One Piece in Indonesia

Anime
In Indonesia, There are two TV stations that held license for One Piece. The first was RCTI, who broadcasted the anime from the beginning until the Jaya arc. The second was Global TV, that broadcasted the anime from the beginning (re-broadcast) until the Jaya arc and then continued until beginning of Thriller Bark Arc (Brook's first appearance). This dual licenses are posible due to both stations are owned by a same group which is MNC Group. The anime seems rushed after the Jaya arc because Global TV broadcasted the anime twice from Monday to Friday which means ten episodes per week. And Global TV has broadcasted One Piece' movie, such as One Piece Movie Spring 2000, One Piece : Mecha Soldiers, and One Piece : Baron Omatsuri. In the middle of 2008, the series was criticized by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), who accused the series of being too violent. Although these accusations never harmed the series, the series was later stopped due to Global TV ran out of episode stock at that time. The series later returned to Global TV from september 2010 from the beginning with Global TV showing very rushly, but unfortunately, later the series was stopped again. And Global TV broadcasted series again until March 2011. It is still unknown whether the series will be back again or not due to the dubbed process of the anime were actually stopped from 2008 due to the closing of Yori Yoga Argayoen Studio who dubbed the anime.
