I don't live in the States, but for some reason even I am quite excited about the Naruto premiere this Saturday.. im dying to hear the feedback and reaction from the dub.
EDIT: If you listen to the very end of that interview, the songs "ROCKS" by Hound Dog, the first Naruto OP, starts playing in the background. Does this mean that they will be keeping the original Japanese themes you think? |

Sean Akins didn't create the production values of interview; the folks at GATV did, and they decided to use that song to compliment the interview. We'll only know if the Toonami version keeps the original themes once it premieres (or Sean tells us, of course). |

That interviewer is fairly worthless. There were a lot of good quetions he almost asked but didn't (for example he ALMOST asked whether One Piece on CN would be getting lighter editing, but somehow whiffed it at the last minute).
Also, Rocks will not likely be the Naruto opening, simply because it doesn't say the word "Naruto" a dozen times within a thirty second period. It will likely be replaced with a rap song entitled "Naruto Natuto, Naruto Naruto Naruto", recorded by a highschool drop-out from suburban Michigan. |

One Peace airs on 4Kids TV, then is recyclred and aired on CN.

Right, but the fact that Akins didn't even know that made me laugh.
He would assume that One Piece would get less edits? Yeah, so did I. They dropped the ball by just regurgitating the same trash that was on 4Kids TV. Racing bores me, so I don't IGPX will hook me. Guess it's up to the dubs for Naruto and Bobo-bo-bobobo to see if I watch anything on Toonami besides Duel Masters. |

Speaking of Duel Masters, did you hear Akins' reaction when asked whether there would be more episodes airing in the future? It made me chuckle.

And yet all we know about Bobobo's English staff is Richard Epcar, and he is the ADR director.

Hehhehe, yeah. I actually really like the show. For a long long time, it was the only thing I watched on Toonami, but then they took it off.
It's not often you get to watch a funny parody anime for on something like Toonami. If the ratings are as bad as the Akins' reaction, I doubt we'll see all 48 episodes. Hmmm, if there's a boxset, I just might buy the DVDs, heh. |

Interesting interview. It was interesting to hear Akins speaking of the upcoming lineup for Toonami. (I can't wait for Bobobo-bo now, to be honest it sounds interesting)

Maybe he stopped himself because asking Sean Akins about One Piece editing makes about as much sense as asking George Lucas when he's going to make another Lord of the Rings movie? Akins and Toonami have nothing to do with the edits on One Piece-that's all 4Kids' doing. If CN were in charge of the One Piece edits, they'd probably be extremly minimal, considering the show airs at 10 PM at night. |

Of course CN has to do with the 4Kids editing. You think 4Kids likes editing stuff? If CN told them they didn't have to edit this or that, then they wouldn't have to edit this or that. I'm tired of people portraying CN as some blameless consumer of media, they PAY for this stuff, every bit of editing is 100% within their control, if they want it, they get it, if they don't, they don't have to take it.

One Piece is edited for 4Kids TV (on FOX), then Cartoon Network gets it afterwards. Unless you want 4Kids to go back and re-dub the entire series to date (I think they've done about 60 episodes), you're not likely to ever see it uncut (or at least not for a very long time). So no, it's not CN's fault, in fact it has nothing to do with them, they just air reruns of the Saturday morning broadcast from FOX. "You think 4Kids likes editing stuff?" - Since they make about 90% of the edits unnecessarily and of their own free will, I'd say yes they do. "if they want it, they get it, if they don't, they don't have to take it." - They also didn't have to take Saban's heavily edited first 2 seasons of Dragon Ball Z, but in the end it was CN buying these episodes that launched DBZ's popularity. Now we're seeing those first 2 seasons fully uncut on CN, so if nothing else, CN might at least launch One Piece's popularity and cause a shift in who holds the property and/or how it's edited. |

While redubbing the series with real actors would certainly improve the series, to remove most of the edits all they'd have to do is splice in the original video to the current dub tracks. It'd take a few minutes work per episode.
They edit to the saturday morning standards of the Fox Box.
That was then, this is now. The position of the anime industry, and CN's place in it, has significantly changed since then. They are in an 800lb. gorilla position to demand the quality of content that they want, IF they choose to leverrage that power. |
