Found this link on lelola.net (post 3/16/2006), thought it was interesting to read...

4Kids profits down 60% compared to 2004

[BlackjackGabbiani]

Could it have to do with Pokemon USA buying Pokemon back from them?

Interesting how they don't list sources on some of the things...

Yeah, when I saw that on ANN I lol'd, though, I am not sure lol'd would be the correct term to use there. Perhapes loled. But, that just sounds weird.

Anyways, I laughed out loud.

I hate 4Kids.

With the passion of a thousand burning suns.

Poor poor One Piece.

I would love to say they lost profits because of the "work" they did on One Piece and several others but I have nothing to back it up.  But still, it has to hurt the company somehow when a large chunk of the anime fan community considers one of your main shows to be the worst dub created.

Yes Zorro, the girl you made a promise to got injured and can no longer fight.  She's still alive but you'll never see her or hear about her ever again.

(Sorry, by chance I saw that episode, was curious how they did, and couldn't believe what they did to it)
