Oh wait, you were talking about it having a decent plot and good music.  Silly me, I thought adventures and fights were normal on any TV show.  Wait a minute...  THEY ARE!!  THEY'RE THE BARE NECESSITY FOR *ANY* SHOW TARGETED ABOVE 4-YEAR OLDS!!
@onyxsbane  You're right, i might have actually enjoyed that show if not for 4kids.
Sure, there's the occasional c**p or d****t, but, those can be replaced easily.  They DIDN'T have to change EVERY LINE THERE WAS!!  Also, my parents allow anything kirby, nothing wrong with it.

Kirby is aimed for like 5-10 year olds, but these other Japanese shows... *whistles* Jeez...

no.  the 4kids kirby is aimed for 1-4 year olds to please adults.  JAPANESE is aimed for 6-11 year olds.

Here's the problem with dubbing:

In Japan, kids can see much more stuff that we consider "inappropriate for children," i.e. swearing, blood in big amounts, and...obscene content.

In America, those things are adult-only topics, but the anime is still marketed as a kid's show. Therefore, they must dub it AND censor it. That's fine, but it can make HUGE plot holes, and sometimes ruin it as a whole. That's bad enough to an anime fan, but people like 4Kids LOAD it with American propaganda. That's enough for an average viewer to keel over and puke blood.

doesn't japan have stricter policies?


that's what i picked up from the censoring of video games


btw that's totally untrue. i know a ton of kids in 3rd grade and stuff what watched scream, south park, played CoD and Halo, listened to Emimen, etc

Why such a big deal about 4Kids? I'm just like the rest of you, I think their shows are really lame, but do you really have to make such a big deal about their anime dubs? If you don't like them, just look for a subbed or a better-dubbed version, instead of hating on 4Kids so much about it. Who cares if they tweaked the names a bit? I don't. I think people that worry about stupid things, like this, are nerds. If you really hate it so much, why don't you just keep your mouth shut from talking about it. The more you talk about it, the more it seems you do like it, so just stop. Find a channel with better anime dubs if you hate them so much.

But it wasn't MEANT for them. The dubbers say that "everything should be kid-friendly". Sure, you see little 8-year olds playing CoD, but was CoD MEANT for 8-year olds? No. That's what you fail to see.

Exactly! Another intelligent statement from agscratcher! +1,000 No, seriously, that was a very good point you made!

Not losing IS winning, so like why not just SAY win?

And what's with name edits. lolololol

You mean Lololo.

I am not a fan of anime or manga anyway, and I don't even have 4kids.

  I remember ACA (AKA VolkerX7XFish) made a topic about this in I&M.

That's what they would want us to believe.

I live in a world where I am rufflebee and werdna is puppetadventurer and you are..

Oh wait.

I am Blade-Edge

hah, the kirby anime...
that thing that made kirby look like some kind of stupid monster-thingie...
i don't car alot 'bout this, but, hey, it's 4kids, they will do ANYTHING that must not be done!
they gave Kracko the sword ability!
they made Rocky HORRIBLE (seriously, it actually looks very cute in the game)
what they do is ruining things, and that's it.

Well, actually, the original japanese did that, and, if you're talking about the demon beast from when kirby originally discovered stone, that was supposed to NOT be rocky.  That demon beast's actual name was blocky.  elsewhere, i'm not sure.  also, watch that kracko/sword type thing again.  Did you notice it was a sword made of lightning?  no.   you didn't.  Also, about what you called kirby...  he's a star warrior.  not sure what 4kids called them,  and frankly, i know they ruined it even without that knowledge, but let me assure you, 4kids made NO footage.  only edits and dubbing.
