I had loved One Piece for a very long time, the manga made me a very happy person inside. When I found out it was coming too America, I basically exploded with joy. But when I found out 4kids was dubbing it, my happiness was pulled away, and I became a broken emo for a very long time, then I got over it, because emo + Kristen = not a good combanation. Anyway, I held my breath and bore it, just too see my Zoro muffin on my very own tv felt like a blessing from god
Now I've suffered through many seasons of the english version of One Piece, and 4 kids has ruined it in the following ways...
HORRID VOICE ACTING!!
Exteamly stupid/annoying jokes and puns that make barely any sence.
Editing out of any blood, or violence for that matter!
Any kind of beer/wine refered too as... juice. (ZORO IS TOO MANLY FOR JUICE)
Things that were pointlessly edited... like so...
Enough said
And Sanji... has a fricken lollypop.... LOLLY POP!!!
Well, after dealing a long time with this horrific crap, I was just about too give up on the english series noticing that they had not uttered the word, "death, die or kill" once in my whole time watching it. When, as if an act of god, 4kids...dropped the rights! Let me give you a reanactment of what happend that day...
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *scream dance*
Then later, as if god had sent another mirical, Funimation got the license. Now time for another reanactment
SQQUEEEEEEELLAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA ALL MY LIFE HAS MEANING AGAIN!! WHOOP WHOOP!! PARTY OVER HERE!!! heart heart heart
And so on and so forth, anyway, onto my great news, they've finally announced who will be voice acting in the series. Rejoice my fellow who ever is reading my journal, for the time has come, for One Piece to be awesome again. I digress onto the new voice cast, which I find, very well chosen. If any of you have too disagree... tell your parents not me, I don't care, I'm just here too bare news.
Luffy: Colleen Clinkenbeard. (Played by another girl, but I think he sounds way less annoying)
Zoro *still Zolo in funimation*: Christopher Sabat (The same guy who voiced Piccolo and Vegeta from DBZ... A: What the heck B: SQUUEE HE CRAZY)
Nami: Luci Christian (NAMI'S IS PERFECT! I LOVE IT!)
Ussop: Sonny Strait (What.the.heck. He's so much less... idiotic sounding, I may actually like Ussop in the english version if Strait does a good job)
Sanji: Eric Vale (Same guy that voices Yuki from fruits basket, YAY NO EVIL ACCENT, but the lollypop has too stay... sadly... stupid fcc or whoever it is)
Nico Robin: Stephanie Young (Her's is also perfect)
Tony Tony Chopper: Brina Palencia (Same person who does Eve from black cat rofl )
And that be the new voice cast so far. LOVE IT! Also the things that Kristen is satisfied with is.
Toonami is still keeping One Piece on they're block so you, yes YOU can even see it.
They're going too put more violence in, if someone get's cut, you'll see the red marks, a little blood, the whole shabang.
I believe there will be actual drinking.
I'm hoping for some minor swearing, I'm not sure yet.
NO MORE GUM GUM RAP! They're bring back the orignal themes from the Japanese version. BE HAPPY Yiyo yiyo DREAMIN' DON'T GIVE *shot*
Uncut Dvds
UN FREAKING CUT DVDSSSSS!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
Sanji will become the ladies man we all (jazlyn_kindash) know and love
And much much more.
