One Piece - Collection Two

This is most definitely a great investment for any One Piece fan that wants to start a collection of the series! It includes both the original Japanese audio with subtitles by Funimation, as well as the English Funimation job (on which, as a fan of the original Japanese version and manga, Funimation did an absolutely amazing job on compared to most dubbing jobs.) If you're a One Piece fan and appreciate the Funimation dubbing job, this is your buy! It includes a commentary by the staff, voice actors, writers, directors etc. on two of the episodes, which are not only amusing but give you a good idea of what goes into dubbing One Piece as well as they do. The quality is fantastic. After watching the whole of the One Piece series online I can only say that the beautiful quality of this DVD blew me away the moment I set it up. The casing is compact, glossy, and definitely ideal for a complete collection.I can honestly say that I'd pay three times as much as I paid for this knowing it's as great as it is.The only down side is the subtitles. They don't match the English voices, rather just use the Japanese translation and often times the words at the bottom of the screen are horribly different from what they're actually hearing. Quite annoying if you're hard of hearing or watching with someone who is (which I will be) but only a minor set back. Otherwise this product is amazing... its arrival in my mailbox made my night!

A little bit from my review of season 1:"Don't let quirky animation style fool you... This is truly a treasure in entertainment. Great humor, amazing stories, spectacular character development... You will laugh, you will definitely cry, but above all, you will enjoy the journey and will find yourself caring for these characters and their aspirations."A lot happens in this season... And again I am not going to talk about it. Needless to say, the fights get more serious, the stakes are higher, the drama... well, let's just say that Nami is carrying a very, very heavy burden that leads to one of the most emotional stories I have ever read or seen, ever.Anyway, season 2 improves over the first season by making the strawhats test their resolve, making us cheer for them a lot more... Some episodes are slower paced but never dull or unimportant, all around great second season.

OH YOU THOUGHT I WAS BS-ING!? NOOOO WHEN I SAID I'MA BUY ALL ONE PIECE EPISODES, I MEANT AAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL ONE PIECE EPISODES! THE SHOW IS AMAZING! I THINK THE REASON I LKE IT SO MUCH IS BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS JUST LIKE ME. AND I MEAN EXACTLY LIKE ME! IT'S COOL CAUSE I NEVER REALLY LIKED MYSELF BEFORE I WATCH THIS SHOW!! ESPECIALLY THIS DVD!! THIS ONE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! AND TO ALL YOU OUT THERE, THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T RELATE TO THE MAIN CHARACTER THE WAY I CAN, I GARAUNTEE THAT THERE IS A CHARACTER SOMEWHERE IN THIS SHOW THAT YOU CAN RELATE TOO! THE SERIES ITSELF IS FUNNY, LOVABLE, EPIC, INDEARING, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, INSPIRING!!
