@CosmicDebris:
True, we'll just have to see how things go. Most likely a large percent of us won't care too much by then anyway. :/
GTF.
Face it guys. In 3 years many of us wont even be watching One Piece anymore, and if we are we probably wont care much anymore. But don't hold me to this, alot could happen in 3 years. Hell, Oda could end One Piece in 3 years if he wanted.
But we also gotta ask, what will transpire with 4kids in those 3 years? Will they change? Will they bankrupt? Will they drop licenses? We also gotta ask, even if 4kids drops One Piece, what makes you think anyone will take it back up? I think it would be rather discouraging to dub companies seeing how the dub got a bad rep and it was even dropped.
Yea, this is it guys. I think we all need to tighten our belts and accept this. This is the fate of One Piece, even tho we like to say it fate really can't be changed. Time is a straight line, in that line 4kids got One Piece, and now will continue down that line with it. One Piece belongs to 4kids.
One Piece is 4kids bitch
And if its true One Piece is what is helping 4kids along then things will most likely stay that way. Theres thousands of people in the US who love the dub one piece, and theres thousands who hate it. But when it comes right down to it…theres less sub watchers than dub watchers. So if we were thrown into a war, they'd be plenty more of them then us. We'd be slaughted, even tho we know the truth.
And when it really comes down to the US audiance about the One Piece dub being more childish and horrible than the original.
They simply don't give a damn!
Right along with 4kids Entertainment. All most of them really care about is theres something on tv they can sit on their asses and watch. I too use to be a dub watcher and despite it pains me to say this. Its highly watchable and is entertaining, even tho the original is far better. And thats the painful truth. Its horrible to the original but its still entertainment.
WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY!
