Ask A FUNimation Rep!

[firecrouch]

.....Is Lance turning into a company yesman?

Yes.

 

[KYO'NYUU IMOUTO]

Will the episodes shown at AWA be uncut or the TV broadcast versions?


EDIT: Hey, Lance tell the guys behind the new One Piece site great work. Also, do you think you'll be able to use Zoro on the website? ^_^

 

[Mandouga]

I have two questions, plus one statement:

1. Spider Riders eventually ended up being cancelled on Kids' WB. Will Funimation release the entire series?

2. What is Funimation's opinion of the Witchblade ad which appears to contain "too much information" (if you know what I mean)?

And now for my statement. In regards to your One Piece dub, I really should ignore until it is redubbed from the beginning. However, considering that the show is still in production in Japan, among other things, I've decided to "play it your way" for now. Besides, I don't want to seem ungrateful. After all, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" as they say. I can only hope you won't make the same mistakes as 4Kids did (which I hear includes, but might not be limited to, repainting a black pirate character white, and even skipping an entire story arc). They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I actually hope, Mr. Funimation rep, that the grass is greener on your side of the fence.

EDIT: Whoops, my bad. It was the other way around with the pirate character.

reapinting a caucasian pirate character black

Uh, no, 4Kids did the EXACT OPPOSITE.

 

[Mandouga]

Oh yeah, that's right. I stand corrected. Fixed.

 

[Lord Trunks]

Maybe now this is a good time to ask this question, Will Funimation be stepping in and take a shot at saving some of the Doomed never to be released at this point Geneon Titles?

 

[Dark Fact]

Great job on the One Piece dub for you guys over at FUNimation. Looking forward to future episodes.

Thanks,

Sorry I'm not on these boards as much as I want to. I'll keep posting.

No?

wait.

Yes?

Maybe?

I'm confused.

 

[Rolling Cloud]

No?

wait.

Yes?

Maybe?

I'm confused.

You were saying "yes" so much here that Dark Fact was wondering if you were their yesman, so to speak. =P

Oh...Then no.

I think.

Let me sleep on it and ask me again tomorrow.

 

[RomanMack]

Not to keep pressuring, but do guys have any idea when the new One Piece site will be finished? The new dub has already been on for a month, so I'm just wondering...

 

[Dark Fact]

No?

wait.

Yes?

Maybe?

I'm confused.

Lance...you're starting to sound like my ex-girlfriend. For the love of God, cut it out.

 

[Pepperidge]

Lance, in regards to One Piece in Canada, please refer to my sig.

Make sure Toei understands that we're in a "different" situation, especially in regards to how the 4Kids dub was received. XD

 

[Dark Fact]

It could come back on YTV from scratch. However, wouldn't White Water end up dubbing it to meet CRTC guidelines?

 

[DBZALLSTAR]

Lance,

In regards to Starz getting the right to air Full Metal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala on their Edge channel: did Adult Swim receive an offer to air it? If they were given a chance to air it, did they turn it down? It just seems weird that the movie would not air on Adult Swim. It's common knowledge by now that Starz airs anime series and movies off and on, but it's odd that the one movie that's connected to a series that has aired on Adult Swim, with the exception of the Neon Genesis Evangelion films, would be aired on Starz instead. Any insight into this you can give us would be appreciated. Visiting the forums more often and giving us any information would also be appreciated. I'll let Dark Fact have at you.

Starz Media has the distribution rights to the two Evangelion films from their ownership of Manga entertainment

 

[Ducard]

Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist, have any of the OVA's been picked up?

What? You were expecting me to say something to him?
