One Piece Season 4 Voyage 5

A review copy was provided by FUNimation Entertainment.

A few weeks ago, I checked out One Piece Season Four: Voyage Four, a DVD set detailing the revelation of CP9 and discussion of Franky’s past. This week, I had the chance to watch the most recent DVD release, One Piece Season Four: Voyage Five. This DVD set contains episodes 253-263 and focuses on the Strawhat Pirates chasing after the sea train Puffing Tom in hopes of rescuing Nico Robin before she is taken to the dreaded island of Enies Lobby. How did these episodes compare to the previous high quality releases often synomous with Funimation?

Season 4 Voyage 4 One Piece

A review copy was provided by FUNimation

FUNimation’s latest release of their acclaimed One Piece dub is the DVD set known as “Season Four: Voyage Four.” Set towards the end of the Water Seven arc, this 2 DVD set details events starting with the attack on Iceberg’s mansion and ends with the Strawhat Pirates chasing after the elite government spies known as CP9, who have left for their headquarters, the famed Enies Lobby. I’d read the manga of this particular plotline before, but never saw the anime. How did these episodes compare to my expectations, and what was their overall quality?

So it’s 2007 or 2008 and you’re some teenager in a DVD store or browsing Amazon for anime. Another month of part-time jobs and hard-earned allowance is about to vanish in a heartbeat. You take out your wallet and before your eyes is a grand box, $40 flies out of your hands either digitally or physically and here it comes. The decorated display box is filled with all sorts of trinkets. OST CDs, a shirt, a body-pillow cover, pencilboards, and even some cosplay props! Oh yeah, the DVD is there too of course, but it’s only the first four or five episodes. The empty space in the display box is lonely, begging for more, pleading for further financial transactions. Oh well. One down, three to go.

Evening, ladies and gents, the Inverseman here to talk about everyone’s favorite elephant in the room, the DVD industry. Do we need it? How have times changed? How have they stayed the same? It all starts with about five or so years ago, in an ancient time.
