One Piece and Mew Mew Power canceled?

Freakin' sweet.

I thought it was just a one week thing at first (when I heard about it) but according to that page, it looks like they're getting the axe...

In any case I'm happy Good place to stop One Piece too, the Drum arc just finished yesterday.

If its really true that they've been canceled, then that's great news. 4kids getting what they deserve. Sweet.

and 4kids owns the rights, so you'lll never see them in any form again, unless you import.

Also, Mew Mew Power got good ratings, but they're dropping it now for some reason... I think it may have something to do with the fact that there's not even any merchandise planned for the show.

Freakin' sweet.

I think by this point, most One Piece fans would rather the show be put in licensing hell for the rest of eternity than be stuck with this crap.

One Piece isn't canceled. Cartoon Network has yet to remove the series, and I doubt CN nor 4Kids want to kill what they have going there.

Mew Mew? I have no idea. Maybe it will come to Miguzi or something. :/

[quote=Kouji]Just because Mew Mew Power and One Piece aren't on the schedule for the next couple of Saturdays doesn't mean that they've been dropped for sure. 4kids temporarily dropped Shaman King during the summer reruns to air extra episodes of Winx Club, but then they brought it back for the new episodes, so until a formal announcement has been made, I'm not going to get my hopes up.

But the thing is, there were actually more episodes of One Piece scheduled. Then the ratings dipped severely and presto, One Piece leaves. Not to mention that it's always pretty much been a time bomb waiting to explode. Also, Mew Mew Power got good ratings, but they're dropping it now for some reason...

What does any of that have to do with my post? The point that I'm trying to make is just because One Piece and Mew Mew Power aren't on the schedule for the next couple of weeks doesn't mean they've been dropped for good. It could also mean that they're being dropped TEMPORARILY because 4Kids has done it before. My post had nothing to do with ratings or 4Kids' merchandise, so why you brought that up, I have no idea. And if Mew Mew Power and One Piece are moving to Cartoon Network, that doesn't mean the shows themselves are doing bad. Saturday mornings in general are slowly dying since people are moving to cable TV more.

Fox has already canned their weekday afternoon block a long time ago and Kid's WB is planning on dropping their weekday afternoon block beginning next year. I wouldn't be surprised that all Saturday morning cartoons die within the next year or two whether they're on Fox, Kid's WB, or even ABC. And really, if One Piece and Mew Mew Power are moving to Cartoon Network, then it might help give them better ratings. It probably would have been benifited them more to air it on Cartoon Network from the start because more people, especially anime fans, seem to watch cartoons on Cartoon Network more than they do Saturday mornings, not to mention they would have more freedom to choose what time to air One Piece and Mew Mew Power on a 24 hour cartoon cable network than on a five hour Saturday morning block on a local network. Really, which time slots would you think a show like Mew Mew Power would do better in? Once a week at 8:30 a.m. when most people are still asleep or five days a week at 5:00 p.m. when kids are wide awake and ready to watch cartoons?
