Btw, I heard that One Piece has SEVEN movies out already in Japan is this actually true? Oh and is the anime/manga still continuing over there? I'm completely clueless about this .

Yes, the anime and manga are still going. If the manga is still going, the anime definitely would be, except in a few exceptions.

Actually, there are SIX movies. The sixth one came out in theaters in March. They really went all out for advertising it. I'll see if I can find the pics of all the skyscrapers plastered with GIANT character images. XD
The manga is currently at chapter 362. The anime follows it very closely and is at episode 228. One Piece is currently very big in Japan, so I don't expect it to end anytime soon.
I missed today's dub episode. I don't feel I missed much. XD I need to see next week though so I can see how much they screw up the really emotional scene where Sanji leaves Baratie.

Well if Moo can f**k up Sanji's scene with Nami, just imagine what he'll do in the next episode.

Well, this thread is doing about as well as the show is!! XD
I'm still watching the dub, but I see no future for One Piece in it's current state. 4kids would do well to sell it to company that can do the series justice.

XD I'm still watching the dub, but I see no future for One Piece in it's current state. 4kids would do well to sell it to company that can do the series justice. A little bit off topic but...Is'nt that what happened to Escaflowne? I don't know the company that took it, But it was on Fox ever so breifly. Well, whoever got it ended up ruining the show and only about 10 episodes were ever shown on TV because of the horrid ratings. From there, was it not sold to some other company who did DVDs the series? Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probobaly am... But still, Jr.'s right 4kids needs to lose One Piece and soon. I still have nightmares involving Sanji's voice and ::snrgg:: :gh:..P-P-poison suction cups (*shudders*)

The poison suction cups wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't pointed like darts when they showed them traveling through the air.
Oh I get it. They opened into suction cups upon impact right? Krieg has the most advanced suction cup technology!
I remember Escaflowne. I didn't catch the series when it was on Fox and I have not seen the series at all, but at least that company was respectful enough to not kill us with it's crap!!
(2000 posts!! Man, am I sad or what?)

I don't know the story behind Escaflowne on fox, but I remember hearing something about it, similar to what you said. It appeared briefly very chopped up, but I know that it has been rel-released and redubbed more properly since then.
The suction cups...come on, it's stupid. How do suction cups inject poison? And if they don't take effect immediately ("hey chore boy, better pull off those suction cups before they take effect!") what good are they, if they can just be pulled off?! XD

Bandai owned Escaflowne from the start. They had the whole series dubbed (by Ocean), and then they handed it over to fox to show on t.v. Basically leaving it to Fox Kids to edit from there as they pleased. Fox did so, and the result was... interesting. But not quite as bad as many fans will have you belive. The "Interesting" is that even though they kept the original music tracks, they... moved them to different places in the show 0_o. And then added some additional music that they had created themselves. They also cut scenes that kind of didn't need to be cut. started at the second episode, etc.... The thing is, the story still came through pretty clear and it was still interesting. Well... to a more adult audience anyways. My belief about why it didn't do well in the ratings is because the whole thing probably flew over kids heads. Anyhoo, more about this here. Heeeee... I like Escaflowne, and I even saw it on Fox back in the day (I own the dvd's now, of course.)

Ah, so that's the story. That's wierd, I can't even imagine why Fox wanted to try and show Escaflowne to little kids. :/ Speaking of original music, if anyone would like to hear a sample of the great music that 4Kids was too cheap to purchase the license for, click here: s16.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WIK8S0QA6UTP0BP91N09JKFEY(if the link expires, I can put it back) This piece was used on a few occasions, but most memorably a very cool scene in which Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp march together to go find Arlong and kick his ass. ;D

Ah, that's so good, why must 4kids be so crappy? Although I'm not entirely sure, with the cuts they make in One Piece, it wouldn't be surprising that the background music is cut! Considering that it wouldn't fit into the scenes properly anymore.
