Dont know what to say,only that you wish may have come true.
4Kids moving away from anime?
-
-
We have a official 4kids discussion you know. o_o;
And yes, we know all about it.
-
AWESOME!!! Now maybe someone else will get O.P. one can only hope that is… Great news tho.
-
They wont, One Piece is one of the things thats most making them money.
-
We can only pray 4kids is calling it quits. We must never let this happen to any other anime ever again.
-
They could sell it, of course. :3
-
If the sell One Piece, hopefully it will go to Funi or Viz. Until then, 3 years until One Piece is officialy saved.

I wouldn't say "officially". For all we know, 4Kids could've renewed it already.
-
Or they may try and tie it up and finish it by making a fake ending come 2009.
-
I hope you're wrong RomanGod, no anime deserves this treatment, not even the horrible Battle Arena Toshinden anime.

Well, I just mean renew One Piece. As it's been stated, 4Kids really doesn't want to lisence anymore anime, besides the ones they got currently (which would only be… One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and Magical Doremi)

U.U yeah I must visit this forum more often,I forgot of that thread since i actually dont care/go to it.

This is a good move for both fans of anime, and for 4Kids themselves.
Its not like there's another Yugioh or Pokemon merchandise phenom for them to milk again.
I really hope 4Kids statements about sticking to properties they create and own is their way of indirectly saying "the anime market is no longer for us, we've realize that, let's move on"
I had a much longer blurb about this topic in the other 4Kids forum, here's the link.

gogoedward, I agree with your post. I'm a fan of 4Kids' dub of Shaman King, and personally feel if all dubs either came out as well as mankin or were better (i.e. fewer random changes and stayed close to the original), I'd happily support them more often.
-
That's just the main branch they had that lisenced the anime. One Piece is already lisenced, therefore 4Kids will keep it, at least until 2009.
Even if 4Kids suddenly stopped doing the dub, more than likely they would just sit on it till it expired (like they did back when they got ahold of "Slayers," I believe; or was that just Fox Kids…?).
Meaning, OP still has a chance of someone else doing it, but not till the next three years or so, if we're lucky (starts praying).

(like they did back when they got ahold of "Slayers," I believe; or was that just Fox Kids…?)
i always wondered what happened to that. (i'm indifferent to them ruining OP, but Slayers… I would have been screaming like a crazy animal.)

Thank God they didn't get Slayers….
They'd destroy that even worse than OP, if that's even possible....
