*crosses fingers and hopes for bankruptcy*

Imagine if Funi got a hold of all those 4kids licenses...
Yugioh...
Pokemon...
Sonic X...
One Piece...

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

As much as 4Kids localizations can be terrible, isn't it a bit much to wish bankruptcy upon them? =/

The Pokemon license was already taken by Pokemon USA.
Funi already has the One Piece License.

So really, it's just Yugioh and Sonic X. Oddly enough, Funi is responsible for the Yugioh uncut episodes on the DVDs (Not sure which DVDs has 'em, but if you look on the box you'll find Funi's logo on it).

I knew this would happen eventually. Ever since Ebaum's original owner was thrown out of his own business, I just knew 4kids would be next.

As much 4Kids did ruin Yugioh in terms of plot and situations.  They still provided us awesome actors~

But you thought it. Everybody nowadays thinks that FUNimation is North America's Anime Messiah since they started picking up so many series from Geneon, ADV and so on.

Wait, what?

I live in the UK. I've never particularly cared who owns the license to publish what. Most of the stuff I want to watch never gets released over here anyway.

If that's the case, nevermind.

Yet, you as someone from the UK gets A LOT MORE ANIME than people on the European shore. I already imported several anime series from the UK because no one bothered to release them anywhere else in Europe.

I can understand that for some of them, but I'm not interested in stuff like Haruhi. And they've only just released the first volume of Gurren Lagann over here, and there's still no indication that the Dragonball Z boxsets will ever make it over here either.

Not when it's about the Japanese dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The Seiyuu are just too awesome for that.

Are you kidding?  The Eng Dub is PAH-RICELESS.  It's so awful, it's awesome.  I mean, it's insane over the top voice acting for insane over the top PLOTS.  It worked SO well together.  Plus, I mean, Brooklyn Joey.  Again, IM-PROVED ON IT!
