WHERE COULD THOSE DEMANDS POSSIBLY BE COMING FROM!?!
Also, I am listening to the audio file back on page 1 and if I hear MANG-GA one…ARGHH! HE SAID IT AGAIN!
I'm sorry if someone already asked, but does anyone have the interview between AL Kahn and Anime News Network?
-

XD I think I've watched that flash every day for the last month (since I discovered it). Damn hallerious.

The original contnent for One Piece is wriiten for a Shoônen audience, young boys from ages 9-14 or so. But the thing is, in Japan their child appropriate series–when brought to the states--are more like teen age appropriate series.
Kahn needs to wake up and smell the coffee. In the west, the series he license (and I use that term lightly) should be aimed at a more western friendly audience (not really from my POV, I'd let my kids watch the unaltered content of OP) and that's where teens come in. Teenagers DO buy the merchandise, DVDs, collected comic volumes, etc.
I see no method behind Kahn's insanity when he dares to aim a series at a demograph oh-so-many have deemed to not be able to handle the original content of said series and further wastes his money by needlessly editing the content.

wow is kahn that stupid?

does he have any idea on how many people hate 4kids??He probably does, and I'm willing to bet he's the same person that said this on YouTube:
@Loser:
Nya I'm probably one of the few individuals on Earth that likes 4KIDS

Al kahn just love to do things without reason. Oda should base a villian of of Kahn so the strawhats can beat him up

I whole-heartily second that one.

lol who do u think spandam is?
-
Interesting, I always thought of Kahn as Helmeppo.
-
lol who do u think spandam is?
That can't be because sometimes spandam actually uses rationale and has some intelligence. He has reasons to do the things he does. Can't say the same for Al Kahn-artist
-
Lol I listened to that audio file.. he says "Kids don't know that these shows are from Japan, they think they're produced in America" and he says it like the kids are dumb, but the reason for this is infact because he cuts out every japanese reference.. I wonder, is he is actually so dumb that he can't see this or is he just lying?

YTV started an Anime on Demand service here in Canada, and it looks like One Piece and a bunch of other 4Shits dubs are gonna be on there.
And yeah, I've seen One Piece of crap a billion times.
-

Yep! Just like the article I pointed out. The Sonic X dub hack and such are going to be on Demand. It's scary that those dubs are still that popular. Not to badmouth anyone or anything, but a couple of my friends from school still watch the Sonic X dub. >_> Bet they'll be excited once they hear that it'll be on demand. Sigh.
-
Our on-demand service is going to be a fixed fee of $6.95 or so a month. It sounds like theirs is going to be pay-per-play.
Also, 4Kids isn't the only company that's gotten on board. It appears they're also hosting Inuyasha, Beyblade and others…
-
Stupid Kahn… He gets all these hatemails and he doesn't even bother to read them.

1. holy Kahn is ugly
2. Wow he's stupid, if they "don't read" then they can't use the interent. -
1. holy Kahn is ugly
2. Wow he's stupid, if they "don't read" then they can't use the interent.I think he meant that kids don't read books. "Kids from Japan read a 3,000 (referring to the 300 page Shonen Jump) page manga while young Americans walk around public with MP3 players." For the SJ manga, Kahn has either bad eyes/bad memory or that he's exaggerating to make the native kids look bad.

And the fact that Al Kahn can say all of that crap so casually in front of a large crowd just shows you how much of an ass he really is.
-
So, "Mangna" is a problem because kids don't read it is much…Yet kids just love those Harry Potter tomes. (Heck, I like them too.) The content doesn't matter too much, and is disposable? His garbage is what is remebered? I think Al Kahn doesn't like "Mangna" because he doesn't make profit off of it.

;shocked: You're right about that. If he knew that Viz is making more money off the "mangna" than his anime, why won't his employees (long word) change their ways of handling anime? They can seriously make a lot of money off of selling more uncuts.

Speaking of uncuts, did Funi make money from the uncut YGO and Shaman King or did 4KIDS make money? Or did they split?

FUNi produces the DVDs, you know, burns the stuff on to the discs, packages them, and sales them while the content is produced by 4Kids. So, they each make money off of them.

his manga speech
and he pronounced manga wrong hahaha
…yet I'm 15 and I read "main-gah".
-
They sold much better than the dubs, right?
-
Kahn's problem is he keeps trying to make everything he buys the next 'big thing in America' like he did with Pokémon. Remember when the first thirty-some odd episodes?? It felt Japanese, even in the dub version, but once it got popularity he sold out (even more-so) and ever since he's tried to westernize all his licenses just in the hope of making more money, which is why we have the crap that is his 'TV-Y7-FV' versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and One Piece, and Shaman King among other heavily altered shows. Seriously Viz, if you wanna boost the sales of the One Piece Manga, your best bet is to buy the Animé and release an unedited version on DVD and possibly Toonami.
-
I listened to that interview very carefully. And careful disemnation of the end of the speech made me think that Kahn was being cavailer about kids not reading. Once I got the feel of the speech, A poster appeared in my head on Al Kahn campaining for Childrens illiteracy.
Other thoughts…
"Mangna" came first, and anime is made from a succesful "mangna". So wouldn't anime be the one trying to put the square peg in the round hole?The products "ain't" free? Ain't ain't a word Kahn. The only people I hear using "ain't" are in shows that sterotype southerners and blacks. Shouldn't a CEO be able to speak with proper grammer?

Just heard it twice now since he talks kind of fast. Now Kahn saying America isn't a reading enviornment and never will be, doesn't that make you mad? Kids go to forums and IM programs interact with people. That requires reading. Like I said before, Kahn thinks kids are stupid, and it could be part of the reason why he lies to hardcore fans and have his little minions butcher anime to the bone.
Kids go to school to learn so they can be successful with their careers someday. Speaking of school, I've seen a lot of kids read Harry Potter and such. If kids today were stupid and can't read, many of them wouldn't be successful with their jobs when they grow up, right? You've just proved yourself wrong, Mr. Kahn!!

We have to do something about him. In Quexino's words: On Dragonball's case, the fans actually made a large protest. They didn't just sit around thinking it was useless.

We should spread the word wearing shirts with anti-4Kids messages such as "Save One Piece!" or "I'm not 4K!D_s_" using 4Kids's logo. :happy: I'll be wearing one out in public once I find a local store that makes those kind of shirts. ;) Anyone else agree?
-
hah that'd be cool
know what I REALLY wanna do? Become a waitress at some resturant Kahn visits. Then when he orders his food, give him something different and be like "Yeah we had to Westernize it…"... then.... ruin his car and say I Westernized it.. then his house.... then his...
okay you get it >.>
I like the idea of shirts... i think I'll look into that... can't get sued though.
-
I loved the part where he thinks Japanese kids sit on the subway and read a 3000 page mangna. Not only is there no such thing as a 3000 page mangna but it would be impossible to read that much on a subway especially with Japan's hyper fast subs.
I honestly wonder how that man can sleep at night.
-
In response to Kahn saying Kids can't read
It looks to me he is having a hard time reading the words on that coke drink. Other than that, I don't know why he has that expression on his face.
-

not really my own words but thanks for saying that =D
Nice to know Im making a bit of a difference.I listened to that interview once… the only thing I really remember is him saying something about how when his company gets a hold of anime they ahve to take out beer, cursing and "all the fun stuff"
even if that's true (which I guess it is) it doesn't mean they have to turn it into the crap that they do. It can be a good show without that stuff, 4kids just goes too freaking far.
or is this a different interview? -
No, this is the one which he went "kids don't read and manga is useless"
-
They sold much better than the dubs, right?
From what I hear, yes. But Kahn said they were delayed so they could milk the editted DVDs for all they're worth.
-
and cause Funi and 4kids split up
-
How did Toei EVER consent to 4kids getting OP's rights?!?!?
What were they thinking?!?!
-
@Master:

You know, you could just think that maybe they didn't know 4KIDS's reputation. Nobody knew the dub would be that bad.
-
My proposal over in the main 4kids threads about subbing the Crud Piece episodes and putting them on VHS then sending them to Toei and Shueisha still stands.
-
Is Oda aware of what 4kids is doing to One Piece?
-
We don't know for sure.
The anime is none of his concern, he could care less about the music changes.
Though someone's gonna be pissed about cruical storyline rapage.
-
Is Oda aware of what 4kids is doing to One Piece?
I've read a couple times on this forum from people that yes he does and he doesn't really care because it's making him money. If someone wants to tell me otherwise Im willing to hear. I'd love to hear if he said something for sure.

money talks.
