[@MediaSenseiOG]

Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed! Do you think it actually exists or do you think they just sat on the license and did nothing with it for the years they had it? I'm still kinda undecided on the whole thing

[@ArthurTRead]

@@MediaSenseiOG I like to think they did something. I mean Toei was going to make a Hannah Montana anime and while it was cancelled shortly after, they did at least make animation tests and character designs even though it was in their future series plans for such little time. I think all we need is someone to actually contact an ex-4kids employee and ask for proper confirmation, but I'm hopeful that some sort of dub test exists.

[@mightyfilm]

Unless it was covered in another video, there's also the case of the three pitches 4Kids had for TMNT after Fast Forward failed as a toyline. The first one being close to the concept of "Back to the Sewers" where the Turtles scoured cyberspace for missing data pieces of Splinter, up against a Cyber Shredder, but in the pitch version the show would have been entirely that plotline and the Turtles would be paired up with obnoxious baby versions of themselves. The second one was based on the Superhero universe Mikey got transported to in a multi-dimensional story arc. This one would have been accompanied by a digital internet TCG that 4Kids was trying desperately to make a thing (basically what they did with Chaotic). And then the third option was just rebooting the entire thing, but closer to what Archie Comics did (or at least what the fandom perceived would be the case). Something, unlike the original comics the 2K3 series was based on, that would have had all the popular Archie and 87 cartoon mutants. I believe that they intended to put all three pitches up on their website and you could have voted for each concept, but it never came to pass and they just did Back to the Sewers.

[@bluebaron6858]

Fastinaiting. So much meddling for that TMNT show later on

[@MediaSenseiOG]

It wasn't covered but I have indeed heard about this. I would've loved to have seen some of those, especially since I wasn't the biggest fan of back to the sewers

[@mightyfilm]

@@MediaSenseiOG It all tracks back to the major problem with Fast Forward, and how Playmates basically goaded 4kids into changing the show's format to sell new toys, since the line kinda struggled with the show not having the collectible mutants the 87 series had. And so eager to change the format, they aired Fast Forward before the actually completed season 5 of the show. Back to the Sewers was this weird compromise that turned it into a transitional show, as the toyline now moved to the 2007 movie and their character designs, and Back to the Sewers toys were going to be Cyber variants of the movie action figure line. And those didn't even get released.

[@DBZAOTA482]

​@MediaSenseiOG Another fun fact: 4kids never actually wanted anything to do with One Piece, because they knew the show's content wasn't appropriate for their target audience. It was forced upon them by Toei as part of a package deal for two other shows they actually wanted to dub (Kinnikuman Nisei and DoReMi) because they wanted OP to air on broadcast television where it can reach a wider audience and didn't care how badly it had to be butchered, they desperately wanted OP to be a hit in North America since its their golden child. Al Kahn was specifically interested in acquiring the OP license since he knew how popular it was in Japan, despite many of his staff being against it.

[@LillyWhiteFairy]

I still remember when the Saturday cartoon thing was "fox box" early on. It was when they played a bunch of my favourites like kirby RBAY, muscle ultimate, NINJA TURTLES, sonic x, that weird but fun lovable fighting food show, and many more. Everything was amazing. Until suddenly after a while they started calling it "fox box, 4kids TV" which "coincidentally," was when the Saturday cartoons started to go downhill. First thing I noticed aside from the name change, they started this annoying bias where they'd do two episodes of wynx and bratz side by side while not giving other shows like ninja turtles or kirby the same treatment. It's like they developed a bias for those shows. Sonic X also for whatever reason wasn't being played anymore despite their constant claims it "would next weekend!" (Which felt more like they made sonic go to get milk) even as a kid I knew something was screwy. Then later the name was just "4kids" without any sign of the VASTLY superior fox box name. This was when the Saturday cartoons were completely ruined. They not only removed many of the old classics they had during the box era but replaced them with trash like "will and do it" (that show was an eyesore...) At that point, I lost all interest in the Saturday cartoons. Rip.

What's really baffling about 4Kids is that they have this weird Westernization policy where if a show isn't set in the West, they will go out of their way to Westernize that show to oblivion. It doesn't matter if it's food, a building, or even a character's name. They will erase ANY link that show has with Japan. Even after they went bankrupt and were rebranded as 4Kmedia in the 2010s, they still continued this practice. Examples include renaming character names for no god damn reason like Yugo to Hugo or Yuzu to Zuzu in Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. These character's names are absolutely fine as they were and aren't hard to remember or pronounce, but they changed them anyway because they didn't sound American enough.

Well...I guess it all depends on the localizer's philosophy. Some wish to preserve as much of the original translation as possible, while others strive to iron out all foreign oddities to make the show feel as natural as possible to the audience. While I do think some of 4Kids's edits have been silly and sloppy over the years, I think most of them have been acceptable. The edits done to One Piece though went WAY overboard to the point where the localizers had to become censors in order to lower the age rating for each and every episode.

I have a theory about the Pretty Cure 4kids dub. I believe that it was not fully made and that probably only a pitch was made. My theory is that they were going to make it but after the pitch was not successful they decided to sit on the ip for as long as they can do no other studio at the time would be able to make their own especially during this time it was becoming popular. So by the time they are not able to hold on to the rights to the show the popularity has already died down. They may in the end lose out on making any money and have waisted the money spent doing nothing but in 4kids eye they see it in the long run that no one else made money. I heard that this practice is fairly common in these industries and I believed that this is something they have done before and was documented somewhere.

I have some details about GoGoRiki: One of the producers of the original Russian version actually tried reaching out to 4Kids to buy the rights to GoGoRiki, but nothing came of it. The third dub of the series produced in Canada (after BalloonToons, before the current KikoRiki dub) uses the current names for the characters for voice lines, but the GoGoRiki names for localized text (minus the "riki"), an example being an episode where Losaysh and Kar-Karych play 8 ball GoGoRiki was also aired in Canada on YTV, with episodes exclusive to that network (one being the first episode of the series, The Bench). It also aired on PopUK, but with episodes aired as one instead of three The French dub of KikoRiki was based off of GoGoRiki, with episodes of that being found that the English version lacks, like OlgaRiki's quotable quotes

[@Neganium]

That Precure segment reminds me a little of the old rumor of a very early Detective Conan dubbing attempt that was going to make its way to Fox; I've seen a few things around mentioning it, and even people claiming to have seen a pilot, but there's no real evidence that anything ever came to fruition; it's not impossible that they _tried,_ though, bc there was at least one magazine scan mentioning it. I don't remember the details but I'm sure it could be found easily enough if you look in the right places, or ask the right people; I don't know if it was 4Kids specifically, but I mean, who else could it have been at the time? I kind of wonder how a 4Kids dub would've even worked, with a series that was a lot more obviously oriented towards an older audience... Localization couldn't have been any worse than what we _did_ end up getting, with the 2000's Funimation "Case Closed" dub, which... as far as localizations go, from what I've seen, wasn't actually all that bad. It's just that it did the series a _huge_ disservice, since the series is very culturally Japanese, making certain things difficult, if not impossible, to pass off as anything else. As for trying to dumb it down for children... yeah no I don't see that being a successful endeavor at _all_ LMAO.

I'll put in a request for a lost media promo... "One Piece: Secrets of the Seas". It was a special day where they asked One Piece trivia questions that you could answer online to unlock some desktop goodies. One very infamous question has basically made the whole National Anthem thing strike again with its ridiculousness - The question was, "Who gave Luffy his lucky red hat? Was it Usopp, Shanks, or Sonic?" That's how it went - the right answer, one that you'd only know is wrong if you were paying attention, and a completely incorrect answer relevant to a different show. 4Kids Flashback uncovered another promo, "What martial art does Zolo practice? Is it Santoryu, Kung Fu, or Furyoku?" and in the last bit, Zolo's head turns into Yoh Asakura from Shaman King. I recall seeing one on Michael L. Grant's Winx Club site, but it's gone now, and stupid me forgot to archive it. "What is Nami's position on the Merry Go? Is it Navigator, First Mate, or Headmistress?" in the last frame she's dressed like Headmistress Faragonda from Winx Club. I do recall one asking what Usopp's pirate team is named, and one choice was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Pirates" and it had the Veggie Pirates looking like the TMNT, with masks and weapons and whatnot. I really hope the latter two can be found.

4Kids never really could get a good magical girl license, probably they wanted to snag one given Sailor Moon's success in the US thanks to the DiC/Cloverway dubs from back in the day as well as the toyline produced alongside it. Like someone else said part of the reason for Mew Mew Power's general failure was that they couldn't find a good partner to sell merch based on the series, I actually remember in terms of ratings the show didn't do THAT bad so the merchandise reason is probably why the dub never completed its full run. Some dubs in other countries based on the 4Kids version actually DID manage to cover the whole 52 episode series, as crazy as that sounds. (French and Hebrew for example) These ones had to come up with their own thing to keep the series in line with the 4Kids edits. Their dub of Ojomajo Doremi (known as Magical Doremi) was slightly more successful in this regard, I actually do recall watching this one and they did manage to secure merchandise rights, there's a commercial for it up on KZbin. They never finished this one either though, and I think both of these not catching on like they hoped is why they never got to dub PreCure, at least partially.

Were they afraid of getting stomped by a kaiju or something? Was someone at 4Kids a closet Ultra-fan? Incidentally I heard a rumor back in the day that the only reason they licensed Ultraman Tiga at all was because there was an Ultraman reference in the Kirby anime and they didn't want it to fly over kids' heads (or alternatively they thought the reference would get kids interested). I doubt this is really the story though.
