Title: Guess what FUNimation animations is doing?
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 02, 2007, 09:38:51 AM
As alot of you might know, recently FUNimation animations (an animation company in America) has bought the rights over producing One Piece in America. A very good thing about that is that 4KIDS will no longer produce One Piece, EVER.  ;D

There's also more news. FUNimation will one day release an uncut and unsensored version of the original Japanese One Piece, although I'm not sure about language. Exactly. Not only with 4KIDS no longer have One Piece, but now a completely unsensored and uncut version of the original Japanese version. Finally, the "hell of anime" (4KIDS One Piece) has been frozen over.

Definately good news! I'm glad to hear that One Piece is out of their grip. And I only read the manga anyways, so its not so huge to me :P

I only read the manga, too. Techniqually I watch the anime, but only because I'm waiting for Futurama and Bleach to get on and I never pay attention to it. One Piece is actualy a good series, despite how 4KIDS made it look like the "hell of anime".

It will actually have blood.

I honestly don't know how you can have a violent show with absolutely no blood. 8)

You could have fighting Dekus. Dekus don't have blood.

A violent show about humans without blood.  :P

In some points blood was actually significant to the plot, too. They had to edit it out, though.

 ::) Edit it out? Are you kisdding me, they might as well not even have had the show. Be better off having drunken clowns run around and hit each other with balloons.

That means you and Gamefreak will have to get married, you know.

One Piece is actually a very good series and (sometimes) has very good characters (Rob Lucci, for example).

GAH! onepiece with 4kids or not is a horrible anime, the main character is nothing more than a swashbuckling version of Mr. Fantastic, that and there is a pirate that harnesses the power of tranvestites, and that is all you need to ruin an anime, go watch fullmetal alchemist or bleach if you want a good anime

Good thing I only read the manga, then.  :)

I do think that several other series are better than One Piece, but I do think it is a good series, more so than what 4KIDS ruined it to be.

If you 'only read the manga', then how would you  know (Or even care) what kind of job 4kids was doing?

Just saying that you must have also watched the show...

Wikipedia is a very relaible source as you already know, JQ.

And I plan on watching the anime once the FUNimation dub begins, I just need to know when. Once again, Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is actually a very good source, the problem is, its open nature encourages people to vandalize articles.

yea, most teacher at my school dont want us using it

My school itself has a list of sources that are not as accessable as Wikipedia, but Wikipedia is still a good source, much better than what people make it out to be.

Anyway, let's get back on topic, it would look bad for you to start spamming soon after you got promoted, right?
