User blog comment:Joekido/My Earliest thoughts on One Piece/@comment-53539-20140108201508

Back in 2002, I watched every anime on TV on Nick Toons, Fox Kids (by then renamed to somethng else) and Toonami.

One Piece came onto Toonami, and at the time I had been doing comparisons between Digimon original Japanese and dubbed version... And when I watched One Piece I was interested... but felt something was "up" aka "missing".

So I watched a fan sub.... At some point I became a big fan.

4Kids caused me to become a fan of One Piece... Which has also seem so bizarre to me since I watched its version and somehow "knew" it was utter crap... So I've always had this weird mixed feeling about that dub...
