Well I've seen One Piece at last and I have to say that Scott at VG Cats got it dead on. If you liked the english version of DBZ then chances are you'll like this but if you've even touched upon the japanese original then stay well away. 4Kids don't screw up every anime they touch.....ah who am I kidding. 4Kids Entertainment screw up every single anime they get their hands on due to extremely bad marketing. This is the UK, if a show is too violent out the blocks then put it in a later timeslot (The Big O is doing well in its 8:30pm slot I've heard) but for god sake don't water it down to make it more appealing to little kids. The original One Piece is extremely funny and a superb anime, the 4Kids version is appaling and doesn't do the series justice. Hunt down the manga instead, I think Viz are publishing it in the UK.
FYI
4Kids' bad marketing team let the awesome series Cubix go down the pan.
