I don't blame 4kids for not wanting to go bankrupt trying to pay for the rights to use the original voice cast and music. Ironically, 4Kids did go bankrupt anyway. When they emerged from bankruptcy, they had been restructured as the more sterile-sounding 4Licensing Corporation. HA-serves em right for what they did to One Piece. So....SO bad. Do you know the story behind them dubbing One Piece (My favorite Manga)? They got the license in a package deal and were shocked that it was in the deal at all because One Piece is rated 14+ in Japan! They had to cut and change so much because the higher ups wouldn't let them release it until they did so. A lot of the people who worked on the dub became fans of the series and wish they could have done a proper dub of the anime. I can actually believe that, and if that ain't a damn shame. Still, the higher ups shouldn't have done that.

@Gilgamesh I know and I LOVE IT- mostly. Some lines they butcher, like Sanji's famous "You can alwasy forgive, the lies women tell", SO smoothe, the moment that cemented him as one of my favorite characters of all time. Funimations version though "If a woman lies, you might as well forgive her". Just...what the shell was that? BUT that's just a minor complaint, all the Funimated actors are PERFECT fits, unlike say their Attack on Titan dub which...yeah that was a hodge podge.
