| I wonder what they will obtain this time... |
| Well it was fun while it lasted. |
 |
| Both horrified and interested to see what they will license. |
 |
| *dies* |
    |
| Well... f*ck. Like funi alone isn't bad enough. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| hopefully they will get shows suited for them..like card game anime that haven't been subbed by anyone would be perfect ^^..anything else is a bit more of a stretch. Shugo Chara may be able to work depending.. examples: Live on Cardliver Kakeru Bakegyamon Battle Spirits: Shounen Toppa Version |

| awesome cant wait |
| Please get a popular kids anime! |
| Apparently they were going to adapt something that was "very popular in Japan" I'm thinking Index, personally. |
 |
| If they get a hold of Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzuu, I swear... |
 |
| I think they'll most likely license Fairy Tail. it's shounen and popular. EDIT: Kampfer was popular? o_O They should just go back to butchering One Piece. |
|
| awesome. i <3 kids. |

| Oh fuck. :| |
| Ugh. Why? Why must they do this? |
| 4kids is so laughable that I can't imagine them actually making money in anime anymore.... they're just too infamous for ridiculous edits and their name doesn't help. I'd really like to see more companies marketing subtitled unedited anime... |
 I am a banana. |
MochaMongoose said: Antanaru said: Well... f*ck. Like funi alone isn't bad enough. Hahaha. damn right they fucking messed up one piece that's why it's not as popular as it could be FUCK THEM I'LL SAY THEY SHOULD JUST GO BANK RUMP |
| Here comes Breath Note. |

 |
| Wishlist: Akikan, Seikon no Qwaser, Ladies vs Butlers and Kampfer :3 |
| This just ruined my day. Overused, but this needs to be posted: |
 Slicing. I need you. ；ω； |
Sakuma said: Wishlist: Akikan, Seikon no Qwaser, Ladies vs Butlers and Kampfer :3 That stuff would be so edited you might as well watch a black screen. Lol. |
|
_Me_ said: FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!! |

Sakuma said: Wishlist: Akikan, Seikon no Qwaser, Ladies vs Butlers and Kampfer :3 I don't think 4kids will dubbed Akikan, Seikon no Qwaser, Ladies vs Butlers and Kampfer because, Seikon no Qwaser, Ladies vs Butlers has a lot of Nudity in them. Also, Why... I just hope that 4kids only dub Kids anime.... |
| that one anime they want to licensed looks like bullshit. as long as they don't touch Amu, i'm okay |

| I seriously need to ask all of the people screaming like vicious, locked-up pussies over this announcement. Do any of you even know the title that 4Kids acquired? I'll give you a hint... nobody has even heard of or talked about this show! |
| fuck D::::::::::::: and here i thought it was over :/ i kinda hope they get something crunchyroll already has seeing as it probably wouldnt effect subs... but im wondering if thats possible though |
| 4kids should just go away. LinaInverseLover said: Oh God, this better not happen. SO MUCH stuff would have to be censored. The incest kiss, Ikuto in Amu's bed...it goes on.Shugo Chara may be able to work depending.. |
Metroid_Ex said: LOL.Words alone can't express our disgust. |
| Wait is this good or bad? Never mind but if they only get animes is mostly for little kids then its straight since they're name is 4kids so yea. |

| The Anti-Christ cometh. |
 |
| So long as they don't delve into my favorite series (which I highly doubt, since they're mostly slice-of-life seinen that kids will find boring), this news won't bother me too much. |

| Man, Chaotic was the shit. It was like YuGiOh, only you know, not popular. |
| Just to make sure I can get a heads up, this thread is going to span for the next 10 pages as less of a discussion about what exactly 4Kids licnesed and did NOT license and more of a rant/retrospective of 4Kids and their history with anime in the past 10 years, isn't it? I mean I might as well assume that's what all of the following posts are going to be about since it's all I've been seeing so far. |
