Exactly. I feel the same way. Dragon ball had a great start, but petered out around the Z mark at points for me. One Piece has a great balance of Comedy and action all through... well... as long as I've seen, anyway. I've only seen bits and pieces since the saga they abruptly ended, and the bloody manga comes out 2 chapters a month in that magazine. So it'll be AGES before we get even close.

I really hated how 4Kids cut several episodes out. The skipped over that "Little Garden" thing. BTW, who else thinks Number 3 would have the same voice as Baxter Stockman?

As for faithfulness to the manga...well.. I feel it is fairly faithful... at least much more than Sailor Moon. Now that one they trashed.

what! this sucks monkey balls, One peice was awesome, they need to bring back Shamen King too.

Shamen King was probably 4Kid's best dub, and in all honesty for me, both the anime and the original manga are far superior to all of that elongated s*it that gets all of the attention by Funimation. It's theme song is the best US theme for any import since the early days of Pokemon
