or at least half the jokes would be absent.
I think this is the one good thing brought about by 4Kids, and that's because of their idiocy.

Well, your right, Mogsworth. Besides, at least Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series was the only thing that can come out of it...

But If the intros and endings of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX was still in tact with what it is in japan, then things will be a lot more brighter for the show.

It's a show about people playing cards; could you possibly expect it to be any good?

Granted the manga was about gang fights and arson and shit like that which was kinda funny.

Yeah, I know. I watched episodes 1~30, including Cr@psul monsters episode 1. They made me laugh. I really like episode 5's intro with the Yugios. "There Yugi-licious!"

Can't wait for an episode 31! ^-^

I cant get into card games a show about people playing cards would be even worse for me :P

For some weird reason, my only fav part of Yu-Gi-Oh is Season Zero. It's the season that was never showed by 4kids because it was too violent, and other stuffs. I could also never get into the card fight crap, either. Season Zero did have card fights, but they were more broad with imagination. Some weren't even card fights. :D

Yeah. It was mostly focused on Yugi, and the battles were more of a challenge to his opponent that just Duel Monsters. In fact, the only episode which revolves of that is which he's against Seto Kaiba.

Oh. And if your wondering who acquired Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Take a wild guess at who's going to do the same thing with the other two series?

4KIDS!!!

More material for LittleKuribo to rag on!

Seriously! Look at this:

Wikipedia article wrote:

As with the previous two series (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX), this series has been acquired by 4Kids Entertainment.
This means more awful dubbing! For the love of Ra, ViZ media should stopped them and acquire it! Since they didn't, goodbye any songs we're wanting to listen on the first season! Also, there not going to keep the names of the characters they have on the Japanese version! Yusei Fudo is going to be mad when he reads this.

Well, I can tell that Yugi, Seto and Mokuba's names haven't been damaged by 4Snizz (name calling for 4Kids).

"Hajimari no Uta", the ending theme for the Japanese version of the movie, is performed by Puffy AmiYumi. The ending theme for the English dub was "We Will Meet Again" performed by John Siegler.
I just did not belive it... 4Kids hate Puffy AmiYumi too? Those poor gastrols! They milk a multi-billion dollar show which was aired in Japan, but they removed "Hajimari no Uta" from the end of the movie?!? 4Hizz (another 4Kids namecalling), you have gone too far...
They didn't hate it, it's pretty normal for pokemon to have it's japanese music swapped with something American. In America!
Best one ever was Pokemon the Movie 2000's ending.
Koopser
Yeah they always do that, changed One Piece's "We Are" for rap...music...thing...ugh, change dYu-Gi-Oh's "Voice" for a strange montage using voices and clips, hell they even changed Sonic X and Kirby opening too. Ok I can understand that leaving it japanese would make children confused, but why not just redo the song with translated lyrics instead of completely changing it? >_>

Hmmm... I dunno... Maybe they never noticed that Puffy AmiYumi are a worldwide phenomenon?

Well, we can get to that later. for now, let's get back to the Yu-Gi-Oh! subject.

They aren't. They're a semi-famous Japanese rock band, and a mediocre American cartoon.
4kids are not CN, therefore they don't need to listen to fans/god.

I haven't really got anything to say about Yu-Gi-Oh, since I actually liked the 4kids one.
I can't stand GX or 5Ds, GX is way too boring, and 5Ds is like Akira for 4yr olds.
Both of them suck even without 4kids.

Yeah! But I did mention the Blackface/Whiteface controversy on the first post, just in case you forgot. ^-^

Also, I found a Youtube video made by EdoPhoenix about why Yu-Gi-Oh! GX was dubbed poorly. Check it out! http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IxvJZg9Pz0s&feature=related

Why would you watch anime on a children's TV network in the first place?

My manga comment is...I think manga is a problem. It's a problem because we're in a culture that is not a reading culture. The kids today don't read. They never...they read less today. Every survey...they're watching more television, they're on the Internet more...
Did he seriously say this? I've learned pretty much every English word and grammar rule I know on the Internet/in video games, not in school. And lok at i no. :/

I don't know Loginer... But all I know is, according to my knowledge, 4Kids destroyed the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Tokyo Mew Mew Power (As I call it) and One Piece.

Don't believe me? Look at these video review on Tokyo Mew Mew Power and One Piece, since you saw the calamity 4Kids put though with GX.

Well, to send in evidence about how 4Kids completely muddle with anime.
Mogsy
You do it a lot, though.

I think it's pretty much implied that an anime is going to be put to death once it's taken by 4Kids.

Hey guys, this is what Higurashi would probably turn out like.

I can post links too, woo :3

Haha, epicness is epic.
Reminds me of an RPG I played a few years ago (but gave up on, since I hate RPGs).
I wonder what School Days would have been like, or Elfen Leid...

Heh, 2Kids... That hilarious Mogsworth! :)

Well, If you didn't understand it well about Tokyo Mew Mew Power, I tell a few things that 4Kids butchered in a nutshell:

1. The names of Ichigo Momomiya, Mint Aizawa, Lettuce Midorikawa, Pudding Fong and Zakuro Fujiwara were changed to Zoey Hanson, Corina Bucksworth, Bridget Verdant, Kikki Benjamin and Renée Roberts. Also, two villian that I'm going to tell you has names which was backwards: Dren = Nerd, Tarb = Brat. That's a load of Humiliation right there.

2. The slot, episodes and clips of the show were muddled into a big cluster#$&@, which completely destroyed the plot. I rather watch in Japan.

3. There is this one character in an episode of Tokyo Mew Mew Power who is British, But is replaced by a Mexical in the 4Kids dub. You hear me? A Beaner in an anime? When did they thought it up? Ate they on pot? Or one of their employees was Mexican! I watched Mind of Mencia. Believe me, Beaner is a name he give to those brown, people who mannage to infiltrate our US border.

Well, that's about it in a nutshell.

That's totally real, and makes sense for James to be speaking backwards anyway.

Guys, come on. Look at their name: 4Kids. The Japanese makers aren't stupid; they're giving this stuff to 4Kids because it'll turn a profit at the expense of the original being altered to fit the new audience, no matter how off from the original audience that may be. A company called 4Kids makes anime for kids. If you want anime for adults, with serious themes, go through other sources.

I admit 4Kids makes some stupid mistakes sometimes, but you should realize it's not the only product.

Though I can't really think of anything to add that hasn't already been addressed so zzzz

Why haven't we talked that much about 4kids version of yu-gi-oh that was perhaps the only and I mean ONLY! anime 4kids had that was good.

Huh? The yugioh dub was an abomination. They might as well have called it, "Yugioh, 4Kids edition!"

Like, Dinosaur King is probably one of two good dubs 4Kids has done. These are like, their two newest, too. They finally stopped sucking. o.o Probably because their sucking cost them money.

P.S. Kids, just watch Bakugan, Pokemon, or Digimon Data Squad, the later two of which stepped up their act. In the past year or so, dubs of kid animes have improved a LOT. Seriously.
fireriku546
I have to disagree I liked it actually as a kid and technically I'm still a kid (I'm 12) But when I was younger I actually liked Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon and that was pretty much it for 4kids oh and the teenage mutant ninja turtle games those were awesome.
SPEAKING OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! Might I ask why the hell all the blood and crap is still there? I mean they still have swords and blood what does this mean? It means that the reason all the japanese animes have been edited to hell is because there still being dicks to japan. Its like saying "Hey japan suck my nuts you deserved to be bombed ..l..

OK, what's going on? Did someone hijack 4KidsTV's account? They're praising Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series in the comments.

Yes - absolutely. TAS is very well done and hilarious.

Worst thread ever. Depending on how old you are you probably have 4kids to thank for getting you into anime. Yeah sure now that you are older you can look back and say how awful it was, but can't you say that about anything?

Well I don't agree on the statement about this being the worst thread ever. But I do agree that 4kids was the one who brought me Pokemon. Everything else, Animax.

Well, I do have to say that YGO 5D's is yet another target to the 4Kids dubbing plauge. I never saw it, but I feared that it will start sucking.

If you don't have to agree to me, that's fine.
Ekaru
4Kids improved in the past year or two.

That is because most kid dubbing companies have greatly improved in the past year or two. Maybe last 3 years.

Dunno what happened, but they (as in, kid dubbing companies in general) suddenly started putting out dubs for kid shows that were actually *good*. See for yourself.

There's still some censoring, but the writing is much better overall. Voice acting? Eh, depends on the show. Music? Depends on the show. It's improved in many cases, but not all.

I don't get *why* they suddenly started improving, they just did, so don't ask why.
