The Future of 4Kids & Yu-Gi-Oh

via Nebs Anime Blog



By now the news about TV Tokyo & NAS suing 4Kids Entertainment over their license of Yu-Gi-Oh has been heard by all. The Japanese companies are accusing 4Kids of underpayments & kickbacks, as well as conspiring with FUnimation to defraud. As a result, they wish to permanently terminate their Yu-Gi-Oh deal with the American company. Naturally 4Kids fought back, filing a shareholders' report on the lawsuit. They're trying to dispute the suit & stop the license withdrawal, but said they were prepared to enter bankruptcy protection if needed. While threatening to file for Chapter 11 if they couldn't settle, 4Kids issued the following statement:

“If such attempts [to settle the dispute] are unsuccessful, 4Kids intends to take all actions it deems necessary to preserve its business and assets, including the potential filing of a petition under Chapter 121 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.”


But the latest development, made several days after the threat, shows 4Kids Entertainment has indeed filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company listed assets of $23,372,000 & liabilities of $16,526,000. Its largest creditor is, surprisingly, the Pokemon Company, to which they owe $4.7 million. 4Kids of course famously lost their Pokemon license five years ago, but yet it seems they still owe them money for their once largest property. Flash forward half a decade later, & 4Kids is in serious danger of losing their current largest property. They're currently using Chapter 11 as a shield to protect themselves from losing Yu-Gi-Oh, but if/when they actually do lose it, then that's it for them. The company will truly be in danger since they'll have no big properties left, & will truly go bankrupt.

Fifth Yu-Gi-Oh Series in Development?

via Nebs Anime Blog



Yu-Gi-Oh Zexalm the fourth in the series, hasn't even started yet. But already word has gotten out that the creators are in the early stages of development for the fifth series, which will eventually be replacing Zexal. It appears that Zexal was never intended to run as long as its predecesors, & seems to be lasting only a year at most. So what does next year hold for us card game fans?

Enter "Yu-Gi-Oh Thunder!" Not a whole lot is known about Thunder yet, but one fact that has been discovered is that for the first time ever, the primary protagonist of a Yu-Gi-Oh series will be female. Aside from the above leaked pic, the following information about the girl & her rival have been revealed:

Character's name: Sendai Yua (girl in pic)
Age: 17
Ace Monster: Destiny Dragon

The Trench coat Rival: Yagami Fujiko
Age: 18
Ace Monster: Destiny Sabre

Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Insert Song Revealed

via Nebs Anime Blog



According to the Japanese Nintendo BBS site, the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal anime series will be getting an insert song, in addition to the standard opening & ending themes. The song is listed as being called "FRIDAY," by a new artist going by レベッカブラック. A PV for the song has already been released, which you can watch above. I must say, it's quite catchy.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged 51

Episode 51 - The Death Of Tristan Taylor

Yikes, can you believe it's been almost five months since the last new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged? & a lot has happened to the franchise since then, but mainly in the past few days. Never has LK's joke subtitle of "the Canceled Series" been more appropriate.

SUPER GIGA MECHA NESBITT
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO
SUPER GIGA MECHA NESBITT
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO
SUPER GIGA MECHA NESBITT
(IT'S SUPER GIGA MECHA NESBITT)

You know, Duke showing off that Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal card really made me think. When Lk started this whole thing, GX was still on the air. Now, not only has that show ended, but a whole other series (5D's) has now come & gone as well. Let's just hope that whenever Zexal ends & is replaced with another spinoff, the Abridged Series will still be going strong!

RIP, Tristan Timothy Taylor

Shonen Jump Looks at Future Online Content

via Nebs Anime Blog



The latest issue of Shonen Jump arrived today, which devoted a sizable amount of coverage to Yu-Gi-Oh in honor of the 3D movie coming soon. But besides that, they also spent a lot of time covering what to expect from their online content over the course of February, both for video & e-manga.

The most surprising news was the announcement that they’d be streaming the Shonen Jump series Neuro from a few years back. The series has never before been announced as licensed or released in North America, so this’ll be the first time Americans will be able to watch the series legally. The manga has also yet to be released in the US, but with this news it may not be far off. After all, Viz streamed Nura long before announcing that the manga had been licensed. In other online anime news, they announced that beginning in February, English dubbed episodes of Naruto Shippuden will now be appearing on iTunes the day after they air on Disney XD. Unlike Disney XD though, I think it’s safe to assume that these episodes will be uncut.

In the e-manga department, Viz is keen on continuing to grow & expand their iPad e-reader app. Lots of new chapters will be continuously added each week, with at least six from various different series every Tuesday. Three new series will also be added- Rosario+Vampire, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, & DragonBall Z. While I’m happy seeing Viz add more & more titles (since I’m a big supporter of legal online digital manga & books), I’m still hoping that they’ll start doing day & date releases. Once they begin releasing digital manga the same day the print edition is released in stores, then I’ll be impressed.

Finally, with the next issue being their 100th, Shonen Jump is giving its readers something special. They’ll be publishing the one-off DBZ One Piece crossover manga Cross Epoch, which will be the first time its seen an official American release. Look forward to it!
