Cin Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Says it all really, they had a contact to 2015. For hiding extra income related to the Yu-Gi-Oh Franchise, and selling rites to other companies such as Majesco and Funimation. This meant they weren't paying the full 50% that the TvTokyo/Nihon Ad deal meant they should pay.

.Nu-13 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 FINALLY! They won't butcher 5D's more. Guesses who will do the dubbing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Who knows. That's what 4Kids get for taking kick backs like they own the rites to sell the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Do the crime, pay the price. I doubt FUNimation would get it. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Metallium Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Man 4kids is really f***ed now maybe now this will be a opportunity to cartoon network and for me that means the official return of toonami i think well maybe but who knows whats now is that 4kids should never deal with professional anime.

Just Crouton Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm going to miss the random segments where the female voiceover tells me a monster's ATK and Level after it was shown a second earlier. I can settle for 4Kids' bad dubbing of 5D's (the show's not that great anyways.) It would be nice to leave in some of the original soundtrack.

Cin Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 4Kids deserve it really, who buys rites for a franchise for dubbing really only then sells it to several other companie and refuses to tell the owner of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 i agree they deserved it, i wouldn't be surprised if they have new VAs for future episodes of 5Ds and i hope whoever dubs them next doesn't butcher it to hell like 4kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well, this sucks. A few things could happen now. -Yu-Gi-Oh simply isn't released in America anymore. - BAD -A different company gets it, and then it looses popularity and gets stuck with a DVD only release. - BAD ie: Funimation's dub. "A trap card? You bastards! Damn, I can't afford to loose any more life points, this sucks!" <-- Won't fly on American TV. -An even worse company than 4kids gets it, like the people who dub Bakuman. - BAD So please don't start celebrating like 4kids is the freaking son of Satan.

Cin Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Appart from maybe the odd bit of swearing, and death (possibly) they don't need to cut alot. Its just getting the scripts to match the lip sync. I'm only happy because of how people associate YGO with children when that's not the original target audience. It makes some fans embarrassed to say they like the series. Although when you come in my room you can clearly see it (14 volumes and counting of manga, might dig the DVDs out in the future), I wouldn't tell people I know in RL. Its the stigma its been left with because of 4Kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 but the fact that 4kids butchered up episodes so much was just ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I was more annoyed by the changing of the characters personalities more than anything. I didn't mind removal of swearing and covering/editting certain bits they would have deemed too much for children, but when they can get away with the use of the word death in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Kingdom and then cut it everytime really since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 [quote name='ADHD-Guitar' timestamp='1301517196' post='5100823'] people who dub Bakuman. [/quote] I don't think it's ever been officially dubbed, has it? Also, FUNimation is out of the question automatically, as they helped 4Kids with their breach of contract here.

[/quote] Toonami will not certainly return the way it was back then. Why? Well because of parental complaints and such (which is why they had to cut off hours of anime) but Cartoon Network most certainly will have better dubs because it has less censorship then 4kids. Hope they lose DBZ rights too. Then they'll go bankrupt and everybody except 4kids will be happy . I wonder how this saturday will turn out.

Rias Gremory Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 YAAAAY! It was about time! Hmm I hope a good dub company gets it. I dont mind if Funimation gets it since their Dub for Slayers wasnt half bad either. Although I dont think they will get it since Funimation was involved in this mess.
