I liked the latin american dub of Sonic X. It was decent.
Sadly, I couldn't say the same for some of the decisions that they took, one of them being that they replaced the names of all of the cast with their literal translations in spanish. Being Sonic the exception.

Therefore:
Tails => Colas
Knuckles => Nudillos (Pronounced "Nudeeyos")
Cream => Crema
Cheese => Queso
Shadow (..yes... motherfucking Shadow)=> SOMBRA.

Latin American dubs of Sonic X and Shaman King were uncensored right?

Shaman King yes. Sonic X no. If I remember, Sonic X was distributed by 4Kids.

Well, Shaman King was also distributed by 4Kids in North America and it was censored. Good to see some other countries outside of Japan still got to watch it uncensored. Was Kirby censored in Latin America?

I remember how horribly dubbed over the Mike Kirby scene was, eesh.

Regarding the Sonic series, this is actually because Sonic is most popular in Europe right now, and has been since around the release of Sonic Colours. Heck, in 2009, Sonic was voted as the UK's favourite video game character.

Americans kind of lost interest in Sonic for some reason. Not that the series is obscure in America, just not as popular as it once was. Does well enough for them to hold the Sonic Boom concert annually, as well as Sonic Generations of Skate.

And ironically, Sonic isn't very popular at all in Japan. I believe Japan is actually getting Lost World even later than America, or around the same time (not sure at this point because of the delay and all of that).

And while everyone is talking about anime, I'm currently watching the Kirby anime's English dub, on and off. I generally watch a few episodes and then come back to it a while later. I've been doing this since before summer, and I'm still not even half way through!
I think it's the only anime 4Kids didn't mess up on. With the exception of the first Pokémon series...maybe.

I'm also watching the Gundam Unicorn episodes as they come out. There's only one more left. I'll probably watch all previous episodes in the run-up to the last one, so it'll feel more fresh in my mind.

I really hate Kirby dub and I do think 4kids mess up on it. Most voices were annoying for me and was it really needed to censor anime about Kirby? Original version could have passed uncut in America since there was no content that is forbidden on American TV. Only 4kids shows that were ever good were TMNT and Pokemon. Rest of dubs are bad in my opinion.

The reason why I think they didn't mess up on the Kirby anime was because the voices were supposed to sound all cute and squeaky and childish anyway. Also, Dedede and Escargoon are pure gold to me, total brOTP. :P
I heard the Japanese version wasn't much different, or that they at least didn't warp the show into something totally different, like they did with Sonic X.

Also, the 4Kids Kirby theme song is bloody brilliant.

I legitimately love the Japanese version, but I really don't like the 4Kids dub.

I am not that big of a fan of Sonic X in general because of Chris but Japanese version is better.
I give Japanese 6/10
American is 3/10 for me
Other news, Mariotahplumber got terminated on YouTube for third time. All Sonic fans know who he is.

Hm, not all terminations on YouTube are fair, in fact I'd wager that a sizeable amount aren't.
As for Sonic X, it's a thing of the past now, let us look towards the Knuckles on 'roids.

I still find that line odd, given S3&K.
