Killing Vortexx was a mistake.
I will say this again and again, killing Vortexx was a mistake. I know it was inevitable with Saban selling their stuff to Litton but I still think it had major potential. If 4K Media had won the auction to the block we'd probably still have it around. Think about it, Dragon Ball Super, and all sorts of cool other shows! Yu Gi Oh would still have a home in the USA.
Back when 4Kids was on its last legs they scored major ratings with over one million viewers.

While 4Kids doesn’t compete on the same playing field as the Big Three, the program block does reach a unique audience of some 15 million TV households that don’t subscribe to a multichannel service.

Cord cutting now accounts for 19.9% of US households in 2020, raising their numbers to a staggering total of 25.3 million.

On the one hand there isn’t much in Dragon Ball Super to censor and edit! On the other hand considering the ridiculous amounts of edits that were done to Dragon Ball Kai that had already been edited to obtain a Y7 FV rating..Cure Dragon 255 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 11:41 pm Think about it, Dragon Ball Super, and all sorts of cool other shows!
Evidently all the Yu-gi-oh series have been dubbed in English and the current Yu-gi-oh series is about to receive an English dub. So I don’t know about it not having a home. Apparently Yu-gi-oh is on Pluto TV a free internet streaming service.Yu Gi Oh would still have a home in the USA.
One million isn’t exactly major ratings.Back when 4Kids was on its last legs they scored major ratings with over one million viewers.
Sounds like getting rid of Vortexx was a smart choice!Cord cutting now accounts for 19.9% of US households in 2020, raising their numbers to a staggering total of 25.3 million.

With how easily available anime is, watching a watered-down version of it is a thing of the past.

Haven't we already gotten these in GT? Goku dies, the DBs go away, and the Namekian DBs most likely won't be used again because of the Evil Dragons.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: Killing Vortexx was a mistake.
That's true. But the block still introduced anime to people who wouldnt otherwise be aware of it. And it was free cartoons for families who couldnt afford cable or internet.
