If that list is real, could someone start pulling up audible examples of their works? I'm a sub purist so I I sort of just scream a lot during dubs, but I can recognize an appropriate choice (maile flannigan as naruto, for instance) when I hear it.
Regardless, I am very much concerned with what that funimation guy said about the voice cast. Although they're likely to go with the right choice in the end, when I read that article it made me very mad that they would rather go with some esoteric interpretation on what the character should sound like and not how the character actually does (for me the anime seiyuu is as close as it gets) This reply has been idling in this window forgotten for a while so I am just going to submit it and hope for the best regarding finishing my thoughts. |

Luffy: Colleen Clinkenbeard ------->Riza Hawkeye (Full Metal Alchemist) Nami: Luci Christian------------------>Wrath (FMA) Zorro: Chris Sabat-------------------->Piccolo (DBZ) Usopp: Sonny Strait------------------>Krillen (DBZ) Sanji: Eric Vale------------------------->Future Trunks (DBZGT) Chopper: Brina Palencia------------->Maho (BECK) Robin: Stephanie Young------------->Kagero (Basilisk-she's fairly new) Looks like they're going to their roots a bit with this line-up...with over 300 plus episodes inevitably to do Funi is giving it's vets paychecks for the next 6, 7 years atleast....In traditional Funi fashion, the main character will have that timid female component to the voice (honestly it seems to work with shonen dubs--Kid Gohan/Goku for example)...I actually liked Luffy's orginal dub voice, however the actor didn't get good material to make it as good as it could have been...Overall much better than the alternative..Gonna be weird hearing Trunks in Sanji's body though^^....

Take a litsen to the youtube link on the site OMG_Zerg_Rush linked to... Colleen (luufy) as done a considerable deeper voice for another chacter as opposed to the lighter one of Riza Hawkeye Sabat also did vegeta and yamcha... i'm thinking a more yamcha voice would be best for Zoro, the others being too deep sounding to me... or maybe something more in between... In the case of Sanji, the sample on the site has a somewhat different voice than trunks... i like the sample they use because it voice of some guy whose in love and probably a bit of a womanizer from the sounds of it... chopper had me worried for a second, cause it started with a little girl voice, but then want into boy and picked up... Robin, with the fairly new voice actress, i think it's a pretty good one ya when you make a list of the previous work of the voice actors, you should list a couple of roles, instead of just one... since a good voice actor does more than just one... i mean, for Luffy i think their gonna go with something more like waht's in that youtube sample as opposed to Riza hawkeye |

I'm not sure, but i'm guessing the end of the month i think...
I recall looking it up once, though my memory is rather scetchy... i thiink funimation's licencing starts from episode 144 (i think the episode where the ship falls from the sky) and than onward and it think Tv.com says that that episode will air at the end of the month... its kinda hard to tell though since the names and numbers of the episodes are different (curse u 4kids) |

I, however, will definitly watch it. The ONLY anime I've found better than One Piece thus far was FMA. Bleach, Naruto, Hellsing, etc. nothing gives me the urge to watch it other than OP. can't wait for the english version! No more subs for me!!!! ( I hate subs. I would rather watch anime in english.However, since the previous OP dub is crap...it leaves me no other option.)

I hafta say that the 4kids version sucked, it was the voice acting that did it for me. Which was why I had stopped watching One Piece when it first aired on CN. But having the series picked up by Funimation is one of the best things tto happen.

I'm really do want to see how the new dub does... the youtube video has really struck my curiosity; it may not nessasairly be the offical voices their going with but it does give you a good idea. Not sure, but i think Robin's VA is the best match up out of the bunch in my opinion |
