Should I watch?

[Mr. Roboto]

it is pretty addictive. I'm on episode 44 now and i really like it. hopefully it is still going strong by the time i catch up to 300.

It makes me think alot about how i didn't watch this show because i'd seen the horrible english dub of it on early morning tv when in fact it has some serious plot and action going on.

there's some slow parts but it's not anything too bad or long. plus you can get through them pretty quick since you don't have to wait a week for a new episode to be released. if you've made it to episode 44 then you are in for the duration.

Don't know if i should really watch episodes 220-226. I know it is the memory loss filler arc, just wanted to know if it is worth watching and if it has any relavents to the actual storyline.

At the moment I really don't know if to watching it or not. Can someone who has seen it give me some advice (pros, cons) without spoiling it for everyone. PM me is you want too. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any input you have to offer.

ok.... this is now in one way my favorite anime.....i'm on ep 135 now and currently is the only show i watch every single day..

this is kinda a bitch thread thing but im going to post it here..

I turned on the tv tonight, first time in a long time and one piece is on... and its right areound where i just finished watching... first 5 seconds, im cursing the tv... the english dub is so bad.

and now.....instead of having blood running over his fists... its sweat to allow him to hit crocodile? wtf.... and now im looking at zorro who has grey slashes across his chest instead of bloody wounds...

this is a crime, usopps voice is so bad, i could go on and on. *REDICULOUS* ... damn.. the show is still on my tv !!!!

official conclusion : One Piece is an excellent series as long as you keep it un edited and in japanese with subtitles.... the english version is just terrible.

If it's the 4kids dub, by all means bitch all you want. Everyone pretty much agrees it's the worst dub ever. Good thing though that 4kids already dropped the license for One Piece and was taken up by Funimation. For now Toonami will finish up the remainder of the 4kids dubbed episode (up until the Rainbow Mist filler arc) and will start airing the new funimation dub in August.

I was wondering if the funimation dub will be edited or not. but in actuality i dont care that much. If i watch so much of a series subbed there is no going back for me anyhow.

Every anime in the toonami block will have to be edited in some way. Toonami did give some restrictions:

-Huge amount of blood will be edited out (I would say it would be like the Naruto dub. It will have blood, just not blood gushing out or something)

- Still no alchohol if i remember correctly (I sort of understand since they are underage according to American law at least).

- Sanji unfortunately will still have his sucker. This is because since he is a main character, It will be too much work to change it into say a toothpick or something. Toonami strangely did not let Funimation just delete the smoke like what they did with Asuma in Naruto. Smoker will have his cigars though, just not lit.

- There was a bunch of name changes from a supposed "List" that came from Toei animation. Thankfully the translation team worked on that and they were able to keep the original names. Still, there will be some changes here and there. Nami's Climatact is now the Climate Baton for example. Much better that 4kids Weather Forcer at least.

- Punches will not be shown doing actual contact. It will be replaced by a brief flash (this is the one I'm most worried about)

That's what I remember at least. It will have new VA's now, no arc skips, original music, no stupid puns and they will have uncut dvd's as well. I reserve my judgment till August.
