I still love 4Kids so much and I don't care what those stupid haters says about it.
4Kids will definitely coming back from the dead this year and that's final.
Please come back to us, 4Kids for the sake of all fans and mine.

13:11 Give credit where it’s due…it was mostly the anime….plus we kinda had a taste of his Manga personality in the Orichalcos Arc where he and Kaiba buy a Car where Mokuba straight up says: “What does it look like? We’re buying it!”

all man 4kids truly brings
back so many memories
for me.
when in 1th grade
through 5th grade watching
the various shows and animes
that was on the block for the time.
such as
chaotic,
yu gi oh dual monsters,
dinosaur king,
sonic x,
magi nation and
my personal favorite
tmnt 2003
and along with so many other's
as a kids who grew up with 4kids
from back in the day i got to say
4kids truly made a lot of piss poor
decisions from throughout its time.
such as making shady decisions
and not thinking thing's through
from within the various moments
time and time again.
and the beagle elephants
in the room the censorship
and editing of multiple shows
to truly make it kid friendly
along with so many other
things to truly mention.
but all in all what really killed 4kids
is a amalgamation of multiple things
from behind the scenes
and the business practices itself.
but still 4kids truly has made
a generation of anime fans
from without a shadown doubt.
and this is the final thing I will say
yep this is a perfect summary of
the rise and fall of 4kids in a nutshell
this is a pretty good video
keep up the good work.

If I may ask, please, is the still of Naruto holding an apple and a Doraemon lunchbox at 11:08 real or was it made as a joke?
