I can recommend a good chimp.

Or a manatee, I'm sure no one will notice the difference.

I nominate myself. Because an investor would have better business sense than the current management when their money is on the line.

I would've at least negotiated a better contract with Toei, shoveled out merchendise up the wazoo with One Piece, AND open up new markets to improve cashflow (i.e. Uncut releases of One Piece of Crap.....).

Umm,you know 4KIDS thankfully do not have the rights to One Piece. So,they won be able to make anymore One Piece crap. But this is really not even note worthy news. The person who gets this job would be nothing more than a figure head. This person would not be able to any important decisions because Al Kahn got a iron fist over the company. Please call me when Al Kahn resigns from his crappy company or when 4KIDS is no more. When ever comes first.

Hmm, too bad about that Iron Fist policy there then. I would LOVE to run 4Kids and turn it around and make it into a respectable Anime company in the US, rather than the absolute bane of the entire Anime industry.

That a bad insult to the chimp intellect and the manatee. If the company was run by only the chimps who are burning money in that commercial for Monster.com. 4KIDS would be ten times better then its is now. Because,it seems they got more business sense than the people who is running 4KIDS now.

I agree here, 4Kids has had some really great properties over the past 5 years, and really if they wanted to keep the anime fans happy all you would need to do is release some uncut boxes of your series. Look at how Naruto being handled, sure some folks are upset that the uncut are coming out fast enough but the quality is there when we see the uncut episodes.

Still the One Piece Fiasco is a great example of how badly 4Kids might be and would maybe benefit from better management.

It still perplexes me how they manage to turn that property into the mess it's now infamously known for. Editing issues aside, I cannot fathom how they manage to not translate part fo the sucess they had with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh by undertaking a merchendising blitz. It took them a year or so to even come up with a toy prototype!! In the meantime, why not Luffy Pencils, or Nami Stationary?

Then again, when some of the past properties include WMAC Masters and The Cramp Twins, one has to wonder if they are even competant enough nowadays.

I would nominate myself as VP, for I have 8+ years experience of ruthlessly taking peoples' staplers.
My first move would be to license Gun-Doh Musashi and expose the world to it's artistic brilliance.

Whoa Whoa Whoa! You're treading on dangerous ground there Abarenbo Shougun. Those of us who weren't into Wrestling have some fond memeories of the WMAC Master. I can't believe 4Kids never released both season on DVD, I think that's probably one of the few things I like to own but can't Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad.

Most of the women on there, and men, couldn't act worth a damn so i didn't care. Still loved watching The Machine and Red Dragon. Anyone realize that Chris Casamassa (Red Dragon) was Scorpion and Reptile in the original Mortal Kombat? Ah, memories.

Ahh the acting was what made the story so amazing! I love the epic battles that happened on that show, if I could only find them somewhere I be content. And of course there was tons of great acting, and I love the fighting it's so sweet. And who doesn't like the battle-dome fight at the end of each episode.
