I'm kinda surprised people are talking about his voice at this stage. We've seen him appear at least 2 or 3 times in the anime prior to this (albet a rather long time ago ^_^; His laugh IS new though I think.
I really enjoyed this flashback. Gives us a better understanding of some of the characters that will be major participants in this arc as well as nice development for Ace and White Beard. I'm sure manga readers just want things to start, and they will as of next week, but as one just enjoying the anime this week was a treat

Awesome episode, even if some of the stuff was padded out...i loved it. Even though we saw only a little of Thatch, he seemed like a nice guy.
Teach really did look like a psycho..... This flashback also gave marco a bit more added character..in the way he interacted with Ace...shovin food down his mouth WB's laugh sounded a bit weird...though...but its all good. |

This dude is supposed to give some monologues. He's supposed to be the closest thing to the king of the pirates. He needs an epic voice. Whitebeard has the power of shockwaves as seen in this episode. His voice should resound and shake the entire area. Only reason I can think of Whitebeard not getting a more epic voice is that they're saving voice actors for the final bosses of the series... the ultimate heavyweights. |

For those who are unsure of his laugh, I want you all to go to episode (I think it was) 316. This is the episode where Shanks and White Beard meet up. It is a bit into their discussion but there is a part where he begins to laugh. The laugh that we heard echoes the heavens. It is much more fitting for the man closest to being the Pirate King.
That is the laugh I was expecting, that is the laugh I had wished I heard. Not the gurgled laugh we heard.

His sounds fit good..Not pefect but good.The laugh on the other hand, is terrible.If you are hearing it for first time, you'll require a max 3 second to understand that its actually a laugh.
I also hated that seaquake animation.Worst water effect I've seen for a awhile.

Whitebeard's voice is perfectly fine. His laugh is exactly the same as it was before, so how come only now there is complaining? And of course his laugh isn't going to be loud and reverberate throughout his vicinity when he himself wasn't laughing out loud in this episode.

the sfx when Whitebeard used his Earthquake powers was...interesting, wasn't what I was expecting before hearing the walls of reality crack
I don't know if he's used his powers already in the anime, I've missed a lot of episodes. |

Its a bad laugh and you know it. In fact 1) its not even a laugh (and sounds nothing like GURARARARA) and 2) its not the same as it was before (at least the laugh wasn't). His voice is ok. I understand WBs a sick, old, dying man, and I'm fine with his tired sounding voice (as most people here are). His laugh is very lackluster however and just sounds awkward and comedic in equal measure.

And it doesn't sound like Gurararara to me, sounded more like a very soft uhurhurhurhur, more like a mumble then a laugh.

Man been a while, picked up the show when they finally stopped the filler and moved on to a decent plot line.
General Thoughts; Opening is GREAT, hopefully some of the good animators from the opening and the previous arcs come back, they really make the show fun! I skimmed the manga for this arc, but honestly Oda's layouts and over detailing of things made it such a pain in the ass to read, that I only know the GENERAL gist of what happens. Should be A LOT more fun to watch in anime form, specially with the great direction and acting the show has. I like Whitebeard's voice, sounds badass. I do admit his "Gurarara" laugh isn't nearly as good as Blackbeards "ZEHAHAHA!" though |

I'm curious about that as well.
Since Iwa-san's va is currently in trouble his lines this week were done by I'm thinking Wataru Takagi (Ganju in Bleach, Tobi in Naruto), but I'm not certain, for those who were interested.
