Why do you think their gonna lose the license?
Why do you think their gonna lose the license?
I was deciphering what Jacob said as a joke in his earlier post. I don't really think they're gonna lose the license. I just think we're gonna have to wait a very long time.

Finished it.
I also added a comment for Season 4, but it's not like I'm going to be the only one mentioning it.
I added a comment for season 4 also.
I took the survey a few hours ago, and I think this might mean that FUNimation won't be able to announce anything about season 4 for a while, but they're still interested in keeping the One Piece fans happy with other stuff that they might be able to obtain licenses for more easily. Then again, I don't claim to know much about how license negotiations go down or FUNimation's PR policies, so don't quote me on that. Well, unless you really want to. I mean, I'm not gonna stop you or anything.
Just curious, did anyone else put down Unlimited Cruise SP under "other merchandise" they'd be interested in?
CHARMANDER, use your EMBER attack!
I really wanna see the CP9 and the Pirate war arcs but I only watch my anime dubbed. So I guess I have to wait a while for it to be released as voyages dubbed by Funimation.
I told them to make a more reasonable price for the DVDs, I know lots of places have bargains for them but I'm not spending 50 bucks on 13 episodes, I'd rather just download them. I buy the manga though.
I asked if they could say anything to Namco Bandai because although it was Funimation voice actors who provided the dub (NOT Funimation proper - the studio, Okatron, is owned by Chris Sabat, so he probably had easy access to the other OP VAs) it's ultimately NB's decision whether or not they want more OP games.
My opinion on Unlimited Cruise is this: Unlimited Adventure probably bombed over here for two reasons: a lack of advertising and Wii shortage (which was still going on around the time UA came out in the United States - I had just gone crazy trying to get a hold of my Wii when UA came out and only bought it because I had a system to play it on, otherwise it would have been a $40 Frisbee). What did they expected to happen to a game that is played on a hard to find console that had very little marketing to back it up?
Unlimited Adventure on the Wii or the 3DS could do better over here that UA did because One Piece has been doing better as a franchise here in the US and neither console it is available on is particularly hard to come by - the 3DS is a bit pricey, but you CAN find it, and the Wii is not only much easier to find but is also cheaper (and many people have one now).
However, regardless of how much we may want it stateside, it's still something that isn't up to Funimation. The best they could do (if they are even in contact with NB) is say "hey, One Piece is actually doing really well now, you should try releasing the games again".
Barring the fact that it's a perfectly reasonable price considering how much they pay for the series, there are about 3 things wrong with your statement:
1: $50? You were seeing them everywhere for $50?... You really weren't shopping around. I've never paid more than $30 for a One Piece set
2: "I'll just download them" is the attitude that has people worried that we're not going to get anymore, because FUNi may not be making enough money on them.
3: Where have you been? They're doing 26 Episode sets now, that are about $20 on Amazon right now.
Nothing here for now.
1: Yes, $50 on amazon that is. The List Price for the Sets on amazon is $49.98, but most of them are reduced in price (and are a much better deal), especially the older sets being pretty much $1 an episode which is a good deal. Which is why I wanted to buy them but the 26 Episode sets stopped me from doing so.
2: I said that I'd rather just download them, not I'll just download them. Don't put words in my mouth. For now I've been watching One Piece on the official sites, still supporting FUNi, instead of buying them. And yes, I don't have any plans to spend $30 or $50 for a set containing only 13 episodes for a series that has over 500 episodes currently.
3: I've known about the 26 Episode sets for a while now. They are a much more reasonable price, and they're the reason that I haven't bought the voyages. I plan on buying these sets though.
I did the survey, and I usually don't do these stupid things.
Why are they even starting over? Are they going to continue the 13 episode voyages even though they got the 26 episode sets now?

Uh...can I ask (re: beg) that the typo in the title be attended to if we're going to keep posting in this thread? :sweat: Thanks in advanced.
