One Piece: There Is A God

[DoubleWide]

According to The Anime News Network, FUNImation is taking over the dubbing of One Piece starting with episode #144. :D :D :D I hope that also means they will be able to redub and re-edit the first 143 including the ones 4Kids skipped over.

[K.O.V.G]

Oh crap not funiamtion this is not good nooo!!! Let one piece be America please leave One piece alone ( Goes to discountanimedvd time to buy more dvds before it's gets messed up.)

Well, that's a relief. I now dub Funimation an official Godsend among anime fans. Now, if only they could get their hands on Sonic X, Magical Doremi and Shaman King.

:rolleyes: Oh really Funimation the same company responsible for licensing masterpieces such as Full Metal Panic:TSR, and Alchemist plus giving the community uncut dvds of things 4kids butchered. *sighs* And some people wonder why I even bother speaking to people with little to no brains on licensing.

Leave him be. He's entitled to his opinion(even though I agree with you). We don't want this to turn into another Hellsing discussion thread and get locked.

Gotcha, no sense trying to talk some sense into a guy who buys bootlegs, and doesn't get the legitimate versions of the dvds.

[Froggy]

heh, that's pretty cool. I might start watching it again, hope it works:)

[Knightosis]

I buy bootlegs all the time, admittedly they are of good quality.

And besides, ADV has got one of the most shit dubbings in their anime
that I have ever seen. They range from mind-numbingly bad to "tolerable".

And since I mostly watch shows with japanse dialogue anyway, may as
well grab the bootlegs.

I'm glad that Funimation is getting One Piece, because we'll :

-Get the uncensored stuff

-Actually get the whole series and no cut-out/skipped episodes that
4 Kids did.

-Get better dubbing overall, although Funimation isn't *THAT* good.

Funimation is Horriable they Messed DBZ up and they are gonna mess this up, The same with Kiddy grade also. Oh and yeah I buy import dvds yeah they are not bootleg and the price of Dubbed dvds is going up to what 50 bucks for what 4 episodes who's getting ripped off you guys do the math. And Master piece of Fullmetal Panic ( Laughs really hard) Lets not go there,

But This is my opinion just ignore this post pretend it's not here.

Last word before I leave this topic alone: FYI, Funimation DVDs cost 20 bucks at the most. And they've made up for they did for DBZ by making new uncut DVDs for it. Since then, they have done a commendable job with the anime they've licensed. Their voice actors are excellent, their translations are above average, and most importantly, they respect the material(Unlike those 4 Kids bastards). As a whole, they've grown as a company and have been look upon favorably by anime fans for their contribution.


And let's get it straight: those dvds you purchase are pirated and not produced by the original distributers. Any japanese anime imports with subtitles (since the japanese watch their anime RAW), and unlicensed is an illegal copy created without the consent of the company or creators. No ifs, ands or buts. If that's what you chose to buy with your money, then fine, but please, let's not sugarcoat or BS.

[Citizen V]

Funimation does a good job with the animes it dubbs.

Funimation is Horriable they Messed DBZ up

Years ago. They've done much better recently, such as Yu Yu Hakusho.

*twitches* Urge to kill climbing.:evilangry

[master of read]

if this thread was made a few years ago, i might be pissed. but now, funimation will be a godsend to one piece. hopefully, no more popguns, supersoakers, messed nameds, skipped arcs, and god awful puns!!!

[Guy1]

*twitches* Urge to kill climbing.:evilangry

Meh, people can say what they feel, at least it won't be 4Kids wrecking One Piece anymore. I have to say, if it's anything like FMA, this is going to be seriously good.
Let's just hope for the best.

[master of read]

well funimation has stated that their version will be rated PG.

[Guy1]

well funimation has stated that their version will be rated PG.

Well.....meh, I'll still have to watch it before I cast judgment.

[The Xenos]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

Finally I can get me uncut One Piece DVDs! Plus we get a new dub!!!! Pinch me I'm dreaming!

Ha. I was crashing on a friend's couch. It was like sometime in the morning. I hear him running up the stairs yelling in joy. He tells me to wake up. He has to tell me something. Funimation liscenced something. I groggily ask what. ONE PIECE! I smile, let loose some happy cursing, and give him a thumbs up. He then runs back downstairs to his room to call other friends.

Also, here's the link where we got the news from.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-04-13/Funimation-Acquires-One-Piece
There will be uncut DVDs and a new dub. I'm quite happy.

It's funny. I was with this same friend at AXNY back in 2002. A Funimation guy, who we later saw running panels, was going around asking fans what shows they liked. My friend was a huge One Piece fan even back then and suggested it. The guy said that the couldn't promise anything, but that Funimation was very interested in it.

Unforgunately, 4Kids has bucketloads of more money and was looking for the next YuGiOh. They didn't find it in One Piece. Though anyone who knew anything about either franchise could have told the idiots that they were two very different series.

[Young Avenger]

I never liked One Piece but I'm glad that the series is being licensed by a company that will treat it with respect.

[rednecko]

THere is hope for One Piece fans. The way 4Kids did it turned me off entirely from the series, but (if it is on CN uncut) I will watch it at least once or twice.

According to Wiki, while televised it's going be edited similarly to anime like Naruto or MAR(i.e. Sanji's still going to have a lollipop instead of his cigarette), but the translation will be accurate and there will be far fewer edits. the DVDs, OTOH, will be completely uncut.

That's doesn't make sense. If the CN edit of Naruto allows the Hokage to keep his pipe then why can Sanji have his cigarette?

[SuperSaiyaMan12]

And Asuma is allowed to smoke as well.

It really doesn't make any sense.

Edit: K.O.V.G again, you prove you know nothing, and are basically trolling on this topic.

[Len Ikari145]

It really doesn't make any sense.

It was by the behest of CN in order to remain somewhat consistent with the 4 Kids dub work. That's the only thing though.

..what, back in 1998 or something? That was a long time ago, let it go

[Inkthinker]

So wait... a new dub? You mean, possible a Sanji who doesn't mysteriously come from Brooklyn?

PleasepleasepleasePLEASE no Brooklyn-Sanji...

[The Xenos]

Actually, it looked like Kamen Rider Luffy was twitching at the oh so uninformed post by K.O.V.G on the first page. I think I got a few twitched from the total failure of reasoning posted in them too. Living in 1997, bashing Funimation because of early DBZ, and buying bootlegs and insiting they're 'imports' annoys me as well.

Ha. Actually, I have a black friend from Brooklyn who makes a better sounding Sanji than whoever the hell 4kids cast.

If do One Piece like Naruto, then I can forgive the Lolipop. I just hope to good they get rid of all that susper soake crap with the guns. That pissed me off. :mad:

[Wild Card]

Report from the FUNimation panel at Anime Boston (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2007/anime-boston/funimation)As announced on AnimeOnline, FUNimation will be producing two different versions of One Piece. The version that Cartoon Network will broadcast will be edited to a significantly smaller extent that the original version that 4Kids produced was. In particular, use of guns will not be edited out. However, because of FCC regulations, FUNimation is still not able to show character smoking cigarettes on screen. The violence in the series will also be toned down somewhat. An example Adam brought up specifically was that during fight scenes, the actual impacts may not be depicted. Also, because of both legal reasons and the specific requests of Toei, the Japanese licensor, character names will be kept as similar as possible to those used in Viz's editions of the One Piece manga. At the same time, FUNimation will be working on completely uncut 13-episode sets, which will be released at a rate of two to three per year, starting in late 2007 or early 2008.Well, hopefully that means no more of those glowing green guns.

maybe you can get him a vioce acting job? eh eh;)

[The Xenos]

Actually, he's living in Japan right now and is a comp sci major. Still, I bet he's jump at it if given the chance.

ahh, thats cool still though:)

[The Xenos]

Oh yeah. I met one of the 4kids voice actors at a con the other day, Michael Sinterniklaas. He didn't voice anyone major. (Looking it up, he played Boodle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece_minor_characters#Boodle).) It didn't sound like he enjoyed the edits, but he really didn't talk about One Piece.

Actually, he talked about how awesome working on Ninja Turtles was and how they got away with a ton of violence. Though one time someone at Standards and Practices got fired because she didn't put her foot down and censor an ep. He felt bad for her losing her job, but still was glad they pushed the envelope.

He has his own dubbing studio. Notebly he did the English dub for Berserk. That alone is total win. He also does other work. He's the voice Dean Venture. Awesome.

I also went to the Funimation panel. Well, ANN covers it better than I do probrably.
