I am going to pull out any One Piece cosplays there. Maybe I bring Luffy along but I do plan to take my Straw Hat.

I watched the first two minutes of the first episode with the FUNi dub. For some reason I was expecting the Rave Master dub opening to play. Not sure why….

Don't comment often but I do want to say that the chapter was crud…..Rushed....pointless pass bring back the main characters.

Two weeks ago I was praising the guy for finding a way to get rid of the main characters in a 'creative' way. He basically formed a tournament to gather all the characters that have connections to each other such as family and friendships then wiped them all out. Last week I was hoping that maybe we get to see some sort of arc where the remains, even if they are weak, go out to find their old friends. Decent build up to some sort of nice chapter with a warm payoff. A payoff that is kind of lame but it would have made a nice warm feeling in your heart.

The only good thing I can like about this chapter is the reveal of Fairy Sphere. If I remember right, Fairy Law is made up of three Fairy Magic where two of them have been revealed: Fairy Glitter and Fairy Sphere. When I think about it, Glitter explains the whole pretty stuff while Sphere protects the friends from being killed by the destruction. Now I am a bit confused but am glad to see some explanation for Fairy Law.

@LUFFY#1:

I am honestly wondering how Mike knows when FUNi will announce more episodes. I think he just has just already started dubbing them lately but has too keep his mouth shut about it..I mean we haven't gotten a interview with the cast all summer! There is a good chance they just started dubbing season 4 lately!

A bit late on answering this but I guess I mention this.

I do have an interview laying around with Mike and Luci from around March of this year. I don't remember all that was said but I do remember that Luci sounded as if she hasn't been in the booth for One Piece since they were done dubbing for what is on DVD now. A good sign of this was that Luci though they had dubbed up to the 300s or whatever she said during the panel. That is in fact incorrect since she said she wasn't sure herself during the panel and Mike corrected her during the interview.

Mike does know about Strong World so maybe they have/were looking at that. Then again Mike does keep up with One Piece anime in Japan so that may just mean nothing.

@firecrouch:

Why? What happens in December? Is that supposed to be the special Bakuman issue?

I have no idea really. The only thing I can think of that it be two years since One Piece in SJ jumped to the Impel Down arc.

@MasterKingJC:

July 2010 .

That is a freakin long time! It explains why I didn't see One Piece on the covers of the SJs that is on my shelf. Anything past February is in a drawer.

I can understand why they didn't do the color pages or anything but I do wish we had One Piece on the cover at least. When was the last time Shonen Jump put One Piece on the cover? I looked at the ones I have on my shelf from the last few months and I see mostly Bleach and Naruto. I could be wrong but it just been a long while.

Any bets on One Piece being in December's issue?

@Juvar:

The former. A vote for Enel is a vote for Zapdos.

Zapdos is cool but if you are going to tempt me with old school pokemon it won't work. Unless you can fit in Charizard somehow.

@Enzeru:

A vote for Robin is also a vote for Makino since she's a classy lady as well.

Hmm….But Eneru beat Makino so her spirit is with him.....Still you have a point....

Not sure who to vote for. Shall I vote for Eneru for getting this far and just give him one vote to help narrow the gap. Or shall I vote Robin because she is voiced by my favorite Funi voice actress. So hard.

@Raccy:

Anyone see the latest episode? Yeah, it was the one with the Lissana ass-pull, but whatever. Lmaooo…

What's interesting though is the next episode will be showing closure for the Edolas Fairy Tail guild, it seems. Don't think Mashima included that...

Just one of the many reasons why the anime is superior. Even without the blood.

The anime tried so hard to make sense of it. It didn't work and still felt horrible.

Charmander. It evolves into a dragon. A dragon that spits out fire. It also flies.
