Well this isn’t entirely unexpected, since Funimation has expressed interest in One Piece for a long time, but it is nice to see. I still have to get into the series though. It just seems so daunting right now. |

I predict that either... a ) The vocal cast will stay - but will vastly improve anyway, thanks to a better vocal director. See: Yu-Gi-Oh, Uncut. B ) Chris Sabat will voice about half of the OP characters. And it's possible for BOTH to happen, oddly enough. |

I wouldn't mind the old cast staying...as long as they fix the script. Oh well, hopefully the new guys will be good. |

Whaa...? I knew that Blue Dragon was going to air tonight but I thought Funi's version of One Piece was going to keep airing at some point in the future. I see that Samurai Jack is on instead of DBZ as well. |

[Shakes head.] Of course. The series finally starts doing better overall, yet CN cans it for something they made for themselves / is cheaper to license. My guess, considering how derivative the show is, they made it themselves. Either way, ugh. |

Well that sucks. I'm not a OP fan at all, but it's terrible to do that when they finally had a decent dub. >>;; |

*prepares to launch nuclear war on Cartoon Network's administration* Yeah, I plan on saving at least a dozen for that new guy they hired. He probably was the final word on One Piece's future.....I hope that dick rots in hell. If Geass gets axed from [AS].....there will be a lot of hats on the ground the day after that decision is made....... |

Aw... I liked Kerry Williams as Nami... but wait... I LOVE Luci Christian! I'm really interested in seeing Colleen Clinkenbeard voicing Luffy... I don't know what to think :blink: And yes Caitlin Glass is going to star in it... <3 I'm liking most of FUNimations choices, and I can't wait to see the... third season... does this mean we get a box set? |

So, you didn't actually WATCH any of the episodes with the new cast? |

Nope... and I've enjoyed Luci Christian and Caitlin Glass in there other shows... if thats what you were asking? EDITED: I enjoy Luffy's voice a lot more... and the rest are okay... they all kind of seem more muture than their actual age... but that could just be me. |

No, not exactly...it was just that you were talking about being excited to hear them, when they've been airing episodes with the new cast for months and have just now been cancelled. As to the DVDs, we have no idea, really. I'd assume they'd do box sets, but with the show being dropped by CN now, who knows what their plans are. |

Well, they've BEEN doing new episodes for a while with the new cast, and everyone really seems to like them, but yesterday CN pulled the show and announced they weren't gonna air any more. I'm still assuming FUNi will release them on DVD, but there hasn't been any details yet really, since they were focusing just on the episodes they were airing on CN. |

Got it, Funi's been dubbing for quite awhile as in its nothing new, they just pulled OP from it's normal line up. And now were waiting to see what happens, since they've only been focusing on the episodes premiering on CN. |

Right. Sucks really, although it might become part of the FUNimation Channel now. |

They're doing 13-episode boxsets. Unfortunately, Funi is starting all the way at the beginning. Set 1 is (supposedly) due out in May...... |

Ah, so they DID decide on that. Last I had heard they were still debating. Well, that's probably one of the best ways to go about it. |
