Fox Box will be our downfall. The have now added Tokyo Mew Mew to their lineup, along with the much mourned One Piece. I don't know who the dubber is, but as long as it isn't 4Kids or FUNi, we might be okay...

4Kids edited One Piece.

I meant I don't know who dubbed Tokyo Mew Mew.

4Kids picked up Tokyo Mew Mew several months ago. They originally changed the name (I can hear you all screaming now) to Hollywood Mew Mew. Evidently, the outcry was so great they have since changed the name back to Tokyo Mew Mew. As to the editing of One Piece, it's too early to see exactly what they have done yet as is the case of Tokyo Mew Mew. You may be surprised. As for Funi's dubbing, they have done excellent work in their past few releases. I'm beginning to repeat myself with these threads defending the companies. I'm going to be quiet now.

HOLLYWOOD Mew Mew?!?!??!?!?!!!!!!!!

Good thing they left it alone!!!!! Title sounds...gross.. Sounds like something one would want to avoid...o_0;

LOL, yeah there was a topic about it a while back... its great to hear they changed their minds... bleh. x_x

I know, that (Hollywood Mew Mew) sounds like some kind of uncreative hentai title....

Why is everyone always bashing Funimation? I was told they did a really top notch job with Furuba which is one of their most recent titles. Yeah, yeah, I know you can go back to past titles. . . but comeon folks-- let go!

Yeah, I rather liked the job on Furuba, though admittedly some of Funi's other earlier projects were...um...less than up to what I would consider a good dub.

Problem is, if it's for FoxBox, it's guaranteed to be edited in some way or another.

i dont keep up with all this stuff, only that animes are licenced so i cant get anymore of ______(anime) from my friend.

Funimation got Furuba? I didn't know that...hm...what is so bad about some of their other dubs? I don't much like the art in Furuba (anime), but they didn't have anything to do with it...how can Furuba's dub be compared to others they've done?

I heard that they changed the name back to Tokyo Mew Mew.. due to the total oddness of the other name. As for the One Piece... I just hope that Funimation releases some uncut subbed DVDs like they did for DBZ. (Funimation does DVDs for 4kids)

So when is Mew Mew being released???? I know its prob gonna be weirdly dubbed, ut at least well get to see it in more than manga
WHENS IT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????

According to the recent 4kids press release, Tokyo Mew Mew will air on the FoxBox this fall.

As for One Piece, the show is rather violent. Many of the characters have tragic, violent backstories and so forth, not to mention one major character who is a heavy smoker(I can just see the surgeon general have a heart attack...) and a lot of underage drinking(...come this fall...Luffy and company will probably be drinking root beer...courtesy of 4kids). Actually, the outcry over the licensing of this title would probably be much greater if uncut Yugioh and Shaman King dvds had not been recently announced via Funimation and slated for a fall release giving all of the One Piece fans hope for a potential uncut release of this. I think that that is a decent possibility assuming that the aforementioned dvds are both done right and they sell well. That shall remain to be seen. Personally, I'm trying to remain optimistic, even with 4kids' reputation for butchered dubs...

As for Funimation, the reason people seen to bash them is because of their early work on DBZ. I've rarely heard complaints about their other dubs(aside from DBGT, and not counting a few minor things like the Detective Conan/Case Closed name changes).
