Top Ten Things that 4kids Did When They Dub Anime

For nostalgia every 90s kid loves 4kids Pokémon even if they changed things. Look they would never ever show the Porygon episode, just watch a parody in The Simpsons when they go to Japan.

Don't vote if you grew up with 4kids Anime or say Anime isn't a cartoon. (Japanese - Animation)

This is stupid. If they considered themselves as for kids, then show kids actually child friendly shows! Not pick up violent anime or hentai ones just to ruin them

They ruined Kirby: Right Back at Ya for me.

Sucked into another dimension, they say. But when the kid looks It up and found the original version online, It turns out that the character was killed.

Thank goodness the didn't dub death note because I would had to deal with this nonsense

Just like the shadow realm in yu gi oh but I kinda did like the consept though

Imagine if they dub Death Note. They would probably make the deaths into the note of people that disappear. They would turn the deaths into disappearence. And I bet the voices will sound to kiddy and annoying to be in such a serious anime like Death Note.

The funny thing is that most kids hate them.

One Piece had a big problem with this

They actually do this a lot

I heard that Ichigo from Tokyo mew mew was cute and innocent on the original anime version. And with Mew mew power, as Zoey, she was turned into loud and annoying.

Oh god... I remember in the one piece 4 kids thing... Ussop... They turned him into some ' idiot that sounds like he just restocked the candy in his van

Especially the One Piece 4Kids dub had some of the worst voices ever. They should hire people that actually do good voices, not a bunch of random people that cannot act.

What was the anime with the worst voice acting(Japanese)? Whatever It was, It has better voice acting than all the shows 4Kids have(their dub versions)

I can imagine what would happen to that Homura Akemi vs Mami Tomoe fight from Madoka Magica:Rebellion If they dare to take Madoka Magica and ruin It. Instead of having an epic gun fight, They made them use pink staffs that shoot glitter beams(or something like that) and make the setting look like cotton candy and rainbows. And they'd be smiling and the fight was because they were just "training their powers"(In the real version, It was actually a fight, not training). And the time Homura shot herself will be edited and the blood on Homura's face because of that into strawberry/blueberry kool aid that was splashed on her face. And the time where Homura tried to shoot Mami will be cut.

I would like from curiosity to dub and make elfen lied into a kid show

That gun fight is epic. I don't want a 4kidsdub to ruin it.-KyokoKuchisakeSuccubi

I liked some of their openings. Sometimes the reason why they change it because copyright can change, or they weren't allowed to use the original and English dub it in the first place.

Kirby: Right back at ya at least had a good opening

The worst is the one piece

Jam filled doughnuts.
But anyway we know the weren't

Nothing beats a jelly filled donut!

Soundtrack and audio effects does make a good impact when comes to make an epic or hilarious scene in anime, there's also the moments where the sound is NOT even required and still makes an impact.

In soem cases from 4Kids adaptations, they do use some unecessary and repetitive sound effects that manages to kill a good scene. One good example is the anime adaptation of Monster Rancher, where there's a lot of times they do use the VERY same soudntrack is ALMOST all episodes. What is the poitn of that?

Soundtracks are actually an important aspect in anime(on my opinion). Especially when they suit the situations a lot. So why replace them with stuff like elevator music or just random sounds?

Those sounds like words which can hear in a kindergarten or elementary school

And most people hated this idea. AniplexUS and FUNimation(my favourite dubbing companies by the way) didn't do this. As they kept the characters with their canon original names(sometimes, they use the english pronoun of the name. Like example If Lelouch from code geass was pronounced "Rurushu" in the japanese due to the accent, the english dub simply made It "Lelouch" instead. But still uses the canon name the original creators gave). While 4Kids changed the characters name which angers most of the original anime's fans.

Imagine if 4kids has Deadpool

Wait, they don't swear in 4kids

Don't repeat that!

What things do toddlers learn from dubbed animes;

Jack Levin (F-Zero Gp Legend): Who the F-Zero changed my order of glass of banana juice into sippy cup version! I’m 20 something years old for crying out loud!

No! Don't do that! How about pajamas instead?
