Why do people hate 4Kids?

Answer 1

The reason why many fans dislike 4kids is the way they treat Japanese shows when they are translated into English.

Many of these shows are designed to be viewed by audiences that are 16 or older but when are translated to English are instead marketed to young children. In order to market these shows without upsetting parents many of the questionable content is removed. Scenes which may contain graphic violence, blood, nudity/sexuality or alcohol consumption are edited or even removed entirely from the show. Some examples include the removal of blood from Naruto, removal of the lesbian relationship in Sailor Moon, and the removal of guns from Yu Gi Oh.

Furthermore, many of the Japanese cultural references, such as the language and food, are removed from the shows. In the popular Pokemon series, many of the images of rice cakes are instead replaced with Sandwiches to better identify with an American viewing audience.

Lastly, the voice acting in comparison to the original Japanese shows is usually in a lower quality and the voices are usually not very similar. Reaction to the American airing of the show Naruto led many people to comment on how the main character sounded like he had a 3 Pack A Day voice.

All of these changes cause resentment and anger in fans who see a show that they once enjoyed, in the original Japanese, being turned into something that is considered a cruel mockery.
