sorry to derail the 4kids hate but hey, I thought the purpose of the ZEXAL anime is for the promotion of Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG? So, why do they have to attract potential merchandise producers for ZEXAL when there's Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG in America (the only profitable merchandise that you can made off from Yu-Gi-Oh! Series) |

Oh no, no, think like Pokemon merchandise, from t-shirts to party paraphernalia to toys. Pokemon is not merely about the games. |

They actually haven't had Pokemon for a number of years now. |

As long as I get to hear voice-overs from NYC, I'm ok. But I wouldn't be surprised if this would be their swan song.

I have a feeling this could take a turn for the worse and wind up keeping Zexal out of the NA markets for a while.

See this:
I did read the post, actually. And what would be the purpose of merchandising a show they don't have a licence for. |

Would you sign contracts with someone who, in the past, hasn't paid you? That's why I'm wondering if they can go ahead and make the plans, as stated in the article, to release the show and merchandise before they even HAVE the rights to the show? I checked the encyclopedia here and this new YuGiOh is considered a different anime in the list; like a 2nd season with a different title... it has to be licensed separately, I assume... ...according to what I've read 4kids DOES NOT have the licence...thus why was going to be pitched at the next expo. ...Like how the Rurouni Kenshin movies and ova, and the TV series were originally licensed by different companies; the different seasons/series of YuGiOh could also be licensed by different companies. That's why I was curious if anyone knows how the whole licencing thing works. I'm always just ecstatic when one of the things I want get brought over so IDK. ((and I hate trying to spell the word licensed... I misspell it every time I do, lol)) |

Well, the speculation is 4kids has an all encompassing license, meaning anything Yugioh they get first dibs.

Well even i admit not all of the anime they gutted. At least they did pokemon right. But one series Don't give them the BOTD , compared to the massive amount of anime series they ruined. Not to mentioned giving anime dubs a bad name. SO I definitely agree with you . For all of our sakes, they need to go and fast before they ruin another yugioh series. I hope those people from the expo rejects this sad and desperate attempt to keep the license and THEY ARE DEFINITELY DESPERATE IF THEY WERE WILLING TO FILE FOR CHAPTER 11 JUST TO KEEP THE LICENSE FOR THE SERIES. They should definitely die a swift death,and to be honestly I for one will be glad cause 4 crap along with Corus Ent's sister company are the worst licensors PERIOD!!!
YOU WISH. That senario is the worst case senario for every since anime otaku in the US. Especially those that are waiting for the series to be finally shown how it was meant to be shown Also it is the license of the series if you read the beginning of this lawsuit news. Konami have the license to the merchandise especially the TCG. I know cause I still play the TCG right now. However there is one thing i definitely know for certain , there is NO WAY and I mean no way in hell that the franchise is gonna be in Nelvana's hands at all. That's a diaster in the making if it ever happens. Last edited by jr240483 on Sun Jun 12, 2011 5:57 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It's amazing how anything 4kids-related can bring out all the crazy irrationality in people.

Look at their track record. Of course people are gonna act crazy, it's because it's been over two decades worth of: * "It's my way or the highway" mentality by KKKKAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!! * "Doughnuts" and "Sub Sandwich Photoshop." * Edits that make no frelling sense at all. * Rearrangement of episodes to the point it makes no frelling sense. * The "token" nod to otaku had questionable results. * The "One Piece Rap." * What Merchandise? * Allegations of misdeeds behind the scenes. Instead of embracing Otaku with their disposable income, 4Kids dug themselves a deep enough hole that when they need income the most, they can't exactly cross that bridge and take advantage of it because they long ago burnt it. If their main purpose was to make money, telling a certain segment that "Your money is not welcomed" isn't good business sense. |
