4Kids Q307 Earnings Report Funhouse w/ clowns and puppets

That alone sounds awsome to me. It would be so cool if is an adaptation of Yu-Gi-Oh! R. I'm not sure if it would be, but there's no shame in dreaming.



It could be the next season of GX, but I'm not sure since he said it was a new series and GX isn't considered a new series at this point. I think that it might be more likely something like Capsule Monsters. Hopefully there will be more information about this. Putting TMNT with the new Spider-Man series sounds like an excellent idea to me.



I agree. In terms of these two blocks, 4Kids needs to set up a decent balance between their shows and make sure not to put two shows, say TMNT and Chaotic, during the same timeslot since the more popular show, TMNT in this case, would win out. It just wouldn't be a wise business move to take, especially since they probably don't want have a fight for ratings between their two different Saturday morning blocks.
 
Words... mouth... you've completely taken them from it. AK needs a Eisner style ousting. He seems to be too cautious where he need not be, and too risky where it's not wanted. And trying to make Japanese shows look American? He doesn't give credit to kids at all.

If this company does go under, I'm really hoping the voice actors can get work for other companies. I know someone's gonna shoot me silly for this, but I never hated the dub voices. Even on One Piece. My sister once forced me to watch Gravitaion in the dub form... Wooden. Very wooden. It seemed almost amaturish. I've noticed a few of the 4k voices in it, and they were the ones who could act. They really seem to have liked voicing Ultimate Muscle and Pinata, and it shows.

I have a love hate thing about the company. Without them TMNT would just be a "fad from the 80's" or something, instead of an honest to goodness reboot. If they had the same care they had for TMNT (in the first 5 seasons, not FF) as they did with their other shows, there wouldn't have been too much complaint.
 
The voice actors aren't 4Kids employees. They're freelance voice actors based in New York, and they already get work in other New York dubs like Central Park Media series, and some Media Blasters series are recorded in New York as well.

So there shouldn't really be any issue. While New York is much small on the dub scene than LA, Texas, or Vancouver, it's still got enough product recorded there.
 
I agree that while they've transformed a number of good shows into edited glop, currently they're doing pretty well. TMNT, even with FF, is still impeccable. Viva Pinata is at least on par with almost anything CN and Nick are chugging out nowadays, and I can't find anything terribly wrong with Chaotic, either. Even DK, with them shamelessly trying to reincarnate Pokemon into it and all, isn't bad.
 
I tried watching Chaotic a couple times. It seemed like a bad, afterthought parody of YGO style game cartoons you might see on an episode of Billy & Mandy or Fairly Odd-Parents. Except that it wasn't trying intentionally to be bad (I think).
 
Chaotic's okay, but I only watched the first 8 episodes and nothing after that, so I'd have a lot to catch up on. It's a bit different considering they actually become the monsters themselves, so you're not just watching them slap cards on the table. Though I'd have to say Flash/Maya (whatever they use) probably isn't the best medium choice for an action show.

There was also no world-saving involved from what I saw, unless that pops up later on.
 
Thing is, Chaotic totally misses the point of a hobby based show like Yugioh or Medabots and so on. There's a clear conflict of interest there, one side wants an adventure show, the other wants a hobby show. If the characters in this show were just PLAYING the game instead of living it, it would be a better show, ignoring the ugly style of the show of course.

I am interested in their new Yugioh(if it isn't just another season of GX). I remember seeing an episode of capsule monsters that was pretty good.
 
Chaotix, I did try watching a couple episodes of. While I do hate other card based shows, this one is truely terrible. i especially hate that fat guy who theenks it's co-o-o-o-o-o-ol to ov-uh-er exaggerate when heeeee talks-a-mundo. It's bad enough he's on his own show. I can avoid it. but then that specific character keeps permiating the commercials. It's really annoying. Just want him to shut his Flash animated pie hole.
