So is this finally the end of 4kids?

We shall see. They're still going to have to go to court, it seems.
If it was Chapter 7, then yes, it would've been the end.

I don't get it, why file chapter 11 when they basically have nothing left, and their reputation is shot?

*sigh* I guess this means that we won't get an Ojamajo Doremi license rescue/re-dub like we got for One Piece.

There, everyone got their wish. Who will be the scourge of the anime industry now?

Kotick would've done the same thing by dismantling 4kids head to another company that needs to be dismantled that's not doing well (Activision).

Adness actually owns Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. 4Kids' license only extended towards broadcast and streaming rights, like their Dragon Ball Z Kai license.
Also this thread will be a huge storm of people who can't read the entire article.

Official excuse to legally dump your creditors.
To be fair, I'd rather see them gone. They're not innovative, and if they disappear someone is bound to appear to take their place - as that's how capitalism works.
4Kids employees, feel free to work for whoever is taking over. The head of the organization is generally the one responsible for crippling the company anyway.

If they win the lawsuit, they'll still have the Yu-Gi-Oh! license, and even though the lawsuit itself means that the relationship is dead, it will still cost money to buy out 4Kids rights.
Even a distant hope of seeing some more money outweighs what the current ownership'd get out of Chapter 7, which is diddly and squat.

True, though it seems like its finally the beginning of the end, and things are in motion, instead of just the crazy limbo they've been in for a few years now, limping along when all of their major former titles were long gone.

That's what you get for turning Sanji's cigarette into a lollipop. Hmph.

That's what they get for screwing with my Vampire Knight. I approve of said new scourge. (As long as they finish translating the manga before they go.)
As for 4kids: all you need now is just four more chapters down...that's it, easy does it, there you go...c'mon, just a bit farther, and then we will all laugh at you. Hahahaha.
Eat it, 4kids! Eat it, I say!

I hope they don't come out of Chapter 11. I want 4Kids gone; I have for a long time. Their adaptions have been a slap in the face to anime fans everywhere.
