mmmm....so I take it that 4kids are losing more financial costs and probully won't last another year I suppose?

Well,as long as they have dinosaur king and Yugioh 5D's going on,they'll still hang in by a thread.

The U.K has already started airing the sequel to dinosaur King known as Kyoryu King Pterosaur Legend,and this season is actually pretty good compared to the first dinosaur king series. unlike the first series,the sequel deals with time travel and battling aliens.

That's pretty sad. You joined ANN just to say that.

4Kids is what got a lot of kids into anime.

Pokemon ftw~

Thanks to 4Kids for doing mostly the only good anime I like in dubbing, Pokemon which I am right now watching the new anime of it, watches it everyday of every day on Cartoon Network because I love it a whole lot and will always.

Yu-gi-oh 5d's is going to be shown? That show is downright violent...


From what I've seen (which is the first 26 episodes), it's dark...but not really violent. This is the most violent thing I've seen in the show (which 4Kids kept in surprisingly):


I'm hearing this all second hand <---a friend of mine has been watching the show the past few days and gives us a summary of events of each episode. I have seen the first 3 or 4 episodes myself.
spoiler[have they shown the Darksigners yet and explained you have to die to become one? What about the part where Yuesei gets the tracker put on his face? I remember one girl getting tossed off a building at some point. ]


Have they gotten that far? I'm not against the show or anything I liked the bits and pieces I saw...but with 4kids involved it still concerns me.

They kept in the tracker mark, but took out some scenes so it looked less painful. For the other two instances, the dub hasn't gotten that far yet.

The dub is okay...there's a lot of pointless name changes and added dialogue, but those things are pretty trivial and don't affect the show too much. The voice acting is questionable in some places, but overall it''s decent. I'd say it's no worse than the original Yu-Gi-Oh! dub.

Perhaps now's the time to release subbed versions of the anime they have? Not their current shows, but maybe stuff like the original YGO DM series?

And yes, I'm aware they released DVDs before, but no one buys 3 episode DVDs anymore. Do it right, and watch the money roll.

While i don't like 4kids. But there's not much else out there on non-cable networks. With E/I requirements it just sucks to do anything animated or geared towards kids. I hope they survive as the day there are no more Saturday morning cartoons being broadcast over the air. That'll be a sad day.

I was under the impression that we were over 4kids..
Oh well. I watch the new YGO sometimes but other then that they seem to be done with killing anime that were pretty tame in the first place.
