4Kids, well, to put it politely, doesn't really understand anime. Somewhere up in that company, someone said, "To hell - heck, I mean - with this! Anything that's a cartoon is for children, and should be marketed as such!" They then went proceeded to rip out (no, no erase) any traces of violence (this includes plot-essential points). Not only that, but they also did what I personally think is far worse - removing references to Japanese culture. This is what would happen if 4Kids got its hands on CLAMP's artistic masterpiece, X(also known as X/1999)!

Edit Number One: X is an anime. Anime is animation. Animation is for children. Therefore, we, 4Kids, will market it to eight-year-olds.

Edit Number Two: X is about the apocalypse, as in the end of days. The bringing about of the destruction of mankind is dangerous to children. This series shall from here on be a magical girl story.

Edit Number Three: X is beyond way too violent. Nobody will ever be hurt in any way, and there will be no blood or guts. And Arashi's sword will be a wand, and it won't come out of her hand. It will be pink.

Edit Number Four: Oh, and there won't be anymore death either. Everyone will 'go to a happy place' from this point on.

Edit Number Five: There are no homosexual relationships. Period. Seishirou is straight, no questions asked.

Edit Number Six: Oh, screw that last rule. There won't be any relationships at all.

Edit Number Seven: Kamui is too girly, and will give children gender issues later in life. Kamui will now be the lead magical girl.

Edit Number Eight: This story now takes place in America, because Japan is evil and harmful to our children. The Diet Building, the Tokyo Tower, etc., etc., will all be poorly airbrushed out. Also, everyone will eat American food. No more rice balls. Rice balls are evil and want to indoctrinate our children into being Japan-lovers.

Edit Number Nine: Everyone needs English names. The Japanese names are scary and difficult to pronounce. The names will be as follows:

Kamui - Katie (He's a girl, remember?)

Subaru - Sally (He's also too feminine.)

Arashi - Amy

Sorata - Bob (He will become the bearer of bad jokes and even worse puns.)

Karen - Karen (She will be a nurse from now on. And not a sexy one.)

Yuzuriha - Kiki

Seiichiro - Edgar

Fuuma - Fred

Yuuto - Dan

Satsuki - Janet

Kusanagi - Rocky

Seishirou - James

Nataku - Natalie (Officially a woman now. No questions asked.)

Kanoe - Carrie

Kotori - Crystal

Hinoto - Ella

Edit Number Ten: This anime shall be marketed under the name "Pretty X Power."

This concludes the edits to CLAMP's "X" anime. 4Kids is not responsible for any seizures, death, spontaneous pants wetting, crack!Fics, and/or rabid fangirl attacks.

And really, Seishirou is straight.
