At first I didn't like Franky's voice (note I have no clue what he sounds like in Japanese I'm not comparing) but I think I'm warming up to it.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
One Piece has instances of awesome animation...later. They start using it as kind of a training ground and let new animators run wild sometimes.

And there are a couple episodes animated by Sushio (animation director of Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, etc.), among others.

So it has its moments.

Plus, the movies.
But those are movies so... yeah.
 

B-Dubs

No Scrubs
Looks like Lucci now knows where Franky and Usopp are. This will end in tears.

Wait. That's it?!?! That was NOT half an hour!

He sounds better in Japanese.

For the record, Oda purposely designed Franky to be voiced by Kazuki Yao. Meaning that no matter who they got, it "wouldn't match".

I think Seitz does a great job though. If they did an exact match to Yao's voice, it would sound horrid.

Franky is one of those anime characters who slips in engrish when he speaks, so that part is lost in the english dub.

Before I go:


DeMarco's Ask FM said:
Q. Saw the music video during the commercials for Bleach and all I can say is I apparently don't use enough recreational drugs to enjoy the full toonami experience?
A. So we premiere you a new fun animated thing that no one else would and that is your response? Cool

Haha

Gives all the fucks

Agreed, it's one of those voices that doesn't translate well if you try to emulate it in another language. Either way, both JPN & ENG voices are good in their own right.

Considering that the second half was mostly just talking, it was pretty watchable. Definitely a good look at Franky as a character plus an appropriate amount of exposition.
