First, it's a bad joke. Second, Funimation saved the license, something all the fans of the show who actually care about the people making it should be happy about (nothing says you care like helping to keep the creators financially stable.) Third, this has to do with the network far more than the dubbing studio. Cartoon Network has a habit of not rerunning One Piece and of failing to properly explain what a series' status actually is. Most likely, when there are more episodes ready to go, they'll run them. If they've decided not to, it's likely because the ratings are still low, which would be the fans' fault. Fourth, the reason why they ran out of Skypiea episodes so quickly is because Funimation is doing what the fans asked and releasing the early episodes first. Way to say thank you.

I have a question for you, Richard J. Did you notice what his user name is?  
You made excellent points, but I had to point that out.

Exately said, though i wouldn't say the series was saved.It was ruined from the start thanks to those fansubs and ilegal downloads.Sure the 4kids dubs gives some blame for the US low down but i liked them.Even got the're versions on DVD for my baby cousin cause he liked it though His mother complianed that the new ones were too violent now.I also heard some rumors that the series got blocked by some homes cause parents complained of the increase of violence and that blackbeard saying "crap" on epsiode 107-108. I wouldn't be susprised that the parental advocate watchdog put a spoof of them or the death note series on their TVboss.org commercials. so in my view it's kinda better off that the series should stay like with case closed and remain as a DVD only feature.Because of fansubbers and complains on 4kids messing up the series,it may be too late to save it for TV vewiers |

Okay for starters, it just ticks me off that they went and got rid of one of the best (if not the best) anime ever. All of its' replacements so far, have been absolutely horrible and low in ratings. Bakugan is just a cheap immitiation of Yu-Gi-Oh GX. And Blue Dragon, was basicaly the creator's first piece of work with younger characters and a speedier story line. Naruto does not deserve two or three time slots. It's story line has gone completely down hill and the fillers are not even worth watching. The story of Naruto repeats it's self over and over again(leave the village-go on a mission-save a friend-learn a lesson) while One Piece just gets better and better and the fillers and movies are absolutely amazing. It's cancelation is dissapointing to say in the least. From what I have watched of the Funimation dubs on youtube, it's far more violent than Naruto and has explict language. It could atleast be put on Adult Swim, to save Cartoonnetwork from canceling it again or replacing it with cheap immitation anime. But then again, Adult Swim constantly cancels and moves around it's anime for their ridiculous comedy shows. (Guess we'll all buy the dvds then)
