No.
They've done Yu-Gi-Oh! for a long time now and it's killings right and left, swearing, sexual stuff, etc.
And in the Memory Arc, a LOT of people die. So they just can't drop something unless the ratings are very very bad.

Darn my job. I didn't get in until the second page. *weep* Ah well, I think you all know my feelings about this.... If 4kids decides not to air/dub the last episodes then..... HAPPY DAY! Less work for me *celebrates*. And yeah, the death count and implied imagery gets pretty crazy at the end. (And the best insert song in the series is even used in the last episode. Only time it's played too.) It's BECAUSE of the last episodes that the Shaman King fan community of old was freaking out when they heard the series got liscenced by 4kids. This isn't so much my laziness talking by the way, I'm really tired out! (kind of looks like their won't be an epi 51 comparison though *cry*.) O.k, this next part is kind of (and then REALLY) off topic, so ignore it if you wish. Actually, I recomend you ignore it. Heh. And I thought you guys hated the Shaman King dub, anyway. You would think, but a lot of people here really love it *laughs*. Me? I think the dub is hit or miss. Some episodes are brilliant, the dub handles Chocolove EXTREMELY well, and they did a good job on some of the filler (especially concerning the Lilly5, where I think the dub occasionally did a BETTER job with that groups humor.) Random episodes here and there are great too. HOWEVER, there is still the "miss". A show about "death" and religion where you can't SAY "death" and "religion". Yeah.... (overexagerating joke) Kind of like this board! (/end bad joke) Not to mention that characterisation in general is REALLY a hit or miss thing. (sometimes Yoh is properly laid back, sometimes he's made into a jerk. This was more common in the begining of the series. But lets not forget that Pino episode *shivers*.) That said.... I think the writing for the "good" episodes is really, REALLY great, so I'll give the dub that. That, and a lot of the dub actors have been doing really, REALLY well lately. It took a long time, but they finally got in to the groove of their parts.

I said, "on US TV". Cardcaptors was NOT abandonded in the U.S. It FINISHED. There are 70 episodes in CCS and only 39 episodes were aired in the U.S., but the series did reach the end.

Don't you think that maybe the reason why the episodes are going into reruns so much is because they might want to have the series finish airing in the U.S. first? Not really. The US was the second country in the world to get Sonic X, the first English-speaking country to get it. Now, they were one of (if not the very last) last countries to finish it, whereas the UK finished the series in arund 9 months. The UK is getting ahead of the US in a lot of shows now, so I doubt that is the reason.

And as I said, the show finished airing "on U.S. TV." Kid's WB aired the first 17 American episodes of CC, then they showed some reruns on CN temporarily as part of that trading shows thing they were doing with the Kid's WB for a little bit, then it returned to Kid's WB and they aired the series until the end. They skipped/combined dozens of episodes, then combined the last couple of episodes, and inserted tons of flashbacks to make up for loss time because they cut out all the S x S romance stuff that was in the original. It's not like CCS is 200 episodes long or something. Sorry for going off-topic again, everyone....

I don't have access to original episodes. If the dub dies, well then SK goes with it for me. I can't belive I'm saying this, but I hope 4kids can make it through.

As said earlier, One Piece is the possibility for cancellation. Don't know how long it's staying on Fox/4crap/whatever, but it's transfering to Cartoon Network's Toonami block on April 23rd.

Is mankin EVER gonna be on CN? @__@;; It's been on before. I don't see why they won't play more next season, after it's finished it's 4crap run.

I hope that they show it on CN soon because they show almost all the other 4kids shows on there and other shows too.Ratings have got to be in the red for OP to be on CN already.Usally they put a show on CN if they have been playing reruns or if a new season is starting and then they put it on.I feel very,very sorry for the person who writes the comparsions for OPU.
Anyway,it would be nice to see them show all of SK put if 4kids drops it then lets hope somebody else picks it up and contiunes where they left off and do a better job of dubbing it and that they show them on CN because I missed a lot of them .TT_TT

And don't forget that France got the new series before ANYONE, including Japan. If Shaman King ended early in America... I wouldn't care. God made fansubs for a reason, after all ;D

I doubt that they would take it off now, but if they do, I will go to their offices and the only thing that will be there after I am done is the smell of death.
