On June 4, 2004, 4Kids Entertainment announced that they had acquired the television distribution and merchandising license for One Piece in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. FUNimation was so confident they’d be given the rights, they registered the domain name for One Piece prior to anything being solidified. Test dubs were produced by FUNimation Entertainment (featuring Eric Vale as Luffy, Andrew Chandler as Zoro and Christopher Sabat as Helmeppo) and Ocean Productions (featuring Andrew Francis as Luffy, Samuel Vincent as Zoro and Chantal Strand as Apis) along with Blue Water Studios.
ONE PIECE DUBBING INDONESIA SERIES
Odex’s dub only ran for 104 episodes, at which point Odex was unable to further license the series from Toei Animation.Īs Toei Animation was scouting for an English dubbing company to produce an English dub for the series in 2004, there was stiff competition as to who would gain the rights. The common complaint leveled against the dub is the poor recording standards, poor editing and wooden acting. However many voice actors left between the two Seasons, characters such as Nami had three different voices through the Odex dub of the series. The dub had an extremely limited voice cast of initially 6 regular voice actors for the first season, then increased to 8 for the second. This dub is relatively unknown due to it being limited to those countries.
Odex's dub was translated independently and had no ties to any other form of translation. Though Odex tried to license it for TV, the deal fell through after 26 episodes, the dub was released on VCD in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Prior to the series’ acquisition by 4Kids Entertainment, an English dub was first recorded by the Singaporean dubbing company Odex in 2003, and was produced by Animax.
