One Piece

One Piece Dubbed=Worste thing ive ever watched

One Piece Subbed= Very solid anime, with many twists and one hell of a story.

It doesnt really amaze me that "Ultimate" was not bothered by it, its more like im confused as to how its even possible that he was not bothered by it.


Well, I'm so against 4Kids I think ill post this....


4KIDS! THEY HAVE A DEATHWISH! THEY’VE JUST PROVED THAT THEY MUST *WANT* TO DIE! EITHER THAT OR THEY SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE ANY SOULS WHATSOEVER! OR MAYBE JUST NO BRAINS WHATSOEVER. IT WOULD TAKE SOMEONE WITH HALF A BRAIN TO SEE THAT ONE PIECE IS NOT A FREAKING CHILDREN’S CARTOON! IT’S AVERAGE AUDIENCE IS AGED 15-30! NOT FOR UNDER 10s! THE CHANGES ARE SO AWFUL THEY MAY HAVE WELL RENAMED THE SHOW ‘ONE-PIECE-OH!’ THIS JUST MIGHT BE *THE* WORST DUB EVER! EEEEVER! THIS COULD PROBABLY EVEN SURPASS CARDCAPTORS! NOOO! Now when I calm down, I will try to explain just SOME of the horrors instore. *tries to calm down* *good enough* Okay, first things first. ‘We Are!’ was an odd song, but it was fitting enough for the One Piece theme. But no, 4kids had to take the ‘we’re cool’ approach (in other words the ‘we suck and everyone hates us’ approach) by changing the opening theme to...yes, a PIRATE RAP SONG! (And I quote: ‘Yohoho! He took a bite of GUM GUM!) That alone would be enough to curse 4kids to hell and eternal suffering, but it gets far worse, trust me. Naturally, they pulled a VIZ and changed Gomu Gomu to Gum Gum. This wouldnt enrage me quite as much if it werent for the fact that they believe guns are unsuitable for children’s programs, thus Luffy isnt allowed to say ‘Pistol’. It’s ‘Gum Gum Blast’. As for the REAL guns, well they’re all gone. Blood and violence? Sayoonara. Nami kicking gits in the crotch? Snip. Anything that made One Piece funny, great and enjoyable? Bye byes! In fact, the end result has had many people who never saw the original saying that it’s ‘boring’ and ‘not funny at all’. (sticks more knives in 4kids voodoo dolls) But just when you think it cant get any more pointless, we remember the glorious Sanji-sama. Oh dear boys and girls, smoking is bad, we cant let the brainless retards who watch our crap see that! says 4kids. I’ve got a great idea! Lets digitally edit the guys TRADEMARK and ESSENCE OF SANJI into a LOLLYPOP! Oh great idea! Maybe now we’ll finaly die like we deserve! And the voices. I swear, my heart almost stopped when I heard Luffy speak. The thing about the voice-acting in One Piece is that it’s so god damn PERFECT. Every voice suits every character PERFECTLY! You can just hear the amount of effort and devotion that the voice-actors had to bring their characters to life. But hey, with 4kids, effort and devotion dont exist. Luffy sounds like...well I dont even know. Like some stupid thing out of a 50’s cartoon comes to mind, but it’s not Luffy. It sounded like they tried to make him sound funny like he does in the original, but whereas Luffy sounds funny, spastic yet cool in the proper version, English Luffy just sounds ohmygodI’mgonnathrowupallovermykeyboardIcantbelieve howhorrible4kidsare-ish. Zoro, or should I say ‘Zolo’ (why on EARTH...) sounds nothing short of lame. I dont wanna know about the others. Also, instead of Fluffy Luffy, or Lufy (with the ‘u’ pronounced like the ‘oo’ in ‘cook’) they pronounce his name ‘Loofy’. As in, rhymes with Goofy. Oh dear god...*cries and breaks more furniture* There’s a hundred other things that are so pointless I have no idea why they wasted the time to do them in the first place. All I know is that I’m too blinded with rage to remember.

One Piece is a masterpiece of story-telling, wit and the coolest characters I’ve ever come across. To have that all ruined and reduced to this utter, indescribable crap is one of the greatest tragedies of this age. I actually sincerely hope Oda-sama NEVER learns of this horror, or he will most likely either have a heart attack or become so depressed he wont create such wonders for us anymore.

I really, really, really hate 4kids.

I'll finish it off with a nice site re-capping every single thing 4kids had the sudden impulse in removing.

yeah you tell em! For some reason rant made me smile and think about how much I really hate them, hating makes me giggle.

But really Luffy's name is pronounced like Fluffy with the "F" or course. So not Loofy but Luffy...hmmm

Wow... Luffy is supposed to be pronounced like Fluffy, not Goofy? wow, I guess I've been watching the wrong subbed episodes then

[Unlimited Rice]

ok, eh, I'mma try to turn this topic in the right direction so this doesn't end up being a completely dub vs sub topic on one piece

Luffy's "Gear Second" looks pretty sweet, obviously, it's something he can fully handle yet. Looks like he beat Blueno, so that's one CP9 member down, but before Blueno fell to the ground, it looked like Luffy was gonna pull another Gear .... with him sticking his thumb in his mouth.... Gear Third?

looks like the rest of teh Strawhat crew is coming up. I liked that little funny part with Zoro going the wrong way.. naw seriously, his bad sense of direction has been so underestimated. Nami tells him to go up the stairs, yet he doesn't go anywhere near him.. good job dude.

Next ep, looks like the entire crew's on top staring up at Nico Robin

[anime_flower]

Yes, Zoro's sense of direction is um...is there a word for it...Scary. I think it's also funny how the fact that the Strawhat crew started off with three human monsters (Luffy, Zoro and Sanji) and normal humans (Nami and Usopp...hope I spelt it right). And, then joined one goat, deer looking dude (what's he's name...ah! It's on the tip of my tongue...nope it's not coming...) and one awsome lady with multiple hands. Man, I would love to have some extra hands once in a while, it would get things done so much quicker.

nah that can't be cause in japan his name is spelled Rufi and that wouldn't be pronoucned like Fluffy besides I've heard it before and it's definatly Luffy as in Goofy.

oops yeah this is turning into a sub vs dub >.<

Congrats, both of you completely mis-understood what I said.

Congrats, both of you completely mis-understood what I said.

huh? was it some sarcasm that we didn't pick up?

[Unlimited Rice]

so.. basically, all this ep was about the rest of the strawhat crew getting to the top of the courthouse

ep 275 - we'll finally get to see nico robin's past

[BasharOfTheAges]

275... wow I feel so behind. I'm sticking with KF until they get up to where GS is - unless there's another group that's been doing them decently... I'll still keep archiving the KF ones though - the DVD covers they've been putting up on the KF boards are quite sexy.

[anime_flower]

275 eps already...wow...hm...so, how long do you think this anime is going to be? Up to 300 eps and over, up to 370 and over? This anime is getting longer and longer by the minute and none of which shows us where getting close to the ending. Yikes.
