YES ONE PIECE CANCELLED ON 4KIDS TV

"According to the 4K!ds website, Fox Net, and local Fox listings 4Kids TV is dropping Mew Mew Power and One Piece beginning this Saturday. " - www.animenewsnetwork.com

hope for uncut dvds!

I hope they go bankrupt and lose all their licenses...

I sure hope this is true but I'll refrain from celebrating until they officially announce that it's been dropped. The website indeed has removed the showtime of One Piece but not the One Piece page. It could very well be on hold. And it's very weird that they suddenly dropped it when they just announced the merchandise thats coming out. Sorry for being so negative.

About the uncut dvds. No dice. 4kids annouced a long time ago that there will be no uncut dvd's. Sure hope Viz picks it up if they really dropped it. Their dubbing is decent. Though we will probably be stuck with the lame voice actors. =/

Viz also said that they wouldn't be releasing uncut dvd's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Assertnfailure says that he'll continue to ignore 4kids and viz and download from Kaizoku fansubs

Yeah, most of us will do that, but I feel sorry for the idiots that don't know better and end up buying their shitty product.

One year bump? Why on Earth would I do that?

Well...One Piece has been dropped by 4kids!! Yeah, I know what happened last time but this time its different. Last time people just jumped to conclusions because it was removed from the 4kids t.v timeslot. This time its coming directly from a 4kids rep.

It started with an email a AP forum member wrote to a rep asking when/if the dub will be back which has disappeard from the Toonami time slot. The reply was:

4kids rep
I am sorry to say at this time there are no additional episodes being adapted by 4Kids Entertainment

So after this, the site admin for Save One Piece decided to contact the rep he/she has contacted before for updates and whatnot to see if it was really cancelled:

Save One Piece admin
Hello, IM a fan of One Piece and I recently heard a rumor online that 4kids is no longer dubbing/adapting the series. Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor?... if it is true, I would also like to know why if possible, as well as if another company might pick up the dubbing rights. Thank you for your time.

The reps reply was:

4kids rep
I would recommend that you direct your inquiries to Toei Animation. At this point 4Kids does not plan to adapt any further episodes of the series.

There you have it. From what the rep wrote it seems pretty clear that One Piece is finally free from 4kids. You happy? I sure am!!

Good riddance. I hate when I recommend OP to people and they are like, "I wanted OP for a while and hated it." I reply, "Dubbed or subbed?" Them, "Dubbed..."Me, "D'OH!"

[Knives122]

It's like a fucking dream come true. I may finally be able to watch OP dubbed and not have it make me want to die.

But I'll still probably do what Assertn said and just do what I'm doing now.
