In the eyes of many, 4Kids Entertainment has ruined many anime series, such as Sonic X, Tokyo Mew Mew, Shaman King, One Piece, etc., with pointless and unnecessary edits, and poor choices in voice acting. Even 4Kids's C.E.O., Alfred Kahn, has made several controversial statements, such as "kids today don't read", and "Japan is over".

The actions of 4Kids has caused many Sonic fans and anime fans alike to rant against them on YouTube.

However, in February 2008, several users had their rants removed by 4Kids for "copyright infringement", despite the fact that they did not contain any 4Kids content. Later, in March, one user named RavenCrow89 was banned by 4Kids. RavenCrow had spent nearly 2 years working to get where he was, and 4Kids took it away from him in an instant. His friends have announced that he is never going to return to YouTube.

This is a complete outrage. 4Kids should NOT be silencing fans like this. Editing anime badly is one thing, but destroying someone's hard work is unforgivable. RavenCrow was merely voicing his opinion, and he did not deserve to be banned for that.

4Kids Entertainment must be stopped at all costs.
