They're not doing the One Piece broadcast dub. That idea was officially canned. They were on the fence to begin with and fan input boiled down to it sounding like a good idea on paper, but the reality of it being a nightmare and a half and way too taxing on everyone involved, especially the LA people in the cast. Well, Brina's been able to pull it off, but there's a reason we haven't seen Patrick Seitz in any broadcast dubs. If it did get a broadcast dub, the cast might have to change, and that alone would guarantee its demise. Same for Fairy Tail. The High School DxD broadcast dub opened to negative reviews for that very reason (before we all learned Scott Freeman would be doing 3 years in the Texas pen for child porn). Broadcast dubs only work for shows that they're already caught up on, like DxD and all the other great broadcast dubs they've done. I was one of the people who spoke out against the broadcast dubs of One Piece and Fairy Tail for the reasons listed above. They can work, but they have to be handled delicately.
