I have seen one episode of the anime "one piece" and allready thinks its funny. The rubber guy seems to dress like gilligan Smile i was wondering who will probably license it? i dont believe it has been yet and what channel it will be on.
I think it would fit fine on maybe CN's Toonami or ABCFamily

From what's been floating around, FUNimation formally owns the rights to it, but somewhat retracted their statements on it. They've actually dubbed a pilot episode, from what I hear, even. Heck, one of their employees at Otakon was dressed up as Luffy!

So they've got it... but something's preventing them from fully, further announcing it.

FUNimation has also made public comments saying their goal is to get every single one of their properties on television. Looking at their past relationship with Cartoon Network, it's not far-fetched to expect "One Piece" to show up on Toonami in the coming years.
