Now that you say so…...What a Hypocrite!
4kids reports more loses and announces a new "mystery" license

Good thing I don't really give a damn about something as trivial as a fanbase. Should I really care? Should I be offended? Give me a reason, and I'll seriously consider.
Did I ever specifically address you?
I was just calling it how i see it.
Just peruse through this thread at the people who flipped their shit when someone mentioned 4kids being good.

The 4Kids dub is like the Holocaust of One Piece fans.

I have TERRIBLE NEWS.
Sean Schemmel was right when he said "Canadian Music". He was talking about the OTHER DBKAI dub that is being made by the ocean group!
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2328268374&v=wall&story_fbid=400498358374
Are you serious ??!
I know I'm in the minority of the minority, but if this is true it's made my fucking day ! I GREW UP on the Ocean Dub,
and there are no torrents of it around, if DB Kai gets the Ocean Dub I can relive all those good memories ! :happy:Tbh, anyway, I prefer Drummond's Vegeta.
They're both great like, but I favour Drummond's more, it feels to suit Vegeta better to me. -
That makes a lot more sense, given the level of editing Ocean Group has applied to that anime in the past. I imagine it'll be MORE popular than the other Kai airing simply because Ocean's dub is nostalgic for a good chunk of the internet, and it's unknown outside of Canada. It was before they went "mainstream".
Hey, look it's Sean Schemmel acting all harcore putting down dubs for having crappy music and unfaithful dialogue after being the main attraction in DBZ and working for 4Kids for years.
You know, that reminds me of GS777 (watch, this'll summon him) EGX or firecrouch or someone was saying something about FUNimation's music guy for DBZ's dub was really anal about defending his work and his contribution toward making DBZ great. I was genuinely surprised because for me it was just background music imitating the Ocean Group score, with only a handful of memorable themes.
Then I saw this awful YouTube boss battle between this troll and DBZ fans, where the troll was dissing the music and the DBZ dub lovers were rolyplaying Zerglings and rushing his comments almost as fast as they were posted. I couldn't help but think it was the composer and his sock puppets defending his cyberturf on some random DB video.
-
Hmm, I don't remember saying anything about that.
-
It must be GS777 or EGX then.
We should get GS777 in here! He's like frickin' Beetlejuice, say his name while discussing him in some form and he'll be called from the great beyond to share long dead DBZ internet culture.

Blood was both edited and left untouched in the Toonami airings, it was inconsistent. I believe most times the blood was edited to be of a lesser volume, but still left some blood present. Then of course we had moments like Freeza horizontally bisecting himself being left fully uncut in the Toonami airing, while the much less gory vertical bisect by Trunks on Freeza was cut short to not show Freeza actually coming apart.
I'm pretty sure one of the rules was that standing blood was OK (drizzle down the cheek or chest or arm) but moving blood (a splatter, dripping etc) had to be censored.
-
One of the odder DBZ edits I recall was one during a filler minute of the Cell Game. This road was packed with people attempting to get away from the area and a bunch of cars are stopped by a train. The train passes on by and reveals Cell standing there staring at the people in the cars, who ditch their cars and run away.
Now, in the television version, Cell just stands there and stares without saying a word before the scene changes back to Goku and the other heroes; the way the scene is cut, it's an oddly sad, pensive moment for Cell. In the unedited version, he picks up a car and chucks it at the people offscreen. We don't see anybody even get crushed by it though we do hear screens and an explosion.
So the overall effect is to make a total bastard like Cell somewhat more sympathetic than he would be and all because they chose to cut an entire sequence rather than just remove the soundtrack for the last little bit of it.

I wonder how Funi got in touch with 4kids…
-
Via Toei, of course.
-
But see, thats the weird part.I thought Toei hated them for sinking One Piece in America and I mean the continent not just USA.

You haven't been paying attention - this is the Ocean dub, NOT FUNimation's.

4Kids and Toei have had a long and amiable relationship with one another, moreso than FUNimation, who Toei actually bore a bit of a grudge against because they were "tricked" into licensing DBZ to FUNimation at a very, very low price. To think that a relationship that spans eight years would be tarnished simply because of one (successful) series that didn't turn out to be a blockbuster, really shows an inflated view of OP's worth. And despite FUNimation's efforts, the OP anime is still not particularly high selling or popular, and people are STILL rationalizing that as either 4Kids ruining its rep or Americans being "too stupid" to get OP.
4Kids paid a lot for OP, Toei can't complain about that. But if they were looking to raise the licensing fees come renewal time, you can bet FUNimation probably had to pay less than 4Kids did.

I think you haven't been paying attention, because the Ocean dub will only air in Canada (and most likely the UK). The press release makes it pretty clear it's FUNimation's DBK that will air on Toonzai.

Could you please link the press release that confirms an Ocean Dub?
I've not heard anything about this at all.But if they are doing this with an ocean Dub too, then this means
THAT DRAGON BALL IS GONNA BE BACK TERRESTERIALLY ON AIR IN THE UK !!It's been so long, over 5 years or so I'm sure.
This is great. My favourite show is back, and I can enjoy the brand new ride ! -

Oh, the irony.
The FUNimation dub will be the one airing on Toonzai. It… even said so in the press release. There is absolutely no reason for the Ocean dub to air in the US when there is already an American dub.
So pay more attention, and have some common sense.

Also, it is not confirmed it will air at all in the UK. This Ocean dub is only being made to not go against the cancom law.

I had doubted it. The reason Dragon Ball's not been aired for like 5 years over here is that the channels don't have the rights to air them,
and there's some big debate over it. Hopefully they can sort this out with Kai. Canada is the UK's Sister Country, in terms of Dubbing and Anime etc,
If they say "it'll air in canada" it ussually means the UK'll get it too, so let's hope ! -

Ok guys for all of you wanting to talk about how much 4kids sucks and about how much you hate them and want them to go down this is the place to discuss it!
-
4Kids hate kinda died out a long time ago.
-
….4kids is still alive?
-
Such a fucking pointless thread, really.
-
@Badass:
….4kids is still alive?
Yes. I was under the impression that no one really cares about them now.
-
what the fuck's 4kids and why does anyone care about it

well might as well make it for the all the people wanting to hate on 4kids and wanting to get the hair off there chest.
-
I don't think we need a mindless hate thread, but if you want to discuss 4kids, I can leave this thread open (though I don't remember if we already had a general 4k thread or not).

Stop making threads Tamaki…

There was a ton of 4kids threads back in the day, but once funi took over One Piece, discussion died down here and most of the threads were locked.
Also, stop double posting.

I remember people posting wishes for Al Kahn's horrific demise.
Veronica Taylor could have made a good Robin. She's got a good enough voice.
It's just the whole retarded 'she wearin' a cowboy hat, let's make her southern' thing -

God I miss Toonami. Ours was actually it's own channel. Of course it was best
(for anime etc) when it was CNX. But Toonami was really our only spot for anime.By 2007 it was dying. All clogged up with live actions shows like crappy cliche Australian-based, Australian-produced
dramas about teens surfing, and little retarded kids with dubbed in voices experimenting science around the house.So I guess it was best to put it out of its misery. I can only rememver it in its prime.
I believe Fighting Foodons and Ultimate muscle were the only Good 4Kids Dubs,IMO
I loved Ultimate Muscle. Got me into it. And I guess it was only due to 4KIDs we got those extra episodes.
But there were quite a few alterations from the original that had fans angry about it. (I guess that's standard for 4KIDs) :D -

You mean the dub where they basically sacked Rachel Lillis and had her come back next season to voice Maylene?
Oh and the 10th Anniversary Special was heartwarming. The way they replaced those voice actors.
Nothing says '10 years of Fun, success, and hard-work' like a "Get out, you're replaced"
