Why is 4kids hates

This infamous scene from Primape Goes Bananas didn't make sense even when it was first aired. What the heck kind of donuts are those? Brock claims that "These donuts are great. Jelly filled are my favorite," when they are clearly neither jelly-filled nor donuts. Similar to the previous entry, this is a case of 4Kids expecting their target audience to be completely clueless on foreign cuisine.

Instead of leaving the giant rice ball in and trying the donut approach again, they decided that a full animation edit was needed and swapped it out for a giant sandwich instead. In the same episode, Team Rocket are fighting over the a lone rice ball that needs to be shared among the four of them, and this was changed out for a single Saltine.

While hilarious, it also makes the scene way more depressing knowing that a single cracker is all they have to eat. Team Rocket really needs to get a better job! This one is less funny and more keeping in line with cultural sensitivity. Let's get one thing straight: blackface is considered highly offensive throughout America, but significantly less so in other countries. It's understandable that 4Kids would want to change this. However, unlike with another case of blackface in Jynx, whose design coloration was changed forever because of the controversy, Mr.

Popo from Dragon Ball Z got a different treatment. This edit of his coloration makes it look like he's been exposed to too much radiation from Kame's Lookout and is glowing bright blue. The original series of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Cards like Monster Reborn featuring the Egyptian Ankh and Foolish Burial with its crucifix tombstone sparked a few issues with the religiously inclined within 4Kids. While the changes are more artistic than anything else, it's funny to consider that 4Kids thought that kids from the United States, which notably has one of the biggest Christian demographics in the world, would take offense to religious iconography in their cartoons.

The one in particular would be when Cosmo sacrifices her life to allow Super Sonic and Super Shadow to fire the power cannon. Tails couldn't bring himself to fire the cannon, however, and that's where the major difference lies.

Watch the 4Kids edit, and then the Japanese original, and you'll see how much of a travesty the editing was. More topics from this board Mickey, Donald or Goofy? Keep me logged in on this device.

User Info: cheatermaster cheatermaster 9 years ago 1 I heard people I don't know how many I assume most people, but if not then some people hate 4kids for some reason.

The question is why does who knows how many people hate 4kids? If you have been with the anime game for awhile, you may have heard of 4Kids Entertainment. The company had its heyday back in the s as it became a go-to place for dubbed anime. The brand helped put Pokemon on the map along with shows like Yu-Gi-Oh before its final shutdown in And now, the Internet is taking a moment to remember the company for all its pluses and pitfalls.

As you can see below, the whole thing began when a Twitter user asked netizens at large what they thought about 4Kids. It was there thousands responded with their fond or not-to-fond memories of the company. After all, 4Kids Entertainment did do some heavy-handed retconning of series due to censorship or even localization reasons.

So you can imagine how the brand rubbed fans the wrong way.
