Saban to get CW4kids block, Konami to get Yugioh

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 15, 2012, 9:19 PM
edit: ANN posted an article that outlines it better: [link]

[link]

(full listing [link] source/discussion: [link] )

In the first link (it's a download of a pdf) if you go to page 6-10 (of the PDF not actual page numbers) that's Exhibit 1, what Saban is getting pending court approval. They are basically getting the CW4kids programming/broadcasting block.

After is Exhibit 2, which lists what Konami is getting, basically the yugioh license (including 5D's S2-3, the 2003 pyramid of light and the yugioh 3D movie, (Cherry lane) yugioh 4kids soundtracks, international merchandise, the card game (hurp), yugioh DM, GX, 5D's and ZEXAL broadcasting/license etc and also on page 51 (of the pdf) Konami gets the lease to 4kids' HQ in New York (this lease expires June 30th, 2017).

It looks like Pajanimals, Viva Pinata, and Thundercats (lol what) were unwanted by both parties?

All of this is pending court so we have to wait until June 20th for it to be all set…



well, goodbye 4kids as we knew it... e_e;;

I still don't understand all of the technical stuff, as to how this will effect future Yugioh broadcasts....but from the comments I keep seeing, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, but more bad. :(
You don't know how this will effect future Yugioh Zexal airings so far....(I was trying to record it for the sake of it, and I sure hope it doesn't get screwed over just as it started to be getting better. :/)
How does this effect the chances of the 10th Anniversary movie getting to DVD? ...I STILL Never got to see it :(...is this going to ruin any chances of finding it for sale entirely? :(...

*sigh*...when it rains it pours -_-
The government's dictator policies...
ISP's restarting the SOPA & PIPA tyranny and unconstitutional security..
...and now this...What the heck :|

Thats not fair they should have the voice actors/actress to fight in a anime voicing over work n who ever wins gets 2 decide.

I don't see why they would get rid of them. VA's will do anything to look for work even if it means transferring to another company. It would take Konami hours of auctions, time and money to find more VA so I think they should stick with the regular cast for Yugioh. Maybe we will finally get a re dub of Game of Darkness. The series never came out in America after all. Then we can get eventually get the un cut Yugioh we were promised until Al Kahn left them to sink or swim. Maybe we might get side stories of our favorite characeters, including the villians.

I don't think the contract included the Toei anime, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but... I'd be really surprised if it did, since most companies involved with that one seem to want to forget it ever existed.

I think uncut and/or dual-audio releases would be more likely than far less profitable redubs at this point, though. We'll see what they do with it, but I have a feeling redubs might not happen after all.

That is kind of surprising. I don't think they really wanted to leave it out because if they did (The company that has control over the yugioh manga,) it wouldn't have released the Game of Darkness in english. There has to be a reason for it.

Also doesn't Toei Animation have a contract with Funimation? It is the same company that help distribute the Yu-gi-oh dvds.

know lots of people critize Yu-gi-oh as a kids show, but if they saw the game of darkness they would change their tune really quick. All they would have to do is air brush Seto's hair brown and change the characters scheme and such and not show some parts of the series unless they make it un cut.

Hmm I guess at Comic Con I can ask them about it. Oh yes gonna find out what Komami is planning with Yu-ig-oh.

I'm sorry to hear about 4Kids, even though some of their anime English dubs kinda suck, but still, ones like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh did great with their voice acting, even though I never cared for the shows.

Viva Pinata was one of those shows they show early in the morning but I never really liked, but watched anyway because of Dan Green and now... ;__; at least no one can say "4kids ruined this and that" anymore...

hmm I'm going to miss the 4kids yugioh cast if the transition doesn't go smoothly. Although I don't care much what happens to 4kids I will miss all of the anime that it has introduced to me.
