UNCUT ONE PIECE

Funimation Acquires One Piece
An interview at animeOnline with Funimation brand manager Lance
Heiskell reveals that Funimation has acquired the broadcast and DVD
rights to One Piece; an uncut, subtitled version of the show will be
available, as well as a newly dubbed version for television broadcast.
Funimation's version of the show will begin with episode 144.

Any word on the cast yet?

HAHAHAHAHAH, you can almost here the fans cry HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...seriously though, I wished they could've started the whole thing all over again, erase everything 4kids put their disease on ^_^ I just can't stand the acting and poor voice jobs, 4kids chose. Everything has to be near perfect, in order for the show to be a hit, their's a reason why fans love the show you know, but instead 4kids got death threats and such because of their stupid choices. I hope funimation, knows what they're doing, I really do...

Sounds really cool.

Although it's a shame they're starting from episode 144 instead of the beginning.

I bet, like the shift of so many other partial licenses, that the 4Kids one will eventually fall into Funimation's hands and we'll get box sets for 1-143. It'll be a few years (15? ^_^) but I bet it will happen.

dont worry this is same thing that happen to DBZ ,and also 4kids still has the rights to the 144 episode intill 2009,so when it expires there fun well redub them,lets hope so.

Thank GOD!!!!!

One Piece had every single bit of potential to become the next DBZ, but my GOD did 4Kids go out of their fwickin' way to ruin that show. I mean damn.

Here's for hoping the show will return to the right path and take its spot in the sun where it belongs. :thumbs:

My thoughts exactly, 4kids really are idiots! It irritates me to see how they can take such a popular show, and turn it into somethin else :disappoin They got a gold mine on their hands and created nothing but cr*p :laugh:

Here's for hoping the show will return to the right path and take its spot in the sun where it belongs. :thumbs:

Some how I find it really dim, I mean once it's been introduced! and all of the damage has been done,(Im talking about tons of debris here) how are they going to continue the show, without doing more damage? getting the voice's right isn't enough, I mean there are stuff to be unedited, like sanji's cig's for example! If they don't do that, why even bother, you know what I mean?

Here's the full scoop! :buttrock:

Well according the article JC posted Fuimation can and eventully will redo and release episodes 1-143 along the way.

Personally I'm glad One Piece is geeting a second chance with Funimation doing it because I have yet been able to get into Naruto and honestly this seemed more intersting than Naruto
