One Piece is a children's anime in Japan. Here I go thinking the way the Japanese divide and label demographics that the audience for OP would be teens.

About the whole "it's acceptable in Japan, but not America" excuse, 4kids in my opinion shouldn't even bother with those series in the first place. Like you said, the shows 4kids did were children shows in Japan, despite the fact they have some mature elements in them. So 4kids decides to take a show that doesn't fit their standards and decides to waste money and time on editing it so they could air it. Why pick shows that don't fit your standards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5-RbUxf9J0 the beginning pretty much sums up what i am trying to say Ok you make yourself a good point with the series relying on younger viewers. However, if a properly dubbed, unedited version of Yu-Gi-Oh! was available, then I wouldn't give a damn about what they did on tv. At least then I would have a choice. I mean, why hasn't that happened? Companies like FUNimation do it all the time and it works for them. Younger viewers could then watch the series on tv, while older fans could access a good unedited version. Couldn't a company just stream the unedited version online or something like that? |

And of course they massively wrecked the reputation for english dubs. Also FYI, There are unfortunately no more of those contents for pocket monsters new season like how it showed in season 1 and especially in those infamous banned epsiodes,though i kinda doubt they count. Either way,everyone agrees that they need to go and need to go now. it's crazy that bad companies like 4kids and others are still hanging on by a thread and good companies are going six feet under. |

Excuse me, 4Kids fan here as you can tell by the username. They were not that bad. I think you should realize that 4Kids had it's good sides to shows they dubbed and a lot of them turned out to be successful. Also, you should have proof-read that second sentence a bit more because it doesn't really make sense grammatically. I'm glad Konami stepped in to continue on 4Kids' legacy considering using some of their workers and voice actors.
Titan, Titan. I wanted to have the pleasure talking to you. Now let me tell you something because this just had me raise an eyebrow. Okay first of all honey, I would probably by one of those people who would want a whitewashed, hacked up dub. But I apparently don't see the 4Kids dub of Yugioh being just that. I didn't mind the changes they made such as the names, setting, violence, and a few other things. The show was still dark and had plenty of dark moments. This is perhaps their darkest show. It had a good voice cast, intro, theme song, music scores in episodes, and most importantly this show was it's next big thing after Pokemon that made a success. I think 4Kids did right with this show. My only complaint was that the cards couldn't feature the text on them due to commercial reasons, but it was strange seeing that not being the case in the 2004 movie. I also didn't like how the last episode ended without the epilogue after Atem crosses over. But yeah, I loved the 4Kids dub of the show and it's a shame people want to bash it all because it had some changes from the Japanese version. Well the English dub shouldn't have to carbon copy the Japanese version 100% and can have it's share of differences whether people like them or not. And yes, people like me in your eyes you see as unworthy of having a say here are in fact titled to have a say on anything. If you're just going to be a hater and have that sort of attitude towards us then I believe it's you who doesn't deserve to have the say here.
It's a shame GX and 5D's didn't get finished. I found the send-off they gave to 5D's was better than the one they gave to GX, despite not being the last episode. GX's ending was too quick. Jaden is taken into the stars, the characters return to the Earth, Syrus mourns over Jaden's departure and then that's it. I heard Season 4 was dark and that was why it wasn't dubbed. The last episode of Season 3 could have been dubbed since it was just one episode of that season, but I'm guessing it ends on a cliffhanger leading to S4. Konami could makes plans to dub the rest of GX and 5D's and release these never before dubbed and aired episodes out on DVD since the airing of both shows have ended. I don't think a redub of any of the shows is necessary. They weren't that badly tampered with and a lot of their good elements outweighed the bad so their English dubs by 4Kids should be tolerable. |
