Ya know, I recently went to see the new Yugioh movie and that dub was pretty good. Damn good actually. While I'm sure it had some 4Kids terms and whatnot, it was overall handled with care and respect. The acting was good. There were silent moments and the music wasn't overbearing (although sure, it was still replaced) Japanese text was actually translated and not sloppily edited out . Puns didn't litter the dialog (there were some, but appropriate moments) It was entertaining and good.

 

So when I see the atrocity that is the4kids OP dub, which is littered with bad acting, overbearing music, atrocious edits, and a script that only contains lame puns... it makes me think that 4Kids deliberatly tried to sabotage the series. Because while they're dubs were never that good... none were as atrocious as 4Kids OP. None. And it pisses me off that that's a contributing reason for why people never gave it a chance. That good for nothing dub. A dub that managed to be worse than even the other mediocre dubs 4Kids had made.

4kids doesn't "officially" exist anymore, they sold their studio to Konami (due to a Lawsuit)

 

that said 4kids (and their successor "4Kmedia") are......inconsistent with dubbing

 

some of their dubs were decent, and done with respect, others were

I made a thread about the inconsistancies of their dubs previously
