..so while waiting, some ranting. I knew the One Piece dub, showing on 4kids and Toonami/Cartoon Network was crap from what I’ve heard. But now I actually watched one episode. Sanji’s kind-of-a-trademark, his smoking habit, got replaced by…

A LOLLY!!!

And Zoro acts like a chicken. 4Crap has really butchered this. Wonder how the Alabasta arc will go… So much blood… So much to edit out to make the 8-year olds happy =/
God bless American Dubbers with some brains. They could USE them. REALLY!!! Try not skipping half the storyline, leaving plot holes and butchering the remains in the process. Over-using wall-clips to fill up blood-scenes and the like.

Some sites which compares the subs and dubs nicely:
– One Piece: The Ultimate Opportunity and the Ultimate Blunder
– One Piece Episode Comparison Guide

Comics are coming up, had some odd problems with not seeing several sites and typing very odd. I should reboot more often to fix problems. And for reference, the review will be about the ORIGINAL JAPANESE ONE PIECE, not 4Craps One Piece of Crap.

Edit: Requiem 031 today, 032 and 033 on Wednesday. Then finally 034 on Friday.
