Thread: Funi TV Discussion (Premieres At Episode 207, May 18 1:00 a.m., USA Toonami)

    Just because a show keeps getting reruns doesn't mean theyre not going to acquire a new one, gt was picked up after Kai ended so hopefully they try to find a replacement for gt.

    Also they have been doing a new episode a day for the super android 13 arc..I think they'll then go back to two day premieres next week.

    They could do premiers like with dbz, Wednesdays and thursdays.. Maybe even 2 for each day for a while.
    Nicktoons surely is well aware of "One Piece" by now, I don't see why they wouldn't be.

    Also yeah Nicktoons will definitely keep rerunning their "Dragonball" series, but for any channel to keep growing they'll have to acquire more new shows over time to bring in bigger ratings. The only new show they have coming up in the future is "Huntik", but they announced it very quietly, which to me means they don't expect much from it. Who knows what show(s) Nicktoons might be looking at right now to bring home the bacon next year, if at all. Hopefully "One Piece" is up for consideration at this point.

    Personally, I think the best course of action is to Twitter bomb the Twitter accounts of any network that has either aired anime in the past or shows signs of wanting to air anime with the #GivePieceAChance Hashtag and including a One Piece 101 video.

    Yeah people are just twitter bombing Toonami, but honestly anything is fair game I think. Nick and Hub have a twitter.

    Man, I remember the days when if you wanted a certain anime a air, you had to buy stores out of their branded Pop-Tarts. I had a sister who wanted Sailor Moon to air so bad in the 90's and talked my folks into helping her with the buy-cott. To this day I'm sick to death of Strawberry Pop-Tarts. This seems much easier...and cheaper.

    Here's a list of the networks that would have any interest in One Piece at this point:

    Nicktoons Network: Has the best shot at airing OP because they've aired Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball GT, both Funimation titles just like One Piece. They've also aired a few Dragon Ball Z Specials and Movies too, so add that to the list. The series would more than likely need to be edited to TV - Y7 standards, which mean no blood, no cigarettes, "flash" punches, much like Toonami version back in '07. They could air weekday premieres which would be a plus.

    Adult Swim's Toonami: Has a fair shot as the marketing director of the network, Jason Demarco, has recently stated on his Twitter that they are looking at possibly airing a new long-running anime title in the future. More than likely the series would be 100% uncut, but have shortened opening/endings. A downside is that only 1-2 new epsiodes could premiere a week since there is limited room for Action shows on the network.

    The Vortexx (on the CW): Since the block is changing hands from 4kids to Saban, the block is currently looking at new programming at this point. However, it's extremely unlikely One Piece would air due to the amount of edits the CW would require Funimation to do.

    The Hub: They've only aired one real anime show so far since its launch two years ago, Deltora Quest. They do have a couple anime-esque shows like Kaijudo and Transformers, but that's about it. Unless they're willing to experiment with some more anime in the future, I'd say its pretty unlikely One Piece will air here. However the show could be rated TV-PG if it did air there, because several of there Prime Time shows have this rating.

    So I think these four channels are our best bet for airing One Piece at this point. If we're going to do any "Twitter bombing" I'd say you should do it at one of these four channel's accounts.

    About nicktoons edits: I've noticed that the movies and gt have shown blood and more violence so nicktoons may be more lenient with the edits now then when Kai first aired. Just watched the episode of gt where super android 17 was kicking vegeta's ass and unless vegeta had blood gushing out of his mouth they kept it intact.. So that's a plus.

    Interesting.... I really hope nicktoons gets one piece.

    I'm sure Nicktoons could have the best anime standards around (e.g. just show the toonami version of Gt and the DBZ movies) but with the Kai dub, Funimation made some strong precautionary edits in the last half of it for the CW 4kids Toonzai block..

    Something worth mentioning...

    It seems that CW may be allowing for stronger content on their CW kids block, with the launch of Vortexx. The WWE show that will be airing on it will be rated TV-PG (probably with a violence note), rather than TV-Y7, like everything else. While I wouldn't quite say anything just yet, but it might allow for some stronger action kids programming on the block. So, provided how far this goes, One Piece could potentially air on this block, as well as opening up other anime acquisitions with less edits. Though, that depends whether or not Saban is looking into other anime...

    Personally, I'm hoping it won't air on Nicktoons or The Hub, since I don't have access to either of those channels.

    Anyways, One Piece airing on Adult Swim's Toonami would be for the best, of course.

    One Piece becoming more and more popular it'd make sense for Nick to pick it up.
    Adult Swim is slowly fading into nothing, I don't want it on that thing now. Nick is getting better at showing blood these days as some one said, maybe it can air on Nick like Dragon Ball does that way None NickToons owners can watch it too.
    Luffy fan.
    LuffyxHancock or LuffyxNami? I can't decide.

    Yeah, Nick, The Hub and The Vortexx are our only hope.

    Fading? Actually the new Toonami block has preformed much better than the anime programming proceeding it. Also, Jason DeMarco, spearheading the new block, said that they are currently looking for another long running series (presumably to replace Bleach). So I wouldn't rule out Adult Swim yet.

    Also, OP on Vortexx isn't since a pipe dream after all anymore, since we know that TV-PG stuff is going to be on the block.

    But I digress, Nicktoons would probablly be the best way to go, since we would get daily airings and there would be less restrictions on editing there

    Unfortunately, [AS] caters to the kinda crowd who want cool/dark shit like Bleach and Death Note. People think One Piece is too childish to give it a chance. We've got our best shot with Nick it seems.

    Yup.

    But do take note that Death Note Flopped.

    Plenty of people who watch "One Piece" are 18 and up. "One Piece" would probably do fine.

    Also they aired "Kekkaishi".

    And again, Death Note flopped. So One Piece may have a chance there.

    And DeMarco loves One Piece, and said he would love to see it back on Cartoon Network.
