NEWS: 4Kids Profit Falls Again

Kahn also cited 4Kids's new strategy of owning a property rather than licensing it, which he said hurt short-term profits this quarter.

He further emphasized that 4Kids has no long term debt and retains $113.5 million "in the bank.

Why is it the good companies are the ones who get hurt the most?

That's the most outrageously biased otaku comment I have ever read, "naruto fan". You lot are bashing 4Kids solely on the failure of the One Piece dub, and conveniently forget they upgraded the anime market up from a "niche" to "mainstream", paving the way for other companies like FUNimation and Viz to make excellent and high quality shows.

4Kids' head was in the right place to realign One Piece for a child's demographic, though their efforts were disasterous. Incompetence is not a sin when the individual buyer has nothing to lose; 4Kids' only real problem is their hubris in delaying (or refusing) to release uncut subtitled One Piece DVDs. If they did that, they would be square with all the angered fans.

Less money means fewer available funds for financial "experiments", like said uncut DVDs. If 4Kids does well, the small hope of getting those DVDs increases.

Hey,do not be attacking me like that. Face the facts,everything 4kids touch is crap.

And your point that anime was not mainstream until 4kids came along is a lie!!! For Example shows like Dragonball Z and Yu Yu Haksho put Funimation on the map not 4kids. And to end with 4kids is just a serial anime rapist

To be frank, I'd never heard of 4kids until I came onto this forum.

I knew of and watched Funimation, ADV, Pioneer/Geneon, Bandai etc. 4kids never in any way crossed my flight path. So for you to claim that 4kids put anime on the map is just wrong. If any American company is going to make that claim, I would vote for DIC or Saban who were around LONG before 4kids.

Sheltered? Or perhaps you should read credits more often. Real people make fake shows, you know.
