Re: (Dub) 4Kids OFFICIALLY Cancels One Piece Production

Well, i'm unsure whether i should be happy, there'll be some hassle with the production rights and such, we might not see other One Piece episodes subbed ever again... ;___;

EDIT: Not that i care though, i'll just stick to the japanese versions >.>

Anyways, do you have some support for the dub despite it being very unpopular? Cause really, I'm so damn happy it's gonna end.

That's IF Viz gets it.
4Kids still has the licensing rights, and those expire in 2009. They could be really evil a$$holes and simply sit on the rights until they expire.......


However, seeing as how 4Kids has been steadily losing money since they acquired One Piece, they (meaning Al Kahn) will be desperately looking for funds to bail themselves out and possibly avoid Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I'm not sure if they have lost so much revenue that they are in actual danger of bankruptcy, but......knowing 4Kids, any time they are not on top and profiting may as well be called being in financial trouble to them.

Re: (Dub) 4Kids OFFICIALLY Cancels One Piece Production

*tsk* imagine how much money they would loose if Ichiro Oda found out. I hate Al Kahn, killed One Piece which is the best Manga(not to me, but to voters in Japan)

Re: (Dub) 4Kids OFFICIALLY Cancels One Piece Production

That's good news for OP fans. That was the most butchered piece of work I have ever seen in my life. It was more likely to turn off potential viewers than attract any new audiences. So even if it might not be dubbed again, still very good news for OP because at least there's hope for a kind of redemption sometimes in the future. Say direct "uncensored" videos, at least. But since the voice acting was terrible, probably just better to redo it all.

I doubt that Naruto would be dropped anytime soon btw, it's pretty popular right now in America. Most of the reason people hate it is because they're more used to the original versions, but the new audience here doesn't care.

I can watch the most scary/thrilling/horror movie at 12:00 midnight with the lights off under a full moon and not have the same shock as watching a One Piece 4Kids dub in the afternoon.

Yeah. I couldn't be happier that a company decided to stop doing dubs for a series. I haven't seen any worse than One Piece ever since I started watching anime, so it seems like it'll be near impossible for the new company to screw it up any worse.

I can actually hope it'll be good, now.

All we have to do is wait and see.
4Kids hasn't done anything yet......lets hope they do something....

...Toei (company who produces One Piece in Japan) could do what they did with the Sailor Moon series and just lock up One Piece and never re-license it.
We will have to wait and see what happens.

I can see the lock up happening but they (or somebody I am not quite sure who...was it Viz?) also released the first two seasons of Sailor Moon on a dvd box set unedited. But that was 5 or 8 years after the series was canceled on Toonami. So the same thing could happen with One Piece but the sucky thing with that is...it could be years before that happens.

Seeing what has been done-- already, do you guys think One Piece will ever get an audience as Naruto has in the US?

 

[studio]

Cartoon Network/Toonami seriously hyped up Naruto where as with One Piece they didn't do the same amount of advertising. Unless Toonami starts advertising it more then no. But the dubs do suck and they can be quite confusing.

Same thing happened with One Piece and 4Kids.
They never really hyped it up as much as they did with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Viz has definitely hyped up the One Piece manga, at least......so the manga is still getting some attention.

If it ever got a half-decent dub, and they stop butchering it with editing, i think it would be a hit. One piece is the funniest of the manga that that I've read and the anime carries most of the humor over.

The problem is who would air it. Even if unedited it's target audience is just to young for adult swim and toonami has already been down that road so they won't buy it again. I just don't see anyone out their that would buy/air it.
