I really. Really enjoy One Piece. I first watched One Piece way back in
2005, when 4kids had gained the rights to dub it. I was more of an English dub
fan back then so I was really excited to hear that they were going to dub an
Anime about Pirates (though I had never seen One Piece at this stage) I loved
Pirates, and Anime… So I was looking forward to seeing it. Boy oh Boy after
watching the 4kids dub, I must say I had to go and watch the original Japanese
version and man, I prefered the Japanese over the 4kids dub by a mile. Voices
and music were better, no crappy edits. Story in-tacked. It was sooo much
better. In 2007 when I first heard FUNimation was dubbing it, I jumped up and
down because FUNimation was my favourite dubbing company since they dub
everything UNCUT with great scripts and voice actors. They did not disappoint
either, when I saw the first episode they dubbed (episode 144) I loved it so
much, and in 2008 when they announced they were going back to redub it, I was
excited and since I have watched the FUNimation dub of One Piece right through.
I am usually a Japanese/Eng Sub dude now but One Piece is the one of the only
english dub I can sit through. 5 stars for the English dub on this Anime. So
if you are in love with an Anime such as DBZ, You should get this Anime.
I imported this DVD back in 2008 from America and have since purchased all the
DVDs up to Season 3 – Fifth Voyage (Collection 16 when released here) as
well as Movie 8 and love everything about it. You could should purchase this
from MightyApe today. And enjoy a great Anime about Pirates by the legendary
Eiichiro Oda.
