Funi or Viz, I prefer them... if 4-shits get it then expect a worse fate than DIC

Funi might be the better choice, especially since I think Viz is currently suffering from a massive case of shounen-itis at this point with that they're mostly focusing on these days.

In response, Galaxia-sama, let's look at a few comparisons.
(I... I don't get the Magic Pumpkin either. It's kinda creepy.)

unfortunately, some of those failures are actually revered here in the states...
Pokemon (4-kids actually lost this license so only the first 4 seasons really count...), Yu-Gi-Oh, Ultimate Muscle (orignally a violent manga, the anime kinda makes more sense... I'm not bashing 4-kids on this. Professional Wrestling is a show not an act of war... i feel it would have been too silly with the deaths intact), Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (4-kids actually took something seriously here... unfortunately since the turtles aren't known for killing, it's pretty much the 80 cartoon with a darker tone. Still silly which is good, but the gritty art style and atmosphere doesn't fit the comedy... also shredder and krang have been fused into one character that pisses me off. Utrom Shredder is badass but he sucks without armor... also Karai isn't as fearsome as she used to be, she's just a sex symbol now like April. Again, not a bad thing), Winx Club (not so much anymore...), Shaman King (surprisingly this one isn't that bad if you forget that THEY FUCKING CHANNEL GHOSTS FOR FIGHTS TO THE DEATH FOR LITERALLY 90% OF THE STORY)...
Point I'm making? Sometimes they hit the mark with the right kind of sheep, I am not one of them... but some of the success can be blamed on how marketable the title is. (Pokemon was a video game first and Yu-Gi-Oh is just a 30 minute card game commercial with plot) I think 4-kids should stick with what they can make in house... they shouldn't be able to touch anime or rape my childhood memories.

I almost forgot, Winx Club is actually Italian (may have mentioned this before... but I'm saying it again) so Japan isn't the only country that 4-kids is willing to ruin US alliance with.

Ah, I knew that. Really, though, they're just like many other companies - exploiting whatever they can get their hands on in order to make lots of money. If that means bastardizing foreign shows, so be it.

I know another company that did that in the 90's but they were a little more successful thanks to deals with Bandai for toys and games... do you all remember Saban?
If it wasn't for Saban being outbid for Sailor Moon, we wouldn't have Power Rangers. As much as I love Tokusatsu Sentai and Kaiju, I'm not too disappointed with how the americanized versions turned out... hell they even got original recently.
