Do y'all agree these 3 shows are considered one of 4kids best dubs and their least censored?

As a guy who is not a big fan of 4kids, mainly because they been playing it safe with alot of shows they dubbed but editing them out or censoring the hell out of them that isn't suitable for the younger demographic, like violence, deaths, etc. But on the other hand, these shows I mentioned might be one of the very few 4kids dubs that are done properly right and doesn't have much censorship as you think. I just wish the kirby 4kids dub had a rerelease on blu-ray set tho, since both Ultimate muscle and Shaman king had one back in 2022. But anyways what are your thoughts on these shows, do you think 3 of these are one of 4kids better dubs?

Kirby, yes.

As for the other two, well... I haven't seen them.

I remember enjoying "Sonic X's" dub. Hell, I'd even go as far to say that I prefer the English VAs to the original Japanese VAs.

The first two were a bit after my time, but I was pretty into Ultimate Muscle. What about fighting foodons? That was pretty ostentatiously Japanese if memory serves.

Early Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were good too. Also don't sleep on F-Zero.

Shaman King is really good. Watch this. It's the 2nd episode but it tells Amidamaru's backstory.

Sonic X has a terrible dub. It has lots of censorship, a worse soundtrack, and worse voice acting.
 
Season 3 is peak though!
Season 3 was definitely the best and most solid season of Sonic x at least in the japanese version.

Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh dub is also fine as well, especially Pokemon which had alot of humorous moments. F-zero GP legend is pretty solid too, which 4kids didnt have to cancelled it all because it didn't do well ratings wise

they were all on Fox Kids at the same time.
 
Doesn't matter Uncle Ben, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TURTLES COUNT IT OFF is better than all 3 of em'

The story behind Faust VIII is pretty messed up too. The dude carries around the skeleton of his dead wife who was shot in the head. His goal is to discover a way to bring her back. When he summons her ghost, she takes her old form when she was alive and even assists him in battle. If he breaks a bone, she goes digging in a graveyard for a replacement.

I'd like to also point out that the best 4Kids shows mostly consisted of video game adaptations or Shonen Jump anime.

I'm not gonna lie, I actually genuinely still love the intro they did for Shaman King. Like 4Kids did A LOT wrong, but this was one of the few good things they did. Not sure I'd say it's better than the original Japanese OP's though.
 
I am so glad 4Kids didn’t fuck up the Kirby anime (aside from removing music from the games). Unlike Sonic X.

Yeah but 4Kids also took out the F-Zero music from the anime dub. I mean it was music from the games! Why remove it? Pokemon got to keep it's game music in the anime.
 
4Kids removing the music from the games was such a weird decision.

Blame it on copyright and licensing issues.
