That's right. 4Kids, the folks you kindly remember disemboweling the One Piece series...and really anything else they get, has bought the rights to the Black Jack anime. And guess what?
They are promoting it for ages 7-12.
Yep. All episodes are probably going to have about 10 minutes cut from each one, and some episodes merged together to make up for all the scenes of his medical practice being completely removed.
So, grab your hankies, kids. The series starts showing on the American tube summer 2012.
Also, Richard Ian Cox is voicing Black Jack himself. You know, they guy who does InuYasha's voice? Yeah.....
If by now you have yet to realize this is an April Fool's joke, then this is an April Fool's Joke.

Lolololol.
There's no way they would buy the rights anyway. Black Jack is almost impossible to censor.
...That said, they should have never boughten One Piece. There's no way they would have been able to censor the entire series' later episodes.

Yeha Impel Down and Marineford that's where it goes crazy not to mention the deaths of ACE and Whitebeard would have been imposibble to censor for 4kids.
But yeha they cut also out hole islands like Little Garden so it woudn't have suprised me if they even found some retard way to work around it.
