If they were filing under Chapter 7, the company would be dead. Chapter 11 does not mean the company has gone under. Shhh... don't ruin the moment... |
|
| Ahaha oh wow. |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
 |
| :D OH THE IRONY.... CORRECT HEADLINE, WRONG COMPANY....I must be half a prophet....nah this is much better than my previous prediction. Good riddance 4kids... |
Onibokusu said: ycart59 said: Shhh... don't ruin the moment... Ruin the moment? Not paying royalties is the only bad thing that 4kids has done, and they're not the only licensor to have ever done it. Now, before people come in going 'SKDGAJD EDITEDZ ANIMUS ONE PIECE SONIC X BLARH 4KIDZ SUX', you are aware that 4kids has had uncut versions of the anime they've licensed available to the public for years right? 4kids' licenses were edited for TV. I'm just joking around, I hope you realize. Then please explain how changing a riceball to a sandwich has anything to do with making something appropriate for TV. You have to agree that some of their edits make absolutely no sense. |

| 4kids what to expect? |
| I would usually just be laughing at them..... but thinking about the times when I actually enjoyed their dubs as a kid, allbeit they're pretty crappy to me now that I know about the originals, I think I'd rather go and support them. Go and let little kids enjoy the butchered anime, and if they find the originals and think they're better than their dubs, just go and let them hate 4Kids when the time comes. Though then again, what they did with the YGO franchise was just plain dumb. They were putting 30 something percent of their profit in jeopardy just to get a couple(thousand) more bucks. |

Onibokusu said: Well, I wouldn't expect you to know what irony was anyway. an outcome of events contrary to what might have been expected Obviously I'm referring to the fun time we had in the other thread. Actually this is so much better, as you can see EVERYONE is happy about 4kids going bankrupt. |
| This is the only time where a death in the Anime Community is beneficial. |
| Surprised it took so long. |
 |
| What are they doing to do 4 the kids now? |
Onibokusu said: alexcampos said: an outcome of events contrary to what might have been expected Yeah, and we were discussing FUNimation, not 4kids. Thus, it's not irony, since it's not the same subject. 4kids losing money due to a lost license isn't ironic either, since it's expected, and certainly not the opposite to anything they've announced or stated. That's why I said CORRECT HEADLINE....WRONG COMPANY. also, it's IRONIC that this happened only 2 days after I was talking about bankruptcy in terms of AMERICAN Anime Industry. I already knew 4kids was going under, I just didn't EXPECT it to happen so soon. |
| Meh. Even though I don't like their censors or anything, it's not a good reason for everyone to be overjoyed at this happening to 4Kids. I assume a lot of kids watch their shows and they're able to get introduced to anime this way. Even if all their anime is over censored, at least it's not the only version available. Still, they probably deserve this for what they did with Yugioh but that's not why you're all happy. |
Onibokusu said: No matter how you try to twist it, it still isn't irony. Ok....don't really care... Back to the important issue...even though this is Chapter 11, I still hope 4kids loses Yu-Gi-Oh for good, I can't stand that fail company and all their idiotic attempts to save themselves from the inevitable. Yu-Gi-Oh was not as horrible as 4kids presented it to be....I hate them for eternity just for that. Confucius said: This is the only time where a death in the Anime Community is beneficial. Very true... |
Onibokusu said: alexcampos said: Yu-Gi-Oh was not as horrible as 4kids presented it to be....I hate them for eternity just for that. You've never watched the uncut version of 4kids' Yu-Gi-Oh dub, have you? Now this is something you would never forgive yourself for missing alex... |
Onibokusu said: alexcampos said: Yu-Gi-Oh was not as horrible as 4kids presented it to be....I hate them for eternity just for that. You've never watched the uncut version of 4kids' Yu-Gi-Oh dub, have you? I'll be honest....no I never watched it, but I also heard it only lasted about 10 or 20 episodes....OUT OF the 224 episodes of YGO that's not enough. I'll also admit I liked the voices especially Yugi/Yami or Atem or whatever you want to call him... The problem was 4kids love with AMERICANIZING the whole f-ing series, not to mention the HORRIBLE editing. I also know this was done for TV and because it was targeted to little kids...and blah, blah, blah... STILL....You won't get much sympathy from people for 4kids. |
RedSuisei said: Onibokusu said: Makes no sense to me. Even back when I was 4 years old I had no problem recognizing Japanese foods from anime. And that's more than 10 years before I started to know more about Japanese.That makes no sense to you? Makes perfect sense to me. As the only anime licensor that still practises Americanisation, they simply switched a rice ball to a sandwhich, as a sandwich is going to be more recognisable than a rice ball. If I were a kid and I was watching that scene where the rice ball rolled down the hill, I probably would have thought it was a snow ball. It's exactly the same as when they subbed out the words 'rice ball' for 'doughnut' back in the early episodes of the Indigo League. Onibokusu just likes to argue with people, trying make prove the superiority of his knowledge and opinion :/ |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

| I watched all of the original Yugioh in dubbed form... actually I watched all of GX dubbed until they stopped and have been watching 5Ds in dubbed form also. I guess I'll be losing something out of this, but I'm okay with it still. |
