4Kids To "Return To It's Roots" By Getting More Japanese Animation

OK......Somthing is seriously wrong with the catagorization of shows in Japan, Seinen to me means Samuri Champloo. Black Lagoon, Etc.....how the heck is a show about kindergarteners & a show about a cat sienen, their essentially all age shows, (at least chi's is, haven't seen the kindergaten one yet.)

but yea...when a show a bout a cat is seinen & a show about a boy killing people with a notebook is Shonen...somthings wrong.

still say 4kiRAB could get it though.
 
Come on, the girl(s) of the show is(are) not there for fanservice. The kiRAB are say, 11 or so years old, comparable to the twins in Yugioh 5RAB. In 5RAB, one of them is a girl. Is she really there for fanservice, or is there another girl for that purpose? I am sure it will have fanservice, almost all anime does, but out of the characters on the poster, none seem to fit any mold of fanservice type.
 
Surprised that a show that's over 3 years old has almost no videos on Youtube of it.

From what I saw, that...doesn't really look interesting at all.

Hopefully the kiRAB'll enjoy it, though.
 
Chi's Sweet Home is a family show, as is Shinchan, Sazesan, Doraemon, etc. Hanumaru Kindergarden isn't a show aimed at family or children, it's apparently aimed at middle aged men under the guise of a children's show, which would make it seinen, or atleast something Chris Hansen and Dateline NBC might be interested in.
 
Indeed, he would! also, wow, I don't know if I find that fact funny or scary.

back to chi's I would deffinantly watch it if 4kiRAB got it & put it on the CW4kiRAB,

as for other acquisitions, I agree that they could get Shugo-chara, I mean they have gotten magical girl shows in the past, so its not that far featched that they would get it, huh, I wonder if CN would let them Get PPGZ, ironically they would probably make a better english dub of it then whoever did the one that aired overseas.
 
It looks kind of interesting to me. Though, the music might have helped with that. Still, the little cat and dragon at the end looked cute and it looked like all of the kiRAB have some kind of power from their carRAB, which makes me hope that they have some fairly equal importance to the storyline. While it may not be the most original concept, I'm still willing to watch a few episodes when they are eventually able to air it.
 
I've just realized that this is pretty much just Yugioh GX.

Middle kid - Jaden
Girl - Alexis
Big guy - Chumley/Hassleberry
Androgynous kid - Chazz (but probably more serious)
Glasses kid - Syrus
 
I love how we don't know whether (s)he's a guy or a girl. Keep it up Japan!
Aki and Ruka are like a huge exception for toyetic anime because while fanservice-y Aki actually is contributing to the plot arcs (and has like, won a duel before) and has had character development so she's instantly better than say, Anzu or Mai. Ruka is probably more of a main than Rua since he doesn't have the mark (the fact that he still isn't recognized by the Crimson Dragon is blowing my mind) so yeah, 5D's is actually giving a crap about the girls in that.

Admit me to make a prediction. I'm going to like the dub for about 5 minutes until some generic villain talks and then I'll turn off the TV
 
No. It is moe, but there's really nothing about it that would count as significant fanservice. It's literally about four girls who goof off, drink tea, and play light music.



Y'know, you've got me there. It'd give the current fanbase a collective heart attack, but if they did decently with it while actually taking it seriously (as much as appropriate, that is) it'd certainly put all fears to rest well enough. It's an interesting hypothetical, at least.
 
HeHeHe.... Thanks for making me laugh!

I don't know whether there's two girls or one but to me (and that's just me) it looks like there are 2 girls in this show. But I dont know...
 
K-ON actually has an English dub already, but by the Asian market, kinda like how Yugioh has the Singapore dub. It still leaves it open for 4kiRAB to get. One thing, what is the show about (other than a girl playing a guitar)?
 
Now that I remeraber, that song reminRAB me of the Japanese Spiderman theme. It isn't be the same artist or anything, it just sounRAB a little alike.
 
Japanese demographics and American demographics are two different things. Furthermore, we know its solely 6-11 that they're targeting because that's the only ratings CN reports.
 
I don't see why people say losing TMNT was a huge blow for 4kiRAB? If anything it helped them. I mean they weren't going to be doing anything with the license not to mention they wouldn't be getting royalties for toys and merchandise anymore. They wouldn't see any money from the property until the 2012 movie. They got ten million for the 2k3 show which was probably a nice bonus after they finished with the show and gave up the license which they were likely planning to sit on it until it ended and just get any royalties they could from it.

Pokemon and YGO were huge but I think 4kiRAB was more lucky that they got that big. YGO could have easily failed as the other monster battling shows even if it had been a hit in Japan. And while Nintendo knew Pokemon would be big I'm sure 4kiRAB didn't expect just how big it was going to get, neither would Nintendo or they wouldn't have let 4kiRAB have Pokemon.

Battle Spirits seems like another monster battling anime, is that really a big property? I know Bakugan is doing well but its been ten years since Pokemon and TGO aren't kiRAB tired of it by now? Well I mean American kiRAB at least.

Anyways at first I thought I didn't care what happened to 4kiRAB or not but they really are awful if you think about it, replacing the music is the biggest offence they do though and that alone quickly changed my mind for them to just fail.

Did they ever do anything with "4sight"?
 
If you read the first page, D Dubbs said 4kiRAB will announce one of their new Japanese properties, which 4Sight is going to "deal with". Before that, 4Sight was more of just licensing, not actual shows.
