Those who are wondering if Viz is going to get this show, they won't. Burnpsy told me once upon a time that they only get dubbing rights if they actually had something to do with the making of the show. Funimation would be the better choice, but that clearly won't happen because they already called dibs on CF!!V. :P

I would think that Viz would be able to get the rights, but considering how several Viz-published manga have had the anime dubbed by Funimation, it could go either way. Where did you here that Funimation is dubbing Vanguard? Besides, it's possible for them to dub both anime.

Viz is co-owned by Shueisha and Shogakukan. Shueisha owns Weekly Shonen Jump. Weekly Shonen Jump ran Yu-Gi-Oh!.

So what you're saying is is that if no one buys it 4kids foes to Saban, but if the court dosen't approve then 4kids keeps Yu-gi-oh?

Cause if this sale goes through then that's 2 1/2 hours of lost programming and they're just about to start the Atem Arc.

Kidsco...that sounds familiar. Did they do Medabots or something?

Medabots was the shizznip for a few episodes. Then I forgot everything about it.

Oh, you guys are just looking at Anime that's why you haven't seen what they've done. Let me go through a little list:

- Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
- Count Duckula
- Cyberchase
- Donkey Kong Country
- The Fairly Odd Parents
- Franklin
- Inspector Gadget
- Little Bear
- Redwall
- Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic Underground
- The Super Mario Bros. Super Show
- Super Mario World
- The Berenstain Bears
- The Magic School Bus
- Wallace and Gromit

So basically they do a lot of kid shows. But I don't recall ever hearing bad voice acting from them. Like nothing embarrassing. Honestly it could be really good for Zexal. Who knows?

Oh, and here's the weirdest part: Kids Co. is owned by NBC Universal.

So it could air on NBC, but other options include G4, and frankly that's all I can see after that...

And here's another fun fact: Kids Co was founded by DiC entertainment, who, for those who don't know, did Sailor Moon. Saint Seiya, and Speed Racer.

Then again guys, based on the article LZ posted, it may just be Saban that has ownership, just as what was originally thought, though the fact that it says KidsCo is really starting to confuse me.
(Aggro then makes a list of Saban stuff)[list]
[*]Captain N: The Game Master
[*]Digimon
[*]Dragonball Z
[*]Well EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!
[*]Power Rangers
[*]Spider-Man
[*]X-Men
[/list]
Frankly, I can't tell if they actually did the stuff for these shows or if they just own the rights. Still, half of these shows scare the sh*t outta me.

Extra Edit: Sorry guys, that KidsCo I posted about just before is a COMPLETELY different company. :\

Well that sucks.

If no one buys, the Yu-Gi-Oh! rights would go to KidsCo, and while it doesn't exactly say what happens if the court doesn't approve, I'm pretty sure it just means that the rights will stay up for auction rather than revert to 4Kids.

I have no idea what you mean by the lost programming, and as Fusion pointed out, DM is over.

Are all dubbers so broke because anime fans tend to pirate everything or is there some other reason?

We're talking about ONE company. Do you really think that means we're talking about all dubbing companies?

Dubbing companies don't get broke because of fan subbers. The fansub community is not like the music pirating community, they actually care about the industry and a lot, if not most of them will take down their fansubs if the anime gets localized.

Not true. If you haven't been watching Toonzai, you'll see they're re-running Classic Yu-Gi-Oh! and they just finished the Capsule Monsters arc and are moving on to the "Pharaoh's Name" arc. And Toonzai is a five hour block, but take Yugioh and DBZ away and you're left with 2 1/2 hours of nothing. What will you run from 9-11 and 11:30 to noon?

And DiC, you got me sold there. The voice cast for Sonic SatAM was phenominal. Maybe they'll run it again.

And Fairly Odd Parents dosen't count as anime.
