I don't see why, unless they were planning to broadcast the uncut, Japanese version Rolling Eyes

I'm more interested in One Piece though, I'm wondering whether its gonna be 4kids version or the new FUNimation dub....

Well thank God we finally have more news on Zoids Genesis. That was scheduled to air ages ago. Still irritating that it has an 'unspecified date' to air.

The service requires recent versions of Microsoft Windows, Windows Media Player, and Flash Player.

Which means I'll never watch them and probably many others too.

So....is it going to be FUNimation One Piece, or 4kids One Piece? Also, does this mean that (FUNimation) One Piece is still on for a TV broadcast?

So, when is FUNimation's One Piece going to start airing on Toonami?

It was supposed to be in August, so why have I not heard anything yet?

FUNimation's dub starts at episode 105. Episode 100 airs this week on Toonami. So at least 6 more weeks, & maybe more depending on if Toonami postpones any more episodes like they're doing next weekend. The August estimate was given to FUNimation if a new episode of One Piece was shown every week without a break. Needless to say, that hasn't happened.

& for people wondering which One Piece will be on Jetstream, it'll most likely be starting from episode 1. AKA, the 4Kids dub.

Hmm... I've been wanting Bo-bobo on the Jetstream for a while now. Yay. Now I can watch the early Bo-bobo episodes again, back at the point before the show turned into (more of) a mess, and back at the point before the jokes started to get tiresome as the writers began to run out of ideas. Back then, Bo-bobo and the gang, despite lacking motives for the most part, at least had a mission and were working on completing that mission. By the time the show reached the battles with villains like OVER, the show had already begun to lose its way (catch the coincidence there?).

By the way, episode 21 of Bo-bobo is the show's best episode ever. Bo-bobo vs. Captain Battleship. Combined a decent (for a show of that type) story with funnier than usual jokes. If the show was more like that all of the time, then I think people would like it more.

All of the above is my opinion. Since I began watching Kodocha and Hare+Guu, I haven't found Bo-bobo as funny as I used to, for whatever reason. So it goes.

The rest of the new shows though? I don't have a desire to watch 4kids One Piece again EVER, nor do I want to use time on DBZ any longer (it was my favorite show a long time ago, but...). Zoids is the kind of show that never interests me, and because I will never see it, I have no comment on it.

So, I'm going to kick back and wait for Eyeshield 21 for the most part. Football anime? Who'd have thought?

Yeah, same here. I so can't wait! Anime hyper

But yeah, none of this really excites me. DBZ is one heck of an awesome series, but I've seen it like, a thousand times over again already. Not too interested in Bobobo, maybe a once in a while sort of thing, and One Piece, well, maybe if it was the new Funimation version I'd care more, but if it's the 4kids one, yeah, no thanks. Never been all that interested in Zoids either.
