I don't watch both as much as I used to but I still watch them somtimes. I agree that both are bad because of the editing and such. But I think fox box does less editing than Kids WB. I mean, the One Piece dub has more violence than the 4kids dubs shown in Kids WB. For example, while they never showed gunshots or guns Yu-gi-oh, the One Piece still had gunshots although the guns were turned into squirt guns.

Also, in Shaman King, I think they still kept the entire thing about Yoh and Anna being engaged even though both were underaged and living together. 4kids would probably change that if they were gonna show it in Kids WB.

Well, about the gun thing, they just don't want kids to see guns being pointed at people. I think that both of the channels are ok. It is just that Fox Box has more violent anime on their channel.

I think in those cases it was more about how many edits they could get away with while retaining a viable product. Yugioh is about card dueling, so the guns and stuff were relatively minor edits to the show. The elements you mentioned in Shaman King and One Piece would have been very difficult to remove without turning the show into Swiss cheese. They're all 4Kids, so they all suck.

Now as for which network is better, Kids WB. The Batman is pretty solid (if over commercial), and about 1/3rd of the Teen Titans episodes are good, so I have to give them the edge for programming, even though they DO also contain "Da Boom Crew".

The Batman is but a mere shadow of the early 90's series. And they don't have Mark Hamill, who in my opinion, was the best Joker ever. The opening is a nice instrumental though.

Dude. "Da Boom Crew" is really bad for the brain. Please stay away from it. It will corrode your mind with...


...augh. My mind has drawn a blank by even thinking about it. =/

"Friends don't let friends watch "Da Boom Crew".

I know, I just seen comercials for Da Boom Crew, and that's enough to drive me away. I agree with you that Teb Batman is a shadow of the old Batman series, but the action is pretty well done, and the character designs are very fresh. It's Batman done by the people behind Jackie Chan Advantures. Yes, the plots are a little weak, and you can tell that the toy companies are all up on the creative team's grill, but it's not a bad show in the grand scheme of things.

I think Fox Box is better due to the fact they are trying to have a block to fit all people.

And on the gun issue, sometimes guns has passed censors. In a recent episode of Sonic X, a group of cops surrounded Chaos and when a closeup was on one of them, he clearly had a revolver in his hand, complete with a cocking sound attached.

i say, they both have flaws. first of all, foxbox comes on to early. i am not going to wake up at 6:00 in the morring just to watch kirby. kids WB has a horribe line-up, only thing to watch on kids WB is yu-gi-oh. but If i had to pick one, it would be fox box.

Neither. They both show butchered anime and crappy kiddy shows. Anime fans should say no to edited anime! Thats my philosophy atleast.

Yeah, but think of this as sort-of the best of the worst.

My nephew loves the Fox Box because they have One Piece. He only watches Yu Gi Oh on Kids WB.
