This isnt true, the Shaman King anime is made BY XEBEC not Toei.


The ''One Piece'' anime has suffered terrible bad luck trying to be (properly) accessible in the English-speaking world. Much to the outrage of fans of the series, [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids Entertainment]] picked up the rights to the show in the U.S. and {{Bowdlerised}} it to an absolutely horrific extent, even compared to their [[{{Pokemon}} usual]] [[YuGiOh output]]. Worse, they didn't even care, in the very literal sense of the term; 4Kids only acquired the series at all because Toei Animation required them to license it in order to obtain [[ShamanKing another show that 4Kids wanted]]. They did not even bother to watch the show before licensing it to find out that it was wholly inappropriate for the kiddy audience 4Kids markets to, not to mention US broadcast standards (which ''really'' frowns on blood & death in a kids show). Entire arcs and characters were removed, almost all the violence was toned down to pathetic levels, and guns were either laughably passed off as "water pistols" or crudely redrawn into things like slingshots or weird [[BuffySpeak shower-head/hammer things]]. 4Kids' handling of ''One Piece'' damaged their already-poor reputation almost beyond repair, and very nearly torpedoed the franchise's chances of ever succeeding in the English-speaking world. After 142—edited down to 104—episodes (corresponding to the end of the Alabasta Arc), 4Kids' contract was quietly terminated in early 2007.

The big gimmick to the show is that many characters, including Luffy, have consumed a "Devil Fruit". Devil Fruits grant the sole consumer incredible powers, at the cost of the consumer losing the ability to swim. Luffy, for example, has eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi (translated as the Gum Gum Fruit), turning him into a RubberMan that is capable of stretching his body like elastic. The powers granted by the other Devil Fruits are a varied bunch, from producing natural soap to transforming into a giraffe-human hybrid, to becoming a being made of living ice.

There have been a vast-number of story arcs, not including anime filler.
