They'd probably only be on Water 7 currently if they did that. |

Why do you think a series going on for so long is always a bad thing? The One Piece world wouldn't be as complex and vast as it is now if it had ended at Volume 20 or earlier. There wouldn't be as many diverse and interesting characters also. Oda even mentioned before that there's still a lot of things he plans on doing with One Piece. Which is one of the main reasons why it's going to be his only long-running manga series. Let the man write his story for as long as he wants to. |

I wouldn't be too sure about that. They certainly dug up the 2004 original dub of DBGT, complete with the so-called "rap" music and all. How the 2008 dub with the original music DIDN'T wind up in their hands is a bit baffling to me, but I suppose a number of things factored into it. Oh, and there's also the edited 4Kids dub of Yu-Gi-Oh which they're airing (not that there's really any other dub...). And editing One Piece for Nickelodeon, all those episodes, would indeed have cost a damn fortune, I'm sure. Regarding OP not being over yet, I figure it's at least good that Oda's going to stick with the original ending he outlined long ago, rather than changing it around and developing it into something else as OP goes on and on and on and on...I suppose it suggests that despite its length, it's not spiraling out of control and getting weak, etc. It's still speeding along towards the same resolution, no matter how long it takes. |

Thats not how Japanese TV works. If you forfeit your timeslot, you can't get it back until whatever takes it is finished... and for a really high demand timeslot like One Piece has, it probably wouldn't be able to get its timeslot back. So best it could do is getting a less desireable timeslot down the line... and thats not really worth it just to put in less fillers. |

Given how much is edited out of Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal and Dragonball Kai, I doubt One Piece would fair much better on Nickelodeon. I mean, they don't even let Kotori wear a skirt in Zexal, I can't imagine what they'd do to post-timeskip Nami who waltzes around in a bikini top all the time. About the only difference between a new Funi dub on Nick and the 4Kids one would probably be them keeping the original music. |

I think Toonami is trying to appeal to the average fans, while appeasing the hardcore fans, who have seen these episodes (and the dub) backwards and forwards and have no reason to watch on TV. While I can see where they're coming from, I would've rather them find a way to run through the first several uncut story arcs quickly (maybe two episodes a week?).
BTW, the "2008 dub" of DBGT is not a whole new dub. It's the 2004 dub of the show with the original music and English versions of the Japanese themes. That's it. No new voices were recorded for it. But I suppose I see where you're coming from. I'm sure they'd air the FUNi dub of One Piece though for consistency with the rest of the series. Like with DBZ Kai though (and Toonami with DB, DBZ, DBGT, Tenchi, YYH, Naruto, many others), a few profane lines here and there might be re-recorded. Nicktoons is probably running the Toonami version of DBGT because that's the only edited version available. |

Adult Swim isn't part of Cartoon Network, they function as separate channels. Toonami will never be back on Cartoon Network, CN cancelled it. Naruto was still pulling in some of CN's best ratings when they killed Toonami, its not a matter of anime doing well on the channel its just that CN does not want it. |

Of course it is part of Cartoon Network. It airs in the evening on the same physical place as Cartoon Network and we have seen them share properties (Toonami, Symbionic Titan, Thundercats, etc.). Just because there are different people in charge of programming does not mean Cartoon Network doesn't 100% own Adult Swim. CN can take back Toonami any time they feel it is in the interest of the company. They can add or reduce hours from Adult Swim any time they want. A few years back there was talk of Adult Swim actually being broken off to it's own channel and running 24 hours, and even then it would still be owned by Cartoon Network. |

Actually, it's a 12-6 AM block. Has been since October. And 1 AM is not a horrible timeslot for something like this. Bleach once broke ratings records (for 2009) in that timeslot! |

So I guess anime can't expand on that CN/AS channel any further than their Saturday night/Sunday morning constraints. AS won't give up their Sunday night or likely any of the weekdays, why would they when all of their other shows still bring in ratings? Guess the Toonami block is just a consolation.

CN doesn't own Adult Swim. Turner owns both of them. TNT can technically air anything from CN too, but they don't. Cartoon Network could bring back Toonami. But they won't. |
