  Uhh… no? Despite the fact that a lot of anime they dubbed was shounen, so for teens (but obviously they wouldn’t know because cartoons are only kid stuff in their head), if they only censored sexualization of minors, or sexualization at all, people would be much, much less mad.

  They censored every small mention of blood and death and most japanese cultural references, changed 90% of the names and soundtrack, straight-up skipped episodes and oversimplified dialogues dumbing down every message the series might’ve tried to convey. That’s criminal. Yu-Gi-Oh is literally a different series outside of Japan. I’ve seen series/games where the only censorship is on sexualization, and the backlash is nowhere nearly that bad.

  Not to mention they also had horrible practices towards voice actors and licensors, so really, there’s no reason not to hate those pieces of shit.

    Yeah, they went the extra mile to deliver higher quality dubs compared to Funimaton

      Ah yes, more denaturalization of the original product = higher quality. Wonder why they didn’t have Captain Europe when localizing Marvel movies.

      And then people wonder why anime dubs have a bad reputation when the biggest companies producing them were literally in a race for who could fuck more shit up.
