A Giant, evil, american monster that came upon an unsuspecting, awesome guy named Japanese anime, picked him up, ate him, and shat him out. Then picked up the shit, shat that out, and continues to repeat this cycle to this day. :(

A retarded voice casting and dubbing studio, hell bent on ahnialating all trace of seriousness in any anime they touch, adding stupid dialogue, changing characters and story, censoring things for no reason(or not very good reasons) and editing things gratuitously, also believing women are not meant ot have breasts.

Also do not pay attention, and make many blunders.

An Anime Dubbing company.
They have fun, Raping very series that started in Japan, like Tokyo Mew Mew, Sonic X, Kirby and Yu-Gi-Oh.
And their biggest rape is Pokemon. Changing comments, even in the manga, from "Godammit!" To "Gosh Darn it!"
They change names, titles and even very well re-write the story.

If you support that 4kids should burn in hell, Thumbs up this comment. If you like hidiously raped series, cry about it.

4Kids should most preferably to all you anime fans burn in hell before they get to one of your favorite only-Japanese animes next.
Trust me, they will.

They will.
4Kids guy 1: Hey, Hey, Joe. Look!
Joe: What?
4Kids guy 1: On this line right here, Misty says, "What a stuck up jerk!"
Joe: Oh, Oh, Oh, OH NO. MAN YOUR STATIONS. EVERYBODY, MAN YOUR STATIONS! BAD WORDS BAD WORDS! NOT NICE WORDS!

an anime dubbing and license company with a mindset outdated as the dinosaurs, they don't realize that they can't butcher animes anymore like back in the early parts 20th century. Hopefully they'll go bankrupt soon (as of this writing they're filing for chapter 11 due to lawsuit from TV Tokyo on the Yu-Gi-Oh francise for contract violations).
hey 4Kids if you don't like death and those kinds of things then don't license shows that has them, it saves the time and energy of editing it out.

4Kids, formely known as 4Kids Entertainment is an american TV channel. From this day, they keep destroying good animes which were originally japanese, such as Shaman King, One Piece and Sonic X.
4Kids destroy these animes by censoring anything related to "adult" stuff such as cigars, alcohol, guns etc.
Now let me give you some examples of ridiculous 4Kids editing:
In the anime Sonic X, any scene showing someone who is crying, being sad or anything related to that is cut out. Yes, you heard it right, completely cut out. Sonic X contains minor swearing, like "shit", "bastard" and "damn it" (damn it is actually considered swearing according to 4Kids lol). These are completely edited out and replaced with "ugh" or some shit like that.
Their voice redubs just makes me want to cry, Amy's voice is just terrible, she sounds like some slutty teeny bopper slapping down 100$ for a pair of shitty pants at Abercrombie & Fitch.
They COMPLETELY destroyed the latest (the 3rd) season of Sonic X, "The Metarex Saga" which was meant to be sad and dramatic and filled with action, i really feel sorry for all american Sonic fans which has to watch such misery.
Talking about Shaman King and One Piece, there just isn't a word to explain how INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE 4Kids has edited these animes, it's so badly edited that i can't even explain it on here, google or YouTube these animes and you'll find a 4Kids version, compare it to the original japanese version.

Some childhood-ruining dicks who are absolutely obsessed with removing all quality from anime, under the cover of "dubbing it". This includes replacing soundtracks with the same generic 8-year old screeching about friendship or whatever...

4Kids are responsible for completely ruining Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, etc. and therefore my entire childhood.

Note: Anime isn't even for kids. It is for sane people who care about storylines and stuff and NOT HENTAI AT ALL IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER AND IF ANYONE TELLS YOU THAT THEN THEY'RE LYING and not Jonouchi and Kaiba doing things with sexual connotations. Hopefully 4Kids never get their hands on Death Note *shiver*
Jeff: Man, Bob you're such a dick
Bob: Not as big a dick as 4Kids
Jeff: That is such a good point Bob. Now do you want to go stab the CEO of 4Kids together
Bob: Sure but make sure he dies slowly lol
Jeff: Of course. We should avoid vital spots so he bleeds to death
Bob: Maybe we should write his name in the Death Note.

Judge: I find you guilty of murder. You are sentenced to death
Tim: But aren't 4Kids more worthy of execution?
Judge: Well yes...
