I still remember anime fans being happy as hell when 4kids died off. They weren't gonna be missed. One of the things that still bothered me about their ways of censoring was the fact that they censored/butchered things that weren't even harmless. Someone I know on the internet told me that there was an Winx club episode where they digitally edited out a silhouette of a breast from one of the main characters. Even though you couldn't see it in the original clip, just removing the breast altogether was just plain stupid.
The one thing that I kept hearing was 4Kids getting shows that had a lot "adult" themes and censoring everything that was risque. It became a joke with a few of my friends that "most of their licenses were not 4kids."
On the topic of removing breasts from cartoons/anime, I remember that they also censored the hell out of the original Sailor Moon (they being DiC, not 4Kids). I've heard that one scene with Sailor Moon herself (never seen the show, so I have no idea what her name is) in the bath had her cleavage removed, which I also heard happened during the Henshin/transformation (which ever you prefer) to remove the outlines of their breasts and butts. Hearing all of this I wonder two things to myself.
1. Do fans of the original DiC Sailor Moon get as mad as the fans of 4Kids?
2. How did people find out about these changes?
On second thought, don't answer #2. I don't want to know any more.
