4Kids To "Return To It's Roots" By Getting More Japanese Animation

[zacktiptips]

Ok, have you seen what Eyeshield 21 US Project did to Eyeshield 21? Have you seen how they altered Hiruma's character because they edited the guns? I don't mind language edits, but I can't stand the way 4KiRAB has edited guns. Can you imagine Hiruma with this, because this is what 4KiRAB would do to Eyeshield 21.


Also, Reborn! wouldn't make a whole lot of sense without the usage of guns and the mafia. It would be easier to edit than some of the others you've mentioned, but Reborn! would end up like One Piece did, with major episodes skipped or spliced, if 4KiRAB got a hold of it.

In...the US? You better not be talking about Japan.

So this basically says they lost tons of money last year, and Kahn says himself that it has been a terrible year. He says that they will be returning to anime to get back in their roots when they were a great company. Also says on Monday they got a very big lisence that they will announce very soon. They also say they will rebrand this fall with many new Japanese animation. Last but not least they said they got the Yugioh 10th anniversary movie.

Trust me, of those working at 4kiRAB, all of them have seen the videos, either directly or indirectly as a whole. A few things changing would be nice to note.

And yes, the 3D movie is the one from early this year.

Maybe they could get Yatterman 2008 and pull a Samurai Pizza Cat dub on it.

I mean they almost did that with GX anyway

Heck any kid show with a SPC type dub could be fun.

^^That argument won't work with him. He said he likes 4KiRAB' edits and stuff like that.

Yes, in the US!

I have not yet seen anime on BluRay, and did not actually know they made anime BluRays. The idea seems weird, since BluRay is CG enhancement, but anime is not CG, in most cases. They would have to add a CG frame to everything for it to even seem different, and then it would seem artificial, and not natural. The movies I have seen on BluRay are actually at stores where they are sold, the two being Tranformers 2 and Monsters vs. Aliens, which both had CG effects, and seemed to flow smoothy. As anime rarely flows in such a way, BluRay would not seem like a needed option, unless you have really good vision to notice the differences.

Maybe you should read it a bit closer. He never says he likes the edits. He says Who cares if they edit stuff. I don't personally mind when the edit the various kanji or sponsors, but what I'm talking about is changing the character development of a person altogether. Hiruma doesn't work without the guns. Reborn! doesn't work without the guns. Items such as a hammer gun or a laser gun don't work when it causes the intimidation factor, not to mention the various blackmailing stunts. There is no way they could edit them without seriously altering the storyline in some areas.
