^ I've got an answer for you there. Although, you might not like it. IMO (once again) the Japanese dub puts more passion into their voice acting. Me and A LOT of others feel Tanaka's voice acting. I can't say the same for Kai kid Gohan's. You debunked my first argument? OHHHH NOOOOO how will I ever live?!

How do you define "they have more passion"? Because they yell more or something? I never really got that line of logic when it came to people defending subs.

Basically. I can't say I blame you. It's something not a lot of people like to hear. But It's something you come to terms with being a sub fan of a particular series. Yelling being a reason that is. I can't lie to myself and say I don't enjoy that type of voice acting more than being calm and complacent.

What the hell are you talking about, how exactly do you know that Japanese voice actors do a better job and are objectively superior when you you don't even understand the language their speaking and you need subtitles to even figure out what their saying?
Also how do you even know when a Japanese voice actor is even doing a good job in the first place? Also I don't get your last point, Japanese actors don't yell anymore often that English voice actors do. Is whether the voice actors are yelling enough your only basis for determining when the voice acting is good or not and by extension the dub, if that's so then you don't know a damn thing about voice acting. Oh and for the last time Colleen Clinkenbeard was cast as Luffy long before she was Gohan so stop bringing that up.

So much for not giving a shit huh?

$164409 from playing in 371 theaters means each theater earned $443.15.
All of the theaters I saw only had one showing, so that's how much each theater earned per screening.
Ticket prices range from $10-$12 so, there were 44-37 people on average in each screening. That's amazing considering the only marketing done on it was posters, social media, and banner ads.

Okay I'll debunk your entire argument right here, first of all Funimation's dub of One Piece started in 2007 while their dub of DBZ Kai started in 2010 meaning One Piece was dubbed 3 years before DBZ Kai ,so Colleen Clinkenbeard & Brina Palencia were in One Piece before DBZ Kai, Ian Sinclair was cast as Brook before he was in Dragon Ball and Luci Christian, Stephanie Young & Patrick Seitz have never been in Dragon Ball at all outside the video games. second of all of course they share voice actors they were dubbed by the same company, that's like complaining that Naruto & Bleach shares many of the same voice actors and even than they've been consistantly casting actors outside their main talent pool since episode 207. Third of all a voice actor being in more than on major project has nothing to do with the quality of the voice acting. Finally if you have a problem with the voice actors for the main cast take it up with Oda not Funimation, he was the one who had final say on who the voice actors will be.

If you don't care for the dub in the first place why did you go see it in the theater instead of waiting for the dvd release, nobody is forcing you to watch it, to me it seems like you just wasted money on a less positive experience for yourself.

How do you define "they have more passion"? Because they yell more or something? I never really got that line of logic when it came to people defending subs.

@ryoukosan245

The fact that you think I'm in any type of argument with you proves how arrogant you are. Once again, I'm stating what I like and dislike. You are not about to tell me anything otherwise as I don't care for you at all. I appreciate you caring about me on the other hand and welcome it with open arms fam

Pretty amazing it had any viewers at all considering it was English dubbed.

Pretty amazing it had any viewers at all considering it was English dubbed. Great movie though, easily the most fun I've had with One Piece in years.
