ive been really tempted to pick one piece up for about a year but the reviews of the sets on this site put me off. how bad really are the subs? and what sets would you recommend? i want to be convinced to buy it!
THe first season is great! The only episode that's messed up is the one with Luffy's past, but it you read the first manga like I did, you'll know what's going on! Everyone's name is as good as it's gonna get for an HK release:
Luffy: Rufy
Zoro: Zoro
Nami: Namy
Usopp: Usopu
Korby: Koby
AS for the second season...well, the episode after the Sanji arc, the subs PLUNGE, but are still understandable. Out of the 20 or so episodes there were only about 5 or less lines that I couldn't make out what the hell they meant. This season started the horrible name changes.
Luffy: Roof
Zoro: Knight man
Sanji:Sunkist
Usopp: Crook Bu(wtf?)
Nami: Namy
For the third seasons and beyond, it's about the quality of the first season, but a little bit worse than that. Out of the 60+ episodes after the second season, I only remember 1 line where I couldn't understand what's going on.
This is a little Off Topic but what's everyone's fave OP Opening Song and ending songs?
My fave is: Believe in Wonderland for the opening
And my fave ending is: Watashi ga iruyo aka "I Am Here". It sucks that this ending was only used for 5 episodes. Then they played that crap ass secret agent song for A WHOLE SEASON. GOD I HATED THAT SONG!!!, and now my second or third fave opening is now playing...I forget the name but it has the crew racing in the beginning and has the crew playing with animals, then has Namy standing on that cliff near the end.
