I know 4 Kids has Magical Doremi licesed and they play the dubbed episodes as part of their Saturday morning lineup, but what I wanted to know, is if anybody has any idea if they were planning to release uncut DVD's on the series. I'm not fond of 4 Kids form of dubbing, and I want to see it uncut.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

I seriously doubt they would release it uncut. They released episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh uncut on DVD, and they sold horribly. There's just not enough demand for it.

4Kids already tried releasing their anime uncut by sublicensing to FUNimation to have them release uncut versions of 4Kids series. But due to mutual failings on all sides (lack of product availability, questionable product quality, 4Kids demanding a much bigger share of the profits from FUNimation, and self-righteous anti-4Kids types feeling they deserve the product for free or somecrap and still refusing to buy it), the deal fell through, and 4Kids now has no interest whatsoever in producing uncut releases of their anime licenses.
Shame, really. But to 4Kids' credit, it can at least be said that 9 out of 10 of the anime they license never had a really healthy market for uncut releases anyway. Outside of One Piece and maybe Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pretty Cure, there really aren't any series that 4Kids own that a healthy fanbase wanted to see licensed and released uncut. It's not like Pokemon or Ultimate Muscle or Kirby's Adventure Land or whatever that one was called really have the sort of fan following outside of the 3-10-year old range that actually warrants a proper uncut, subtitled release. |

But what may I ask would have been cut? Unless you want to hear japanese voices, that show looks pretty tame enough to leave generally uncut. I haven't seen an episode of it so if there's supposed to be heads exploding and crazy murder parties going on in that series, then tell me now.

I want to see it without all the english text and friggin' karaoke dance party at the end...
I could understand that it would probably not sell very well, although it is said to be a very popular mahou shoujo anime. More episodes than Sailormoon, which is a lot. |

Don't you see?! Doremi is actually HARDCORE and MATURE. The version that the Japanese 7 yr. girls watched made Elfin Lied look like Bottle Fairy!! At least, that's what I gather from some of the comments on the intarwebs..... |

Two: They did attempt to release uncut Yugioh and Shaman King DVDs in the past, but the DVDs were cancelled. If Shaman King and Yugioh, two of their most popular anime titles had their uncut DVDs cancelled, what makes you think they're going to release uncut Doremi DVDs? Three: Doremi doesn't even have anything significantly altered in its dub to make uncut DVDs even worth it. It'd be like 4Kids trying to sell uncut Pokemon DVDs. Pokemon is far more popular than Doremi is, but how many people out there do you think would actually care to buy uncut Pokemon DVDs? |

I could care less, but I hope they release Doremi in some form on DVD. My kids want to watch it and I hate trying to catch it on TV...
