he is 12, so he should have no exuse for likeing 4kids. however, I think I got though to him just a little bit. I made him watch the 9 links to the worst 4kids moments and the 8 openings, and he said that, for the worst moments, the guy was right, and for the openings, he kinda liked it, but he still punched me in the gut and said "Thanks for waisting my time agian" after that, he put in a 4kids one piece dvd. However, I did notice a little gimmence whenever luffy, sanji, and usopp spoke. I think where getting throught to him. I was even thinking about giving you my adress so that you could cure him in persion. Also, it would be nice if funimation dub'd the openings as well. I'm getting pretty tired of heiring japanese. he keep's singing the curent naruto opening.
I would hate to think what would happen if 4kids got there grimy,vile,evil hands on naruto.

oh, and hi

Heso! Episode One!

And I capitalize 'The N00b' because it's a name and names are supposed to be capitalized. The only one you don't capitalize is swellow, because it doesn't deserve it. As for your score... I've stopped paying attention. The points don't matter, remember? It's probably not as high as you think, though - you still lose 50 points every time you hurt Usopp in the Hurt and Heal game.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hello all.

That infection I had is completely gone for the most part, though I still have to finish off the bottle of antibiotics. Oh well, at least I'm not bouncing off the walls like when I first started taking them.

boy, that must have been torture for your parents.

on another note.
Silver, it looked like your fist dose of japanese one piece backfired. after he finished watching it, he put in another dvd. and when he heard luffy, sanji, and usopp, no grimmence. Even I need to say that one piece is better in english. oh well, maby it's an aquired tast. although I must say, I am suprised he went through the whole episode.

Heso! That's because you only watched the first episode. There's no Usopp, Sanji, Vivi, or Robin, whose 4kids VAs suck no matter how you look at it, Nami and Zoro don't say anything, and Mayumi Tanaka, Luffy's Seiyuu, wasn't used to playing the character yet. As I've said many times, it only gets better as you go. Watch episode 130, which will be on Cartoon Netwrok in the near future... or better yet, episodes 70-77, which 4kids cut entirely for one of two reasons: Either because Nami wore a bikini and they didn't feel like censoring all the fanservice, or because Usopp decided to play hero and that's out of character for their horribly mutated version of everyone's favorite sharpshooter.

Also, for the record, FUNimation will be dubbing the One Piece openings like they did for Yu Yu Hakusho. Which sucks for me, who's so much of a geek that they know all the Japanese words, but should be good anyway. Also, your brother has severe violence issues and needs help.

Hi.

I never watched One-Piece, nor am I that interested in doing it, but someone who can take a 4-ton bat to the face and still live let alone move deserves respect.

Hi! 4kids sucks and should stop dubbing shows, I think we can all agree on that. And even though I usually prefer a good dub to subtitles, I can't stand most of the 4Kids One Piece voice actors (and that was before I'd even watched the show in Japanese, the 4Kids ones are just plain bad). But, as a rule, I don't like it when anyone redubs Japanese songs into English, most of them just don't sound that great.

Hi.

Dam, after watching that I realized how many scenes in the 4kids intro came out of the first show.

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Heso! It's veoh.com, and yes, you can watch Bleach there. As a matter of fact... that's where I watched Bleach.

And yeah, it's hard not to love One Piece if you actually give it a chance. Episode 10... that measn you're into the Usopp crew joinage arc! One of Silver's favorites for obvious reasons...

Personally? I wish they'd use the original Japanese openings too - I mean, Naruto gets the Japanese openings, and that IS the language the songs are supposed to be in - but the FUNimation dubs of the Yu Yu Hakusho openings weren't bad... And it's better that the Gum Gum Rap no matter how you look at it.

Konbanwa!

I like One Piece mostly because of Zoro. Three swords. Awesome. I also admire Luffy 'cause he's the stereotypical Shonen Jump hero (along with Naruto, Ichigo, and Yusuke, to name a few), and I usually end up liking those. Plus he's funny. Usopp and Sanji are hilarious, I feel sorry for Nami, and I didn't get far enough in the manga to find out about Robin (I read my piano teacher's son's Shonen Jump), though after reading her Wikipedia page, I feel sort of sorry for her too. Let's see...who am I missing...oh, Chopper. He's cute. XD

Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for almost all the main characters in that show...oO

The only One Piece anime I've ever watched was in English. I didn't like Usopp's or Sanji's voices, I remember that, and the Gum Gum Rap was pretty awful. I have heard Zoro's seiyu before, though he was doing the part of Iruga in Ragnarok Animation at the time. He sounded pretty cool.

At the time, though, I'm still wrapped up in Bleach, and I don't quite feel like leaving it yet. * pokes iPod half-full of Japanese songs related to Bleach* For the record, I watched Bleach on YouTube. Before I started downloading them. Ehehe...
