It's at the top right now on animenewsnetwork.com.

Hoo boy. I'm not a PreCure fan myself, but 4kids should simply NOT BE.

I was just looking up info on PreCure yeasterday and wondering why no one had licensed it yet. 4kids, didn't they license One Piece and screw that up?

4 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2006-02-25 00:33 ID:Heaven

Yes. It could have been so popular, too. They also screwed with Sonic X, Kirby, Tokyo Mew Mew... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4Kids

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PRECURE?!?!

6 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2006-02-25 10:38 ID:Heaven

It's like sailor moon all over again.

7 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2006-02-25 11:15 ID:Heaven

Will follow 500 posts of preemptive complaining even though there is nothing you can do about it since nobody who could prevent this cares.

8 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2006-02-27 03:27 ID:Heaven

This is absolutely nuts.

4Kids Laundry List:

  1. Change the names to something ditzy and American.
  2. Remove any references to sexuality.
  3. Hire the most obnoxious voice actors/actresses you can find.
  4. Change the title to something ditzy and American.
  5. Cut out entire episodes that don't fit the "grand strategy."
  6. Put it right beside the latest incarnation of Power Rangers on FOX Kids Saturday Morning Lineup at 6AM.
  7. Profit.

Yu Gi Oh GX theyve treated okay despite a few flaws namely the gay opening music.. lol

still fun to watch.. dub voices arent THAT bad... i think they are rather good for 4kids stuff.

You forgot a lot of them. They will also change the music, remove all the text, cut out the credits, air episodes in the wrong order (or just skip important ones), and will find innovative ways to rape your show.

>>11 More:

  • alcohol will become tea.
  • cigarettes will become candy sticks.
  • blood will be removed.
  • male homosexuals will become female.
  • lesbians will become cousins.
  • girls taking bath will do so in an added bathing suit
  • dialog will be added where there isn't any, to explain the obvious.
  • they will chop parts at random to make it fit into the shrinking time slot, to allow for more ad time.

good idea for a troll but perhaps not subtle enough?

16 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-03-05 06:47 ID:QvTPsYu8

It's like Mew Mew Power alllll over again

17 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-03-06 01:15 ID:NVYp5IA2

Hollywood Mew Mew.

18 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-03-06 15:42 ID:Heaven

It's not like the series they license were any good in the first place.

19 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-03-07 21:49 ID:8ZaMhI86

The problem with 4Kids is that they make the shows worse then they currently are so a good show becomes average and average becomes garbage..

20 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-03-10 14:53 ID:064QBK6U

>>19

so if they licensed My Otome and Fate Stay Night what is less then garbage, because these shows sure are garbage, soo would it make them super shite ?

I am preemptively laughing at the all-American drama that would ensue as soon as the "concerned parents" will point out that their children cartoon is adapted from an eroge.

Derrr!

lol 4kids

24 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-07 21:22 ID:Tf50FMKu

They haven't even done anything with it. I think they're gonna just lose it.

25 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-08 00:04 ID:HjPeuFJV

Maybe ADV will take it off their hands if Nanoha is a success.

26 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-08 03:36 ID:Heaven

>>25
Nanoha was licensed?

27 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-09 01:19 ID:HjPeuFJV

>>26
Yup, Nanoha and Nanoha A's. Whoops, it was actually Geneon that licensed it and not ADV. If it does get popular, imagine the cosplay in conventions next year. :3

Oh yeah, 4Kids is going under so it doesn't really make a bit of difference guys.

29 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-13 14:25 ID:Heaven
