The DVD Review Thread
 

Okay, here's an idea. Just sift through your DVD collection (or VHS dosen't matter), and find something you like, then write a rewiew for it.

Yu-Gi-Oh Volume 1 UNCUT EDITION

Presentation: 5.0
The menu sucks and looks just like any of the other crappy edited versions. I was expecting more from the disc seeing how longly anticipated this thing is by fans, but oh well. It's the content that counts.

Audio: 9.5
Oh hell yes, the Japanese audio is finally here, remastered, including the original music. Having been one of the lonely fans who was actually enough of an idiot to sit through 2 whole seasons of that bastardized Kids WB dub, it is just shocking to finally here the real script, but there's more. The original opening and ending music was included, and they're translated accordingly. On top of all this, they've created a new dub using the US dub actors. They finally get to prove that they're actually good actors, and the poor quality on TV is because of the directors at 4Kids having them "kiddize it". None of the fa*king "Believe in Yourself" crap. Just cursing, screaming monster attacks, and death threats. Dub is the same as the sub track, word for word. All curse words have been left in. All acting is good on both audio tracks.

Video Quality: 8.9
It's a little bit grainy, but nothing to complain about. The show is a little old by now. All of the Japanese commercial bumpers were left in, and there have been absoultely NO edits whatsoever. The layout of the video and chapter placement is the same as the Japanese DVD's.

Overall Score: 8.5
I was extremely pleased with this sucker. It's so damn good to finally get to see the real, uncut, unbastardized Yu-Gi-Oh. It's a whole different experience from watching the HORRIBLE Kids WB dub, and actually makes you appriciate good English voice acting. Very good for 4Kids's first attempt at an uncut DVD. I look forward to future releases. Now, if TMNT can move to Cartoon Network, I can officially stop getting up on Saturday Mornings.
