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.

@Dixxy:

Excluding the cast announcement (which I THINK as AX 2007?) NONE of the One Piece announcements have been at a convention - they've been press releases. The simulcast was DEFINITELY a press release (it was like, a week before AB 2009 which was baffling, although that was also when they announced their EVA cast so maybe they didn't want to take away EVA's thunder?) and I don't think there were any conventions going on when Funimation announced they had the series (but I do remember it was a Friday the 13th XD). I would say maybe it's a Toei thing but the Dragon Box announcement was at a convention.

Then why the heck are people thinking that we are going to hear news of a new batch of dub episodes via a convention? That is all I been hearing throughout the summer that "It be this convention!" or "Maybe we hear something at this convention". According to One Piece's track record (based on what you said) then there should be a higher chance to hear news of new dub episodes via the blog then a convention.

Personally I don't care if they announced it at a convention or not. When news of a new batch of dub episodes come up, I be happy either way. May it come from the blog or a convention.

@LUFFY#1:

Once again, what does this have to do with the FUNimation One Piece dvd's? Especially black butler..

Maybe he is trying to say that instead of looking for more One Piece news via conventions that we should consider that they may say something via their blog.

I would consider Black Butler one of Funi's higher tier properties. So it was a bit strange/surprise they announced the second season and OVAs via their blog instead of saving it for a convention. If we do get more dubbed One Piece episodes then I wouldn't be surprise if they say it via their blog. Especially right now since there are no more big cons coming up.

The only part I found good was the interaction with Laxus and the Raijin Tribe. That was fun to watch.

@dirt:

They're grayscale, and I don't know about anyone else's, but the printjob just looked so damn shoddy looking.

I figured that but a tiny part of me was hoping they would do color.

I would have to see for myself. Then again I have a very low bar for quality. As long as I can read the text and see the images then I am good.

@KaizokuFan22:

Finally got the Oct/Nov issue!
Finally hit the timeskip.. now that im reading the chapter in english.. im glad to see the new designs for the Strawhat crew in better print too
597-599
600 in december

Mind answering a question I have about Chapter 698? I already have an idea about it but just want to ask. Are the color pages in Chapter 698 in color or did SJ decide to go grayscale with them?

@Maron:

I'd love it if VIZ could at least release the other Color Walks here, but I guess the sales were low. I purchased the first one from them when I learned of their existence though…

Well if we want more Colorwalks then we know what we have to do. We as fans have to buy the heck out of Colorwalk 2. Viz has gone on the record several times saying that if we want more cool One Piece stuff then we need to buy it. High sales on Colorwalk 2 is the first step in doing that.

Voted for Robin. The campaigns are proving I made the right decision.

Voted for God….Eneru.

Voted for the team that Crocodile played for.

Ener needs to win this thing. He got this far so he might as well win this thing. Want to know why?

He has done something that last year winner, Whitebeard, has done. They both beat Makino.

Voted for Batman.

Voted Nami. A girl that is always changing and improving.

Also this week's chapter was cool with her in it. Can't wait to see her individual fight to see more of her new toy.

Voted for god. It be a sin to vote for anybody else.

@mpz777:

I voted for everything. It's all bad and it should be burned with a very, very large fire! Other than the rubber knife and Kaya's magic chakram, I was also look for poison suction cups, cockney Shanks, french Mihawk and Lucky Roo's pop gun.

I found a few videos too:

poison suction cups:

Skipping Laboon:

Here are a few more 4piece gems:
[hide]

I did find one more video on what Skypiea and the character voices would have sounded like if 4kids had held on to the license. However, I'm putting a WARNING on this video. It's almost 10 min. long and the puns… o god the puns... and after watching you'll probably want to blow your brains out, I know I did.

Well here it is and as Blackbeard sayz "Keep on truckin'!" (seriously, he f*ckin' says it at 3:57):
[hide]

That one edit where Zoro was tapping his sword with the 'lollipop' was funny. Pointless the the max but I guess that was just 4Kids last 'hurrah' before losing the rights.

I been wanting to search out the possible Skypeia 4Kids voices. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Voted for Fullmouth D. Luffy since that was the most useless one there was. All the others makes somewhat sense considering the regularations. (Note keyword SOMEWHAT).

We forgot an interesting edit…Bellemere's shovel gun.

This is just another one of his secret identities.

He does this on the side when he isn't living the life as a pirate.

I made the right choice. Usopp. haha

AKA: Bruce Wayne.

Love Robin. Love her American voice actress (Stephanie Young). Love her power. Which will make it even harder for me to vote for Crocodile.

Give the pimp a vote.

Saw Ivankov and was going to vote for him. Saw that Ivankov was up against Enel. Can't vote against God here.

Voted Nami.

Who else is there to vote for? Oh that is right. Just Nami.

ICE ICE BABY~

Bum bum bum bum dum…

Voted Aokiji.

@Raging:


Nami wants you to vote for Zoro!

This makes me glad that I voted Zoro. Never was a big fan of Rayleigh anyways.

I haven't voted at all for Bon Clay during this tournament. Being pitted against Nami just makes voting against him so much easier.

Usopp…..Can't vote against Batman.

Robin and Crocodile. Very hard. Siding with Crocodile right now.

@Cyber-Robin:

Layton (A REAL true gentleman) says otherwise.

So glad that I voted Robin.

Also I like top hats.

More cowboy hats to show how great they are.

I heard that cowboy hats are pretty cool.

Somebody has a sense of humor. haha

This 'New World' heading I think is going to be similar to 'East Blue' and 'Baroque Works' where we are going to get a lot of new arcs related to Luffy's adventures in the New World. It will then be exchange to the name of the next overarching that is more mainstory centered (eg: Paramont War, Water 7, etc).

Either way this is what Viz was told to call it via the guys in Japan. Sounds good.

Last one for a while.

Vote for Law is a vote for good music.

I should try harder to pretend to work….

A vote for Law is a vote for jumpsuits.

Let show all the best pirates with a polar bear. Wait…there is only one.

Hey Kitsune, want to sing a song? I suggest Guy Love from Scrubs.

Here is Law helping Luffy.

[hide]Wonder how long Kitsune are going to be doing this back and forth thing. [/hide]

Vote for Law. He has a bear.

Law promotes well educated women.

[hide][/hide]

Time to bring down the….

A little birdy told me to vote Magellan. So I did.

@Yonkou255:

I suggest putting a disclaimer in the title

Funi DVD Discussion (NO SEASON 4 IS NOT LICENSED YET!)

It seems like somebody took your suggestion. haha

Voted for the team of Buggy and Brook.

Buggy because well….he is Buggy. haha

Brook....Binks's Sake. Damn that scene is so sad as you watch everybody die.

Voted Zoro. Three swords beat two swords. haha

Nami is the show and the campaign.

Too bad I can't campaign today. Stay strong Nami supports.

@Cat Monster

That what I would have done too. I don't know anything about gifs. Still cool.
