How big would the cuts be?
| Please keep this light and fun, no rants on how much you hate them as a company, just a casual topic on how much your favorite show would have to change once adopted by 4kids Strawberry Marshmallow i think would be fine aside from some more adult jokes. Azumanga Daioh might lose some of it's cultural humor in favor of american okes (Technically the dub did this by changing Mori to Clinton) Dragon Maid would lose it's fanservice, Lucoa would be drawn completely flat and be changed to Shot's big sister or some weird stuff and 90% of their scenes cut They might not even touch Please Teacher because it has sex and a somewhat inappropriate dynamic with the main couple, Aishiteruze Baby same story due to the series covering abuse and neglect I can't see them touching Monster Musume either. Ah My Goddess might be safe and almost 1:1. The romance is very chaste and the action is barely PG. They might cut the episode where Belldandy drinks the serum that makes her more lustful Watamote...no idea. Probably on the 'Wouldn't even bother" list Ghosti n the Shell: Stand Alone Complex would have laser guns, would lose much of it's deep subtext. Definitely the hardest hit. |

| "How big would the cuts be?" Moderate changes perhaps. |

How the shit would they manage to deal with Urusei Yatsura? Even at best, they'd have to cull out like 95% of the anime. It's just too much shit for them to "jelly donut", "lollipops instead of cigarettes" and "finger guns" their way out of. |

| They would give up on Legend of the Galactic Heroes because it's too boring for the Saturday morning demographic. Ghost in the Shell has violence, guns and nudity which will need ti be cut from the already short film. Some of these scenes can be kept with some ET gun erasure magic and Yu Gi Oh nudity cover up but others like the last part of the tank battle will need to be severely cut. Also the director likes scenery porn but that's too boring for 4kids (and to be fair he has been criticized for it by more "serious" people, I like it though) so that will have to be cut as well. The film is already just 80 minutes long but that's gonna make it even shorter. There's also a kabbalah tree of life and 4kids is against religious imagery although that's probably obscure enough to be left in. Turn A Gundam would probably be left in as is. Gundam has had success on the Saturday morning block and Turn A Gundam is one of the tamest in the franchise. |

| yeah they would censor a lot of stuff in gintama, idk how much since it has lots of double meaning jokes |

| @JaniSIr It'd probably get reduced down to just a cameo in the 4kids National Anthem. |
|
| Monster would be set in America and Johan would be an art thief instead. And it would be reduced to only 21 episodes. |

| @Daviljoe193 Funimation basically pretended it didn't exist, so that'd be an improvement. |
| Does 4kids even exist these days? I never liked 4kids. They apply too much censorship to anime television shows. Funimation is a better English translator of anime btw. |

| I only watched a little bit of my favorite Astro Boy dubbed, but I think 4kids would have done a slightly better job. They would have composed a great English opening and left the show in its original Japanese aspect ratio. 4kids GeGeGe no Kitaro would be hard to watch. |

| If the animated Jojo adaptations done by David Productions existed while 4Kids was still around, the series would be pretty different. I remember back in my teenage years to practice photoshop making shitpost edits of Jojo screenshots to "4Kidsify" them and the results were oftentimes hilarious. I could outright see 4Kids skipping entire parts such as Part 1 and possibly even Part 2, not only for the marketability aspect with Part 3 onwards, but because the horror tones were much stronger in the first 2 parts. Obviously, all the gore and guns from Parts 3 onwards would be replaced, which would probably lead to some funny results with characters like Hol Horse and Mista who's whole powerset revolve around guns. In part 6, I could also see them changing Pucci a little bit to remove the Catholic Priest element of his character, as 4Kids tended to remove religious elements of their shows. Characters like Trish, Jolyne, and Mariah would also probably have their outfits modified to show less skin most likely. The show would just be so different with all the edits that it would honestly be kinda hilarious to have alongside the original version if it ever did exist. |

| It's impossible to imagine turning Serial Experiments Lain into something interesting to small children. |
| 180 maybe. - HxH, meruem? dead change dialogue to sleep and poisoned to just feel sick. skip all killing/gore scene. change their age too maybe because they're still children. - can't think they will touch real ecchi theme. - tsuma, shougakusei ni naru, they will change his wife reincarnation to just play around at uncle's place and more rework. doubt they can keep it up though. not rant but praise, i respect more this type who censor everything instead of other who just censor side that they hate. but still, better is not to censor anything. |

| Magic Knight Rayearth: Possible title change, some edits to costumes, cutting or editing the stock transformation scene, and the knights would probably have their names changed, too. I think it would mostly stay intact, script-wise? Would an interesting watch, regardless. |

| K-On songs would probably turn into a bunch of pro-America music, including the American national anthem and Stars and Stripes Forever. |
| Trigun and Ushio to Tora would be extremely butchered but just barely doable. Good luck with everything else. |

| @Fleeting_Dream Funnily enough there was almost a Fox Kids dub that censored and localized things but it was cancelled before the first episode. They did use those localized names for the LatAM Spanish dub. Hikaru is Lucy, Umi is Marina and Fuu is Anais. Though the LatAM dub is completely faithful to the Japanese. |

| Since I'm Southeast Asian, I haven't really experienced the 4Kids channel. I only know a bit about their reputation from watching some [Anime] Abdridge series on YouTube as they tend to make jokes about it; It's TeamFourStar and LittleKuriboh (aaah... those were the days). If it's the censorship thing, then I guess there's no way they would air Gintama at all. They'd probably have a chance at airing a censored, and shortened, 1st season of Gintama since things weren't too "DONDAKE!!!" yet during those times. But even just a little few steps over that season might trigger the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon. They might have to cut Sarutobi out of the series entirely if they aired Gintama. xD |
