Yu-Gi-Oh! Vol 2 - The Insector Combo (Uncut) [DVD]
Z**A
Nice DVD :).
Finally, I got to see the first few episode of Yugioh in their original design and language. I still prefer the dubbing they used in the U.S., but the Japanese audio was cool, too. Weevil (Haga) was a little different in this volume than in the edited version. In the U.S., they described him as like a total cheater; that was sort of half true in this version. There was going to be a 4th volume released, but they cancelled it so it wouldn't compete with the selling of the edited DVDs. Maybe if we try hard, we can convince 4Kids to release the other episodes. The wife of Dan Green gave birth to twins last year, so I'm sure he needs to look after them for a while before going back to the studio for dubbing.

Amazing DVD
Great DVD Glad to see the original story and intent of Yu-Gi-Oh with the voice actors I grew up to love. I just wish they were able to continue making all these as they would have made a great collection.

Uncut goodness!
You only get 3 episodes but there good and uncut the way yugioh was suppose to be. 3 of the only 9 episodes you will ever see of dubed uncut yugioh. This is due to Konami reviving 4k media to make edited Yugioh so they can promote there children's trading cards to kids. The problem is Censorship laws is more regulated in the US. So, 4kids/4k media/Konami has to pretty much destroy almost all aspects of the original Japanese version.

My Yu-Gi-Oh Review
I would have to say that the American Teenage population has completely misjudged the series. We all thought Yu-Gi-Oh was another version of Pokemon-stupid, pathetic, and a first class merchandise distributor. I was like them, for a time. That was, until I got my hands on the `original' series of Yu-Gi-Oh. The un-cut version is completely different from the Four Kids edited version. While the other one was designed to fit younger viewers, the un-cut version will surely inspire anyone who is beyond the age of twelve. This product is rated 13 and up for mild language, blood and gore, religious implications, death, some scary moments and human sacrifice. Of course, the version I currently own is the Anime Video "AV" series-, which has poorly manufactured subtitles and some cut-off episodes. These professional episodes are well done-however, I know very little regarding the English track. I have little faith that the English track will be any good (after seeing the actor's most recent job-the Yu-Gi-Oh Movie 2004)-but I have some hope. I am willing to give them a shot at it.It is very different from the USA Yu-Gi-Oh; a key point being that the so-called "SHADOW REALM" doesn't even EXIST in this series. In addition-- Pegasus never wanted the Millennium Puzzle/Sen-Nen Puzzle from Yuugi-- he just wanted Kaiba Corporation.It is kind of a relief, because even if the English Track is a failure, you don't have to worry about Weevil/Inspector Haga's creaky voice and Joey/Jounouchi's New York accent. On the other hand, you have Pegasus's high-pitched voice to deal with (despite how weird it sounds-- it is actually quite funny-- Coodos to Takusugi J Jirou) and trust me--it'll scare your pets away and (if you play it several times such as I did) annoy your older sister until no end. ^__^If you like Yu-Gi-Oh and every aspect of it, then by all means, purchase the DVD (and the Shadow Games along with it). Trust me-- it will be worth more than any American Yu-Gi-Oh merchandise you've got.

Uncensored, uncut, pure genius
The japanese version was much more gruesome and I'd love a chance to see how it was. The bonus here is, I don't have to lose my favorite voice actors, there will be a COMPLETE ENGLISH dub track that more closely follows the japanese script.Warning, this DVD is not for everybody, it involves the following:Blood, Death, Hideous decapitation of monsters as well as other gruesome imagery, Nudity ( some yugioh cards originally came with nude female monsters, but clothes were drawn on them for the english audiences and standards of practices.) and even fowl language.Despite that, this DVD will be very unlike the episodes you've seen on TV, every die hard fan of yugioh will enjoy this DVD, but remember it's only recommended for ages 14 and up, maybe even 18 and up ... it depends if your children are mature enough to understand what they're seeing.I'm personally going to buy every single battle city episode once they come out, but the duelist kingdom episodes just aren't my thing.

The greatest thing to happen since sliced bread...
This is the second of the two DVDs that will be out on October 19th. I have been waiting for these DVDs, refusing to get the dubbed DVDs that are out now, and it has finally paid off. The episodes on this DVD by description are the two Inscector Haga vs. Mou Hitori no Yugi duels, and the Kajuka Mai vs. Katsuya Jonouchi duel. These are episodes 4-6. They also include a edited dub-track which is similar to the original Japanese script, and, as everyone who loves anime wants, a Japanese audio track. This DVD also contains things never seen in the aired version, such as brief nudity, violence, and many other things. But also, it has the changed dialouge, which is a plus in some cases. This DVD also (hopefully) has the original opening and ending themes, Voice by cloud, and Genki no SHAWAA(Energy Shower) by Aki Maeda, both great themes for this first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.Warning: Ages 13 and up for violence, brief nudity, religious themes, and mild language.
