100% this. Probably it got internally delayed yet again for some stupid reason. Who the hell knows when we’ll see it. One would hope they’d release the snowy arc in December, but December is running...

Well don’t have a dragon about it.

Someone decided where to spend the animators-artists’ time. They chose to sink more of that time into the ending sequence....

Same on the literal static image that they set on a directional path or zoom for most of the episode. The dragon was totally void of any animation for the first half of the episode. The animation at...

Probably, but they’re testing out FunimationNow as a first outlet. If they get a bump in subscribers when they release it, that may outweigh the extra few people who decide not to buy the DVDs...

I think the streaming releases are going to stick—not just be one and done to tie us over. They release plenty of shows on streaming before DVD.

I remember. Jewel still sounds like Kaku, and his performance in the video game is very close to what the replacement actor landed on. The clip of him singing just sounds like Kaku singing.

Why is Kaku singing the theme? Hah. That's weird. He isn't the worst, but Vic was a hell of a lot better.

So I’m betting they’re about forty episodes into dubbing DR right about now? Most weeks they can probably knock out the majority of three or four, and it’s been about ten weeks since they started...

I’m not sure the anime opening spoiled the fact that Kaido shows up randomly this early in the arc, this close to our characters. All it spoiled was that he has a dragon form.

The blue texturing on the dragon is just gorgeous. I took a few screencaps and want to use them as wallpapers or something.

The Ashura/Jack fight was not great; second half had better animation at least. First half felt really stiff. But the Kaido reveal was awesome. I’m hoping for an exact remake of the reveal next...

Yes, and that makes it much easier to wait for Punku Hazardo.

Great plot twist that probably won’t happen: Orochi has an insurance policy in case the Kozuki clan returns: Queen Toki is locked up on the island.

But also,...

So they finally dropped a short trailer.

How many episodes do you think they’re dubbing per week?

That was fun. The dub is always more fun than the subbed for me, so I didn’t mind the clip show pacing as much as I originally did. Hearing Eneru and Wyper again was fun. Tatum is great.

A new director? Clifford Chapin. What’s he done?

Man, the characters in this arc were so forgettable. I've seen it once or twice and read it and still I've forgotten most of the names you mentioned. Guess I won't care much about the recasts, then....

We’re not expecting and recasting for this one, are we? It’ll be nice to hear Tatum’s Eneru again, despite this special being not great.

I ordered from Funimation's website. They seem to ship things out way too late for them to arrive on time.

I mean, he technically says, "my future with the series was in question," but I don't understand why his future with the series was in question if the show was planned to resume. Maybe someone here...

So I guess the future of the dub was somewhat in question, according to the scriptwriter.

Yeah, I’ve gotten irritated lately by it, too. No idea if it’s 2019 or 2020.

That was a weird episode to watch, knowing the more specific version of events that we know now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get in announcements or a sudden drop tomorrow. There seems to be a lot of buzz about one piece at this convention.

February slate is out. No One Piece.

Been rewatching the episode. If One Piece had this level of polish weekly, it would be probably the best anime.

It might also be because it was in way more theaters than Gold was in.

I loved this episode too, but Zoro fighting a sword-wielding (in its teeth, no less) tiger was just ridiculous.
