@AceLuffy4ever:

Attack on Titan is such a barebones show doesn't deserve to be number 1 and as for that Naruto movie coming to the states it is going to be subbed only

Only subttitles. Well that kinda blows. Still, it'll probably be released in DVD/Blu Ray about the same as Japan.

Seriously... a Devil is Part Timer? Beating DBZ, FT and OP? Wow.

@Snake-Eyes2011:

Are you living under a rock?
Fairy tail is the most populair show funi has at the moment.
The voice actors are almost the same ,so yeah FT releases/dubbing does matter…
If this keeps going were literally screwed (bad language srry) on boxsets for One Piece.

Eh… Id say that title goes to either ATTACK ON TITAN or DBZ. FAIRY TAIL is without a doubt outselling ONE PIECE now, though. Im sure OP does ok, but not to the level of the above shows. Which kinda sucks, because popularity DOES affect things. For instance, "THE LAST: NARUTO THE MOVIE" is coming out in US theaters in February, a mere few months after it's release in Japan. I'm sure if OP was to release a new movie, we'd probably have to wait years for it to be dubbed, and never mind a theatrical release.

Hmm weird. I just got my dvd. The art that's usually at the top of the DVD menu is missing.

@midod:

What does Fairy Tail have to do with One Piece’s releases? I’m pretty sure Funimation is capable of dubbing both series at the same time. The fact that they have released a similar number of One Piece episodes as they have Fairy Tail episodes since Fary Tail began being released (as was earlier pointed out) is proof of that. One Piece is one of many shows they are dubbing; they’re not going to shift all their focus to One Piece, nor is all their focus on Fairy Tail.

And stop talking about how Fairy Tail is closer to catching up; One Piece is almost 700 episodes at this point, Fairy Tail is only in the early 200s, OF COURSE THEY WILL CATCH UP TO FAIRY TAIL SOONER! When One Piece started being dubbed there were already over 300 episodes of One Piece, and since they had to redub the first two seasons they, of course, fell behind. Fairy Tail didn’t even have 100 episodes out when it was first licensed, so it was much easier to catch up to. Outside of the breaks after season 3 and season 5 both series have been releasing at a similar pace (in that they’ve released a similar amount of episodes in a similar time frame); One Piece is just longer so of course it will take longer.

There are a lot of factors that go into dubbing (working on the schedules of not only the writers and directors but the many actors as well), so it’s not like they can just speed it up the same way Viz did for the manga. They are dubbing other series as well, not just Fairy Tail. They’re not going to drop everything just to speed up One Piece, especially if it’s not their most popular show (and even if it was they probably still wouldn’t do that). We should really stop trying to make this a competition between Fairy Tail and One Piece.

So in other words f**king 4Kids and possibly Toei screwed us in the end (when it comes to not being behind… and it's success as well)

If it wasn't for them, FUNimation would've gotten the series first and possibly be way more caught up to the Japanese version. I'm happy they saved the license in the end, but due to 4Kids f**king everything up (including it's popularity, which still haunts it to this day) FUNi had to go back and redub everything... which I'm glad they did, but made us stay even more behind. Then of course there were the breaks that didn't help any.

And for a series as long as OP... these setbacks really weren't needed...

I still think OPs track record on scheduled release dates is… rather odd. Now it's happening during the middle of a season.

And no, not until you ask me so in a respectful manner. I'm not your kid.

And I am, trying. I've been trying. You guys are registering it as complaining because it's intrudes in the usual stuff they do which is the exact stuff I'm trying to explain is bad. There is no hostility… well until now, since I just discovered you pinning the wrong on ME, when that other guy is the one who flamed me. Where's the consequences for him?

Why am I the one being f**king lectured by you and not him? What backwards logic do you have to go after me, when he's the one clearly in the wrong. Of course, you won't notice. Because this forum is like that so freak'n often, it doesn't even register in your head. That is a very big problem.

Wow… Nintendo better have a counter measure for this because if not.... the whole appeal of Amiibo's has gone down the toilet.

Please, don't tell me to shut up. You want me to be quiet? You tell me in a calm and respectful manner.

And I'm not baiting anything. I'm honestly trying to make people understand that flaming people for their preferences is wrong. Do you not agree with that? How can you not, other than for your own selfish ideals?

I'm not trying to start anything. All I want is for people to realize what I'm saying and be rational about this whole thing this forum does way the hell too often.

Are you serious? Like, are you fucking serious?

This guy just out and outs flames me, and your response is "Well, you've been acting immature too" Which is bullshit, since I'm actually being the mature one and letting you guys know that talking shit about other people due to their preferences in media is a bad thing.

Oh, but I fucking deserved it because you don't see eye to eye on something that should be pretty obvious. Is this the fucking way this forum runs?

Like… I'm at a loss of words. I can't f**king believe you actually said that shit.

By the way, The whole Lumen Historie thing was a big waste of time and I'm not sure why Hiro even decided to include that if he was ultimately not even going to set it off.
