The worst part about that is I stopped watching it on SciFi right around episode 15 content that I'd pick up the dvd later. Whoops.

The dub as a whole is on some weird xbox 360 manga/anime app but I'm not sure where else you can watch it don't think it's on Hulu or Funimation.
 
75% done with One Piece marathon

Skypiea looks to be a fun arc
Luffy vs "God"....just the idea of it sounds awesome
. And after what Luffy did in Jaya, my respect for him continues to increase exponentially
 
lol Goddamn. Those catch-up videos were so terrible. If I hadn't already watched the corresponding arcs, I would be so lost.

i really hope that was their mentality behind this, to just refresh the memories of people who have watched the show before. because i cannot imagine that the whoever made these thought they would possibly enlighten new viewers.
 
Watching the opening the One Piece will have when it starts running. Cool opening but just curious how they will chop it up.

AssaultXMaster will probably mock something up.

Also, Toonami Tumblr posted the Arlong Arc in 60 seconds

Alabasta in 60 seconds

Skypiea in 60 seconds


Saw those 60-second recaps, still weird.

Regarding the opening, I did make my idea about a month ago ( Opening 5 if correct )- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1SVBFe7l2I ( Character Spoilers, right? )

The problem is that it's impossible to summarize the important plot points in a given arc in :60. Part of it is there are so many and the other is that Oda only knows what's going to become important later on.

well these honestly shouldn't even have been what they were summarizing. they should've been giving an overview of the characters.

You'd miss out on other plot points then. No matter how you do it, you'll miss something and it'll come back later and bite you in the ass.

well, they do recap prior stuff if it becomes necessary, right? at this point the most important thing is probably for people to get to know the characters.

They already have videos that give overviews of the characters.

and if they could shorten those or combine them or both, they'd work a hell of a lot better than these videos.

I've been recording those movies for weeks, they won't get in the way of my Toonami time.

So who's ready for the end of the War on GXP? There may be plenty casualties but it'll be over tonight.

I'm just wondering how much worse it's going to get. We may not survive.
 
He dropped the Brooklyn accent and started smoking.

Speaking with a Brooklyn accent all the time made it difficult to concentrate on children's card games cooking. Speaking of One Piece, I reached episode 176 today. Gotta say, time really does fly when you're having fun. This current arc is 40 episodes long, but it seems to be going by so quickly. Really hard not to watch ahead.

Yes. He also ate lollipops instead of smoking.

Yeah I saw some of the 4Kids edits somewhere. They removed all the cigars of course. And all the blood - this would make (late Alabasta spoiler)
the fight with Crocdile make much less sense.
,The oddest edit I saw was

I mean....why.

Luffy is Jay Leno? :p
 
Oh man. Just listened to Sanji on the 4Kids dub and it is so bad. I guess time and nostalgia must have distorted my memories because I used to think the Brooklyn accent fit him so well. I love new Sanji's voice. I also love the weird voice he does when he sees Nami or Robin.

Why would they edit his mouth like that? Luffy looks adorable with that goofy smile of his.

lol

Is there a page or video of all the stupid 4Kids edits?
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Did they edit neji's swastika?

I know for one piece spoiler
ace
they did

Yet ichigo kept the one on his bankai

The thing about Ace's back Manji is 4Kids nor Funimation edited it. Toei did.
It even extended to the manga as after Enies Lobby, Whitebeard's logo changed from the Manji to the Cross.

Here's a good idea of what the 4Kids voices were like.

Luffy: Either bored as hell or loud and screechy. No middle ground.
Zoro: The only good voice! Hampered by getting some of the worst dialogue.
Nami: Very screechy.
Usopp: Clown going through puberty.
Usopp also had all of his character development removed.
Sanji: Brooklyn accent with a head cold (but you already know that).
Chopper: In Brain Point and Walking Point, he sounds fine. In Heavy Point though, he was given a deep manly voice.
Robin: Southern accent, all because she wore a cowboy hat in her first scene.

Other notable voices:
Mr. 2 Bon Clay: Little Richard
Vivi: BORED AS FUCK!
Shanks: Bert the Chimney Sweep from Mary Poppins
Mihawk: French accent
Hatchan: Patrick Star
Fans on my or Meta's level know how bad this would sound later on
Kuro: Really nerdy
Wyper: Mexican Vegeta (this is from One Piece: Pirate's Carnival, along with the 4Kids voices for Bellamy, Satori, and Eneru)

There's others, but those are the ones that stand out.
