Darn. We were so close.
Looks like 4Kids is going to have One Piece for a while, at least all the way through the Alabaster arc. I wouldn't be so mad at them if they (or whatever company has the rights to distribute them) would just make with the uncut DVDs already. Honestly. They said that they would do it when One Piece was first licensed, but we haven't heard anything official or substantial yet, other than a bunch of edited DVD announcements from alternating companies (first Toei, then Viz). |

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Both titles are property of 4Kids so they can take them on, or off anytime they want.

Nah, you just think you were that close, when in reality nobody truly knew what they were doing with the two titles, just speculated (and hoped) that it was canceled.
Yep, everyone who commented on the chances of the show being canceled "complained". While I doubt they ever planned for One Piece to be gone for long (4Kids would rather have bad ratings than admit defeat) I'm sure they LOVED the buzz this generated. Emerje |

The problem was that the fact that they were taken off and it had been permenant, it could have been an indicator that 4Kids was giving up on the two licenses. Then that would have led to some other company at least picking up the rest of series and giving them uncut releases.
It also could have meant that, for One Piece's case, they would have been focusing on making the show exclusively for Toonami, where it gets much, much better ratings and exposure. But, they're coming back, so all of this discussion has been for nothing. 
EDIT: Yes, we had no idea what was going to happen. But that also left the possibility that maybe they were being cancelled. Some fans will grasp at straws and hope for the best when they're desperate. |

I can't say this isn't surprising. However, I still wouldn't be surprised to catch Mew Mew on Miguzi within the next 6 months.

"If" and "could" aren't exactly "facts". Who says that even if the shows were canceled they would let the rights go? Who says they wouldn't just hold on to them for a few years and do nothing with them? People shouldn't act so disappointed that they didn't get what they wanted when there really wasn't any reason to believe they were going to get it in the first place. I mean, JLU hasn't been on Toonami for weeks and it doesn't look like Teen Titans will be renewed for another season, I guess that means WB might sell DC to another company right?

Mew Mew Power having a chance at returning? Not surprising.
One Piece? 4Kids, stop doing drugs. For god's sake, it's one of the lowest rated programs on Saturday morning television, yet it does surprisingly good on Toonami. Does this need to be made ANY more clearer to you guys!? |

Of course, within three weeks of TMM returning, they might take it off again...since they haven't licensed episodes 27-52.

Well at least we all know that one glorius day Kahn will be dumped into the bottom of hell for all eternity screaming for help while his skin rots off.
I live for that day....We all live for that day. Heck, I come to this site every chance I get so that I can see if he died yet and if FUNimation have announced Bleach yet. A company(4Kids) that was built off lies will be destroyed by truth. |

OP might not be canceled just yet, but there's a good chance it won't last past this season. Taking a show off the air during sweeps is almost always a sign of impending cancellation, or at the very least it's a sign that the show is underperforming and cancellation is being considered. So OP is in trouble, but exactly how much trouble remains to be seen. It might be on the bubble, and the next few months of ratings may determine its survival. It's also possible that 4Kids has already decided to pull the plug on the show but still intends to air the episodes they've already dubbed, which will probably take us through at least some if not all of the Alabasta arc.
In the end, all we have is what we had before-speculation. We probably won't know for sure until the 4Kids TV schedule for next fall is announced. |

If there even is a 4Kids TV next year. From what I've heard, Fox is considering to pull it because of its low ratings.
