Top Ten Animes 4kids Should Never Dub
Feel free to add any anime you like and think that 4Kids should never ruin ^ ^
Death Note is a Japanese television drama anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
The show is centered around Light Yagami - a promising highschooler and aspiring detective with a strong sense of "justice". How would Death Note, a show that involves a lot of, well, death, even get a dub for kids? Plus didn't the English dub air on Adult Swim for a brief time in the U.S.? So how would it even get a dub on a kid's television program when literally 99% of the show involves a fair amount of mature themes and characters in addition to some rather gruesome deaths? What would they call the Death Note? Sleep Note? Travel Note? Pocket Note?
Imagine how ridiculous It would sound in 4Kids The whole death note thing would be turned into some book that can make people 'fall asleep'
Most of these anime are either too violent or too mature to get a 4Kids dub.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is a Japanese anime television series directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, with screenplay written by Masaki Tsuzuki, and produced by Seven Arcs. If MGLN was dubbed by 4Kids then it would be renamed to Magical Girl Lyrical Nora.

Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014. It is best known for its emotional moments, apocalyptic setting, and its dramatic story line, and action packed scenes. Changes if they ever did it:
- The gore and the blood will be censored definitely in each scenes.
- The huge Titans will be heavily censored to their top and bottom bodies.
- Eren's mother being eaten by a Titan will be replaced by "kidnapping".
- All the swords in their inventories to their suits will be substituted by babyish swords.
- The epic soundtrack of this series will be replaced by cheesy, orchestral and awful music as you can hear in Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V.
- The apocalyptic, survival to the death, conflict, war of the Titans and destruction of the village tone will be reduced to save the world and friendly theme.
- Emotional moments will be boring.
And the list goes on. :/
Soul Eater is an anime series directed by Takuya Igarashi and produced by Bones, Aniplex, Dentsu, Media Factory, and TV Tokyo, which adapts the Soul Eater manga written and illustrated by Atsushi Ohkubo. Death the kid's obsession with symmetry would be changed to shape loving...
Yeah, Soul Eater should never be dubbed amd have its contents modified in a cheesy way.
I'm terrified If they'd ever dub this
Cowboy Bebop is a 1998 anime television series animated by Sunrise featuring a production team led by director Shinichirō Watanabe, screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, mechanical designer Kimitoshi Yamane, and composer Yoko Kanno.
Boku no Pico is an anime series of three OVA episodes created by Katsuhiko Takayama. It was released to DVD on September 17, 2006. Okay guys let's be realistic here: Boku no Pico from what I understand is basically hentai and while 4kids may be an infamous dubbing company (from what I can understand) they wouldn't be dumb enough to dub a hentai anime for children as it could get them into serious trouble with the law as well as having to pay lots of money to suers.
3 episodes, get rid of all the inappropriate bits which is the whole episode. So a completely different Anime.
It would literally just be 1 millisecond of pure black screen.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny is an anime television series, a direct sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED by Sunrise and the overall tenth installment in the Gundam franchise. It retains most of the staff from Gundam SEED, including Director Mitsuo Fukuda.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is a Japanese mecha anime television series that premiered in 2002. Part of the larger Gundam franchise, the show focuses on a future where Earth and space colonies are in conflict, exploring themes of war and human evolution. It has been praised for its intricate plot, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED enjoys a large fan following and has spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an anime series adapted from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga by Hiromu Arakawa. One of the greatest animes being ruined would make more people hate 4Kids, but If you think about It the more hate 4kids get, the closer they are to their end
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, written by Gen Urobuchi, music by Yuki Kajiura, opening sang by ClariS, ending by Kalafina (sometimes by the seiyuus) and original characters by Ume Aoki. Well, the real dub by Aniplex is also aired on a kids channel(forgot what channel) and they didn't censored the violent scenes, blood or death scenes. Except maybe the train scene since It has some slight sexism undertones in it. Oh well, at least It was aired prime time, but why rated PG? I thought at least PG-13 or follow the T.V.-14 rating It has on other places would suit better
Magical Molly would be a funny prank, but they'd just screw It and make It into a sailor moon clone, and all the edgy and dark elements would be gone
Its was shown on abc3 which is now abcme but it was shown around 10:00 at night on fridays
Love Live! School Idol Project is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise. 4kids would definitely whitewash the whole show and it'll be terrible

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, often referred to as simply Code Geass, is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise, directed by Gorō Taniguchi, and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, with original character designs by manga authors Clamp. Imagine what would it sound like with puns 4kids
Kill la Kill is an anime television series produced by Trigger. In Kill la Kill, Ryuko Matoi transfers to a new high school in order to find her father's murderer. No way in hell would I tolerate 4kids dubbing Kill la Kill.
They would have called it "Bully La Bully"!
