Who here hates 4Kids dubs?

[Barashin]

I don't like dubs of anime, but I also don't think anything was ruined. We still have subs and raws of all these shows. Just watch them. The fact is these shows bring in revenue, or at least they used to, to bring more shows out here.

you don't think anything was ruined? how could you even say such a thing? I do agree that these shows bring in revenue, but I also believe in showing respect to it's original material. Subs and raws are one thing, but if they worked on a show I made, I'd expect them to do it justice, not **** it up, and to think that they poked fun at its native language?...I just don't know man, that's WAY to much...that's plain disrespect dude

Then don't watch the dubs. You might find this wacky, but the Japanese companies know exactly what happens to the shows here. In some cases they promote the changes for the US audience.

What it comes down to is free will. Just chose not to watch them. It's like the people that say Power Rangers ruins sentai. I used to be one of those people, but I was wrong. Power Rangers helps bring in new toku fans. It also is something we can chose not to watch if we do not like it.

Yes it does come down to free will, but me watching and completely ignoring the show ain't the case here. All I'm saying is that they have ruined, murdered the original material. Like PR ruins Sentai? This is more like the Masked Rider ruining Kamen Rider if you ask me. Masked Rider was just as horrid to watch and you think Ishinomori-san was pleased with the finished result? Yes they do promote the changes, but that doesn't mean it'll come out alright. Masked rider and the reaction it got is proof of this.

Has anyone mentioned yet that it was the Japanese that made 4Kids make the changes that were made to One Piece?

I know some of you hate what 4Kids is doing to your fave anime that you wish that the founders of this company would burn in hell for destroying every anime they would get in their hands. yeah, even Ultraman Tiga got destroyed too.

who here hates this company? just for fun.

Yeah, I know this is old but...


MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :castlerock:

 

[FreedomR8G6B1]

That seriously is fucked up! I wonder what they guys that made tiga thought about this. Who in the right mind would poke fun at it's original material? pisses me off just thinking about it. Some respect they showed...

Saw that episode when if first came out back in the day...man, it irked me. Considering that was one of the episodes of Tiga I watched in Japanese.

"They are speaking some kind of extraterrestrial language.":sly:

Hope they do so Disney can "steal" the Toei anime that was "ruined" by them.

I'm not even going to point out everything thats wrong there.

It was garbage. Period.

AND JAPANESE IS NOT AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL LANGUAGE!!!!!

Come on it was funny in the so bad its funny way. Like the Street Fighter Movie, except just not as hilarious. The whole Japanese as an alien language part made me "HAHA OH WOW".

So you're saying because a terrible version of the material exists, the original material is unwatchable? :eyebrow: "Murdering the original" isn't such a good analogy for the point you're trying to make. I get what you are saying, a bad adaptation can shut out the possibility of the original material/franchise being brought over.

Well I ain't saying it's unwatchable. Sry for not making it clear. All I'm saying is that, the shows like Tiga and One piece, and some others "were" ruined. The original material can always be enjoyed however, despite it being dubbed by a completely different company. I ain't saying the original is unwatchable, but you know where I'm getting at

I may come out as overreacting when I said, "murdering the original" however...it ain't far from the truth though, that it is. I'm no fan of tiga, or Ultraman for that matter, but horrible jobs such as this and some others, is very sad sight indeed..

Badly, 4Kids should get rid of it. Let Disney do it, not 4Kids.
