The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Shoot me now, 4Kids entertainment licensed the One Piece anime.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>As long as no one is botching Naruto I don't care.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>4Kids is trying to get the license for Naruto, I pray they don't succeed.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>I did just hear tho that Funimation has secondary licenced Shaman King and YuGiOh to bring out uncut DVD's of em....so at least there is a plus side for some of their other butcherys.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I'll destroy them if they do</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Ugh, even worse, it's not gonna be on Cartoon Network's Toonami, it's gonna be on Saturday Morning FoxBox! I think I'm gonna hurl.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Are...you...fucking...kidding me? Well, there goes a great show. Better stock up on the fansubs now</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Actually, do you have a source on that info, because I'm not finding it anywhere.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '><b>Link:</b> <a href="http://www.4kidsentertainmentinc.com/do ... 608.pdf</a>

It's in .pdf format</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Ohh, you're talking about OnePiece. I thought you meant Naruto was gonna be on the FoxBox. Whew! What is OnePiece about anyway?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Sanji, the ship's cook no longer smokes, he now sucks a lollipop...
Camptain Smoker, who's devil fruit power is controling the smoke he smokes from his cigar, no uses cloud power, and bites a toothpick.
Devil's fruit(Fruit which gives people super human abilities) is now called power fruit.
Blood will be eliminated.
The main character's names will all likely be changed.
Nami's stepmother who was murdered will now just be knocked out and taken away, which will be her reason for joining the crew, to find her money, instead of just being greedy and wanting money like her character really is.

Oh the horror. I pray that they butcher it so badly, nobody likes it and then another company picks it up and gives it some class, like FUNImation did with Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>That sounds pretty absurd.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, by far the largest market for anime is children, it wouldn't be very profitable to target the adult market with it, so they fix it so it is suitable for children by PTC and other such standards.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah dude, but at least if it's on Adult Swim or Toonami, it retains some of what made it great, when you completely make a semi-mature anime totally for kids you ruin it.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I agree, but if the companies want to market it for the big bucks, this is way to maximize their profits and viewership.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>That's probably true, but I think this is more just a case of one network outbidding the others for a license. The fact that it's a kid's programming network is more or less incidental.</div>
