One Piece Anime news
At the One Piece panel, hosted jointly by Toei Animation and FUNimation Entertainment, Mike McFarland, the voice director of Funimation's dub of the series confirmed the new cast for the upcoming Cartoon Network broadcast of the third season of One Piece. The new voices are:
Luffy: Colleen Clinkenbeard <------(Yes!!! I missed getting her autograph at acen >_<)
Nami: Luci Christian
Zoro: Chris Sabat <----(OMG the perfectness *head explodes*)
Usopp: Sonny Strait <----(Krillin XD OMG OMG, sounds great)
Sanji: Eric Vale <----(the second perfectness, and older trunks for sanji)
Chopper: Brina Palencia
Robin: Stephanie Young
He also mentioned that the DVD box sets of the series that will be released starting next year will keep the original spellings of all of the characters' names. The eighth One Piece movie, Episode of Alabaster will be released on DVD sometime in 2008 as well. Unfortunately, while Funimation had hoped to release the first two seasons of the series, Viz still holds the rights to those episodes.
so to recap,
-New dvd set NEXT YEAR
-8Th movie release (yeah it's the worst movie but whatcha gonna do)
-Zolo on TV - Zoro on DVD,
-will start where 4KIDS left off
-and the best damn Voice cast I could ever hope for
I'll try to keep everyone updated as I find this info, which is a little older then I would like it to be. Hopefully some raw footage at Wizard World
Until next time True believers,
-Rudy
