I saw a few minutes of dubbed one piece today, Smoker was renamed chaser and natch, no longer has a cigar in his mouth.
The Gold roger pub is now a juice bar and gold rogers walk to the gallows wasn't the day he died , it was "his last day of life" whoda thunk it.
seriously why even bother bringing a show out if its gonna get raped up the ass this hard?

For the record, 4Kids has cut out more than EIGHT EPISODES WORTH now. They cut the entire post-Arlong celebration, almost all of the "Luffy gets his bounty" episode, and all of the Little Buggy Story. Today's episode was either episode 40 or 41 for 4Kids, but it covered stuff from the Japanese episodes 48 or 49 or so.
DVDs aren't even out yet (and they are confirmed to be the cut US TV versions), and from what I understand, the ratings are not very good for 4Kids' One Piece run, but it is doing well with 6-11 year olds and Toonami apparently.
Not to mention my 11 year old cousin saw one episode of the cut version and declared it "stupid."
So, no, I don't think the kids are really buying it. Not the way they probably should be anyway. And who can blame them?

We only sell maybe 5 copies each on the manga, and I know the dvds don't hit until september, but I can't imagine them doing very well.
Same thing happened to Shaman King... first two came out, no one bought them, and I've never seen #3 out anywhere. It's really too bad, these are good shows if they would just be left alone.

Naruto manga is usually pretty high on the sales charts as far as GNs go, and they usually sell out pretty quickly through comic shops. One Piece is a bit easier to find - and more of a middle of the road title in sales - but still seems to be doing fairly well thanks to the Shonen Jump monthly.
Yeah, I think the series would be a lot more popular with the treatment of, say, FMA on the Cartoon Network, but I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.
and on a completely different note: ep 233:

wow, the voice actor for Usopp completely nailed the emotion for that critical scene. Awesome.

Yeah, it's basically the single biggest concentration of overall plot development in the series (although, I think the next episode gets a bit, too). There's:
-
Luffy winning in one shot.
The world goverment leaders discussing things.
Return of Mihawk.
Whitebeard pirates (for which Luffy's brother works for).
Redhair pirates.
Blackbeard pirates, which Luffy's brother is somehow implicated about.
Basically, a shitstorm of cool plot details that seems to be leading towards the series conclusion, but at the same time expands like a wide angle zoom lens on just how damn big the series is going to be. I mean, even if the Black/Red/White teams are the baddest guys in Grand line, there are still
six of the government sanctioned pirate kings

The best? I think it's the worst of the official arcs. But it's still going to be fun to watch.
S&C: Watch the anime too, dammit!

But then it'd have to be on Adult Swim. Case Closed was like that -- it's on Adult Swim because it's [seen as being] just too damn violent for a cartoon in any other time slot. But, paradoxically, it's also very kiddie, so adults don't watch it.Crazymoogle said:

Skypiea -> Davyback (short arc) -> Water 7
Episode wise, Water 7 starts around 230ish.

Yeah, they are. In fact, ep234 is the second strut episode, as Luffy and company
annihilate Franky House in retribution for theft and beating Usopp into a pulp.
captain's battle between Luffy and Usopp.
I think it's either 227-228 or 228-229 that is the double episode with Ao Kiji. And right before that 220-226 or whatever is wasted with two mini-filler arcs - 1.
the team loses their memories.
The Davyback guys are in trouble.
Himuro: 373, it seems.
In related news...
"#XXXXXXX-Fansubs' One Piece
is now the longest running digital fansub series produced by a single group.
Ever."
The explanation, straight from their forum:
"Okay, so, after releasing 152, we have passed the group which (to the best of my knowledge) had released the most episodes of a single series.
That was #anime-otakus doing Prince of Tennis. They are currently at Episode 151.
They of course have never released any movies or TV specials for that series, but we'll even the playing field and just count the series episodes.
Some other stats for people who are interested.
"Digitally" fansubbed means we release .avi files, playable on a computer. As opposed to VHS fansubs from days long past.
I think the longest digitally subbed series overall, of multiple groups, is Inuyasha. The principle known subbers were #anime-XXXXX, who started at Episode 81. The series stopped at Episode 167.
The longest fansub of a single series (again, to the best of my knowledge) was also coincidentally done by a single group. That was the Sailor Moon VHS fansubs done by XXXX for all 200 episodes of the series.
Dragon Ball Z fansubs are disqualified for... having Korean subtitles. And sucking.
Hong Kong dvds are also disqualified because they charge money for them and are therefore not fansubs.
The current runners up are, of course, #anime-otakus for Prince of Tennis, and #XXXXXXXX for Naruto (boooo).
Honorable mention is #anime-XXXXX which fansubs Detective Conan and is still incredulously plodding along. I think they are in the 80's somewhere, but Detective Conan is already hundreds of episodes longer than One Piece."
Fansub group names for licensed series have been edited out to protect the innocent (and my account).

Can someone tell me around what issue in the manga would be around episode 70 in the anime. That's when the giants are about to fight. My computer is fucked for now (posting from a friend's) and I need my One Piece fix.
I think we've got a major Robin flashback incoming! It's only taken like what, 150 or so chapters? Anyways, apparently her family and people were wiped out by a 'Buster Call' fleet, when she was a child. That would explain why she's so desperate to distance herself from the Strawhats, so they don't end up incurring the same fate.
Which in the end will all probably be in vain, since Spandam has already got the clearance from Aokiji to use the Buster Call and there's no doubt he'll use it regardless of whether Robin holds up her side of the bargain or not. Plus I'd think it would be relatively easy to assemble & deploy the fleet, since Eneas Lobby is basically the gates to the High Marine Headquarters.

So for a 4Kids Update:
Dragon still saved Luffy (I have no idea if Luffy was actually about to be beheaded as I didn't watch it myself)
Captain "Chaser" revealed his Devil...I mean, Cursed Fruit, which is the Smoke Smoke Fruit. The fight between him and Luffy was apparently more or less the same.
Next week's episode will be crossing Reverse Mountain and entering the Grand Line. No Apis.
Which means next week's US episode 44 will match up with Japanese episode 61. That gap is getting exponentially bigger by the week. Of course, the episode from the week after that is called "Baroque Works." Baroque Works doesn't make an appearance until the very very end of Japanese episode 64 (at least the name doesn't), so the next two episodes are pretty much guaranteed to combine at least 4 episodes worth of content between the two.
Pretty amazing, really.
