They had those on 4kidsTV, a Saturday morning cartoon program when I was growing up. Now I wonder how different channels were in certain places.
YTV aired the stuff 4KIDS would. (As well as stuff on Cartoon Network's Toonami and adult swim's anime)
(They once aired Death Note and that's funny to me)
YTV, huh? Never heard of it. This is so wild to learn about. I think the funniest bit is that 4kidsTV aired One Piece and it had a killer opening that made me sad to find out it wasn't the anime's original opening. They also censored like crazy! I remember Bandit Keith in Yu-gi-oh who didn't have a gun when he threatening... Pegasus if I recall..? The American sanitization of Japanese culture was running high then too.
One Piece had the worst censorship on 4Kids.
(But I found a part where they forgot to censor the blood)
ooooh yeah. I was watching the anime on crunchy and scratching my head a lot. There comes a point when you really shouldn't bother buying show rights imo
I believe they got it on a package deal.
Ew. At least we're beyond that now... As far as I know anyway.
adult swim censors some anime. (They censored Fire Force, I know that)
Censorship I can get over, you can usually buy the uncensored version once it's all out (except Tokyo Ghoul cries). It bugs me when there are two different stories going on with the same source material. Watching something like Dragon Ball in English with English subtitles is a perfect example. It's wild to see and frustrating to get around.
I actually have the entire run of One Piece from 4KIDS downloaded onto my computer for archival reasons.
(Also off topic question but have you watched Berserk?)
I haven't but it's been heavily recommended to me. It's my too long list atm. Though I'm mega bummed at the CGI reboot. It looked so gross
Don't watch the CGI one. Watch the one from the 90s and watch it dubbed.
(The dub is better than the japanese audio, I'm not even kidding there too)
Will do~ I'll probs dive into the manga at some point too. I hear the creator is nutters and does it all on his own
The manga is a masterpiece and its the best drawn manga I've ever seen.
All the rec I need
This is the art from the series.
Berserk and Vampire Hunter D artists on another level from us mere mortals
One downside to the masterful art is the amount of time it takes to get a new chapter.
Good observation! 4KidsTV had a lot of anime on Saturday mornings when I was growing up!
If you didn't live in Canada, it's probably why you never heard of it.
