4Kids cancels One Piece dub

Well, the situations aren't exactly the same. The rest of One Piece doesn't involve transvestites, and I think there was some sort of legal mess in Japan recently with Sailor Moon that I was never able to get straight.
But, although it's really too early to tell exactly what will happen, it is a possibility that 4kids and/or Toei will sit on the license for years...although I don't want to admit it.

Viz should totally take over on the license.

If Toei does make a good decision for once and allow someone else to license it, Viz is the most likely candidate given that they seem to have first choice over Shonen Jump titles nowadays. They would probably have Studiopolis do the dubbing like they did Naruto and Bleach.

Funimation is another good candidate for it however. Supposedly, at one time, they practically had the One Piece license.

I really hope Viz doesn't get it. I'd hate to see Toonami completely dominated by Viz shows. I'm pulling for Funimation this time, they're pretty good (better than Viz at least; not that Viz is bad, but Funimation is better).

I just like to see something on at the 10 oclock hour that could easily segue into
the AS segment on Saturday night.The problem with One Piece was that it was hard to segue from it into AS.
