while they did a good job with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! I can just never forgive them for what they did to One Piece. Completely ruining its chances of ever being popular in the US
From: Articuno2001 | #006 4Kids Pokemon dub was good, but most of the other things they did were terrible. I liked the soundtrack they put together for Yu-Gi-Oh!
And the dub cast, at least for the early part was surprisingly solid.

I know 4Kids no longer owns the Pokemon anime, but I was really hoping that someday we'd get that handful of episodes that never aired in the dub (according to the VAs, they were in fact dubbed, just barred from airing). Looks like that's even less likely now.

i stand by the the Yugioh cast makes absolutely no sense whatsoever with who they got. but all main characters should have a best friend with a thick brooklyn/italian mafioso accent.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.
Uh. Yu-Gi-Oh! spoilers for those who care. It's rather inconsequential to the plot, but just in case.
At this point, Mutou and Ahmet walked, with the gun still on Mutou, up to a stone path leading through the pit of darkness. There was an inscription which Mutou read, which stated: "Ye shall now be judged by the creatures of the stone. Only the pure of heart are permitted to pass. All others will lose their souls to the darkness." Same in both versions, even though I think the soul thing is pretty stupid. Anyway, Mutou was told by Ahmet to cross the path, of course with the gun pointed at him as motivation to do so. I guess in the dub he just decided to take one for the team. Anyway, once he goes past the midway point, Ahmet decides he doesn't need Mutou anymore, and proceeds to shoot the mess out of him. 4Kids finally takes my advice (since this is the most important scene in the whole episode) and changes his gun to a slingshot. In both versions, he is hit, and falls.
Was looking for a picture or video clip, but any sort of confirmation will do, I guess.
