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).
