I don't really watch anime or read manga but when I was a kid I watched a whole bunch of 4Kids dubs. What were their best and worst dubs? And what are some of the strangest dubbing decisions they made?

Here's a thought for you. Is Funimation the new 4Kids?
>questionable localization
>unneeded censorship
>crappy dubs

>Is Funimation the new 4Kids?
Yes
Austin Moore
4Kids was as much of an animation company as it was a dubbing company.
Jonathan Sanchez
Literally nobody is the new 4kids.
John Ortiz
4Kids dubs were soul.
Ian Wright
they were literally the opposite
Benjamin Morales
We're getting close. All we need now is full on video edits and replaced theme music.
Hudson Ward
the one piece dub is infamous and is solely credited with one piece's lack of popularity in the west youtube.com
Hudson Nguyen
One Piece dub was shit, but the pirate rap was great.
Justin Torres
BAN BAN BAN BAN BA NA NA NA NA NAM
LOOK AROUND YOU.
LOOK BEYOND.
Jaxson Evans
Helmeppo's head-bapping machine is the GOAT 4kids alteration
Eli Bell
Excluding two or three examples, they were dry, soulless garbage.
Fuck off with your rose tinted glasses, nostalgiafag.
Angel Hughes
Didn't Funi make Popo Blue in Kai?
Andrew Cruz
Censoring rice balls across almost all their shows EXCEPT One Piece to make a vanilla ice joke
I'm serious
youtube.com
Austin Perez
Their dubs sucked but their original shows like Chaotic and the 2003 TMNT show were pretty good.
Gabriel Young
Fansubs need to return to its formal glory.
Jayden Richardson
>"They call me Vanilla Rice!
I don't get it. What do donuts have to do with rice?
Gabriel Brown
Considering Funi just fucking dropped Interspecies Reviewers midway, despite already having dubbed it, for content reasons? I think it's only a matter of time, at least for any ecchi shows.
Kayden Mitchell
no that was 4kids or toonzai or whatever they were called at that point
Andrew Thomas
The fuck was it with these companies and rapping
Matthew Hernandez
Fuck off
Jaxson Rivera
Fansubs were shit and I'm glad they're mostly gone.
Carson Anderson
Popo was blue in Funimation's Kai dub for CW4Kids and Nicktoons airing, but the DVD/bluray releases as well as the later airing on Toonami had Popo as black.
Xavier Morris
There's a reason why so many black guys in their 20s/30s in the US like anime now, and this is a big part of it.
Hudson Moore
I thought black guys just want to go Super Saiyan.
William Lewis
That must be why I'm getting anime with fansubs off AB, cause they're mostly gone.
lmfao
Carter Hughes
The GT rap pulled them in. They stayed for the powerlevels.
Zachary Bailey
Its turning into a lefty 4kids for teenagers.
Kayden Miller
If anything it's preferable to 4kids at least. I don't watch any of their dubs but I don't mind them.
David Turner
I like how people thought anime was doomed when 4kids was a thing and yet nothing happened.
Austin Taylor
People will find any reason to call doom and gloom, doomposters are inherently retarded.
Jaxon Gray
It is probably gone for English, but there is no anime translator in my country, so every anime is fansubbed in my language
Isaiah Gomez
So you'll settle with what Funi has to offer then?
Jaxson Taylor
Your favorite anime was localized by 4Kids.
What is the plot?
Kevin Miller
A silly prankster makes people sneeze.
Ryder James
While people hated 4kids for a lot of things, honestly their dubbing was probably some of the most memorable stuff they did. Literally every anime fan knows Yami Yugi with his Dan Green voice and Joey with the Brooklyn accent.
Kevin Ortiz
Probably mostly the same but with name changes, badly dubbed songs and Leona would be an actual girl like in the korean dub
pic related is a boy
Julian Bailey
We're getting there?
has anyone that stupid patriarchy thing from Maid Dragon?
Hunter Morris
What's that even supposed to be?
Dominic Thompson
Still don't quite get why anyone flipped shit over a throwaway line like that.
Luke Cruz
Xavier Moore
4kids never pretended to be anything that it isn't. Funimation is garbage.
Juan Sullivan
Nicholas Perez
It's nothing to rage about.
But such things shouldn't be done. They removed a joke and replaced it with some political line no one ever asked for. Certainly something to be annoyed about, and enough to refuse to give them ANY money.
Jackson Parker
Austin Cook
i like the lengths they did too hide character deaths. like they did in sonic X.
Colton Peterson
shadow realm lmao
Nolan Brooks
Which is why I said it needs to return.
Nathaniel Powell
story behind this pic?
Samuel Brown
We were watching DBZ long before GT. Try 1999 Ocean Dub which was done by fucking Canadians. Don't let the liberal white sheltered SJWs fool you: black guys don't need to be pandered to before we invest in a series. Also fun fact: DBZ and SpongeBob were by far the most popular anime/cartoons among black households.
Chase Long
I used to think the shadow realm was the coolest fucking thing
Justin Turner
I don't think this would quite work
Xavier Lopez
Would KLK even change that much? Nobody dies in that shitty show in the first place.
Andrew Peterson
tl;dr attached
Landon White
KLK would get visually butchered more than anything and ryoko's dad would still be alive instead of killed. Someone even made a dumb youtube video called bully la bully joking about 4kids edits.
Tyler Martinez
>I'm so messed up...
James Diaz
>unneeded censorship
What are they doing now? All the stuff i've seen them do has been uncensored.
Nicholas Brooks
>2003 TMNT
Crazy how censor happy they were considering they're responsible for probably the edgiest iteration of TMNT to ever air on TV.
