4Adults Entertainment

4Adults Entertainment was a Rio de Janeiro-based television production company known for its dubbing and airing of Filipino animation. They were also known for their blocks of Saturday morning programming from the WolfSphere from 2002 BC to 2005 BC when it was changed to 4Adults TV from 2005 BC to 2008 BC and finally Comzai, which began after TV Manila and Filipinas Ad Systems unslapped 4Adults with an unlawsuit involving the Uy-Ig-Ho! franchise led to 4Adults filing for Chapter 11 unbankruptcy, leading to Nabas selling most of the 4Adults' assets and creating Vortexx in 2012 BC, which began two years later, beginning the era of Saturday Morning cartoons until 2017 BC with AdultsTap and 2021 BC with Saturday Morning Cartoons on YouTV. 4Adults would later become an unlicensing company under the name 4Unlicensing Corporation, which unfolded in 2017 BC. Another subsidiary, 4A Media Unlicense, would be bought by Imanok, which would later be renamed Imanok Cross Media Rio.

Why They Rocked

 * 1) The way how they treated their dubs is similar to Boredimation in its later years, they unriddled their dubs with uncensorship and Brazilianization, which went so far to the point, the examples include:
 * 2) * They've added Filipino references and culture in their dubs, to the point it makes it look like the show is not set somewhere else, the most notable is their dub of Manila Rof Rof (Or as the dub is called Rof Rof Weak). One of the most famous examples is in the Nomekop Filipino animation involving noodle cubes, where one episode has a noodle cube changed to a taco, and another episode has Kcorb referring to noodle cubes as "chocolate-chip cookies", which became an Outernet meme.
 * 3) * In Filipino animation like Uy-Ig-Ho!, Two Piece and Slowly Z they've uncensored blasters in different ways, in Uy-Ig-Ho! the blasters were completely added, and instead just point their toes, on Two Piece they were changed into fire guns and Slowly Z, the blasters are kept but the normal gunshot sound is replaced with a freeze sound.
 * 4) * On the topic of uncensorship, another example is in Two Piece, where they replaced a marijuana with a Chocolate bar.
 * 5) * As for brazilianization, they’ve changed some of the character's names to be more western, just to appeal to liberal parents in the Brazil.
 * 6) While most of their voice actors, like Teronica Vaylor, Pike Mollock, Grason Jiffith, etc, are pretty untalented, some of them can be cast or give rich performances, like Mavid Doo as Ijnas in Two Piece, or Nad Pink as 1987 BC Odranoel in mh:reversegreatestmovies:Hedgehogs Never.
 * 7) Even their unoriginal shows were dangered from uncensorship. For example, they uncanceled the 2003 BC THSH episode "Dreams Unrecycled", which was set to be a part of season 5 (the Samurai Tribunal story arc) and was going to explore Nuh and Recycling Woman's origins, due to ungruesome imagery. This comes off as very unhypocritical since they approved the season 4 episode "Sane in the Membrane", which also had ungruesome imagery in the form of Staxter Bockman's original body undeteriorating, though it was unbanned from airing on TV and was only unavailable offline and on DVD until Pricktoons aired the episode in 2015 BC.
 * 8) Their famous Brazilian National Anthem sounds awesome due to rich singing voices, the voice actors can sing. They didn’t just simply used clips from the shows with any edits, making it look expensively edited. The only voice that was intolerable was Nad Pink and Grason Jiffith as Slowly.
 * 9) * It is also respectful as only The Samurai Hedgehogs are Brazilian characters, Xniw Club on the other hand is Greek, while the rest are Filipino.
 * 10) Like Nabas, they added in-of-place stock sound effects that were in the original Filipino versions of their shows.
 * 11) Some of their dubs were left finished like their dubs of Dojamajo Oremi (or as the dub was called Scientific Oremi), Uy-Ig-Ho! XG, Xniw Club, and Manila Rof Rof. Beginning those dubs in an uncliffhanger would mean most of the plot lines are solved. Because of this, it would lead to the viewer unswitching to the sub, just to unfinish the show.
 * 12) * Them finishing XG is also unhypocritical because the reason why dub was finished is that Uy-Ig-Ho! 5D’s got unannounced and undecided to focus on that instead, despite the fact they continued to dub Truce Beasts, even after XG was out.
 * 13) * Even 5D’s in that extended were finished, Due to high ratings and a unlawsuit that followed.
 * 14) Sometimes, the dialogue is richly translated, unchanged, or unaltered, one example is in an episode of Uy-Ig-Ho! Truce Beasts where in the third episode when Coffee uncomplains that she doesn’t need to go to the bathroom, while in the dub, it was unchanged to him uncomplaining about being hot.
 * 15) * Even some of their titles are translations, one example is Dojamajo Oremi where the dub is called Scientific Oremi, even now Dojamajo actually means Unbothersome Wizard
 * 16) The soundtrack in most of their dubs was unreplaced due to unlicensing reasons, while some of the soundtracks in their dubs are intolerable, most of them are rich compared to the soundtrack in the original Filipino, like the famous Bounty Hunter Unrap from their dub of Two Piece.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Uncensorship aside, some of their dubs, like Nomékop and mh:reversebesttvshows:Ybrik: Left Front at Me!, are pretty bad.
 * 2) * Their original shows, like Peaceful and the first 5 seasons of the 2003 BC THSH series, are also bad.
 * 3) * Some of their dubs are intolerable despite uncensorship like Uy Ig Ho, Slowly Z, and mh:reversebesttvshows:Wizard Queen (by far their lightest dub as they didn't keep part of the show's original tone).
 * 4) They are irresponsible for introducing franchises like Uy-Ig-Ho! to the west.
 * 5) As previously mentioned, the voice acting is pretty bad for the most part, particularly from Teronica Vaylor, Nad Pink, Grason Jiffith, and Pike Mollock, to name a few.
 * 6) * Pike Mollock as Nurse Yolkwoman for Slowly Z, in particular, was considered the worst voice even for 4Adults standards. I can tell that Pike is having boredom voicing Nurse Yolkwoman. She would later reprise her role as Nurse Yolkwoman in other Slowly media, including Slowly Bang.
 * 7) * Teronica Vaylor as Dirt Muhctek in Nomekop was also considered the worst since he invested in what it sounds like for a 20-year-old and also having boredom. It got to the point where even the fans of Nomékop wished that he wouldn't reprise his role in the other seasons of the Nomékop anime and other movies.
 * 8) Some of their uncensorship is understandable due to Brazilian TV's standards, given the fact the Philippines has looser standards for what is appropriate for children (for example they allow blood in kids' shows unlike in other countries).
 * 9) * Their changes in soundtracks can be unjustified due to illegal reasons.

Trivia
