4Kids Files for Bankruptcy!!!

Finance is currently reporting that North American media distributor 4Kids Entertainment has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. The publicly-traded company had previously stated that it might file for bankruptcy protection after TV Tokyo and Nihon Ad Systems (NAS) filed a lawsuit lawsuit over its Yu-Gi-Oh! anime license.The lawsuit accused 4Kids of underpaying the Japanese licensors and of conspiring with North American anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment to hide income from the sale of Yu-Gi-Oh! DVDs in order to avoid paying royalties.

@waddlerobloxxxx Kirby wasn't ruined, it was much better than the Original considering they followed Masahiro Sakurai's rules when the Japanese version didn't.

FCC regulations are to thank for this. if they were not such dicks to good work for "the safty of childeren" 4kids would have lasted longer then it is. lets hope the have a better saturday morning cartoon block because we need MORE!

@EdgeShed5853 At least your country have Kids WB. All we have is 4Kids for Saturday Morning Block.

I'd be lying if I said 4kids didn't suck at dubbing anime, but I can at least get a good laugh at how ridiculous the voices and edits are.

[EdgeShed5853]

@jasonlin1216 In my country, Australia, they have an hourly segment on GO! (TV channel). It's just too bad that they didn't get any good shows other than Ben 10: Alien Force and Batman: Brave and the Bold.
