It's like a fucking dream come true. I may finally be able to watch OP dubbed and not have it make me want to die.
But I'll still probably do what Assertn said and just do what I'm doing now.

Only 4-kids can take a universally successful long running intellectual property and run it into the ground.
This amuses me to no end, seeing as how one piece is one of the most infamously butchered animes around.
It's amazing for something so marketable and so profitable to fail so badly. I'm guessing that they decided to drop it because they just weren't getting any of the same ratings as other successful anime properties.
I mean the naruto dub isn't perfect but I do give VIZ credit for doing a fairly decent job (especially keeping all the music intact) and that seems to be doing pretty well seeing as cartoon network seems to be playing it nonestop (they had three or four marathons that featured the famous rock lee garra fight).
Failure on this scale is right up there with the PS3 launch. LIke shooting yourself in both legs then swaggering in.
Yes 4Kids are the screwups of the century. OP is arguably more (or at least equally) as popular in Japan as Dragonball was and yet it gets effectively canceled in the US. I thought FUNimation's butchering job was bad but it obviously can't compare to the hack and slash that 4Kids did on OP.
Congratulations, 4Kids! You are morons...
FINALLY.
The 4Kids version is what made me not watch One Piece for a while.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.
