Toei Animation / Funimation Entertainment (Version 1)

I wish Funimation would dub Hamtaro/Tottoko Hamutaro! It really needs another chance in the US! :/

@kjw21411 I agree. Hamtaro needs another chance in the US.

This is how it should be.

It makes you wonder, though: If Toei doesn't feel that well about fan videos, why don't they have their own You Tube Channel?

@SuperCartiel Simple. They want you to BUY their products.

@ForceMaximus84 A You Tube Channel would do wonders for Toei. It would promote their product more effectively than word of mouth, reinforce their copyrights better than threats to You Tube, and help establish their own beach-head for possible self-marketing. (Companies like Funimation do that for them whenever they pick up a license. They give up money when they do that. Eliminating the middleman would benefit Toei more in the long run.)
