Love your videos! I liked the 4kids dub when it first came out, despite how cheesy it was, since it introduced me to such a fun series, but yeah, after awhile the jokes got worse as time past.
I wholeheartedly agree with you on Marc Diraison giving the best performance In the 4kids dub. He made Zoro my favorite character at the time.
If you want to hear him as he should have sounded as Zoro, look for the Youtube video, If Marc Diraison was still voicing Roronoa Zoro... by Tr0waAyanami. It's scenes of Zoro with the audio of Marc as Guts from the anime Beserk.
Hero, you are NOT a Social Justive Warrior. SJWs preach about equality yet find everything offensive, even attempting to write adult material in a kids' fandom, and they lambaste people for not knowing things like triggers or trigger warnings. I got attacked by some SJWs--one of which was the author of a fan fic I liked--because I dared to put it implications of rape and victim blaming in a fan fic even though it wasn't explicit, and my favorite author wrote a 10 paragraph long rant about how I'm a horrible person who doesn't care about anyone but myself that I should have warned for triggers that my fan fic is horrible and ableist and that my fan fic should have been rated M blah blah blah. You're not an SJW, Hero. You're one of the most understanding people I know, and you find the good and bad in anything and everything you watch/read/play without letting some things kill your enjoyment of them. You deserve all the respect in the world.
Personally I would have put the 4Kids dub at number 8. I agree with ALMOST everything you said about it, but... It wasn't actually 4Kids' fault. Not entirely, anyway. Toei forced them to dub it as part of a package deal along with two other shows they wanted to dub: Kinnikuman Nisei (Ultimate Muscle) and Ojamajo Doremi (Magical Doremi). They didn't want to dub One Piece, but they honestly had no choice. It was either dub all three, or dub none.

I actually like Marc Diraison's Zoro more than Chris Sabat's.
DeleteOh and they didn't remove Bellemere dying. They can have characters dying they just can't show it.

ReplyDeleteYowch! Well, I hope you got it all sorted out. And good luck on your fan fiction.
DeleteOh my god, who is the dingus at 4Kids who thought that was a good voice for Sanji?!
ReplyDeleteIt's not that bad. Kinda fits his personality.

ReplyDeleteThat explains the bad English Dubs they got, since this sounds like a rush job. But that doesn't excuse the lack of quality.
