That and it is already available uncut via streaming (legal and for free unless you live in a locked out region) unless 4Kids got that yoinked.

Is that a Punisher game that is being used for the pic on the main page?

If I could pick just one case where I wish that you will be completely wrong, it's this. 4Kids licensing Shugo Chara would be the biggest travesty in the history of anime in my view.

Unless you posted that just to irritate me .

Probably just a bonus.

Yes, with someone's brains being completely blown out. :D

As I've said in the other thread, as long as it's a show distinctly targeted to kids, then I don't really care. Then I'll just go and watch it on TV. =/

Given how Mew Mew Power and Magical Doremi have flopped for them, I don't know if they'd go after Shugo Chara. Though it's still possible. =/ I still think it's Battle Spirits ATM, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

Also, I really doubt that they'll pick a show that can skew as high as One Piece, but who knows?...

The fact that Mew Mew Power and Magical Doremi flopped for them is the reason why they WON'T go after Shugo Chara, no matter how much Buckeye wants them to have it.

Apropos for the subject.

As confirmed by Quarkboy in the other thread, I'm glad 4kids isn't after Shugo Chara! at the moment. Sure the series has gone downhill a little, but that's no excuse why they should go for it. And the first two seasons still kick ass. The charas must be happy they won't be getting new unsuiting names. Also, Shugo Chara! isn't quite the anime you could turn into a cash cow in the west. Prissy daytime vampires is apparently whats in right now.

As for what 4kids could be interested in, I have a bad feeling it's Yatterman. But I'm always wrong, so...

It's not that I want them to have it (and really, I don't). It's just that seeing how it fits the profile of something that would air Saturday morning that it becomes a strong possibility (just based on the typical material that has aired on TV, whether successful or not). 4Kids doesn't have it, yet, but I was hoping that it would be safe from them since 4Kids has seemingly given up on anime titles.
