One Piece was a fucking tragedy and no one can ever deny that
On the other hand, I love how much effort they put into localizing Pokemon, from jokes to decent voice acting to making completely original songs (some better than the Japanese).
Sure, there were a few hiccups like pic related, but they did their hardest and best regardless, and you could really feel the VAs slowly becoming the characters themselves./blog

No, they get a terrible reputation for changing a bunch of shit and over-localizing to a massive degree.

to be fair to 4kids they pretty much had one piece forced on them by Toei who desperately wanted to bring one piece into the US with the success the other Shōnen Jump anime adaptations were having at the time.
these dubs right here
They did some good music themes.
One pieces theme was catchy and yugiohs was a masterpiece.

These ones
I really enjoyed the dub of Yugioh GX. It was a lot of fun.
>>145839835
They were all honestly the same to me as a kid. Probably YugiOh. One thing I hated about 4kids shows was the dramatic music they always used, especially before commercials.
>>145845817
there's actually a story behind that jamie's 4kids VA told that 4kids kinda screwed them out of a paycheck by using voice clips instead of using them for advertising thus not having to pay them for new work thus cutting them out of advertizing bucks.

It's dumb as hell, but laser chainsaw is the greatest edit they've ever made.
I wonder what all those laser blasts and light sabers feel like. Obviously they don't kill things, is it more or less a blunt stick or a rubber bullet?

>>145840496
Congratulations, you get it. No one gave a shit about them until they fucked with One Piece.
>>145840496
This, what I liked about 4kids is that they took Japanese anime and turned them into American cartoons that American children could enjoy in their way. One Piece was great with 4kids until Funimation got it and did their own dub. Now the only people who enjoy it are weebs who don't see the irony when they say that 4kids didn't convey enough accuracy to the source material from a dub of all things.
>>145849335
Not really true, the YGO community has been shitting on them since the dawn of time, and any old anime fans who grew up with proper localizations shat on them too.
>>145849471
The way I see it, a dub should get creative if the joke or something wouldn't work with the gaijin audience. While being unfaithful might been see as them shitting the original product interesting could come about because of the deviation.
One of the things I can't stand in dubs though is shoving pop culture reference or memes into shit. It's fucking dates the product horribly and I hate when nips do it too.
>>145846884
I love texan/southern accent dedede fuck you if you think otherwise.
>>145849624
The entire finale was lame for that series.
>>145840496
but muh invisible guns!
Ultimate Muscle was hilarious. Its humor perfectly lined up with 4Kids' zany vocal direction. I think they even had some dirty jokes in there.
I personally think there were very few problems with the 5D's dub, and many of the Zexal voices (though done by 4Kids' remnants, 4K Media after a few episodes) were above average in quality. Although they seem to have regressed into goofiness with Arc-V.
Sonic X may have been even worse than One Piece. Mainly because of Tails, Chris, and the music.
Ok guys how about this banger?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTHsOSGJHN0
>>145853959
If I remember right they didn't fully dub Yugioh GX.
>>145854056
The difference is that original Sonic X had Chris and Tails while original One Piece was actually good.

False, most of their dubs were shit and that includes Yugioh. Shitty dubbing practice like random edit, the inability to take any scene remotely seriously, pointless jokes, and changes to the dialogue for no real reason even affected their best dub, Pokemon. I remember watching the Yugioh sub and dub side to side and it amazes me just how much pointless changes they made. Their would be a legitmately funny joke in the original, so I decided to see how the dub handled it, and they completely changed it. Its the little things.
I hope no one took your post seriously.
Any opinions on the Tokyo Mew Mew dub? I actually liked it as a kid.
>>145849455
>This, what I liked about 4kids is that they took Japanese anime and turned them into American cartoons that American children could enjoy in their way.
That's nice but no one asked for a company to change a anime that was already pretty appealing to western audiences into something its not. I just want them to do what a dubbing company should do, translate it.
>One Piece was great with 4kids
No it wasn't. Go fuck yourself. That thing is only enjoyable to watch 10 years after the fact when you remember that 4kids actually dubbed One Piece.
>Now the only people who enjoy it are weebs
One Piece has a bigger fanbase now in the west then it ever did under 4kids. Fucking kill yourself.

Pretty much this. That shit is classic.

>>145849455
Tell me something sweetheart, why mexico got most of the big shows like dragonball (all 3 series), sailormoon, saint seiya, mazinger from the japanese versions and didnt bother to mexicanize them and others, and even some that were not likely to be dubbed other than the US edits but mexico went the extra mile and got the originals instead like Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon?
the only mexicanized dub was Koni Chan, and EVEN THEN, they still kept the japanese music, and the only censorship was done by the broadcasting channels that aired the show on south america minus the chilean channel ETC.
>>145858137
Please learn proper syntax on your second language.
Why does some Mexican nigga always have to come out to talk about uncensored Mexican dubs when we're discussing American dubs? Jesus man.

>>145841810
Came here to post this.
>>145840496
Yes and no bro. Many of the dubs had had certain small adult references that 4kids would censor the hell out of and then there's the whole trying to Americanize the dubs, which i could understand, Anime was still new to many young Americans where. I think 4kids's problem was that they began dubbing shows that were not totally meant for little children who just expected to get stupid Saturday morning entertainment. Pokemon was perfect for 4kids. Action packed but not violent or full emotionally gripping scenes or long story arcsand that wasn't what One Piece and Dragonball Z were.

People like 4Kids unironically beyond Their TMNT series? I mean yeah, like 2 of their Pokemon OPs were good, but beyond that, they were always shit. Even the strong nostalgia I have for the early Pokemon dub will never change that, all of their dubs are shiteven Ultimate Muscle, I'm honestly surprised so many people liked that one.
