I have to agree that the name itself isn't a big deal. The only problem I have with this new name is now I will never watch Saturday morning cartoons again or admit that I once watched them. At least with a name like "Fox Box" you could defend yourself by saying that their shows aren't just for kids. Of course, I haven't watched Fox on Saturday mornings since Fox Kids left, so yeah. And that logo was the most awful thing I had ever seen.
The least they could've done was create a cooler logo that could appeal to all ages instead of just the little kiddies. Is Disney the only one who still believes in family entertainment these days? I didn't watch the promontional video as I closed the the page the moment the kids started screaming and the cartoon characters popped up, but that green background was awful. You should never build a website with the color green as your background. o.O

Wow, that logo...just...wow. The ruins of Fox Kids have been buried. Why did Fox Kids have to go?  Well, as much as that logo sucks, I'll still watch Shaman King and Sonic X until they end. I'll just cover my eyes during the commercials. Those shows are the only reason I watched Fox Box in the first place. Unfortunately, we've seen this coming for a while. 4Kids owns almost every show on the Fox Box so I'm not really surprised that they decided to name the programming block after themselves. This really is starting to smell like a monopoly. The logo and the 4Kids 5 will be hard to swallow, but I stand by Shaman King and Sonic X. But if they rape some other poor character like they did with Shadow's backstory, then I've had it! And really, laughing children? That has been the intro to how many horror films? Next is Children of the Corn, uh, I mean 4Kids TV! |

This really is starting to smell like a monopoly. 4Kids is the one paying for that entire Saturday morning block. I don't see how you can call it a monopoly. I think it was dumb they even kept the "Fox" name in their block when it isn't even Fox that's paying for it. |

Yeah, what the heck is up with the 4kids 5? They are just digusting, really, and an insult to all of us musicians. To music in general, really. I was wondering, am I the only onbe here who atches PBSKIDS? They have some good stuff, really. Better than most of the 4kids crap I'm anticipating. I can't believe they've actually admitted to what they are doing, although it has always been blatantly obvious.
I wonder how many more companies will do this sort of thing?

With this new name, I think 4Kids is really trying to tell teenage fans of anime to f*ck off, and let their favorite anime be turned into little kid shows.  |

*bursts into tears* I saw the commercial as I turned on the end of Winx Club, and I saw the 4 Kids TV and started screaming and almost burst into tears. This is just too much to take! And then I got nostalgic and started remembering the days it was just Fox Kids...aaaah those were the days. |

The logo disgusts me! Omg, how can it be named 4Kids.tv?!!!? So ever person who ask you wat you watch you have to say 4Kids.tv? with the [dot] Tv at the end? And if you just say 4kids they think its 4kids entertainment studio! I seriously hate the new logo... it is soo rainbowy....they even changed their address to 4kids.tv!!! Do you guys still know that foxkids.com still works? It took me a few weeks to get use to the FoxBox name, it isn't quite that bad, and i think it might take me forever to get use to 4kids [dot] Tv... such an aweful name... y did they change it? why?  ? I am upset so i will write about this no longer... stupid 4Kids Enterainment studio... money greedy......pigs |

The reason why some people hate the name change is because it "rubs in" the fact that 4Kids owns the block, and people in general hate the new color scheme.
On the other hand, it does make sense to be "honest".

Isn't Inuyasha already on Cartoon Network?
And please don't go on a swearing spree or whatever your question was. I don't quite understand it.
I mena I have to agree with Lovely. Nothing is changing on this channel. The shows aren't moving. The only thing that has changed is the name and the color scheme.
I haven't looked at the channel yet and I don't plan to because I saw the logo and it disturbs me. But I have no problem with the name change. It doesn't really matter.

Inuyasha has been on Cartoon Network for a while now.
Anyways, I watched Shaman King and the logo didn't really bother me all that much. It was kind of annoying having that brightly colored logo at the bottom corner during the show. What I do hate is how they are doing the credits now at the end of the shows. Even if you wanted to read them you can't. But I guess kids could care less about credits anyways...*shrug*
Although, when the characters kept saying "we're 4kids" during the commercial breaks I couldn't help but feel slightly disturbed and amusement at the same time.
