This isn't that great of a review if you simply give everything 10/10. Certainly
the story of One Piece is well executed (at least in the parts that are not
filler episodes in the anime) You're review is very one sided. Sure you can be a
fan of the series, but take a step back and look at it objectively. I think I
may do a review of One Piece in response to this review...
I've only seen the first disc, but a comment on the dub... Both Hermes and Kino
are voice-acted by women. Kino's voice actress I had heard before in "Steel
Angel Kurumi" as a boy, and when I'd first listened, I'd have never been
able to guess that it wasn't a preteen boy. She has a very androgynous voice and
if I haven't learned she was a girl from the Kurumi DVD extras, I might still be
a little baffled.
As for the voice of Hermes, I know her best as an 'androgynous troll' from
Orphen. She's extrememly whiny and quite different from the japanese version I
admit... but maybe you're talking more about the actual dialogue between the two
of them?
I find this review to be accurate from a step-back point of view... but I don't
strp back, I dive in when I watch an anime. I really love this show, and
wouldn't mind if it kept going but I too get the feeling that there won't be a
good conclusion to this series... I wish they would continue on for another
12-13 episodes after 26, but they're only contracted to 26... ;-;
I've seen to the end of Ep 22 subbed and can't seem to find the torrent for 23
subbed... ;-;
a note that it has a lot of japanese puns and since the series is licensed, I
wonder what they'll do to these puns in the english dub... Every time I've seen
a show with puns like this, it loses a lot in the dubs because it just doesn't
work in the english language and they have to change so much in order to make it
work... but I can't judge until I see what they do with the actual thing when
it's release by Geneon.
