>>15587987They renewed it yes, but do you know WHY they renewed it? Because 4Kids was one of the only games in town and one of the FEW that had presence on TV. Viz had mostly only gotten older shows on, Funimation was smaller than it is now, and Saban eventually sold its rights off to Disney. What were the other options? ADV? Primarily focused on home video releases.
And you said they knew it was being pitched; people hear "rumblings" all the time. That doesn't mean she has insider information about what they're casting based on, or what the voice director is ultimately telling them.
And you're right, Cathcart WAS using an alias. Because of what I kept telling you in OTHER threads, that 4Kids and TCPi are both based on rules that certain actors can only act with certain groups and in certain areas. He also wasn't an " outlier", he had written for every season of the fucking anime.
It also proves that 4Kids didn't assign contracts to their actors and writers, because you can't sign a contract with a fictional person. You can pay them, you can put "Jimmy Zoppi" in the credits, but a contract is a matter of public record.
But... You know what? Even if all of this wasn't true, you're still a stupid ass. You know why? Because 4Kids was making the show objectively WORSE. You said in another thread that that all they got was a couple Pokemon's names wrong, but it was far more than that. Entire subplots and characterizations were changed. Chronicles was a verifiable trainwreck. They clearly didn't respect the brand, and even then, they were a bunch of crooks. They don't deserve Pokemon on that merit alone, or any other series.
It is quantifiable that the new dub is more accurate to the original script. Everything else, including the quality if the voice actors and translation, is subjective.
If your primary priority is that the company taking over the job is being paid less and that some old voice actors got left out in the cold... Well, that's your perogativd.
