Someone delete this thread. Someone delete it now!

Why the hell would I do that? Just because 4Kids is going under and you're not happy about it doesn't mean this thread deserves to die. What I will do is change the title to make it about this auction as a whole rather than just the Yu-Gi-Oh! rights.

I suppose I can sympathize with how petty you are being because you so carelessly spoiled Kingdom Hearts 3D and ruined one of my most heavily anticipated games ever for me, but frankly, I had every right to warn you for that, and I didn't even go as far as to ban you out of spite. The fact that is they're going to change the cast, and I for one am perfectly fine with that, although I am skeptical about the dub only because Konami hasn't dubbed anime before, and yet I still think they'll have more care for the source material.

Now, apparently 4Kids has the rights to The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne and Beast Keeper. I recall seeing a little bit of the former, and it wasn't bad, although I guess 4Kids is broadcasting a different version than the one I saw. What I've heard about Beast Keeper actually is pretty bad.

Personally, I just wish that they would give up.

Um, 4Kids filed for bankruptcy. The only way they could possibly get cash is out of selling all their rights. A quick Wikipedia search shows that the dub finished season 2 of Tai Chi Chasers, so unless they dub Season 3, that's it, and it's not airing on Toonzai anymore. Saban is now in charge of the CW Saturday morning block, so your best bet is to hope that they air Season 3.

Keep in mind that this has yet to be finalized. These are just the proposed settlements, and this deal should hopefully come to an end next Wednesday.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T HATED ON 4KIDS NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED!

So, because 4Kids made crappy and heavily edited (I mean "localized") dubs its our/fans fault for voicing their opinion? Look, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do a quick search on the Internet and realize that most people outside of the demographic, toddler to elementary student (which even then is meh), to see your company isn't doing things the right way. They are the last (one of the last) that see anime as a kids show, so I'm excited for what will hopefully be a better representation on the American anime community.

I still think this wouldn't have happened if 4Kids realized earlier that anime isn't a children only thing. (coughcough maybe the Shaman King incident would've been a clue coughcough)

Just because we didn't like what 4Kids was doing to anime doesn't mean it's our fault. Besides, are you saying that we should have just stayed quiet and just accept that 4Kids was doing a terrible job? The idea that our displeasure (To put it in [i]very[/i] mildly) with 4Kids is directly responsible for 4Kids' bankruptcy is just laughable.

I'll let NeoArkadia explain it [url=http://neoarkcradle.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1235&start=480#p89354]here[/url].

WELWELLWELL

Konami has all rights to Yugioh.

Kidsco has all rights to DBZ, Sonic X, Cubix, and the CW 4Kids morning block.

Not sure if second part is good thing or...

Got a quote from an admin at Neo Ark Cradle.

[quote="NeoArkadia"]They have like 2 licenses, but I think those are chiefly for Europe, but yes, most of this money should put them out of bankruptcy potentially. Or extremely aid this.[/quote]

You're right. I give it till Christmas.

Agreed, although I'll be very slightly more generous and say they have until the end of the year, although I highly doubt that they'll last that long.
