What is the fate of the rest of the seasins of One piece? I heard that all of Case Closed will be done but what of this long lasting series?

I assume it will continue airing on Japanese TV like normal.
If, on the other hand, you are curious about the Funimation license of it, you want the US BD/DVD forum, not General Anime Discussions.VIVIDBLUE OPERATION!

It's wait and see. Just wait until after the summer cons (AX, Otakon,...). One way or another we may get a answer. Until then, it's all speculation.Comment

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
While Funi has shut the door on Case Closed, One Piece is more of a wait-and-see at this point. Right now, One Piece is not a high priority for them.Last edited by Buckeye; 06-16-2011, 01:51 PM.MyAnimeList | Avatar: Ena Ibarada, Science Fell in Love So I Tried to Prove It

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
I don't see Funi not picking up the rest of the series given that the sales have been pretty good. Plus, they have a great dub going (dare I say better at times?) and the last thing we need is a company like Sentai Filmworks picking it up and jacking around with that. It is a long series, but I'm quite certain they knew the risk well before they licensed it. However, they just need to keep it coming, especially since in the last 3 weeks, I have watched 137 episodes, so I will be done by the end of the month and will need more to watch.
Oh, and I want to hear more Patrick Seitz as Franky goodness.

Where do you get it's not a high priority? There is also the 10 ton elephant: Toei.Originally posted by Buckeye View PostComment

They are in negotiations for one piece season 4+ and for the movies. I think it will happen. Toei just needs to stop being so dang picky and just do the deal.Comment

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
Yeah, I think it'll happen. Show your support, pick up the new season sets or buy the other sets. Not to mention Toei has a particular license or two that Funimation would love to release. Establishing a good working relationship is integral to having the death grip on said license loosened.... *cough*Sailor Moon *cough*Watching: Fate/Zero, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, Ozuma, Sekirei

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
Already own everything Funi has released, so I cannot show anymore support for it. Hell, I even own the Alabasta movie on both DVD and BD.Comment

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
I know it's considered bad form to resurrect a thread this old, but it's exactly the topic I wanted, and I couldn't find the info elsewhere... Was there any news regarding One Piece anime during the summer convention season? I don't recall any, but I may have overlooked it...
I (finally!) got caught up on my One Piece backlog, and now want more -- only there isn't any. Even if I switched to streaming (which I would very much rather not do), it looks like they jump from Ep 205 into the 300's, going by ANN's list. Fingers crossed that Funi is able to coax Toei into giving them more One Piece (and that Funi is still interested in it....)

Re: Fate of the rest of One Piece?
I noticed that in Japan, they've been releasing box sets that are just now reaching ep 206 (well, hit 206 in Aug, next batch through ep 247 in Dec, 263 in Jan). So maybe (you never know) they could have been holding Funimation off until they get box sets out, to reduce reverse importation. Pure wishful thinking on my part, of course...
Interestingly, according to CD Japan, these sets are only available through May 2013. That might be a far bound for when Funi might be more likely to get more eps...
