What is one piece 4kids?

One Piece 4kids was a North American adaptation of the popular anime and manga series One Piece. It was created by the media company 4Kids Entertainment and aired on the Fox Network's Saturday morning cartoon block from September 2004 to March 2006.

The One Piece 4kids adaptation faced controversy for its heavy censorship, which included altering character designs and removing any instances of blood, death, and suggestive content. The voice acting and script also received criticism for being overly cheesy and childish.

Despite its flaws, One Piece 4kids still introduced the series to a young Western audience and helped it gain popularity outside of Japan. However, it was eventually cancelled due to low ratings and negative reception.

In 2007, Funimation acquired the rights to distribute the original Japanese version of One Piece in North America, and since then, it has remained one of the most successful and popular anime franchises in the world.
