Not everybody, but rather a HUGE majority do hate them.

The question is why.

1. They don't release the japanese language DVD's of their shows.
2. They have to make their own music which is awful and almost never fits the scene.
3. They've declared war on Japanese culture and even the sneeze gag has been editted out of their dubs.
4. They also tend to make moronic edits not related to Japanese Culture.
5. They're run by the one man I hate more than Matt Millen.
6. Although Pokemon has been gutted, 4Kids has butchered One Piece.
7. Despite removing almost every last Japanese culture reference from the animes they dub, their domestic shows (TMNT and GI Joe) have plenty of it and are some of the best shows made in America. Though I bet that's because the creators who are outside of 4Kids were heavily involved to make sure they didn't screw around with it.

I may think of more.

I saw what they did to Pokemon, and I see that the dub is 95% identical to it's Japanese counterpart. The worst you can say about the Pokemon dub is the different soundtrack and the occasional dubbing error. (Trainer's Choice, various name/attack errors, etc.)

While I admit that they do make lots of pointless edits, I don't mind them that much for some reason.

Well, they did release uncuts of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Shaman King but that was like, so short. ¬¬

Yeah, most people loathe 4Kids because of how they handle their dubs, especially One Piece. They've mingled episodes of One Piece/Yu-Gi-Oh! into one and make strange and pointless edits like editing out English text in Yu-Gi-Oh! If 4Kids wants kids to think the setting takes place in America why take out the English? -_-;

The Uncut DVDs were crap. Three episodes each, three DVDs for YGO and two for SK.

I prefer to consider the 'English versions' completely differnent shows from the Japanese counterparts. As, with all the alterings, they really are.

TMNT is grade A violence, and I'm lovin' it!!

No it isn't. It's just if everybody hates 4Kids. Basically I agree with what Edward Elric said.

G.I. Joe Sigma Six is technically an anime, I believe. However, it was produced for an American audience...

I don't really hate them because they provide anime to me. >_> *doesn't have cable or satellite*

But then again, after hearing about them butchering up the originals... 8coughs nervously* o.o

Clearly we're great!
I don't hate them. I like their sense of humor.

Huh? If anything, you'd think that'd be why people *wouldn't* hate them.

I am a diehard One Piece fan, and wanted it to get a good reputation in America. But I guess that will never happen, what with the hackjob of a dub it's getting. Never watched Shaman King(either version), and only saw one episode of Sonic X dubbed, so I can't really know about what ol' Al did to them, but I assume it wasn't good.

I'm leaning on the hate side for the bad job they do with the music. But I believe they have the potential to do a good job.

I sit back and hope for one of these threads to come up so I can look at the fans' opinions. I hope they get their way.

Then I reason why 4Kids make all those decisions. It's screamingly obvious, isn't it?

If it sounds like I'm laid-back about this, then you're right. :(

Someone sure hasn't seen Mewtwo Strikes Back or Legend of Thunder.

Sonic X sucked to begin with. >_> They just happened to make it suck even more.
