Cartoon Network Has No Plans for One Piece's Return (Updated)
posted on 2008-03-29 03:12 EDTThe Toon Zone News website reports that America's Cartoon Network has confirmed that it has no plans to resume airing of the One Piece anime series. According to a representative, the network has aired all the episodes it received and does not plan to repeat them. The network has already filled One Piece's former timeslot with repeat showings of the Bakugan animated series. The One Piece episodes dubbed by Funimation debuted on Cartoon Network on September 29 of last year.
Update: The Bakugan repeats that replaced One Piece have just been replaced by Blue Dragon today. Thanks, Nebs.

This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
Alita is back and even more powerful than ever, but aside from a couple of fantastic scenes the story progression lacks the sense of excitement and anticipation commonly seen earlier in the series. Seeing one of the all-
