I saw last week's One Piece, now, if anyone else saw it, do they remember hearing one of the chefs saying as clear as a bell "This soup sucks!" ? Cause I know it was there! followed by a stupid line ("just like that lollipop in his mouth!") but it WAS in the context of something "sucking." Very odd. Oh yeah. XD Chef A: "This soup sucks!" Me: ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) Wow, 4Kids is finally- Chef B: "Yeah, just like that silly lollypop he's always got in his mouth!" Me: ...oh. Figures.

I first want to respond to Vasuki's post, because you said something really interesting. Arlong Park is typically the story arc that everyone says really hooked them into One Piece. I would have thought that with 4Kids crappy dub/music/censoring that it would ruin it for people, but seeing that even through crappy voices and editing it still hasn't failed to catch people's attention is strangely encouraging. Still, I hope you'll get to see the original version, because it's just so much better. Plus, some stuff is going to happen in the near future that I know they'll censor to death and take all the dramatic impact away. So anyway...eh...honestly this episode wasn't so bad. Other than the typical stuff like crappy BGM, dumbed down dialogue and sucky voices. Overall, I thought the episode was a bit more enjoyable and less aggrivating than anything in Baratie. I was actually smiling and laughing. But that's probably because nothing really bad happened yet. Just wait until episode 32. *groan* Or worse, 37... In this case, I was happier with the voices of the new characters that appeared. I didn't mind Arlong's voice, although I thought it should have been a bit deeper. The doubling-up effect on the mermen is wierd. They did the same thing to Buggy's voice when he got angry. Hachi I didn't mind, he has moronic voice in the Japanese version too. We still haven't heard Chu yet (the one with the big lips), though...he concerns me a bit more. No problem with Nojiko's voice...but that kid was terrible. Nezumi (the rat-like Navy *coughMarine* guy that is in cohorts with Arlong) sounded like Ryu/Rio from Shaman King. XD Amazingly, Sanji's voice is now in fact making me gag more than Usopp's. Probably because Usopp has to be in a serious situation or show emotion before the full extent of the suckiness is revealed, whereas all David Moo has to do is open his mouth. They finally added Usopp and Sanji into the rap. It think it says "Usopp doin that marksman thing" ? ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) And then "Sanji's cookin' for the would-be king". *gag* ;D How come they still don't have Sanji and Usopp in the first part of the song, though? PS - StrawberryInuPie, I got sidetracked and didn't get the pics, sorry. I've had a lot on my mind. I'll have more free time than I want or need next week.

I saw your post there. Your comment "it's called shooting people, dumbass" made me chuckle. ;D

Anyone else sadistically amused that they are even ATTEMPTING to dub the Arlong arc?
(Not that I'm going to watch of course. I'm sadistically amused by the CONCEPT. I'm not massocistic.)
EDIT: I wrote "Narcisist" instead of "masochist" 0_o . Freudian slip?

I'm not so sure I'm sadistically amused about Arlong Park. More like masochistly amused. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I'd be more sadistically amused if they make it Water 7.

There's a website that actually posts them. I think it was Toonzone. One Piece has something like 1.9, second from the bottom of Fox's other shows, and Fox is generally below WB.

Yeah! They already posted that review in the Shaman King uncut DVDs 1 and 2 thread. Still, like someone else said there, I find it weird that the CEO doesn't know what's going on with his company........

Agreed, and besides, these "Uncut" episodes, they'd have so much cut, and then... DUBTITLES. Also for some series that they have had for hundreds of years they still haven't released uncut. (pokemon anyone?) Al Kahn is just a stupid arrogant ass who's only care is $$$

I read that interview, and one word came to mind, "bullshit." It's like the saying goes, "money talks, bullshit walks."

Yeah, that's why I'm not really too exciting about these uncut DVDs. It's like they're just throwing us a left-over bone to shut us up. At least Funimation and ADV actually appear to care about the anime fans somewhat.
