One Piece thread 6: The thread of EVIL!

[CosmicDebris]

No, you are mistaken, there is only All-Sunday, there was never just Sunday. They just took the All out of Sunday.

[Sanji]

Yeah, did they take out "All" because doesn't it also mean "Bloody Sunday" or something?

[Throes]

I guess, but if there were a "Miss Sunday" in Baroque Works, they weren't introduced in the anime. But next week, we get to hear some russian accents! YIPPIE!! ... 4kids ass-bags

[CosmicDebris]

Yeah, did they take out "All" because doesn't it also mean "Bloody Sunday" or something?

No, actually, I think it refers to the fact that all Sundays are the sabbath to Christians. And if anyone ever wondered, "Miss Doublefinger" refers to New Years Day - 1-1.
The bloody sunday thing came from some foreign dub.

[Throes]

Ooh, wow, I didn't know "doublefinger" referred to new years day.

Also, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but "Baroque Works" references to the music created during the "Baroque" era, right between the renaissance and classical music eras. Further expanding, "Baroque Works" usually refers to a part of a song vividly depicting a specific emotion.

Yep, although it wasn't just music, but also a movement in style of visual arts and architecture as well.

[Throes]

Well, this is just one educationally filling day! First, we find out Wapol has a bad russian accent, then we learn the background of "Baroque Works"! Let's stop until at least school starts, ok?

[CosmicDebris]

Hehe. One Piece is very edumacational. Eiichiro Oda is very obviously interested in history and archaeology (like Robin ). He pulls many of his ideas and designs out of real historical stuff.

[CosmicDebris]

Well folks, guess what, thanks to our lucky aussie and kiwi friends who are ahead of us in the dub, we get to hear Chopper early. It's a really scratchy clip, but here ya go: Chopper

It's not bad. At least they went for the right sound. A little more girlish sounding than Ootoni, but at least no accent for once. But Dr. Kureha sounds awful. XD

[Ashil]

awww he does'nt sound bad at all. hooray for not chopping up chopper!

[Throes]

No, I must say, not bad at all, they even left in the origional disease name! Kestia, However Kureha's voice just plain sucks. It's just how I thought it would be. But, Chopper's voice is way too girly, and may or may not fit, but they tried, and did a somewhat good job. That's a major improvement for 4kids, I just hope they leave in Sanji calling Kuromarimo "Afroman", even though I hear Wapol, Chess, and Kuromarimo get weird, and off accents.

[Sanji]

I knew Kureha would sound like a witch. Chopper sounds good, a little girly, but good. I bet it's Lisa Ortiz.

[CosmicDebris]

Yeah, Wapol and co. apparently sound Russian or something. Also, I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I heard Kureha got changed to Frieda.

But I'll have to wait and see whether Chopper's VA can act, and whether or not they do dumb stuff like change the voice for different forms. Still, at least it's not a total shock like Usopp and Sanji.

[Throes]

Hmm, changing Kureha to Frieda would make sense in 4kids' logic. But we'll have to wait to see if they change the voice for Choppers different forms. Also, this is their big money-making charachter, so they probably made sure to get a VA that can act, unlike certain people *coughDavidMoocough*...

[CosmicDebris]

I don't think that really has anything to do with it, because most of the best acting is from minor characters. And Sanji is a VERY popular character. His voice really confuses me the most. I mean, I can kind of undestand Usopp, I expected them to mess him up, but not Sanji.
