ONE PIECE news

There was once an excellent anime.
One day the evil U.S. company, 4kids, bought the distributing license.
Tragically this evil empire of production warped and mutated the show into some offensively awful, desecrating all that was holy to fans of the Grande Line.
The evil offspring was then terminated and would remain so as long as they held the license.
But, one day a hero emerged and won the license away!!!!

Funimation has taken over the U.S. ONE PIECE series. I was so exciting when I began reading the news. Then my excitement diminished a little, but all in all it's better then nothing.
Funimation is going to pick up the series for TV where 4kids left off. BUT, they will be doing it totally different, new voice, less edits, original score.
So it's not so bad BUT........there's still NO smoking, drinking or major blood violence- That PISSED me off, they're fucking pirates!
If your not going to do it RIGHT then DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!!!!
But then they saved grace a little....The TV series will be better but still have to be edited while the DVD's they'll be releasing will be the Original AND they WILL start from the beginning of the series. yipee!
I know no one else on my friends list cares about this but someone somewhere does
