Yu-Gi-Oh: The Complete First Season

Updated, as of 9/10/13. Read if you need more reasons for buying! A note for the completists/people who want the uncut versions: Now, if you're expecting the original Japanese footage & language track, don't hold your breath. This set contains the 4kids edited footage w/ their original dub only, about exactly the same setup as the Digimon releases, with the dubbing being done by a different company, but the end result being the same. If you want the Japanese version, go buy the uncut DVDs, or watch subbed versions online, cause unless Saban &/or Konami team up with the original cast & possibly FUNimation, there's not going to be a release of the Japanese original footage, or the Japanese voice track on home media releases here in America any time soon. Now, you guys gotta understand the awkwardness involved w/ having the Japanese audio on the edited episodes & the 4kids dub on the original versions. The episodes weren't dubbed to the full episodes, like Dragon Ball Z, they were set like they were specifically, so there's certain scenes undubbed that were edited out for the English dub & the Japanese audio would have to be cut according to the footage at hand, so they'd be awkwardly set to each other, if they made that decision to have both on the discs, the dub & uncut/unedited footage, they'd need the cast to come back to dub those parts, which would be more effectively done in a new, better uncut dub, like 4kids started releasing several years ago, but cancelled because of copyright reasons, so pick your battles with getting these types of sets, cause you're not gonna win all of them with these releases. Note done. Now, if you're like me & you grew up on this dub & don't have much of a problem with it, you won't be disappointed with these season sets. They have the full seasons on the discs & the original English dub too, since New Video Group partnered up with Saban & Konami to release the original dubs & edited versions of Digimon & Classic Yugioh on DVD. Until Amazon gets pictures of the product, trust me when I say that I've seen product pictures online & you won't be disappointed with the packaging & stuff, as it's worthy of a release like this. Now, hopefully if every fan of this series buys all the seasons & they all sell well, they might release GX & 5Ds too & hopefully finish the dubbing started by 4kids with the original casts of both of those series & release the Bonds Beyond Time movie here in America. So please, just enjoy this for what it is & stop complaining for once in your lives as anime fans. Can't wait for it's release, especially since its price is very reasonable. Hey, at least they're not as much as the Digimon series releases. I can't wait for this release, personally & I emplore you people to think the same. Update 7/29: Since the downfall of 4kids, Konami has bought the full rights to the series' of Yugioh & Saban has bought the broadcast rights to the franchise, as to explain why it's airing on Nicktoons, as Saban teamed up with them to air Power Rangers in 2010, so I guess it only seemed logical to let them air the shows. Update 9/10, the packaging: The packaging is great & the design is awesome! I feel the disc cases are a callback to the Funimation/4kids dvd cases, seeing as it's basically the same type of cases, but the cases come with 3 disc holders. Now on the packaging as a whole, it has an outer box with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on it, as you may have seen. What you might not know, is that both sides have 2 different pictures on either side. On the left hand side of the front, it has a picture, along with the rest of the sets, will make Exodia, while the picture on the sides of the cases, will make a picture of Yami/The Pharaoh/Dark Yugi, for whoever prefers whatever, holding his duel disk from seasons 2 'til the end of the series, not to mention the end of GX, Bonds Beyond Time, & the movie. Now, I'd prefer buying this one over the volume releases, since it has these few extra things & a cool box case on the outside. On the back of the box, it says "It's time to duel" & other stuff that describes the series. Now, it might be just the 4kids dub, but it's still the show in a great format & presentation. Now, I've read an article that said that Cinedigm & 4K Media struck a deal to release the rest of the Yugioh series', which could mean that they'll dub the rest of GX & 5Ds, or at least it's implied they will, since 4Kids didn't finish the dubs for those shows, they'll hopefully finish them, since they have the resources to do such a thing, since they are dubbing Zexal, it's just a matter of getting the casts back, writing the episodes, & license the episodes for dubbing & release everywhere outside of Asia. Link: [...] I have a feeling they'll do that anyways, since GX, is probably gonna air on Nicktoons & the DVD will coincide with the airings of the episodes. Now, overall, I give it a 8.5-9/10, for having all the episodes from the 1st arc, until the end of the mini "Dungeon Dice Monsters" arc. Plus, only having the 4kids English dub sets it back a little, & not do an entirely new uncut dub & finish what 4kids & Funimation started in 2004-2005, as I've stated above, but I'm not complaining too much. This is the dub I grew Up on & I'm happy to own it on DVD. Plus such great packaging for a beloved childhood memory & a highly sought after series that's DVDs ran out of print years ago. The cheapest DVDs, are the single & those can run you $100, more or less Plus the 1st 3 season DVDs, can run you 100s of dollars, plus seasons 4 & 5 were never released in season format, so this is your best option for owning this series outside of Asia. Can't wait for seasons 2-5 to be released, as well as GX & 5Ds on DVD, don't care for Zexal at all, & the Bonds Beyond Time movie in America, since it was only released in the U.K. for the English Dub. Maybe I'm shooting too high for now, but I'm pretty sure that they'll eventually be released here in America. Plus being a fan of Yugioh Abridged on YouTube, it's fun to see where all of the jokes towards the 4Kids dub in the series in the beginning & every so often afterwards & truly appreciate it all a bit more. In summation; great release of this show on DVD, especially coming from someone who owns the vol 1 DVD single & knowing Funimation's DVD releases from back in the day. Cinedigm/New Video Group, is fastly becoming the new Shout! Factory. Now, if you weren't around, or old enough to keep track of Yugioh DVD releases back in the day & have a certain affinity for the series, as I & many other old fans, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. As with new fans, who wanna see where the franchise began, you won't wanna miss where it began & see why people like this show. Greatest release of the show on DVD & yes, I'm considering all the factors here, & probably always will be. THIS is how you release a beloved show on to DVD, Funimation! If you get what I'm talking about, thanks. BUY THESE RELEASES & SUPPORT THEM. THEY ARE BOSS & I HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT! Thanks. Thanks for reading this, if you did & I hope you've made your decision. P.S. Amazon gets a lot of details wrong before a product's released, just check back here a little bit after the set's released & you'll see what I mean.

A great re-release for those who want to re-live their childhoods and are feeling nostalgic. The old season box sets have been out of print for years now and are selling for outrageous prices lately. Well, now you can finally own the exact same amount of episodes per season in an all new release! All of Duelist Kingdom in one set, including Dungeon Dice Monsters. The packaging itself isn't exactly anything to write home about. It comes with 2 DVD cases with 3 discs per case - six discs in total. You can purchase the volumes individually as well, but why wouldn't you want to? You can get both of them in this set for practically the same price as you would be paying for them individually. Plus, you'll get a cardboard box to hold the volumes that they come with. Once all five seasons are placed together on a shelf, you will get a nice image of Exodia on the spine. Or an image of Yami Yugi with his duel disk on the other side of it. The packaging does what it has to do, however if you're looking for anything besides the cases, discs and the cardboard box to hold them together.. you will be disappointed. This release contains ONLY the edited 4Kids English dub from the early 2000's. These episodes are not uncut, are not in Japanese/dual audio, and do not contain translated subtitles. English captions may be another story though, I haven't checked for any. The dub for the main characters is pretty fitting, no complaints. Especially considering I grew up with this dub and this kind of a release to begin with, as I'm sure most nostalgic fans buying this set did. These discs contain no extras what-so-ever. No music videos, no trailers, no promos, etc. Totally and completely bare-bones. If you need to be explained to on what the series is about, I'd suggest heading over to Wikipedia. I don't see any need to explain what the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise is about at this point in the series lifetime. Overall, if you're a nostalgic fan looking to re-live your childhood and the good old days of Kids WB from the early 2000's, then this set is 100% for you. Don't go in expecting anything more than what you saw as a kid, I'll tell you that right now. Good price - Decent packaging - Entire season set. 5/5 stars in my book. - I'm just glad to be able to add another piece of my childhood to my collection.

Actually, I would like to give 4.5 stars but there wasn't 4.5 stars to rate and this product worth more than 4 stars so I gave 5. I lived in Thailand and purchased the Season 5 bfor I purchased other seasons. The transportation of the products is always very fast everytime. And the quality of the DVDs is also very good in English dub too. I really love the products and will buy YuGiOh GX and 5D's in the future for sure. The only problem that I'd rather give 4.5 stars more than 5 stars is there was no anti-break cushin in the parcel box. And some area of the rim of my DVD box was crushed(just small lesions, not severe at all) and that made the customer really feel sad. Beside that, everything is really very good.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 1 tells the tale of a young boy named Yugi, who goes on a journey to save his Grandfather, along with his 3 best friends: Joey, Tristan, and Tea. Over the course of his journey, Yugi begins his rivalry with the World Champion Seto Kaiba, Makes several new friends and enemies, and learns the the secrets of the Ancient Millennium Puzzle that he wears around his neck. I had a fantastic time watching Yu-Gi-Oh Season 1 again, i am a long-time fan of the series and look forward to buying the last 2 seasons of this Epic series. "It's Time To Duel...Again".

what a series this was Yugioh rocks the cards the monsters the spells the traps and the Egyptian story line marvelouse my favourie episode has to be that five parter where Yugi takes on Maxamillian Pegasus for the grand title King Of Games.If no one has seen Yugioh yet then watch it This has to be the best show to come from Tokyo since the original Pokemon back in the 90s. Bleieve me once you watch one episode you'll be hooked. Now I know that there are better Yugioh series out there now like Yugioh GX Yugioh 5D's and the latest one Yugioh Zexal. But this is where it all began, and can I let you in on a little secret if this show was never thought of then GX 5D's and Zexal wouldn't exist just something to keep in mind when you watch this awesome show. I must warn you that if you do not have a multiregional DVD player or a Actin Replay cheat disc for youre play station 2 then this complete first season of Yugioh will not work as this DVD box set That I've just ordered is from the United States so make sure that you have either one of the two items that I've mentioned above and enjoy Oh one more thing "IT'S TIME TO DUEL!!!!

I remember watching some of the original series and love it since
