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

[KaiserMk7]

Not to mention the story is a watered down version of the Adventure games.

Isn't that just a couple of of the arcs?

 

[Miles Miles]

Better line deliveries.

Nope. The Japanese line deliveries were way better.

Kirby is fine, but some scenes got cut due to either time/censored, and 4Kids used their own dubbed music over a phenomenal orchestrated score from the Japanese original that a few tracks would later be used for Kirby's Air Ride soundtrack.

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?

hmmmmmm.... i got some.

kirby right back at ya!: king dee dee dee as dr.eggman & kirby as sonic the hedgehog
shaman king: couldn't reach adultswim because the author only made 71 episodes of it because the manga was so rated R.
ultimate muscle: WWF Anime if goku was there.

it's Kirby. What in the world would you have to censor? That little Poyo is precious.

I'm not a huge fan of the Ultimate Muscle dub because of certain changes, but I guess it was the least censored... But y'know, the actual anime is also censored from the manga.

The Ultimate Muscle manga is really heavy sometimes, and I like to think that 4kids didn't ask for a new season because they saw the manga and went "NOPE!" :V

There's an episode with a gun, and there are many anime-exclusive characters.

I'm not sure since I haven't watched those ones before.

 

[Santana2011]

They did remove that scene where Kirby wields a gun, but even aside from that the Kirby 4kids dub actually wasn't changed much compared to like most of like 90% of the other 4kids dubs. Since the Kirby anime was actually aimed for children.

They don't aired 4kids on my country but they dub to my language and on subs.

These obviously.

 

[HANK ARISEN]

they were all on Fox Kids at the same time.

don't be spout off nonsense. Shaman King didn't air in the US until 2003, ultimate muscle and kirby first aired in 2002, but I don't remember ever seeing so much as a "coming up next" featuring Kirby. Considering he was one of my favorite fighters in Smash64, I would have noticed. Must have been a regional thing.

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Sonic X has a terrible dub. It has lots of censorship, a worse soundtrack, and worse voice acting.

Sounds like your run of the mill Sonic game..How is this bad?

The dub of Sonic X is way worse than the dubs of the games. The game dubs don't cut out parts of the story like the Sonic X dub does.
