I'm mostly familiar with the Viva pinata game more so than the TV show. The show doesn't have many connections to the game outside of the aesthetic and characters. The game itself is a garden simulator where your job is to make your garden appealing to different pinatas. The more your garden improves the more pinatas show up and the batter your equipment becomes. The show was actually being developed alongside the game at the same time by Rare themselves. That's why the video game shares the same animation and theme song as the show. The show can be a little bit hyperactive but it's fun in small doses. As for the game it can be pretty charming and fun but if you're not a big fan of simulation games it might not appeal to you.

Tokyo Mew Mew was actually one of the MOST butchered 4kids anime. They swiched episodes around, completely changed plot pionts, never even finished dubbing it. And by switched episodes around I mean they started with the 12th episode the climax because I guess they thought they had to start at a super intense scene if they were going to get anyone to watch girly show.

Fun fact: Besides being Luffy in the One Piece dub, Erica also did many voices in the Pokémon dub, including the voice of Hoenn Nurse Joy, Fantina, Bianca, Goh's Rotom Phone, Ash's Leavanny, Ash's Unfezant, Amaura, Aurorus, Sylveon, Pancham, the three Lake Guardians, Garbodor, Tapu Koko, the singing voice of Meloetta, and even Jessie's Wobbuffet (between Sun/Moon and Ultimate Journeys)! The performer of the One Piece rap was Shawn "Freshco" Conrad. Shawn began his career by creating music as the rapper Freshco, which eventually saw him rapping alongside the likes of Jay Z and Notorious B.I.G. When 4Kids offered him the opportunity, Shawn originally didn't want to go to the interview, as he didn't recognize any of the shows that were being worked on. He was given a script that gave a breakdown of the characters, their abilities, and their roles within the Straw Hat Pirates, which he used in creating the well-known theme song. He was the one to incorporate the "YO" that started the rap song as that was a theme at the time and he was attempting to make the rap closer to what he had produced in his career.

Always found it weird how Sanji no longer smoked in the 4Kids dub but ironically his dub voice sounded more like that of a smoker's. Before his voice was actually revealed it was heavily rumored that 4Kids was going to give him a French accent, which as stereotypical as it would have been would have made more sense as even Oda himself said he's be French if he were real, but instead we get a New Yorker. At least him being a chef was spared of being stereotyped unlike every character who wore a cowboy hat (not just Robin, but Alvida and Ace were also given southern accents)

The funniest thing about Sanji is that in the 4Kids dub, he sounds even more like a smoker than he does normally despite losing his cigarette. Also, technically "Zolo" isn't a change, it's more of a different interpretation. In Japanese the name ゾロ can be translated as "Zoro" or "Zolo" because in Japanese our "L" and "R" sounds come from the same characters. The name Zolo was likely chosen, however, because of potential issues regarding Johnston McCulley's famous character Zorro.

Until they got into One Piece, where their changes managed to make the story much worse even if you ignore stuff like Sanji sucking on a lollipop and no more blood, many episodes and entire story arcs were cut, Laboon and Little Garden were removed completely, which would have caused major plot holes if the dub kept going.

Ah yes, 4Kids...like it or not, I'm glad we're in the timeline where they gave us the Pokérap and the One Piece rap. Both are masterpieces that belong in the Louvre. And I give kudos to Cartoon Network when they continued the anime on Saturday mornings tradition, as I first watched the Pokémon anime because of early weekday morning reruns of Black/White Best Wishes and Saturday morning new episodes of the XY episodes. Pre-rebrand Boomerang on the other hand got me exposed to the much older episodes. Cartoon Network also showed Tenkai Knights which I liked too...even though it was meant to promote toys and I never got the toys. The origin of the present form of onigiri dates back to the Heian Period as “Ton-jiki.’ Ton-jiki was brown rice packed firmly into an egg shape and distributed to domestic servants as a token of appreciation during events at imperial or noble households. After the Heian Period, onigiri became convenient food, eaten as rations at the time of the Sengoku Period, and also as a bento during farm work. Onigiri were originally made out of sticky, glutinous rice, but at the end of the Kamakura Period, ordinary rice started to be used. The present form of onigiri, with nori wrapped around it, developed along with processed, rectangular seaweed laver, whose use spread widely during the Genroku Era in the middle of the Edo Period

And of course, they gave us Pokémon fans the theme song that is essentially our national anthem.

Y'know 4Kids was indeed great and all, Well from what I've heard of since i wasn't born until 2009 but i can tell it made a lasting impact but I'm deeply sorry but i just have one problem with it and i can put it with my own thought on it "4Kids: Our censorship was sometimes stupid and pointless" Not to say the block was bad in any way, shape or form since i know I'd like it if i was in that time period but i just thought of it sometimes as a bit stupid and dang all me and my friends think about when 4Kids enters the conversation is: "The censorship was smart in general, But not in context of the episode" But still tho even with these minor inconveniences with it, I say they did good at making a part of anyone's childhood while it lasted Also who could forget the most iconic thing that came from 4Kids: "These donuts are great, Jelly-filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a Jelly-filled Donut!"

Oh one piece... That show got massacred back in the day. I get it, can't show blood, can't show tabaco, can't show guns... But then they take out the giant whale with an small island built inside of him, they take out the two giants Luffy and the others meet. They remove Mr. 3 who attempts to kill Nami, Vivi and Zoro by turning them into a giant wax pieces on a giant wax cake. Kids would have LOVED seeing all that! But I guess they had more things to worry about, like how to add Chopper into the opening rap.

Mew Mew Power. Changed a number of things in editing, never had Season 2 dubbed and if they did, they would have had to work around those episodes where Zoey/Ichigo transformed into a Cat and was about to be bathed by Mark.

@@kenrickeason Nah we wouldn't have awesome theme songs if otherwise and the memeable shadow realm.

A lot of Saturday morning cartoons were just straight up repurposed/dubbed anime. Dating all the way back to the 80's. Animated cartoons and anime are literally transferrable. The only difference is the style in which they are presented. Many "traditional" viewed American cartoons were actually produced in overseas studios that were also responsible for "traditional" anime style cartoons.

I'm honestly surprised you haven't mentioned about Winx Club, but instead brought up Cubix which I have no idea about. This is a magical fairy cartoon made in Italy, where 5-6 girls go to Enchantix. The antagonists are evil witches, and I honestly think it was a pretty good show. However, I don't have much more investigation to this, but I've defilently watched like half of season 1 during the summer at that point. Maybe you can cover Fox Kids, since it is similar to 4Kids, except it has less ridiculous censorship.

The 2003 show was intended to be a return to form for the Turtles, spurred on by original co-creator Peter Laird. He had always disliked the changes the 1987 show made to the brand and took the opportunity afforded by the reboot to undo them. That’s why you don’t have Bebop and Rocksteady, why Splinter is not Homato Yoshi, why April is not a news reporter, and why you have the Utroms instead of the derivative villain Krang.

The 4kids tmnt cartoon was not the first serious take on the turtles, because they originated from the comics and it was also serious

The first ever irritation of the turtles was a serious and a little edgy comic but due to its immense popularity and the chance to get a tv show about it they had to dumb it down

Ha! That intro! I grew up a Christian and we had Sunday school too! But when I look backed I was in the pews thinking about anime and games.

i didn't grown up with 4kids when i was young and from the couple time i had went to it i really only checked it out to watch sonic x, , which while not perfect is still one of my favorite cartoons to this day despite the flaws i do like 4 kids anime dubs, i honestly get an enjoyment out of cheesy anime dubs in general there's this charm to it i can't really explain

I played very little of Yugioh outside one of the Gameboy games and never had any of the cards but as a magic the gathering player that show was amazing I watched most of the original series religiously

In the early 2000s, imagine a fusion of Nickelodeon, 4Kids Entertainment, and Cartoon Network to create a creative powerhouse inspired by beloved characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, delicious Krabby Patties, and jelly-filled donuts. This collaboration would bring together their unique strengths under the leadership of CEO Alfred Kahn, creating an empire reminiscent of the synergistic Austro-Hungarian style.

Okay, you were way off base about Chaotic. The characters weren't tied to their creatures, they just temporarily transformed into them in some sort of more advanced of the game that takes place in virtual reality. They could also access the world of Perim, where the creatures from their cards exist and live their own lives, and they use their scanner devices to scan creatures, weapons, locations, spells, etc. in order to add whatever they scanned to their deck. What happens in the game is inconsequential to the creatures of Perim, all they know is that Chaotic players come into their world, scan their data and play these silly games where the humans become them and see the humans more as a minor distraction or nuisance and have their own affairs to look after.

Viva Piñata was actually my favorite of them all. It really had some great jokes, lovable characters and wacky storylines. I especially loved the theme song and the online safety videos.

My first anime was Tokyo mew mew and it recently got a reboot

I don't know about *just* as integral, but I gotta admit it's pretty close. Pokémon and YuGiOh probably would've still done fine by virtue of the games (though certainly not as well), but Toonami is what got Dragonball big in the west, and that's Dragonball. Also Sailor Moon to a lesser extent. They weren't the first to have a major airing of Sailor Moon around that time, but they definitely kept the train rolling after that original dub stopped. And Toonami just kept going harder longer, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Yu-Yu-Hakusho, Gundam, Naruto, Bleach, and this was going on well into the 2000s. 4Kids had like 2 (3 if you want to count One Piece) *really* impactful ones, and apart from that it was pretty irrelevant.

As cringey as some of 4kids edits were and the voices/accents/lines they used, I still have fond nostalgia for them.

I grew up watching the 4Kids version of Pokémon dub in Neutral Spanish and at least the dub's dub was pretty well done, in fact Pokémon's LatAm Spanish dub managed to keep its voice cast consistent for over its entire run. One Piece 4Kids version was also dubbed into LA Spanish, but the voice cast was so good that many years later when Toei gave OP a much faithful dub many of the dub actors who worked in the 4Kids for characters like Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Robin reprised their roles

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :) Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.

May Maddie Blaustein rest in peace; she rocked as Meowth. She like with Jason got to do voice work for the Sonic series. She did a serviceable job as The President (with both her and the original English actor now being gone). However, sadly, she was never given the opportunity to provide a better sounding voice for E-123 Omega after Sonic 06.

I remember watching chaotic; that was my favorite show on the network. I wish they could make a comeback of that show.

Here's the thing. I know I watched it as a kid. I only remember the horse was played by Dan Green. That's it

Chaotic revolved around three worlds. The real world, where people played the normal card game. Perim, the world where the creatures of the card game actually exist and live in. And a sort of in-between world that houses the Battledrome, where humans from the real world can play a special variation of the card game where they get to become the creatures while playing. If a person from the real world becomes good enough at the card game, they get gifted a special code that allows them access to Perim and the in-between worlds. While exploring Perim people can use their smartphones to scan the creatures of Perim, adding them to their card list and as such can put them in their decks for use in the Battledrome.
