One Piece dropped from Fox!

[ACE2001]

Well, I'm somewhat suprised by this news:

According to the 4K!ds website, Fox Net, and local Fox listings 4Kids TV is dropping Mew Mew Power and One Piece beginning this Saturday.

Currently we have no information regarding if/when these shows will return to 4Kids TV.

I wonder what warranted this change though?

More than likely low ratings more than anything else.

I'm surprised, I think they could have butchered it more.

[Wolfpac]

Does this mean that a proper anime company can get the rights to it and actually release it Un-cut?... Fingers crossed.

More than likely low ratings more than anything else.
Really? Was it doing poorly rating wise? I'd of thought it would of been quite a popular series among the younger audience.

Well, It turns out that One Piece isn't being canceled:

4Kids has informed ICv2 that One Piece and Tokyo Mew Mew have not been cancelled on 4KidsTV. The programs were temporarily removed as part of a mid-season schedule adjustment and are expected to return to the schedule later although 4Kids did not say when.

Well, can't say I'm happy or sad with this bit of news. :confused:
