Scale: Indigo doesn’t own Yu-Gi-Oh, but if you want to sue her anyway, I won’t object! Not that you’d get anything! Heh heh…
Oh by the way, Yami Bakura is the overwhelming favorite. One person voted for Yami Malik, and one person likes Yami Yuugi the best, but from what I saw, Yami Bakura is the most popular. Which, of course, is as it should be. ^_^ And almost everyone likes Ra best of the three god cards. Though we all seem to agree that Obelisk‘s not all that great.
Lori Kimaya: Dinosaur Ryuzaki is Rex’s Japanese name.
They WOULD be able to show a less-mangled version of Yu-Gi-Oh if they’d show it later at night. But no one but Cartoon Network seems to believe that older people could like anime… Inu Yasha is VERY good. Either my favorite or my second favorite anime.
Oh no, Shadi just controls Tea in the first season. But later on, Malik will control Joey.
Blah, my brother’s like that too. Always poking through my stuff, trying to get me in trouble…
I got my DVDs on ebay, but you can get them at animeniacs.com for $30 per season (they don’t have the very first one).
I’m sorry, when I was little, my mom didn’t like me watching cartoons. I watched them anyway of course, but I couldn’t see a whole lot. I think the only (and first) anime I saw was Dragonball, way back when it was on regular TV at about 5 am on Sunday mornings.
Yami Seraphim: You thought Malik’s control made people… cute? That’s rather warped (no offense, of course). Hmm…
The best reason I can think of for cutting Yugi’s mom out is that she was worried about him talking to himself so much. We can’t have insane main characters, can we?
Well, they know that a big part of Yu-Gi-Oh’s audience is little kids, so they can’t alienate them or anger their parents. Because Americans are stupid and think cartoons are for little kids.
Erm… Actually, the review system for this IS a guest book. A chat room would be fun, and I had one on my first website, but I don’t really want one anymore.
Kurai chan: I thought Shadi was cool anyway, if a bit… Scottish… But oh well. I think they pronounce his name about the same way in Japan, but we’ll see. Terrence would have been unforgivable! “Marik“ is bad enough.
KawaiiBlackMoon: Ooh, I can’t wait to get my DVDs and see it all! I’m getting the movie too, so I look forward to seeing green-haired Kaiba.
How do you find so many anime freaks? I know there are quite a few in the city where I live, but they all seem to hide form me. Or I hide form them. ^_^
Nano*Mecka: Hmm… *thinks about that for a minute* Yeah, I guess Tristan sounds a little like DB Yamcha. But not a whole lot.
Yeah, I’m sure Ryou’s sister’s name starts with an A. I don’t think it’s Akane, though.
I saw a picture of Yugi’s mother too! I wonder why they cut that part out of the dub? Probably because she was worrying about her son talking to himself, and we can’t have semi-crazy main characters, now can we? ^_^
Shenya: Well, I remember first hearing about Pokemon in seventh grade, so that would be about… 1995/96? I think it came here soon after. So you may have a while to wait for it.
Yami Nikki: Oh I talk to my characters or real anime characters in my head all the time! Especially Ankh and Scale, though Scale rarely shuts up. ^_^
Well, if I’d seen Esper Roba’s lollypop brother without the lollypop, I probably would have though he was either losing his teeth (could he be that young?) or got them punched out!
Oh, you mean that mad Team Rocket scientist who was bringing out Pokemons’ anger? Yeah, I think he did sound a bit like Weevil. I wouldn’t be surprised, the two shows share a lot of voice actors!
Ra’s cute! I want to see more of it. I’ve only seen a few pictures so far. ^_^
Seena: Ah. Well actually you ARE my source of all Bakura and Mariku information, but from what I saw of the manga scans, it looked like you were kind of right. I don’t remember Yami Bakura going to Anubis though. Maybe Bobasa just told him he couldn’t come into Yami’s soul room, but he was already there so it didn’t matter.
Actually I was talking about the dragons with two mouths on one head… Like Saint Dragon, God of Osiris. I’ve seen two-headed dragons elsewhere, but I’ve never seen double-mouthed dragons before! I wonder, do both mouths connect to the same digestive system or do they have maybe one for food and one for fire breathing?
They get people to voice-act in the weirdest accents… For most dubbed anime I’ve seen! It’s terrible! Joey’s not from New York, Shadi’s not Scottish, and the less-active duelists just don’t sound like that!
Well I knew what YOUR answer about the yamis would be, but I wanted to see what other people thought too! ^_^
Oh if they take the series that far, and they can find new ways to mangle it to suit their dark needs, I’m sure we’ll get season 4. Even if it’s not that popular anymore. After all, we’re still getting new Pokemon, and that’s pretty much dead by now.
Oh be assured, this week’s and other future episodes SHALL be butchered, perhaps even beyond recognition!
Yeah, I don’t know a lot about Shizuka yet, but I like what I’ve seen so far.
Again, when I call someone cute like that, it’s not in any sort of romantic way.
Avalon: You’re on a sugar high a lot, aren’t you? ^_^ I get high on life sometimes, but sugar don’t affect me that much.
I guess since Esper Roba’s known his brothers all their lives, he could tell them apart. At least their heights are a little different!
I doubt Mokuba would like Funny Bunny much after being kept in Pegasus’s castle! I’m sure Pegasus would have shared his comics if Mokuba had asked, though. Or maybe just refused and laughed at him. ^_^
Crossover Authoress: Well Malik himself isn’t exactly evil. Psychotic and a bit deranged, perhaps, but not evil. And I think everyone with a Millennium Item starts to look a bit evil when they’re using it/it’s using them. Well, maybe not Shadi, but he looked a little more evil in season 1.
I can see Rex keeping digging tools in his bag!
Ah, that’s too bad! You’ll see them eventually, of course. At least you’ll get to see the first new episode! And I’ll get our new episodes will stop for the American season-break pretty soon. And yours will go on a little longer to catch up.
I agree, Otogi would make a MUCH better duelist than a lot of the others around! He shouldn’t be reduced to a mere cheerleader. At least Bakura will step out of Ryou’s cheerleader role to be a duelist more in Battle City. He‘s going to be in league with Malik for a while, but I‘m not exactly sure when he comes in. Not for a while, I‘m sure.
Maybe the Egyptian Yami’s hair is spikier and less smooth because he didn’t have access to good hair gel back then…
JaguarKitty2006: Actually they don’t come out and say it, but in that manga translation site I gave out last week there’s a picture that implies that Grandpa is Simon’s reincarnation. He’s hanging on to something, about to fall, and the Pharaoh’s ghost appears and says “I’ve been waiting for you, Simon” and helps him up.
Yeah, I think getting so upset over one loss would lose Esper Roba more respect than admitting defeat calmly.
Nyartal: That’s true, I’m sure with the new Battle City rules everybody had to rebuild their decks. I’ve been building my own dueling deck, and it’s so tempting to just pack it with strong monsters! But that wouldn’t work with the real rules!
I knew about Yami Malik’s scary face-stretching, but what’s this about his disturbing tongue…?
Hmm, I guess I see a little similarity between Pandora’s Dark Magician and Malik, but not much. Their eyes and facial structures are just different. And you can be sure it will be HORRIBLY mangled!
Fyre Finity Nation: I agree, that whole “King of Games” thing is getting old by now. Get over yourself, Yami Yugi!
Schala85: Yeah, I’m sure Pandora will be called Arkana. Baka dubbers! At least it’s not horribly wrong like say… TERRENCE!
I agree, Yami Bakura’s being portrayed quite badly (Though “Millennium Of Darkness” is Seena’s, not mine!).
Yep, you’re right about the Dark Magician Girl (I read the spoiler pages occasionally)! We’ll see how the rest of the duel is mangled, though.
Oh what a wretched time to have to take the ACTs! I hope you can tape the new episodes (I’m not even sure what times they’ll be on). I’ll try to give a fairly clear picture of what happens. If I can. If not, you can find an episode summary on the websites that have episode guides for the Japanese series.
Ayrrie: Really, is Yami’s encouragement of Jonouchi that… loving, for lack of a better word? I knew about the time Yugi told Jou he loved him, but I hadn’t realized there was more.
Eep, sorry! I don’t know most of the cards’ Japanese names!
I thought that “Esper Ass” thing was a little hard to believe, so I looked up “Roba” in my Japanese dictionary… And it means donkey! So I stand corrected!
- Everybody’s eyes looked wrong in the Yugi vs. Kaiba duel on Pegasus’s Castle.
- Which of Seto’s duel disks do you think is best?
- If Yuugi will “never lose to the likes of Kaiba,” what kind of person will he allow himself to lose to, then?
- Ooh, it looks like Rishid’s eyes are golden.
- Heh, Mokuba likes his job.
- I didn’t realize Seto wanted to duel such common losers, even to teach them a lesson and play with his god card.
- Arkana’s real name was Pandora. How sad.
- Hmm, look, a random tent in the middle of the city.
- Ooh, Pandora had a real Mystic Box.
- Wow, I like Pandora’s Dark Magician card. I don’t know about its hologram, though…
- I don’t think much of Pandora/Arkana’s tie.
- Eee, did Yami summon his Dark Magician to stand behind him when Pandora greeted him?
- Ha! They turned the saw blades that were supposed to cut off their legs into “dark energy disks”! Stupid dubbers.
- How would an ordinary person (like Pandora) have the power to send peoples’ minds to the Shadow Realm? Sorry, that’s just ridiculous.
- Pandora’s voice is annoying me. So is his name, for that matter.
- Ooh, Pandora had a Magician of Black Chaos in his first hand.
- Eee, there hasn’t been any Dark Magician-action for a long time. Today made up for that!
- Pandora has weird pants. They’re pointy at the hips.
- Hee hee, Pandora used a Mystic Tomato. ^_^ Looks more like a jack-o-lantern.
- Pandora’s Dark Magician looks like Malik, but only when his eyes are closed.
- There’s nothing mystical about that “Mystical Guillotine.”
- Eep, cutting off the Dark Magician’s head? Wouldn’t that be a little violent for our little American viewers? He may be a card, but he looks like a human and he can feel pain too. But it didn’t happen, so that’s okay.
- Why did they call “De-Spell” “Curse Breaker”? I see no reason to change it.
- Poor Pandora. But they never showed us his face. I wonder how bad it was.
- How does Yami know that Malik cares about no one? He cares about Rishid. And Isis, I would think. Maybe Bakura to some extent (I don’t know about that one, though).
- Hee hee, they turned the cross into a big metal diamond! How ridiculous. Wow, that makes me laugh. ^_^
- Ooh, they’re finally showing the Dungeon Dice Monsters episodes again this week. I’ll have to tape them so I can finally see the first part.
- Again, Mokuba called Seto “Kaiba.” Stupid dubbers.
- That “Doll of Demise” Pandora had was creepy!
- Aw… Poor red Dark Magician! He doesn’t want to be abandoned! Rrg, Pandora’s so mean… His Magicians should abandon HIM!
- First Pandora says they’re just cards, then he brags about controlling his Dark Magician with fear. Make up your mind!
- Okay, I have a lot more sympathy for the red Dark Magician now. Poor magician…
- Pandora reminds me a little of Pegasus, but Pegasus actually cared about his cards.
- Oh for Ra’s sake, it’s a SAW! Just give up and call it one!
- Ooh, Shadow Balance is a pretty cool card.
- Yami’s bangs look especially thick today.
- Pandora’s magic show puns get old after a while.
- Why did the Dark Curtain-thing take so long to work for Yuugi? Just to be dramatic, I’m sure.
- Oh this shall spawn a great many Dark Magician fanfics, mostly romance and angst, I would think.
- I definitely changed my mind about Pandora’s Dark Magician. He rules infinitely.
- Yami wasn’t going to save Pandora from getting his legs chopped off! Good thing Yuugi took over.
- Do you think that super-deep, dark voice that doubles with Malik’s victim’s voice when he takes them over is Yami Malik’s voice?
- Ah yes, Millennium Items must be won, not taken. As I suspected.
- Now I haven’t heard Malik’s real explanation for his actions yet, but I get the feeling something was left out. Oh, don’t I trust the dubbers? Nope, not a bit.
- “The quiet one”! That sounds like Rishid. Yay!
- Hey, shouldn’t Yuugi get one of Pandora’s Dark Magician cards for winning?
- Wait, what did Malik call Rishid? *watches it again with captions* Odion! Why!?
- Hmm, maybe “the quiet one” isn’t Rishid. Who else could it be?
- Ooh, they showed the carvings/tattoos on Malik’s back! I wasn’t sure if they would!
- No, Rishid’s not “the quiet one.” Hmm, looking at future episodes though, it looks like he might be. I’m confused now. Well, when my DVDs come I’ll find out.
- When Malik was laughing at the end, it was obvious that he wasn’t really laughing.
- Oh I do believe those were the most blatantly mangled, edited episodes I may have ever seen in my life.
Endnote: Don‘t forget, wherever you want a paragraph break, with a clear line in between, type this < P> but without the space. Or if you just want to start typing on the next line without a line in between, type < BR> but again without the space. That would make things infinitely easier on me, thank you. And I really want to hear what you have to say about stuff! Please don‘t assume that I don‘t because it‘s boring, because I usually want to see what you have to say anyway.
