Hey all. I wanna express my opinion towards the new dub from Funimation. I started getting back into One Piece after a long hiatus of not watching it or reading it for a long while since 4Kids dropped the license to air this show. I watched the first three episodes last night, and I have to say that the new dub looks promising. However, if there's anything about the two dubs I have to nit-pick about, it's the voice-actors.
When I compare the voice actors between these two dubs, I don't know why but I have to lean more towards the 4Kids dub actors. Don't get me wrong, the Funimation voice-actors do a SPECTACULAR job, after all we're talking about the same studio who dubbed shows like, the Dragon Ball franchise, Trigun, etc.. When I looked at the cast for the dub, I was suprised that Christopher Sabat is playing Roronoa Zoro. I mean, this is the the same guy who voices Vegata from DBZ! He pulls off a great job, I'll admit that. The voice actress for Luffy, I forget her name right now, she sounds like she's straining her voice when she does it. The 4Kids actress, she never sounded like she strained her voice just to get Luffy down. Oh well, I can't wait to see who all's gonna be playing Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper. :3
Thank you all for not being bored with me on this. I just wanted to express my opinion, on this. I'll see you all later! ^^
ONE MORE THING! Dragon Ball Z is OVERRATED!! Dragon Ball is better! :p
