FUNimation licenses One Piece!

Did I mention that One Piece's creator (Eiichiro Oda) approved the new English cast?

Well, now that CN will be airing a Naruto marathon (the first 100 episodes) August 16-18 it doesn't look like the new dub will get a chance to air.

The Japanese anime producers approved the old 4KIDS dub cast as well FYI.

*Shudder*

Yeah, well, that's TOEI we're talking about. They don't give a crap about North America. And at least Oda approved this cast as well, not to mention Christopher Bevins (one of the five ADR directors) said that they nearly had their Franky cast (even though Franky won't show up for about...four more story arcs)...
