Interesting. "One Piece" kind of has this weird pattern of getting cancelled and then coming back.

Yeah it does!
Next is Germany, then comes the USA and the UK down the line!
Very good news! Congrats to all the Spaniards out there!
Wow. It just looks 2011 will be the year that One Piece makes a comeback. haha Still I guess this won't be proven until it comes to the US. haha
Interesting year so far indeed. "One Piece" TV gets cancelled in Germany but the movies are getting released, it's coming out on TV and DVD in several Eastern European countries, it comes back to Mexican T.V. in a bad timeslot apparently with new episodes, and now this.

Bad timeslot is just poor wording.. Its too kind to call the timeslot ONE PIECE got "Poor TimeSlot" I would call it "Who the fuck came with this shit" TimsSlot, suits better :) Now fury aside.
It was broadcasted at 4:00 A.M.! (Yeah, in the morning) the channel was Canal 5 so it had an incredible big audience (Shit of TimeSlot, heck of a channel), its seen for free in most of Mexico, I´d say around 80% of Mexico has it as a local channel, still the channel is just weird when it comes to anime, i.e. it has had Pretty Cure license for years and just recently broadcasted it, or randomly without any kind of promotion adds an anime to the timeslot just to take it out after a few weeks (I think that was sadly the case with ONE PIECE, don´t really know as I am not awake at 4:00 AM)
Aside from that congrats to Spain fans ;) Hope you get new episodes too, what episode did your Dub stopped at btw?
I think Spain stopped at around the filler between Alabasta and Skypiea.

Actually, the Spanish Dub stopped at episode 195, right at the end of the Skypeia arc.
Also, I recently did some more research and found out some more information on some of the other foreign dubs.
In Korea (yes the infamous Sanji with a lollipop and sheathed swords Zoro), One Piece is being redubbed from epsiode 1 on a separate cable channel than it has in the past (One Piece has aired on about 7 or 8 different channels there since the dubs premiere in 2003). This version will be completely uncut, unlike previous seasons (I believe season 3 for some odd reason did air uncut a couple years back).
In France, the Thriller Bark arc is set to air in he coming months. They recently left off at episode 325 in December, meaning that 325 dubbed episodes aired on French TV in the span of only 2.5 years!
With the revival of One Piece coupled with Sailor Moon, maybe there's a chance that our favorite Japanese animation can make a comeback from the slump its been in since the beginning of the recession (or depression in some aspects:pouty:).
wj, do you know when and where this new Korean dub will air?

YES!!! I was so sad when I got into the series and the series stopped on TV : (
Thank god, hope that Luffy's voice is better by now lol
Yes, the Korean dub will premiere on the channels Champ and Anione (both channels are owned by the same company), every day at 5:30pm.
And I hate to break it to you Sahil167, but some of the main characters for the Korean dub, including Luffy's VA, will reprise their role.
Also from my understanding, the edited version will continue on Tooniverse, staring from where it left off at episode 251. So in other words, their will be two differnt dubs of One Piece, premiering at the same time, with different editing practices. Why they are doing this is extremely bizarre, and not very cost effective.
By the way, I think the title of this thread should be changed to "One Piece returns to select international countries" or something along these lines, will all of this information flooding in.
For now I'll let it keep being called the Spain thread, if all this info from other countries starts snowballing and it's less focused on Spain on this one thread I'll change it.

I was talking about the Spanish dub actually lol
Great news for you guys in Spain! 
OT: Here's a question that's been constantly intriguing me: What do Spanish people think of Mihawk?
In my opinion the Spanish dub sucks (the first time I watched One Piece was in Spanish and that's why I didn't like it at first) but luckily I'm catalan so I can watch One Piece in catalan (which has a great dub and is in 405 and in the next months will continue). Here in Catalunya also have an episode every day (we have started again). But anyway, these are great news for the ones who like this dub and want to watch One Piece in Spanish. If they have a good audience, I'm sure they'll dub more episodes.
It would be nice to have a sub forum where fans from all over the world can discuss their country's official release of the anime. It could replace the Funimation sub-forum, which outside of the DVD sets and Simulcast has nothing else going on.
In Spain One Piece stopped at the end of Ennies Lobby arc.

Wrong. It stopped in episode 195, the end of Skypiea.
Yeah. Its REALLY funny that the Channel that Allowed One Piece's Return is owned by Turner.
Hm. Read the thread title. All it says on the mainpage is "One Piece RETURNS…". Got excited a little bit, and then found out the rest of the title was "...TO SPAIN!".
:pouty:
Yeah.THERE IS NO HOPE….For anyone outside of Europe.
But hey at least it isnt on Toonzai!
Nice to see different countries getting one piece back but ….I WANT IT ON US TV!

^ This.
In Catalonia/Catalunya, it got past the end of Ennies Lobby last I checked. I don't follow the anime, so I don't know if it went farther. 405 is pretty good. From what I remember, it was a good dub.
Never watched the spanish one, so I can't comment on it, but end of Skypiea isn't very much. . .
Congratulations to them!
Well I just went to the channel Boing to check if they had any OP ads and guess what, as soon as I went on there was an ad for One Piece. For anybody interested in timings it's on from Monday to Friday at 7:00pm. I'm assuming that's a pretty kick ass timeslot.
EDIT: I found out the exact airdate, March 7 plus more timeslots for anyone that gives a damn lol
Monday-Friday 13:00(two episodes)
Monday- Friday again 19:00 (two episodes)
Saturday 14:20 ( two episodes)
Saturday again 23:15 (two episodes)
Sunday 14:20 (two episodes)
It's awesome that they'll air it twice a day from Monday to Saturday, doubt anyone outside of Spain cares though.
EDIT: SHIT! They'll be airing from episode 1 :( So there is no confirmation that there will be episodes from 196 onwards.

Well that's to be expected. I mean it's been a while since it last aired they probably need to refresh viewers, so it's a good thing they're airing so many episodes per week. Hopefully they'll catch up and make new episodes.

True enough, hopefully they don't take to many breaks inbetween though but atleast I'll be able to rewatch the Alabasta arc.
Also for anyone who's interested, here's the ad.
Now that Jetix commercial was a lot cooler.

That was A Boing commercial…. Unless you mean another commercial. Man, Jetix was awesome in Europe....Except the UK.

On the side of that video you can see an old Jetix commercial for One Piece.

Ya know, everybody hated Jetix when it came on airwaves pretty much all around the world, after it replaced Fox Kids. Now that Disney XD replaced every last one of the Jetix channels, everybody wants it back. It was pretty cool that Jetix (at least in Europe) had many uncut anime as well as other good shows (Shin-Chan, Naruto, Bobobo, One Piece in Spain and Israel) and led to some shows getting localized such as Naruto in places such as Poland where they would not normally be dubbed.
On another note, does anyone know if the episodes on Boing as going to be censored or uncut? I also found out that Boing is owned by Turner, which owns Cartoon Network, the very one that put us in our situation here in the US. I beleve that if CN wouldn't have tried to almost entirinly wipe out anime, we would be seeing dubbed Ennis Lobby by now.:sad:
One foreseeable problem with that campaign to get One Piece back in the US on The Hub is that the Hub is co-owned by Hasbro. Hasbro doesn't make the one piece toys. They'd be promoting a product produced by a rival company.
This is great news, I hope it comes back on TV in the US I'm hopping for NickToons TV more than any channel. Cartoon Network would only screw it up again =/

Unless of course Hasbro got the toy rights. Plus they air other stuff too.

time for some "galleta galleta… METRALLETA!"
So apparently the Spainsh dub aired with the same edits previously done on Jetix (removing Japanese characters, etc.) and the ending was shortened. But hey, One Piece is back baby!

One Piece had HUGE ratings!
Oh and new episodes might be dubbed.
Well, it seems there is a possiblity that the spanish dub may re-start where it left off last time, ep 195.
According to Dub director and voice of Luffy, Jaime Roca, it all depends on the ratings the already dubbed episodes will have on Boing.
Since the ratings for the first 2 episodes were really good (The ratings for One Piece alone were larger than the ratings the whole channel had), well, a One Piece spanish fan should be exited….i know i am ;)
Great to have confirmation !
Hell yeah! This is amazing news. I personally am not currenty watching the series on TV right now (I am waiting for the Arlong arc) but this is just great that so many people saw it. I hate the fact that they started from ep one BUT as long as OP gets new fans, it is great.
Wow. It's awesome One Piece got such good ratings. I can only hope it gets such good ratings if it ever comes back on US television.
Wrong. It stopped in episode 195, the end of Skypiea.
I watched the end of Ennies Lobby arc at Canal 33…...
(era en Catalan).
One Piece had awesome ratings yesterday, the highests since it started. More than 200.000 viewers and a 2% in prime time, which is great.
FUCK THATS AWESOME!
