They had the trademark (?) but they never actually dubbed the show.

Just to let you know I like to use examples because of the reflection of the industry as a whole. I'm pretty old school so the first anime shows I remember as a Kid were Voltron(both), Robotech/Macross and Tranzor Z/Mazinger Z. I've since seen these in the original Japanese(subbed) and liked them better that way. The Censors really got us in the '80s and '90s and things like the Pokemon anime haven't learned their lessons: 1. Kids are smarter than you give them credit for and 2. Anime fans hate bad cuts.

Fairly recently I saw a toy anime that was small robots...one had a Sniper rifle and in the dub version it had a stupid looking big white blob over the end of the gun barrel(It's a gun Stupid! ...and it's not shooting people just other robots!) Oh will you please be quiet?!
