i fail to see any sense or reason in your post. are you against kids being entertained in any way, or maybe you think it should be a non profit organisation?

"4Kids (NYSE: KDE) is an American film and television production company specializing in the acquisition, production and licensing of children's entertainment around the world. They are most known for their acquired television programs." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4Kids_Entertainment)

these programs include such shows as one peice, yu-gi-oh, mew mew power, shaman king, pokemon, ninja turtles, ultimate muscle etc etc -

anything but crap, id say.

keep up the good work i say.

You know, your argument was flying until you actually mentioned some of these titles. Then I realised that they were doing a good job by dubbing the arsch end of the anime industry.

From what I remember of how I was as a kid, I would not have even countenanced watching any of these shows, with the exception of maybe One Piece. Tokyo MewMew/Mew Mew Power maybe later.

Are any of us likely to watch any of the titles 4kids release?

by **Mappy** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 12:40 am

Not in the form 4kids put them out, no. Well, not me, anyway. Of the originals, I've gone 45 episodes of One Piece, 15 of Tokyo MewMew and 3 of Shaman King.

Did I mention 4Kids and Funimation have been snapping up titles that are M/MA rated recently? They're spreading their reign of terror.

by **Mappy** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:41 am

As long as I get a version that is in Japanese with English subs, meh.

It's not like Funimation or 4kids affect us :whistling:

One would have once said that about ADV. Look what happened to them.

You're missing my point.

That's only because of the Internet and people not giving a damn about ultimatums from Funimation so far. With Funimation altering its target demographic and the titles they have acquired over the last 3-4 months, it would affect DVD purchasers. They can even stuff up subs, I know that from experience. It doesn't take much to ruin subtitles.

And if I missed the point again, bygones. It's past 2am and I spent the last 5 hours on the limit laws, level curves and partial differentials of dual variable functions.

no, but none of us are kids are we? (although we act like it sometimes

)
these shows are what i call 'kids anime' and introduce kids to 'real' anime...i have seen it happen with my own kid! and that is all good!

by **Atory** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 11:33 pm

Sure my preference is for "real" anime these days but I still watch a lot of 4Kids anime (usually reruns on Cartoon Network or FOX8) and I'm just about to turn 19. They remind me of when I was younger. I just don't like growing up.

Madman has a kid? Is he the only AJAS member with children?

by **Madman** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 11:40 pm

yeah i agree! i still dont mind watchin those shows. in fact i quite enjoy one peice and yu-gi-oh. and thru these shows my josh is now a huge anime fan!

It's a scary thought, that one such as he has been able to breed.

The thought that he has a kid suddenly reminds me of Kimura-sensei of Azumanga Daioh!

The smiley that bangs its head against the brick wall is going to get a good run on this forum, I can foresee....
