According to this scan, the anniversary movie DVD releease for Japan is set for 6/15/2011. It will be available in regular DVD and Blue Ray. It is also confirmed to be released in the UK for DVD/BlueRay sometime soon. The reason why the US hasn't annouced it yet is because 4kids has no US DVD distributer yet.

Even the monsters from Silent Hill look better than this new boy from Zexal.

 

[Kai Schulen]

This is relevant, right? (If not, split the thread?)

Sucks that this is going to delay the movie's release on DVD big time. (Also, too many fucking smilies.)

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Now we just need to hold out hope for a good animation company to pick up the license and go back to the original series and do a proper dub, without the Shadow Realm-Heart of the Cards bullshit.

 

[ForceStealer]

stating that 4Kids now owes the companies US$4,792,460.36.

lol, 4kids doesn't have that much money.


Anyway, I don't suppose anyone saw the movie? Mako?

Update on the whole 4kids lawsuit business:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-03-31/4kids-files-shareholders-report-on-yu-gi-oh-lawsuit

...I don't get what this means legally. :< Someone care to explain?

 

[ForceStealer]

Which part don't you get specifically? TV Tokyo thinks that 4kids and Funimation are conspiring to cheat them out of money and so wants to revoke the license to produce Yu-Gi-Oh and pay them a bunch. 4kids denied it but paid TV Tokyo a million dollars as a sign of good faith, hoping TV Tokyo would back off. They didn't, and so now 4kids said they will declare bankruptcy if they have to to stay in business and countersue TV Tokyo.

 

[Kai Schulen]

I didn't quite get the "[4kids] informed the two licensors that their letter of termination "did not comply with the 10 business day notice and cure provision" written in the agreement, and states that it has rejected the termination letter "as wrongful and devoid of any factual and legal basis."" bit. XP

Thanks for clearing that up though.

 

[Kai Schulen]

Double posting but:

Hallelujah, praise Zeus and hail Satan?

Edit: Nevermind, I thought this was like the real end of 4kids.

 

[ForceStealer]

First good one in awhile. It does still kinda die out about halfway through, but the beginning made me laugh.

"Okay, since when did this show become AMAZING"


Also, Mako you wanna give us a review of the movie?

 

[Kai Schulen]

Yeah, Mako, how about that review, huh?!

Also, this makes me wish HD existed when I watched YGO:

(Expand and watch it in HD~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Jesuschrist, just look how vibrant the colors are and that lens flare on the millennium items...

 

[ForceStealer]

Here are some interviews with the voice actors:

I have never seen Pegasus' actor before, its cool to hear what he normally sounds like and the occasional word that sounds like Pegasus As we've discussed before, he realyl was one of the dubs high points. The way he would occasionally drop from his flamboyant voice to the deep evil one was always great.

lol, even the actors know Jaden's lame

Those are the ones I cared about, but here are the others if you like.

 

[Celes Chere]

I agree that Yusei is the coolest.

 

[ForceStealer]

This is all I have to say to you:

 

[Celes Chere]

GUUUUUURL.

 

[ForceStealer]

Ooh, they actually allow punching and stuff now?

 

[Celes Chere]

You never watched 5Ds, Forcie?

Yusei x milk = otp btw... I should take that to the crack pairings thread. =w=

 

[ForceStealer]

I've seen like 2 episodes.

 

[Celes Chere]

Wat? Watch it all. ;n;

The last episode... BAAAW.

 

[Makoeyes987]

No. Don't watch it all. Skip 3/4ths of Season 3 and go straight to the last part after the WRGP tournament arc is done, and spare yourself some of the most crappy YGO episodes in recent memory.

Oh wait, there's Zexal. Nevermind

And Yusei's about as cool as frozen tofu. Bland, tasteless, and boring. Its like someone sucked his soul out after Season 2 or something.

 

[Kai Schulen]

Season 3. Just....season 3.



Although I do have to say

Spoiler

that one last duel between Jack and Yuusei and Yuusei using all his old cards and Junk Warrior smashing the shit outta Red Demon's Dragon? Epic and heartwarming.

...Still doesn't excuse season 3 or the fact that Jack/Carly doesn't exist in the eyes of the writers jhahfdshfdjhdhdsjhhdjddf I don't think I can ever ship anything in YGO ever again.

Finally just watched the movie in Japanese and I have to say that Yuusei using keigo and being all polite towards Juudai and Yuugi is mind boggling. Also, new OT3: Yuugi/Juudai/Yuusei

 

[hapinasupi]

hello everybody!*wave*

 

[ForceStealer]

The abridged version of the film is out...but I wanna watch it for real first...not sure where to find it though.

You cand find it in both english and japenese on you tube.

 

[ForceStealer]

S-s-super

So there's a new Yu-Gi-Oh movie coming out (came out in Japan the other day, I believe). I heard it mentioned a few weeks ago but figured it would either be with some of the lame new characters or, at best, would be something like time travel or simply take place within a series as an excuse to see various heroes play together.

I was pleasantly surprised today, however, to learn that it is in fact a sequel to the original (manga, technically) starring the original cast 6 months later and written by the original guy. And it sounds like it actually has a plot (as opposed to just a feature-length card game), and one that actually involves some character development.

Here's Kotaku's review, and I'm legitimately eager to see it.

Trailer:

I know Mako was our resident super YuGiOh dork. But I thought this seemed cool and would share for the others that might care
