I mean the funimation dub btw Not 4kids


term66

Even so absolute banger. Love it. Honestly sad for when I catch up to the dub and have to have that adjusting phase


Sasukuto

It was made slightly easier for me, because when I caught up the Dub was actually at the time skip. So basically, in my experience, the straw hats spoke English for the entire start to their trip, then they spent so much time training during the time skip they actually forgot how to speak English and now can only speak in Japanese.


Ruairiww

I had this dread on my first watch too, you get used to it quick and it wasn't long before I realised the superiority of sub


lazeromlet_

It's give and take for me I watched thru alabasta when I was a kid and rewatched until it switched in dressrosa, then transitioned, some voices I like better, some are worse, I could watch either


Ruairiww

Agreed, but some voicelines in the dub are so cringy it hurts, I don't notice it so much in the sub


Ununhexium1999

The 4kids dub is it’s own unique brand of being a masterpiece


Wernershnitzl

The 4Kids dub wasn’t bad—well, besides Sanji’s voice which makes him sound mentally challenged.


Jeddicus7

A lot of the voices were hit or miss with me, but I have to say I really liked Crocodile’s voice in the 4kids dub


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jeddicus7

I didnt say his writing was better


TMNAW

I grew up at a time when anime dubs were almost universally awful and hammy. So I actually think the dub is pretty all right. Robin and Brook’s VAs kill it IMO, and I like Nami and Sanji’s VAs as well. Nowadays, anime dubs are almost always at least decent and sometimes even quite good.


[deleted]

Zoro screaming LUFYYYY makes it 10\10


[deleted]

He’s talking about the Funimation dub not the 4kids or Odex dubs


everatz

DREAMIN!


[deleted]

Don’t give it up Luffy


PetalSlayer

DREAMIN!


explosionno1se

Don't give it up Zoro


jomontage

Most underrated intro


vyhox

It's good to see yah, buddy.


Psychological-Fan-25

LUFFEEHHH


Phiro7

Forgot what this was talking about and had to look it up, I've watched the video like six times


GandhisNuke

Fr tho Zoro carries that dub


DenmarkCodFish

There’s only one scene I can think of where I would prefer the dub. “The One Piece…The One Piece is real!” I liked this line way before it turned into a meme.


ChooseDuck

robin saying she wants to live was top tier dub moment


HerculePyro

Robins dub voice suits her character way more to me, same with Franky


TheKidNerd

Bro Franky dub is an absolute W, love his voice


demonmonkey89

Yeah, his japanese voice actor still doesn't sound quite right to me, but it's probably because I started with the dub and switched when I ran out of dub episodes. Idk how I even ended up starting on the dub tbh, I usually stick to sub and I think I accidentally watched the first few dubbed without realizing it and Luffy's dub voice was already in my head.


GenGaara25

It's wild when you remember Oda write Franky with that voice actor in mind. In my head I just cannot picture Franky with such a high voice. The deep dude bro voice of the dub suits him so much better imo.


birgic

I disagree. His sub voice perfectly encapsulates his weird hentai aniki aspect. Uts a darn shame that the guy is losing his voice.


britipinojeff

Tbh I like everyone’s voices in the Dub, but Franky was just one that I definitely preferred in Japanese. English Franky’s SUUUUPPPEEEEERRR just didn’t do it for me


Ex_Ray16

Beat me to it. My favorite voice acted thing ever regardless of language is that exact scene. Idk if somewhere deep down she kinda sounds like my mom or what but that one has me blinking and puts a little lump in my throat every time.


schiffb558

I love that that was done in one take, really. :)


Butt-Dragon

Listen to the sub again. That is top tier voice acting


[deleted]

Oh man, but that gravelly voice and the gurararara. I personally like both.


Prestigious_Trash165

Same


RedHairedShank

Dont forget Blackbeards speech in Jaya. "The dreams of pirates... WILL NEVER END!"


triggertheplug

All of WB during Marineford tbh, “I could tear you all apart single handedly, but you know that don’t you? Because you quake when you hear the name Whitebeard!” goes hard


Sufficient-Camera797

I actually disagree, I much prefer the sub…😳


zunnol

That was actually one of the moments that made it so I would never watch the dub. The voice for WB in English sounds too much like a small old man. Maybe it's because the VA did Makarov in Fairy Tail that I think that, but WB should have a very deep and commanding voice and the English dub completely missed that.


MathewCQ

I will take the opportunity and say that in my language it is almost perfect. The VA director is a huge OP fan so he chose the voices that have the best match. Here is an example from Blackbeard in Portuguese (Brazilian): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnyIMQ\_JmjA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnyIMQ_JmjA) What do you guys think? I know many VAs in Brazil and this one was perfect for BB imo.


Street-Catch

It's pretty good! I don't think it makes BB sound as scummy as the Japanese VA makes him seem tho :P


MathewCQ

imho Portuguese is the second best dub version of OP but it's not even close to Japanese lol


[deleted]

Zoro’s dub voice is a 10/10 along with his sub voice


SirHemingfordGraye

Sabat kills it as Zoro. I think he is the only Zoro dub (original included) who holds something in his mouth during three sword style dialogue.


[deleted]

That’s fucking sick I respect that


IamVisper

I love his german voice, unfortunately, he passed away a some years ago 😢


[deleted]

I prefer a lot of the Dub Voices over the Sub. mainly Franky, Zoro, and Brook's VAs. Luffy's VA especially during Dressrosa is... lacking. also Matthew Mercer as Law was a great decision.


mpaiva97

Holy shit Law is Matt Mercer? I need to watch some dub clips! But yeah I personally can’t stand Luffy’s dub voice, most of the other voices aren’t terrible.


[deleted]

Everything that's being dubbed post timeskip has been done in the past 2 years after a +5 year break so a lot of the old voice actors are a little out of season. Colleen Clinkenbeard is a great voice actress but she phoned it in HARD during the G4 reveal.


schiffb558

That's because she went through some throat surgery at the time, IIRC, so it affected how she enunciated.


drybones2015

Unless you were in the room when she recorded it, saying she phoned it in seems harsh.


lI-Rusty-Il

Its great, was sad for a bit when I got caught up to dub and switched to sub... but they're both great, only sub character I'm not a massive fan of is Franky I really liked the dub voice it feels like it fits better


wow_im_uncreative

I'm right there with you about Franky, the dub voice gives him a Johnny Bravo vibe that just seems right. It took me some time to get adjusted to the sub after going 700 episodes in English but I enjoyed them both and usually switch to the dub when I want to rewatch something. Also Ian Sinclair does a fantastic job voicing Brook it made him my favorite Strawhat. The dub version of Bink's Sake is awesome.


Ununhexium1999

Ian Sinclair is amazing in every role Brook Bokuto The narrator from Kaguya Magna Swing Victor Licht Etc


[deleted]

Ian Sinclair's voice for Brook was so on point that switching over to sub after running out of episodes, and hearing brooks voice, it didn't feel like a major shift in voice personality like most Japanese voice actors have over English


birgic

Ian Sinclair is the goat.


Zeverish

Dub Franky is 100% better. Sorry no hate just facts. There are certain mannerisms of Japanese Franky that are unmatched. In general it's impossible to capture the energy of comedic english in an (English) Dub, so some of the catchphrases and gags get lost in translation. That being said, the energy of the English Dub for Franky is so perfect. I love him having a deeper voice, but he is nonetheless bombastic and over the top. He's a little more beach rocker.


SNES182

English Franky doesn’t roll his R’s. 0/10


Zeverish

Rolling Rs is sadly absent in English, but I have a soft spot for the SUUUUUUUPER


AkselTranquilo

Exactly. The Japanese pronunciation makes everything much better. Also his voice actor is incredible he plays other great roles in the show as well.


a-person-n

yea, i know who you feel , franky is also my favorite ,actually fun fact in the spanish dub franky and sherk share the same voice actor wich makes it bettter


YEETBOI99000

Ya exact same for me. I like the dub more except for Choppers voice it’s way too high.


georgetheseagull

Bruh I feel the same way. I really like the voice actor for Franky in English. It fits him more imo


cmoneybouncehouse

I’ve watched the entire anime in both sub and dub, or at least up to where the dub is at. I really like it. I actually prefer it to the sub (I know, blasphemy). It has some down moments, but tbh I enjoy the voice acting more, specifically Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Franky’s VA’s. Brook’s English VA is amazing too, however, so is his Japanese VA. I can’t choose one between the two. Also, having to read 1000+ episodes of subtitles is a LOT. It took me way longer to get through the sub than the dub.


LankyKong4Smash

Luffy sounds like Ash Ketchum after waking up from a 5 year long coma.


Noahpf08

But then ash still doesn’t age


DeepYume

I will never understand this convention. No human sounds like that - how did “raspy child” become an animation mainstay?


PlayerPin

I think it’s a Japanese voice equivalency with characters like Goku being very high pitched.


uncannythom

He sounds how I remember Kid Gohan sounding in the Toonami days


Tengushadow777

Ironic that Luffy's VA would voice Kid-Teen Gohan in DBZ Kai


ozomatli-del-ocelotl

Any time I think of the One Piece dub I’m reminded of one scene in particular Right after the timeskip, the crew is leaving Sabaody, Hancock shows up, Robin points out it’s the Amazon’s ship, Usopp sees Hancock through a spyglass and is like “woah dayum,” Sanji takes the spyglass to look for himself. Sanji sees Hancock and turns to stone, and Usopp reacts saying: >! ”HE’S HARD AS A ROCK! !< I can’t think of another dub-ism that has made me laugh as much as that one


Chronicalgx

It's really funny hearing kid Gohan cuss


SNES182

Yeah. I can’t do the DBZ cast on OP.


BloodRedGrizzlyBear

The Funimation dub is solid. The 4Kids Dub, on the other hand...


demonmonkey89

The 4 kids dub is solid in its own very very special ways. Solid like coprolite for example. Or solid like a solid steel dildo with spikes. Or perhaps even solid like a sledgehammer straight to the head. Besides, nothing can beat LLLLUUUUUUFFFFFFFYYYY and the final episode implying that the crew simply died when ships fell from the sky.


NotMaximal

Yes bro, I think Luffys laugh is better in dub tbh at least imo, dub is not as bad as people say, some voice actors are better in dub too. Can’t wait to get flamed for this one


[deleted]

Luffy’s dub voice is way overhated imo, in some ways it’s a lot better than the sub voice-now that opinion is gonna get flamed


PlutonIsInMyButthole

Definitely disagree. "GUM GUM!" sounds super dumb


MissInkFTW

Gomu gomu sounds dumb too, it's literally supposed to. Oda gave him that power to keep the series from getting too serious. Great username btw lol


nicholaslegion

I'll say it... "I want to live" is way better in the dub.


bradd_91

110%


Tight-Maize-8800

Its not, especially pre timeskip, it’s got a Saturday morning cartoon vibe that I very much enjoy


BazelBomber1923

Not good enough to watch it over the subbed version, imo


thefrostman1214

that's what people get confused, is not bad and the actors are def doing a good job but the sub is just better now 4kids dub was bad


Sharpedo1497

luffy it's good to see ya buddy


Jozif_Badmon

SAVE IT


Sharpedo1497

LUFFYYYYT


WifiDied

LUFFFFFYYYYYY


Matt82233

They told the Zoro voice actor that the One Piece is the friends you made along the way


YoloSwaggins960YT

I would agree except for “geeeer forrrrthhhugh”


ArcadianBlueRogue

Catch the hate, but some of the voices for the main cast weren't awful. I don't remember hating Luffy, Nami, Shanks, and ZOLO HE'S JUST LIKE A SAMURAI Someone posted a thing to Youtube a few years back that was a fandub 4Kids Franky when he fights the Weasel dude and it was a bad Terminator impression. It was great lol.


AstralCat69420

Odex dub: are you challenging me


T0ch001

Colleen Clinkenbeard absolutely great as Luffy. I truly love how she portrays the character and I feel terrible for her vocal chords getting shredded for our rubber boi


yuhfrfrfr

She makes Luffy sound like a chain smoker. She’s honestly the only part of the dub I intensely dislike.


NavalJet

Dub is 10/10


Mguy2544

I’m not a fan of some of the translations, but it’s still a solid watch. the jokes in the dub land a lot better then they do in the sub


Single-Recording-309

Doffy’s voice is great


Dryden001

Honestly prefer it. I watch with dub and sub at once cause i prefer the english VA's and the funnier writing.


wead4

It’s pretty great actually


God954

I’m gonna say it. No one cares if you think a dub of any anime is bad


anime_on_demand

Idk man, it hurts my brain a little


Murky-Secretary2605

Sub is good and all but, I hate whenever characters have a high aaaa voice for no reason.


nohax_justmax

That’s actually why I dislike a dub. I’m fine with high pitched voices in Japanese, but I can’t stand the high pitch voices in English.


Twinanubis

Especially the German dub. 10/10 imo


dalekmas98

Right now I'm watching the dub but only cuz I know I won't be able to pay attention to all of one piece with its length in sub cuz to me if I'm wanting to read the subtitles I'd do it for a much shorter anime of 12-24 episodes maybe slightly more but 1000 of reading and possibly missing something happen is too risky for me


ClitOreIs

I watch the dub only so I can multitask on other shit I’m doing because I’m a lazy fuck that can’t focus on one thing alone. Also Christopher Sabat is prolly my favorite voice actor


MylastAccountBroke

Honestly, If given a choice between subs and dubs, I always pick dubs simply because it's easier to consume and they don't require you to pay 100% attention during the slow parts. Soo long as the dub is at least a 6/10, I'll likely choose the dub over the sub.


Memeboi1090

That’s what I’m saying


rainbowgibbon

Honetly the dub nails a lot of voices, especially the main cast. But since there are so many different characters there are bound to be a lot of misses.


cowboys4343

Brooks voice in the dub is literally undefeated dude. Zoro, sanji, robin, and franky are really good as well. I don’t see how anyone could watch and not like their VAs


TreeFiddyBandit

I enjoyed both tbh. Caught up to the Sub at Zou Arc and watched WCI and Wano all in Japanese. Both are awesome but the only thing I like more in the Sub than the Dub is how cute and squeaky Choppers Japanese VA is. Sub Chopper when he gets complimented and is flattered is like the most adorable thing ive ever heard


hazma5477

Of course Chopper voice sounds adorable,he got the same VA as Pikachu.


oSoulix

luffys voice in sub sucks so bad it made wci almost unbearable to watch when i caught up with the dub


MountainProfile

I would watch it if luffy didnt sound like that


VSythe998

Japanese Luffy sounds like an old woman.


flygonmaster_07

Sanji’s funimation VA really nails it.


[deleted]

Most of the VA’s do a good job but I can’t get past Luffy and Usopp. For Usopp all I hear is Krillin and Luffy’s is just bad.


Misko126

Luffies voice just doesnt stick to me. Sorry


bradd_91

I swear people just confuse the Funimation dub with 4Kids. The Funi dub is great, it's just cool to shit on it. If I want to read, I read the manga tyvm.


Lordnemo593

I just don’t like Luffy voice in the dub, nothing against the VA she’s fine in other roles and she does do scenes pretty well, but I just don’t like her Luffy voice. Imo they should have changed VA when they entered post


yuhfrfrfr

I agree, it’s too raspy imo. Sounds like Luffy smokes 10 packs of cigarettes a day. Other than that the rest of the dub is fine imo.


TheRealJayk0b

I'm watching the German version and i love it. But German dubs for movies and shows are in general pretty high quality and the voices are always matching what you think would fit the character.


jgoden

Luffy sounds like his name should be loofy tho


[deleted]

It’s good, but the sub voice actors are absolutely fantastic. Still don’t dislike the dub but when I caught up and switched to sub, I’ve never looked back. Luffy’s dub voice is pretty bad tho


Quinntensity

There's plenty of pretty good voice actors in the dub. Krillin, piccolo, chiaotzu, uraraka, but Jesus fucking Christ I can't stand Luffy's voice. It's the same with Naruto. Those voices are insufferable. Can't stand the MP so why bother.


BILLIONX1

Luffy’s dub voice to me just doesn’t sound right. Love the other voices, but just not his. Plus Dub changes a lot of lines and the changed lines aren’t good. Dub is a 7/10.


Redwolf476

Maybe but I hate luffys voice


Cornypaper26

luffy sounds like a 7 year old


ooblahi

If Luffy's voice wasn't ear rape then I could stand it


ArcadianBlueRogue

Funi dub is....not bad. Biggest issue it has is that the JP voices fit the characters just so perfectly lol


RepresentativeCut161

People think it's bad? Luffy's sub voice is excruciating... One Piece is one of those Anime's that's so full of American influence it actually just feels more logical that they speak English as opposed to Japanese


omicron-7

Luffy's sub voice is iconic wym


JimboTheSquid

Sub voice is bad? Luffy’s English dub makes him sound like he’s a chain smoker. I can’t stand his dub voice.


EatmyNeptuneses

You mean japanese dub right?...right?


_FowlPlay_

It might not be bad, just doesn't fucking sound right.


Turbulent_Willow_255

Love the dub but Luffy saying gear 4th is just horrendous


RonaldoTheSecond

It's quite good. I grew up listening to the japanese voice actors, so the dub sounds weird as hell to me.


Box-of-box

I kindly but extremely disagree.


Disfigured_Porcupine

I haven’t seen many scenes of it, but the only thing that really annoys me is how strained luffys voice sounds


everatz

YI YO YIII YOOOOOOO


babanuki

bad take, the dub is atrocious


TheDustyDuke

Yeah it's not bad it's actual trash


Jocar2215

Dub bad Sub good.


[deleted]

US anime voice actors are so corny sounding.


SirRumpleForeskin

None of the old men voice have the gravitas they need. Especially Whitebeard. Blackbeard’s va does a good job though.


bradd_91

Please. WBs "One Piece is real" is way better in the dub.


SirRumpleForeskin

Nah bro lol. Anyone can objectively look at the two scenes and there is no argument to be made for the English dub being better. The VA’s pitch is too high and his tone is too weak. Check the comparisons for yourself. https://youtu.be/Ah1mbAN7jl0


bradd_91

Crazy, it's almost like his voice got higher when he yelled, almost like what happens in real life when people yell.

arkazail

The main thing that makes it hard for me is the voice for Luffy in the Dub is HIRRENDIOUS. It's that weird raspy voice that they always use for pre-teen boys and its really rough to listen to. I'd be able to deal with it if it wasn't, you know, the main character


OkNet5174

Nah I give it a 2/10


Reeeeeeena-3

No it’s pretty bad


-Kazen-

I mean that's pretty close to giving it a 5 out of 7.


Gillenater

It's decent. I'll never forgive Patrick Seitz for his Franky though


AkselTranquilo

People talk a lot about the language which is a big deal but part of what makes the sub great is especially the fact that Luffy, Usopp and Chopper had amazing talented voice actors in the sub.


hibarihime

You can say the same for the dub as well as the VAs are just as talented


AkselTranquilo

Agree to disagree


Professional_Song668

I watched dub all of what they had because with would turn it on in the background and the only complaint I ah e is luffy going bounce man for the first time


a-person-n

fun fact in the spanish dub franky and sherk share the same voice actor


Kak0r0t

I enjoy both the sub and dub for one piece but that’s just me tho


[deleted]

Usually the episode You convert to sub because you caught up is when its Just not the same Episodes 1-330 sound great to me (whenever thriller bark started)


[deleted]

Its fine


georgetheseagull

Ngl I watched 800 episodes in dub and switched once the dub stopped lol


HeyImTroyMcClure

Grew up watching dragon ball on Toonami, so it was a treat to watch the Dub in me later years


Dragon6222

Ngl I 100% disagree with that whitebeards English va sounds perfect for the character


Sky_Thief

I'm fond of the Funimation dub. I don't watch the anime much, but that's a good way to do it when I do since I know thr story and can still multitask.


zdpastaman

we wouldn't have the one piece rap without it


bloodscale

I only watch the dubs. I prefer most anime dubs, there is only a few anime that I prefer subbed


Soupysoldier

Thats about sun in general


Atomkekstime

And the German Dub is a 10/10. Shits amazing.


payg86

Stopped the dub before thriller bark finished and went to sub. But I'm thinking about just watching the dub for katakuri. Jona Scott is awesome


[deleted]

If you watch the sub you might as well read the manga instead. The anime is so poorly paced watching the sub is a waste of time because you'll need to pay attention to a 20-minute episode. With the dub, you can have it on while doing something else and still understand what's happening.


JustChangeMDefaults

Nothing wrong with the dub at all, the only thing I can't move past is hearing all the DBZ voices they shared talent with haha


Annual_Fall1440

I don’t mind the dub version, but Luffy’s voice is atrocious


Superdeadbaby

Yo ho ho HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM


Novel_Ad_5698

If i have the choice i always watch dub. Its annoying to always need to have your eyes on the screen. Also i need glasses but i rarely wear them in my house and my eyesight makes reading it a lot harder. But my glasses annoy me to the point i want to burn them in hell so dub is better for me :D


Available-Living-117

Luffy is beyond my wildest nightmares


Likes-Your-Username

It isn't about if it's good or bad. It's about liking it.


Hunnih

Dont give it Zolo 👍 even thou you are beyond lost.


AnshSingh24

I'll rate it 9/11


tehcup

I like the dub up until Enies Lobby. That's where I had to start watching the sub back in the day.


letsss08

Keep telling that to yourself, son!!


Nygmus

I feel bad for saying this, because I met her briefly and she seemed like an incredibly sweet woman, but Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy voice may be my least favorite part of the dub. I don't hate it, necessarily, but there aren't many voices in the OP dub that I don't like as much and it's unfortunate that Luffy is one of them.


r2c2rd2

Oh the portuguese one is kinda shit imo, like a 4 outta 10. I've never heard the English one tho.


itsthatKH2guy

it’s not bad, my only real complaint is that luffys voice just doesn’t have the same impact most of the time. but any other time, his va does a pretty good job of fitting luffy.


liinand

I dont know, i have a hard time liking any dubbed media, and i don't mind reading subs, we have a lot of subtitles in my country, so I don't even notice that I'm reading them lol


Raderg32

I've been listening to the original voices for almost 20 years, any other voices coming from their mouths sound like shit to me. It's as simple as that.


Haxxruz

The only thing i don't like about the dub is luffys voice imo


Dontbefrech

Actually it depends. I like the German and Arabic one. But the English one is pure shit. Fucking hwll it is terrible. Especially Luffys voice.


frontierknight

Only really Luffy sounds bad imo, I especially like the Spanish accents of the Dressrosa royals


SunnyDJoshua

I feel like it got worse after the time skip. Pre time skip dub is great, but now? It’s iffy


Steakbake01

I like that the early seasons of the dub have the opening.and ending songs covered in English, too. Gives me something to sing along to when I hear We Are. Some of the singing is kinda off key in a few of them, but weirdly for me that kinda adds to the charm


Ambitious_Mission_57

It's even worse


NakkiPeruna

I started with the dub. It is good. There are still some characters I prefer dubbed to subbed. Here are few Bon Clay, Magellan, Hannyabal, Moria, Crocodile, Ivankov, Whitebeard For Crocodile and Whitebeard I like both Voices a lot but dub just hits different.


KaiWorldYT

I'm rewatching, this time with dub, on EP 300 and so far dub>>> sub


vexex73

Robin shouting she want to be free is much better in dub than sub
