Oh yeah, Funimation's dub feels like they took the Japanese voice actors and made them speak in perfect English. I will admit that it took me a little bit to get use to Colleen's voice for Luffy, but everyone else is quite solid. The only weirdness in the dub comes in the first several episodes to Skypiea, as Funi had dubbed that arc first, so the VAs were first fitting into their characters then, so when you watch the show from start to current, you notice a slight dip in their voices around then for a little bit. Other than that, this dub rules. Patrick Seitz is an incredible Franky while Stephanie Young is an amazing Robin.

It also helps that Toei requires Funimation to let those auditioning for the roles see and hear the characters in Japanese before they record their voices as Toei wants them to be as accurate as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if the same were to happen to the new Sailor Moon anime (assuming Funi will license it, which is most likely).
