Well,I first got into One Piece with the manga, then when I heard that it was coming to 4Kids I was excited! Well I was bewildered at what I saw and heard.

No blood? No alcohol? WTF?! I just assumed it wasn't too bad. But after seeing the Japanese version, I was pissed. 4Kids made Usopp the comic relief! NOT COOL! Second Sanji sounds like a sick taxi driver. And what's worse is they skip all the major events!!!!!

I just about gave up on it when I recently saw the Funimation dub.I was checking to see how far the story was, first thing I saw was Nami's cleavage. I thought (oh they must've over looked that.) Then when Usopp spoke, something was different, his voice sounded excellent! He didn't sound like a 39 year old who's voice just broke, he sounded goofy in the best possible way!! I then knew it was the somewhat "dirtier" version. My little fangirl heart was pleased!!

So, how do you guys feel about the subject??

Usopp's old English dub voice was kind of fucking awesome, so I'm disappointed in the new cast.

Every character in One Piece is the freaking comic relief. Except maybe Nami.

When I think about it, Nami is like the viewer. She voices what people would normally say in most of the cast's situation.

Yeah, Zoro's new voice does Suck, and Luffy's 4kids voice actor does sound just like the Japanese voice. So his new one sucks too.

Luffy's voice is fine. Nami's voice is fine. Robin's voice is great. Usopp's voice is much, much, MUCH better. Sanji's voice is much, much, MUCH better. Zolo (yes, I said it. ZOLO!) is Piccolo in costume.

After I saw the Funimation opening, I fell in love with the new dub. They took the original opening and rerecorded it in English, which isn't quite as cool as the Japanese, but with One Piece's intended American audience, I suppose it was a must.

Usopp's new voice actor played Krillin on DBZ. Funny considering they're both the weakest yet one of the most important characters. And thank god Sanji doesn't sound like a sick taxi driver anymore!

Hopefully they stay true to their promises of releasing the series completely uncut when the DVDs come.

So yeah if you noticed, they still had to edit out certain things and keep other stuff left from the 4kids dub due to Cartoon Network's policies...

What...? I guess you haven't heard, but 4Kids ruins anime.

Well, I haven't seen the Funimation dub of One Piece. I'll have to get on that. The station that used to show the 4Kids dub cancelled it around the Wapol part, so I couldn't watch any more of it on TV.

I don't know. I still think they botched it.
None of the voice actors really appeal to me, but I got to say it's a HUUUUUUUUUGGGEE improvement to the original.

Although, I wish they switched over sooner so I could see some more Vivi cleavage. Sigh...can't win everything.

Humorously cheesy > Generic.
In other words, I'm somewhat disappointed with the new voices, boring intro, etc.

I'm not gonna lose sleep over it though, too busy being irritated on how Sonic went from AoStH to Sonic X. >_>

I think it's better, but I can't see it without downloading now (or since Drum Island >_>), so... I don't like Chopper or Luffy's voices... Chopper sounds like a girl now, and Luffy sounds his age >_> and like he smokes pot...

I like the new intro. Vic Mignonga (Sp?) is great. And I nearly had a heart attack of joy when they said "crap." It was saved from the 4kids pit of doom.

Because they're trying to appeal to a non-Japanese audience so they should have everything that most young audiences' parents would frown on. I could argue that the overuse of themes like smoking, blood, language, and violence in the original is a sad attempt to seem "mature" and, therefore, cool. Seriously, there's no need for so much over-the-top violence that it we become desensitized by it.

At least Sanji doesn't smoke a lollipop anymore. And the background music is a lot better too. And anything is better than the opening rap they had. And I think for the first couple of episodes after Funimation took over, they kept the eyecatch. I wish more dubs would keep the eyecatch.

I know plenty of good anime that don't ooze gore and alcohol, so I won't say One Piece is bad for that. I'm just more of a ninja than a pirate XDD

Yeah,so do I. My point is.....I like One Piece for it's light hearted entertainment yet hardcore seriousness. I'm into the story line and all, but without some of the original scenes in there it's just not the same.

I was extremely disappointed in the fact they cut out the episode where Usopp duels to get his new goggles. All because Usopp was "Comic Relief" *rolls eyes*
