Doesn't really matter to me, but I still would've rather seen a bad and highly censored dub than no dub at all. But could this mean some other company could pick this up and do a better job with it?

Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. Not gonna believe it until the source is posted.

If the news are true will it be picked up at all?And who would have wanted to dub it anyway? VIZ? Funimation?

Well, with 4Kids trend as of late, they've been dropping anime titles quite a bit. So perhaps One Piece might actually get a decent place to pick them up, perhaps even Viz.

4Kids have already made the episode where Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Storm on Luffy.

Are they just going to dump away all those extra expisode and end it?

It's really fine with me though. Give a real dubbing company a chance to dub it properly.

12-03-2006, 10:27 PM
It was going to happen sometime or later since the fanbase for One Piece was really low. I used to watch it like everyday when it came on at 10p.m but now I just watch the japenese version. I think when it began it was pretty popular.

Dr. Hiluruk

Here's my source for those who care:

Toon Zone Schedule (http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/index.php?browseNetworkID=13)

Prince of Tennis and MAR join Toonami that night, while One Piece gets the boot.

Unfortunately, I believe 4Kids still holds the rights until 2009. However, given their recent financial troubles, who knows how long they'll actually hold out. Hopefully sooner or later, Viz or Funimation can get their hands on Naruto.

Yeah, although Viz would keep Zolo. Though everything else would probably be from the original.

King Bookah
12-05-2006, 06:28 PM
FUnimation's good too. Although don't expect to see a new dub for a while, as the OP name is quite tarnished in the US. No matter how good the new dub will be, it would be foolish to start it early as it would suffer the same fate as the old dub. So most likely they will wait a year or 2 then try again. Either Viz or Funi is fine.

Well, here's hoping that Viz or FUNI picks this up, preferably Viz.

Bananna
12-05-2006, 10:52 PM
For realz? YEAAAAH!

...But I doubt it'd get picked up again. Sad. A new dub would mean the dubbers would have to start at episode 1 for a series with close to 400 episodes. They'd have to skip a LOT - well, that's what filler is for, but meh - and it'd be expensive if it didn't get ratings. Also, One Piece's early episodes weren't really all that fantastic, esp. animation wise. D:

Masaki
12-06-2006, 12:17 AM
Bananna's right. Regardless of what happens at this point, One Piece in America is already tarnished. Starting over is obviously the most favorable choice, but who would watch it if it's restarted, sub fans aside? Continuing on would mean plotholes from the skipping of Little Garden. And what'll happen with Zoro and Smoker's names?

Subbed DVDs are really the only hope here.

Well, this pretty much just killed my high :(. The sad thing is, you're most likely right.

But still, I'm holding on to my hope that this'll be another DBZ situation. I pray that someone from Viz picks up on how good this series is, and how much we all want it to be faithfully dubbed.

Thank Enel-sama! Conicidentally do you think the content of the Skypeia arc had anything to do with the drop if it's true... cuz you know claims of being god and the Shandian's wanting homeland back.. seems like they would've had to do skip the entire arc which would be "very shit".

Well the fanbase was good enough, from what I recall, the Toonami ratings were appearantly very good.

Though if 4kids did indeed drop it, there are much better dubbers than Viz... I'm surprised people consider them good in terms of anime (though I'd say they do a very good job with manga). Though I suppose their job with Inuyasha and Naruto aren't that bad, other series not so much. Genon and ADV do a good job more consistently, and I'd say even Funimation would be good enough. Though just because they aren't dubbing it, doesn't mean another company can pick it up.

Yeah, that's my main cuase of concern. I'm worried that because One Piece failed with 4Kids, Viz, Toei and everyone else will think the anime is a failure when it comes to the American audience. But I'm still prayin that Viz will realize its potential and pick it up :wtf.

I can't say I'm very optimistic about other companies picking it up any time soon, though. 4kids may not be ready to sell the license - and even if they are, possibly nobody else wants to pay for it now. They own the license until 2009, I think.
Maybe someone should just dub an uncut movie (Dead End Adventure perhaps) and show it on CN and see how it goes.

I actually liked Saban's dub though. Especially for the first 3 movies. Only problem was the heavy editing for the fight scenes, and the music changes.

But Funimation replaced the music with much crappier music, and changed the dialogue to make it cheesier. They did leave in the violence however. And Funi has gotten alot better since then, they no longer do that type of thing with other series, so I wouldnt mind them getting OP.
Viz would be perfect too.

Okay I emailed with:

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.

their reply was
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.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yo Yo
He;s gonna be the pirate king
Stretching like rubbers this boys thing
Monkey D. Luffys The Name
Helpign fols is his game
YO YO Yo
Then theres Zolo the pirate hunter
His blades make a flash liek rolling thunder

She's not as useful as any guy
Ussops nosey and Sanji Cooks

Choppers a reindeer and Robins harder to read than a book
Franky's like popeye
And sogeking got a great eye
YO YO YO YO YO

And if you had done a second of investigation you would have noticed that the url was just inserted twice. Or you could have just searched youtube for "dub usopp" yourself.

Dude, forget Usopp. They made Heavy Point Chopper sound like THAT?! No wonder the guy's not making the money they thought he would.

And those goddamn sound effects...

God, that Heavy point Chopper voice is awful. o_O It sounds like the same person who Marik's voice in dub YGO.

Anybody got clips of what Shanks and Mihawk sound like in the dub? I heard they gave Shanks an Irish accent, and Mihawk a French one.

Meh, it's horrid, but I think Usopp's is the worst. Atleast Sanji's dub voice is entertaining to listen too sometimes.

Shanks had like a cockney accent. I haven't heard Mihawk's voice, but I've heard it's French too.

I don't have Mihawk, but here's Shanks and his crew from Luffy's flashback.

It's just a sound clip. If you search youtube you might find some video clips.

You're the one that offered the link and the one who double linked it. You're a mod, you're not supposed to miss up.

:huh I'm not sure you know what a mod is supposed to do. And you're the one that recieved a link, clicked it and didn't bother for a second to find out what was wrong with it. Because really, it literally only took me a second to fix.

UGH!!!! Good lord that was horrid, poor poor Shanks. I shudder at the thought of how they butchered Mihawk. DAMN YOU 4KIDS!!!! :cussing

Heh, I had this dream last night that Shanks' dub voice changed. That would only happen if some other company does start dubbing One Piece though. XD

The second person talking is Yasopp. I don't remember if the third guy is Ben Beckman or Luck Reux, I don't remember the visuals.

If this is true then I hope another company picks it up. One Piece anime shouldn't be lost to the U.S. just because 4Kids killed it. At least we won't have to see anymore of those crappy dub episodes and it's horrific puns.

This may sound goofy of me, but i decided to wander round their god forsaken forums and to my surprise; they've just removed their One Piece forums and any advertising of it on their site. So apart from their initial minor section, One Piece is gone from 4kids; is this a real moment to celebrate their surrender?

I mean i know about their halted production and all, but it looks like they're also beginning to erase their traces of ever dubbing it..like that'll do much :notrust

Nope. The episodes they're showing were already produced a long time ago and aired in the UK. There are no more new episodes being produced by 4kids.
