I got funimations second box set yesterday (episodes 14-26)

I must say that its a very high quality set just like the first one. The dub is solid aside from the fact that many typical funimation actors are reused.

Looking forward to box 3

Lucky Liete87, I'm sorely tempted myself to start importing the One Piece sets too. Especially since Madman shows no signs of releasing them any time soon.

I swear, if we don't have the first set by the end of this year, I'm importing it. Confused

Well, I have no idea about their One Piece DVDs, but I know that Funimation's DBZ DVDs (at least the old ones, no idea about the season sets) were Regions 1, 2 and 4.

Edit: Well, according to an American friend of mine, it appears to be Region 1 only. Although Regionless players are really cheap enough, I got mine at EzyDVD for a mere... $40 I think it was?

You can unlock your current dvd player by googling region unlock codes for your dvd player, it's just a matter of following instructions and punching in a few numbers on the remote.

You sure your dvd player is locked to region 4?

Its actually easier to burn region free backups of the discs

You can do that using dvd decryptor as it can "force" a region crack

*LINK REMOVED*


All you need are dual layer recordable dvd's and a dvd burner drive

If you want a cheap American DVD player I recommend this RCA model, its only $41.21US ($49.69 AUD)

Question is, why would you import a dvd player as there is the whole deal with power difference (and postage costs) when you can get a cheap dvd player here that is just as good

oscilator wrote:

If you bought it within the past 4 or so years, it would automatically be region free

Yeah ... but of a pain actually as the US/Aus power adaptor can sometimes cost more than the electronics being bought!

As Speedfreek said you can unlock your DVD player if it does prove to be locked ... it's not very complex and usually just hitting the right sequence of buttons on the player ... all of which can be found with a quick Google search of make and model. At the very least saves you the cash (which can otherwise be spent on more anime lol Very Happy )

I asked about this at the Madman panel at Manifest today. Basically: No dice. Movie 8 hasn't sold well enough, and there's too many episodes apparently Razz

They also announced they have the rights to D.Gray-man, Negima Season 2 and Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino. There may be other details as well that I can't remember atm...

Sly said in a thread earlier on in the year that it all depends on the Sales of One Piece Move 8, and so it seems, as quoted by kabigon:

For people who haven't seen the fansubs, and haven't watched it on TV (edited), why should they then go out and buy a movie that won't explain things simply in order to show interest in the series?

I'd be interested in giving this series a go as I do know something of it, even though I've never seen an episode. But if I'm gonna buy it, I want the uncut version, not the tamed down TV version. I know a lot of people were holding out for this as well. oh well.. More money goes offshore, instead of going to local industry.. *sigh*

... Seriously? It's not coming?

...... Seriously!?


......... I guess I'll have to import. (And not just One Piece either, if Madman don't bring out this series, I'm gonna start importing all my anime. Evil or Very Mad)

Licenses costs money. We have to be assured that we can recoup on the cost of a title before we just jump up and pay whatever sums of money is being asked.

If we feel a series cannot make back the amount being asked then we run into a little bit of trouble releasing it. We love to release it but at the moment it's not looking good.

Well, I guess that's understandable. Although, judging from the sales of the movie still doesn't sound like a good move.

a) The movie is based on a later arc of the series, if someone were to buy it, they would likely encounter spoilers. Like Nico Robin joining the crew for example. ... Despite the fact that the 3rd opening theme spoils that one anyway about a dozen episodes before it happens. >_>;;

b) The movie aired on Cartoon Network a few days before the DVD release. This could have also deterred some people.

c) People mightn't have even been aware of the movie, if someone wasn't specifically watching for it's release date, they could have easily missed it, especially since not too many places seemed to stock it. (They didn't have it at any of my local stores, so I had to go to JB Hi-Fi in the city for it)

d) The 4Kids dub. Despite the little "Uncut" thing on the cover, people could potentially miss it and dismiss it as being another one of the 4Kids dub.

e) Speaking of the 4Kids dub... You seemed to have no problems releasing that when it clearly wouldn't sell well. Other shonen series such as Dragonball and Naruto weren't so quickly judged by the sales of a single movie either.

f) Well, actually, I don't have a point F as I've run out of things to say for now...

Actually the 4Kids dub was suppose to get 13 volumes released by Madman, but it was cut at 11. As much as I didn't like the 4Kids dub, I still love One Piece, but there is no use arguing for it, you just have to hope for the best, or.....import lol. Very Happy

Also Madman originally promised to release an uncut version of One Piece on DVD. But choose to release the edited English only DVDs anyway, instead of waiting until an uncut was possible.

Maybe you should do a Madman poll or something, like a compulsory poll. Hell I'd buy it and I hardly buy anime. I don't want to be the owner of imported DVD's. Sad

To be honest, I'm surprised thay actually managed to bring out 11 whole volumes of 4Kids' tripe. Razz (The only good things to come out of 4Kids were Pokemon and TMNT, IMO.)

But yeah, if Madman stands by their decision not to release One Piece, I definately will import. (Once I'm caught up on local releases of other things that is, like Torchwood season 2 and stuff.)

There is a big difference between choosing to not release uncut, and being told by 4kids not to if they still wanted the right to release one piece. (4kids was worried that no one would buys theirs and instead import madmans IIRC )

Madman was not forced by 4Kids Entertainment, there was no uncut English version of One Piece available at that time.

I had already been hearing about One Piece way before I actually saw it so when I found out that Channel 10 was playing it, I decided to give it a go.

And it wasn't good. I just couldn't stand it. I'm not talking about the actual show. I'm talking about the English dub. It's atrocious! I've seen many good dubs in the past but this one was unbearable. I refuse to buy the current DVD's. I hope the uncut DVD's are released in the future. I mean having a huge repetoire of anime and not including the uncut version of One Piece will be a real shame. I managed to see some subbed and uncut episodes eventually and it's so different from the dub.

Oh, by the way... Not exactly related to the uncut DVDs, however it seems that the Funimation One Piece dub (of the Jaya/Skypiea arc) will be on Toasted TV starting October 16 at 7:00 AM. I've already watched the dub of these episodes as they aired in the US (through internet magic which should not be discussed here), although I may seriously consider watching it on TV anyway. (The main possible deterrent being my desire for early morning sleep. Razz)

Source here.

EDIT: Well then, seems to be a false alarm. They're just showing two episodes of an unspecified season. (Presubably 4Kids episodes I suppose...)

Exactly what is worse about Funimation's English dub of One Piece? or it is just the change of voice actors you don't like?

um yeah that is probably the main reason, it just seems like too many of the voices don't match the characters and the opening and closing themes are way too cheesy, i don't see why they needed to make english versions of the songs

Well, having not seen any full episodes of Funimation's dub of the episodes, I suppose I'm not really an authority here... But judging from the few clips I've seen and the Jaya/Skypiea episodes, the voices are pretty good IMO.

As for why they made English versions of the songs... Uh, because it's an English dub? They've done the same thing for other shows like Yu Yu Hakusho and the original Dragonball, besides, the Japanese songs are one push of the "language" button away.

I reckon One Piece is best watched in Japanese. That's just my personal opinion but yeah. It's such a beautiful thing.

so the hundreds of anime shows out there that have the original openings and closings aren't proper "English Dubs"?

so the hundreds of anime shows out there that have the original openings and closings aren't proper "English Dubs"?


No, it's perfectly fine to leave the songs as are. I just don't see the fault in dubbing the songs when the original Japanese ones are still on the disc anyway. Think of the English songs as an optional bonus? Razz

The one and only thing i miss from the 4kids dub is Zoros VA.

He really doesn't fit as Zoro. He's the only character voice I find out of place in the new dub (at least for the main characters).

Well, at least it isn't like DBZ where he was everybody and their cat. Razz

But yeah, I have to agree that the 4Kids 'Zolo' was pretty good. I actually saw a comparison clip not too long ago of the Mihawk fight, and while in every other regard the Funimation dub was vastly superior, Chris Sabat just couldn't match Marc Diraison as the character.
