The Japanese have some sick stuff. I remeber getting a doujinshi magazine from Spain that collects different doujinshi (Japanese not spanish) and it had a Cardcaptor Sakura one where she got raped. She's like 10 isn't she?! Although it did have a sexy yaoi one with Spike and Jet from Cowboy Bebop... It made a lot of use of the Spanish word 'chup' Yum!
Edit: Over on the new news at AnimeNation it says this:
"According to ICv2 News, 4Kids Entertainment has announced second quarter 2005 drops of 14% in sales and 68% in earnings compared to the same time period last year. 4Kids had $22.1 million in sales during second quarter 2004 but only $19 million this year; and $2 million in second quarter 2004 earnings compared to $631,000 this year.
CEO Al Kahn attributed the decline to lower home video and international TV sales, and dropping sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Kirby merchandise."
Maybe they'll learn not to butcher everything they get their hands on...
