One Piece Episode 488 Download Watch

Monkey D. Luffy is a carefree young pirate with big dreams and a body made of rubber. He may begin his journey to fame inexplicably stuffed inside a floating barrel, but one day he plans to become the Pirate King. No self-respecting pirate king would be caught dead without a crew—or more accurately, would be killed if he didn't have one—so Luffy is on the lookout for skilled partners who will share his dream.

And then there's the English version. Funimation isn't exactly pulling out the stops, but they approach the project with all the professionalism and respect that one expects from an American licensor. Actors are generally well-matched to their roles, their performances often close enough to the originals to be a tad eerie. Of the main cast Christopher R. Sabat, in his usual gruff-but-kind groove, is a standout as Zoro, while Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy grows steadily on you. The supporting cast is excellent, especially when playing around a bit—Kenny Green is a pure gas as moon-walking pirate hypnotist Jango—and in the case of Carrie Savage's Kaya, can even carry some of the heavier scenes with surprising ease. The English-dubbed opening and ending songs will be an acquired taste (skillful songwriting notwithstanding), and when things get emotional in the Captain Kuro episodes the actors stumble somewhat over the clunky dialogue born of Funimation's uncharacteristic fidelity, but even at it's worst this version is far superior to 4Kids Entertainment's version. Of course it doesn't tell you much to say that it's better than 4Kids' hack job (that's like saying you're a better person than Hitler: it leaves an awful lot of leeway) but if watching 4Kids' version was like watching a Satanic cult eating an infant, then Funimation's version is like watching a perfectly normal family raise the same infant. Sure they have their problems, but at least no one gets devoured.
