| According to the Hollywood Reporter, TV Tokyo and the advertising agency Nihon Ad Systems (NAS) have terminated the license contract of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series with 4Kids Entertainment and have sued 4Kids for illicit transactions. 4Kids allegedly manipulated the accounts and paid a significantly smaller amount of royalties to TV Tokyo and NAS than they should have paid. For example, 4Kids had hidden their contract with FUNimation and more than 45% of the package sales from the two Japanese companies. 4Kids had been holding the worldwide distributing licenses of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series for more than ten years and has earned $152 million.

| They got what they deserved. |
 |
| LOL 4Kids. Video related. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| Wow, they earned a hell of a lot out of that. |
| those bastards!! I hope they get what they deserve. |
| they had it coming a long time ago |
 |
| They deserve that. They keep changing character's name, remove the card design and censoring death scene( this one isn't really bad though). It would me much easier knowing only a name for each character This is what I think: a. Change 'difficult-to-read' name > kids can spell > they will asking TCG from their parents b. They keep censoring/edited violence part > kids won't get bad influence > parents won't mind buying them the TCG >> money and more money My spoiler is off topic but if you don't mind to read a self-centered thougth... |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |
| Hahahahahahahaha about time. |
  |
| ain't this actually a good news?? (:P...) |

| about time... |
| 4Kids use Reckless Greed chain TV Tokyo activate Royal Decree |
HawthorneKitty said: Did anyone else lol because it's 4kids? Yup! I wouldn't of cared as much if it was another company, but since it's 4kids, it just makes things that much more interesting. |
Eternal_Shield said: HawthorneKitty said: Did anyone else lol because it's 4kids? count me in xD This. 8D It's their own fault anyway~ But seriously, 4kids have been butchering the series for years. I kind of hope another company buys the rights and does a decent dub though... it would be interesting to see what happens to it's reputation afterwards. xDD This made my day. xDD |
HawthorneKitty said: Did anyone else lol because it's 4kids? im lolling hard xD i hope 4kids fall apart XD |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| Yu-Gi-Oh? Perhaps they should take a leaf out of Seto Kaiba's book. Oh wait... |
 |
HawthorneKitty said: Did anyone else lol because it's 4kids? Yep, definitely :) |
 |
| 4(poor)kids |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Oh look a topic where people can troll 4kids because they censored their favorites anime just to make it appropriate for kids. Get over it already. |
 |
I lol'd. |
 |
| Fuck yeah, this news just made my morning Justice was finally served |
| hahaha. deserve it! |
| the first thing that comes to my mind when read this thread title 4Kids, Don't Try This at Home XDD |
| Little Kuriboh would be happy:D |
| thank God they deserve it i hate them so bad especially for what they have done to One Piece, they had it coming , they were playing smartpants and their plans backfired on their faces. |
| Silly 4Kids, everybody knows that only Seto Kaiba can screw the rules like that and get away with it :D |

| I smiled.. :D |
| If only this news could have come out Friday. But yeah, so dying to read 4kids statement on this |
| . |
| 4Kids got what they deserved, this is excellent news, now they may never be able to destroy an anime ever again. |
 |
| Finally! |
 |
| A day in which something bad happens to 4kids is a good day. |
 |
| Hm not like anything really good came out of 4kids to begin with. Still 4Kids and all other companies using trick and deception for revenue gain should be locked up. If there is anything in this world I hate it is trick/deception, using questionable methods to gain profits from consumers and people who are living a comfortable lifestyle yet still are not satisfied enough to avoid using such methods for more profit. I blame this on the all so bright idea of the " competitive economy". It has turn this place into a dog eat dog world where you absolutely have to compete with other businesses for profits even if you have to resort to questionable methods. You either try to bring your business to the top or you become fresh meat for the other businesses who would be more than happy to throw you out of the competition. |
| lol yugi oh..poor little sukkers :P |
| I can't say I ever saw this coming but I wonder what they'll air now. |
     |
| It's time for some DONUTS |
| Ok™ |
