What was that about 4kids?
Remember, this is the fake knive that you gave me!

Here's a reminder of the 4k**s dub hax job.

Bon Clay was singing his character image song in which he actually does sing both "Okama" and "Oh come my way" in english. So its not as much of an odd translation as its just what he's really saying.Entropia said:

The Funimation dub is pretty good. I actually rewatched the first few episodes in dub when I found out about it.

Thanks. That clears it up. I guess the accent makes it tough to notice that he's saying it both ways.
Entropia said:
He's referring to this edited to hell and back scene from the 4Kids dub of Arlong Park. This is my second time linking to this video, actually.
Fake Edit: Ugh, the video was removed....It was horrible though, take my word for it.
Also, I can vouch for the Funi dub's awesomeness. The cast gets better and better with each passing DVD set.

4Kids dub of We Are that was never used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHO6DtFJ-Y&feature=related
The song itself is nothing special, but it does in fact use all the animation and music of the original. Of course, it still pales in comparison to the FUNi dub and Japanese.

Yes. The entirety of Japan is on "break" this week. The new year is apparently Japan's "most important holiday season" or something.Firestorm said:DammitDid FMA Brotherhood take a break too? Been waiting all week for that.

Oh Christ at this episode's animation. It was fine and all for action scenes but as soon as someone opened up their mouth it all went to hell. They even got lazy and just looped some scenes over and over; and at some points the characters didn't even move their mouths while talking.
On the positive side though, this was the first episode in months that seemed to remember that the soundtrack could be used for something other than pointless background noise.

Yeah animation was "Naruto-esque", but I haven't laughed that long during an episode in a good while.

Hmm, not sure if it wasn't mentioned, but Viz has finally begun the grand march towards uniting the Japan and America volume release schedule. Last week saw the release of OP volumes 24-28 (Skypiea) with another large set due basically every month until they catch up.
That's five volumes in one day, every month, until July.
29-33: Feb 2nd (The rest of Skypiea + Davyback fight)
34-38: Mar 2nd (Water 7)
39-43: April 6th (Enies Lobby)
44-48: May 4th (Enies Lobby + Thriller Bark)
49-53: June 1st (Thriller Bark + Sabaody)
54: July 6th (Impel Down)
It's worth noting that Viz dropped the foil-logos but instead has now added arc-titles to the spine. Not sure if they will reprint the old volumes like this, but it's a good way to browse without pulling the volumes off the shelf.

Hey guys and gals. I was introduced to One Piece about a month ago. Have made my way to episode 127. Holy crap I am behind still! I just had to comment that when Smoker tell the brass to "eat shit" after
, I said wow. This show is ridiculously good. I have a lot of watching to do still >.<

Yeah, I literally just started reading the manga(up to volume 40) and its pretty nice. I chucked at the Lionell Ritchie reference :lol I also thought the Aesop references were pretty awesome too honestly. I loved that I was a fan of him and they just so happened to reference a character off of his work. Is the canon anime faithful to the manga?
Yep. My pre-order from this post still hasn't shipped as it's waiting for vol 48 =P Although I've modified it since then... Removed the 3-packs and put them in individually because I'm OCD like that.Crazymoogle said:Hmm, not sure if it wasn't mentioned, but Viz has finally begun the grand march towards uniting the Japan and America volume release schedule.

Thank you sir
The current manga arc is positively killing me because it's amazing and only getting what feels like a tiny slice of it every week is torture. And it's too good/important to try and forget about it for a few weeks to allow a few chapters to build up. Argh.
Next week's
fight could be legendary in an arc filled with moments like that.

Luffy vs. Garp

As close to the manga the anime gets, I just don't see how the anime will plow ahead without some sort of crippling filler like what happened in the Ennies lobby arc, when they all jumped off into the waterfall (if I remember correctly), and virtually re-ran old episodes of each strawhat joining.

I'm curious to see about this as well. I'm guessing they'll do more of the
Strawhat Whereabouts
How they're going to properly animate the current manga arc is going to be very interesting. To do it justice, I imagine it'll be a very costly string of episodes. Here's hoping Toei (or whoever is ultimately responsible) goes all out.
JDSN said:
That's what I figured Sanji's "power-up" would be. When the situation arises, he could switch to his "Okama" persona which would allow him to attack women and utilize new combat techniques.
I guess it's possible that Zoro could have learned some new techniques from the mysterious character that approaches him and Perona on his cover story. That's a bit of a reach though since we don't know it was... though I highly doubt that'd he'd be the only one that didn't gain some sort of power-up during their separation period.

With the death of the VA of Jinbei (RIP), how are they going to replace him?
Just going by what I saw in the other thread.

What a way to go. Rest in peace.Verano said:
Entropia said:RIP.
As far as his VA in the anime is concerned, I'm sure they will find a suitable replacement. He hasn't had too many lines anyway and as far as I could tell, didn't voice any other characters.
I looked into it some more after my previous post, and he apparently voiced Dorry, one of the Elbaf Giants.
Definitely a sad story though.
