One Piece rescued by FUNimation; new version starting at 144

[Uppa]

I'm utterly thrilled to hear this news, although I can't help but feel slightly uneasy about how One Piece will be handled. Granted, it'll be airing with a TV-PG rating, but upon observing what it has been twisted into by 4Kids, I fear just how much FUNimation will be inclined to retain.

It's company thats not 4kids

You can grantue it's gonna be better than them at least.

Jaya Island and Sky Piea is all I'm concerned about, it's gonna be great watching them dubbed by Funimation. <3

If FUNimation's past record is anything to go by you probably have nothing to worry about. They usually manage to turn out at least workable and enjoyable dubs with some of the highest rated dubs being produced off their back. As I stated earlier, I will probably start collecting DVDs when/if they release the first series although I may dabble in one or two volumes of the later series to get a taste of what they manage.

there seems to a poll running on Animeondvd.com on how they should deal with One Piece.
so if you are a member of the Animeondvd.com forums or are going to join.. i think recomended that you check this out. And also i have noticed that peeps from the industry check out the animeondvd.com and animenewsnetwork.com forums often so this could give them a taste of what the audience prefers.
