One Piece - 4kids VS FUNimation - 09-30-2007, 05:27 AM

I don't know if many of you guys watch One Piece on Cartoon Network; I only do once in a while when my b/f has it on.

anyway, I saw the new (for the US) episode tonight...evidently FUNimation acquired the license for One Piece from 4kids, and a LOT has changed. What do you think of the changes? discuss!



thnx boboloko for the sig!

I think its better than before. The original voice acting was bad. kinda sounds too animated. also i read in newtype that other people were complaining about the voice acting.

heh, 4kids tends to butcher anime - if there's nudity, rather than giving the characters a paintover, they'll cut out entire scenes that are vital to the plot, so the episode will jump around and not make as much sense. ...aaaaand sometimes they'll even cut entire episodes from the series.

the voices...eh, IMO it's debatable. I think the new Sanji doesn't fit - the old one had a certain charm / smoothness that the new one's lacking. ...and Chopper's voice doesn't change at all when he gets huge? that's kind of...odd.
the rest of them are pretty much improvements, and suit the characters well (the majority of the old voice cast WAS bad). but at the same time, especially with Sanji's change, the new voice cast as a whole is kinda...generic, run-of-the-mill. so...I dunno. it could be better, but it was still done pretty well.

...and no more choppy episodes. YAY.



thnx boboloko for the sig!

I've never seen the origional japanese one piece but I wanna and yeah the funimation did a pretty good job with it. Most of funimations stuff is good, especially Bleach. It is funimation right? correct me if I'm wrong.

:[ I don't really like One Piece. Seems kinda silly sometimes. No offense.
