Wouldn't they pretty much have to normalize the names of the entire cast? Gon would just be Gary or something with Killua being Ken.

A hockey team name...the Shogo 162 Vindicators? Maybe?
Ah, yes, starring Gon, Kirua, Pika, and Bob.
They would likely keep Gon's name, but Killua ain't staying.
Instead of the Kurta Clan being wiped out, they'll be imprisoned with no mention about their eyes.

So...Pakunoda shoots lasers out of a toy gun?
Killua is now Kahlua.
You know Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were watchable
Shaman King was decent and Yugioh was alright for the most part.
For non anime, TMNT 2k3 was great.

I don't even remember to be honest. Didn't they once dub Cardcaptor Sakura?
Didn't they change things whole sale for the entire story and such for Yu Gi Oh?
Nah, that was Nelvana.

Ah ok, I remember hearing about that being butchered.

Pokemon and Yugioh pretty much, but even then those had their share of issues and faults (editing and cuts mainly). but overall they were serviceable dubs that still are remembered as being good at the time (they wouldn't have brought back the 4kids voice actors for the Yugioh movie otherwise).
THESE JELLY DONUTS SURE ARE DELICIOUS

Thankfully no, it's just the pacing slows again with the focus returning more to Eren.
The Japanese anime already changes a ton from the manga, it's not like the JP anime has artistic integrity.
And Yu-gi-oh's Japanese anime is really edgy for no good reason. A lot of the stuff that has a tendency to get substituted isn't that impactful in the first place. I'm slowly watching VRAINS on crunchyroll and it's really dumb and filled with Engrish.
They in fact would have, because all of the movies have 4k media involved. If you're referring to PoL, that was actually initiated by 4kids.
The original anime isn't all that accurate to being with seeing how the likes of Pegasus isn't dead.

I keep forgetting 4k Media is a thing, its the last living remnant of 4kids but its solely owned by Konami so they can't do anything else besides Yugioh.
That and 4Licensing Corporation, but thats an entirely different outfit (I think they make impact gear?) they will never touch anime again.
*reads manga based on a true event drawn by the author/artist, even says on the cover "(true) story"
*credits says "this is a work of fiction", "...products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously"*
.....uh, so is this Schrodinger's truth? I get why they put it in every manga, to avoid lawsuits & such, but why for a manga where's basically an autobiography of a point in life of the author?
But on the current topic, 4Kids went bankrupt in 2011, but then came back in Dec. 2012, only to announced in Sept. 2016 (lol on my birthday) that they were once again bankrupt.
Guessing the only series 4Licensing or whatever owns now is Yu-Gi-Oh, as Viz now has the rights for Pokemon.

Maybe it's a Fargo true story

Which manga is this?
Huh? 4Kids ceased to exist after 2012, it divided into 2 fractions 4Licensing Corp. and 4K Media, the latter is owned personally by Konami to do Yugioh dubs and thats all.
TPC Always owned pokemon, just licensed out to 4Kids until they realized they can do it cheaper and pulled out.
The author/artist put the manga up on her Pixiv (think the Japanese equivalent of Deviantart) & it's from her perspective, so maybe it was a force of habit since all manga has it. But I couldn't help but notice considering the manga deals with mental issues, depression, sexuality, & coming to terms with accepting yourself, with having extra weight because it's what the mangaka actually went through, so it feels..."off" that the disclaimer is in there.
Or maybe I'm just missing something/trying to read too much into it & Seven Seas Entertainment did it for legal reasons.
It's called "My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness", just got released/translated today.
My bad, I was going by what I saw on Wiki, think I might've misread something. 2012 was when they were reincorporated into 4Licensing.

Thought so, I just read through that last night on a twitter recommendation. the story is real so I figure its more of what you said before that Seven Seas Entertainment did it for legal reasons.
Was it only 5 chapters? because thats all I found at least for the Pixiv version. is their a difference in the published version?
Its cool, it was probably some subsidiary that got shut down in 2016 4kids had allot of them.

I definitely feel like running Super twice a night is not doing it any favors.
That's what I figured. Thanks for the clarification/confirming I was just trying to read too much into it for no reason.
Yeah, though there's a short bonus chapter that's 8 pages long. From what I can tell, it's basically just what was on her Pixiv collected into a physical book & translated.
It's rare that I buy manga nowadays, but this was one of those times where I felt "this is something I think I should own, & I want to reward the publisher for bringing it over, & hopefully it's rewarding the mangaka as well for being brave in telling this story." I look forward to seeing what my best friend thinks & hopefully others will discover it as well.
Meanwhile, to get back to Toonami. wow, only 5 episodes of AoT2. I don't think this season has made me a fan, but I can acknowledge this has been a whole lot more enjoyable/interesting compared to S1. I just feel overall more invested since there's a better sense of mystery (what the hell is this beast titan) & the pacing has just been better. It certainly was a lot better than what I was fearing when hearing it was coming to the block. Possibly one of the best surprises of the year.

I can't believe a live action SAO tv series was announced before a live-action Bebop series.
Either way, do not want.
Speaking of live-action, the JoJo movie might not be shit.

Maybe not the moe shit crowd, but for the kind of general stuff that airs on Toonami? Definitely.

HOLY FUCKING BALLS
do SOMETHING demarco. This was a good night for Christ's sake. Only 650 thousand people saw the madness that was last night's Attack on Titan.
"But sir, didn't we learn our lesson with Attack on Titan reruns?"
"THIS'LL WORK, we'll start the block with shows people will WANT to actually rewatch"

I think at worse, the block will get reduced back to 3 or 3 and a half hours. Which, I mean, ditch Shippuden and the Rerun slot and nothing much changes.

Those are the worse ratings we've had in....a year, I think?
