One Piece as it was intended

Australia’s premier anime distributor Madman Ent. have come to the rescue of the hordes of disgruntled One Piece fans by announcing their plans to release Region 4 DVDs of the popular pirate anime uncut and bilingual (original Japanese language with subs as well as an uncut English dub).

One Piece is one of the most popular anime series showing on Japanese TV right now, however, since 4Kids licensed the show and premiered it on US TV, fans have complained that it has been severely edited to the point where whole episodes are being merged together and storylines changed. The 4Kids version of One Piece is coming to UK TV (Toonami) in April.
