For the actual YT Page, here

4kids uploaded it to their own YT page, and they did so without subtitles (which do Exist, since there was an Uncut DVD release that got canceled)

I seem to remember hearing that the subtitles on the uncut DVDs used dub translations and not accurate ones. So yeah, they don't exist. Still, I don't mind watching it raw.

Gekko135

that's kinda funny if you ask me.

SantoryuMaster97

So 4kids fucks over fans thinking 4kids can do something good…..im not surprised, but its okay we cant read anyways so subtitles would be useless for a foreign show right?...Right?

So could this lead to uncut DVD's?
Maybe?

Edit: hold on Yugioh or that 5D's crap?

flandrian15

Yu-gi-oh sucks monkeyballs anyways, dubbed or not, it is a anime of a bloody boring totally illogical children's card game which is a total (but still very lame) ripp off of the game "Magic The gathering"… Really, I can't understand anyone being able to watch more then 1 episode of this &^%&^$%#

going back to the ancient egyptians, they used to play this card game . . . interesting plot development . . . Oh wait, NO it's not. . .

SantoryuMaster97

its time to dududududddddd Duel!

Set your country status to Global, that should fix it.

Sensing some hypocrisy here.

Captain Shmeckie

Can't the YuGiOh fans just watch fansubs or something? Or do they need their children's card games… In American?!

Green_vs_Red

@Captain:

They're aren't fansubs at least from what I've seen and the only other ones are the HK subs which pretty much speak for themselves.

How do you do that?:O

"Magic Poker Machine"? "Pish! I give you a punch!"? Yup, they speak for themselves.

But anyways, while this is dumb that uncut Yu-Gi-Oh! is airing without subs, the rep in charge of the Youtube channel for them still says that they are still "testing" the waters so they're looking for more constructive feedback.

In other words, if you guys want to see uncut Yu-Gi-Oh!, don't impersonate Buuhan1!

Green_vs_Red

I'm almost tempted to asked what Magic Poker Machine was translated from.

The one on Youtube or the one here?

Uncut Japanese Yugioh with no subs > Dub, Hay, At least this fanbase has a bit of success, in getting what the want from 4kids. applauds

Zkaiser

Wow, the opening for the first season is kinda lame. I actually prefer the English one.

All except subtitles.

Yeah, VOICE is probably the weakest of the 5 openings. Overlap & Warriors are much better, though.

They were pretty much just dubtitles.

There is a fansub doing the show but they have no translator. So I thought I might try, see how hard it is… And see if they can actually fansub episodes if there's a translation. Then I might try to tl an episode once in a while.

And I don't see how this is a "troll"...

Though I have seen they change quite a lot... Course you all know that. But I watched through the episode I was translating in the dub, and they actually simplify things by taking out parts of the conversation and just cut right to the point, simplifying it, usually repeating the same thing over and over...

Didn't work for me. Veeery strange.

Captain Shmeckie

If they really wanna troll the fanbase, they should play some of the hentai films Dan Green voiced in…

It's a troll because it's a jerkass thing to do to offer the fanbase the original japanese version they've been begging and pleading for for years – but without subtitles, so they can't read it.

There is no possible way they thought fans would be satisfied with a version with no subtitles – but they gave it out anyway. And Al Kahn wonders why 4Kids isn't turning the profit he expected it to! What a dick.

Gravy-Kun

Well, as long as the company eventually burns down in a pit of hellish fire then I'm okay with that. Let the fanboys angst about their subtitles.

That was a kick to the head.

@kewl0210:

Putting up the original version of the episodes without subtitles = Trolling

Good thing's that Rin's logic and not mine.

Dragon Warrior Steve

Now that is the ultimate dick move.

That would be a major victory over 4kids, and you know they can't have that.

I actually like VOICE to perfectly honest witch'a :ninja:

Anyway congrats on the new avatar. It sticks to the theme, yet stays fresh.

That avatar's not new.

I love VOICE too.

Neither are you're crappy posts

4kids if officially pure evil.

What's making me upset is that I like it! It's the perfect tinge of evil!

Customer: Can I have some mayo with my sandwhich?
Me: Sure!
Customer: Thanks…...hey.....why did you put mustard in the sandwhich?
Me: VICTORY IS MINE!

Better be careful or the customer might do what this guy did

Smore

It's like 4Kids always has the final laugh with all you anime fans.

ChibiGoku

Actually, I don't think they're trolling us. It seems more so they want to get the videos all up and start working on adding the subtitles later. Atleast, that's how I'm interpretating this comment on their youtube page:

Hey Yu-Gi-Oh! Fans. THX for the comments. Obviously we're testing NEW things on YouTube and elsewhere. ENJOY!

There were some huge hurdles overcome to get this done. Subtitles are an obvious & might come down the road. We felt it was more important to get these out now. Additionally, due to rights issues around the world, we have to restrict most videos to US visitors. This will broaden out a bit on a brand and country basis in the coming weeks. Sorry but that's just the reality of rights online right now - hence YouTube took down all music videos in the UK last week.

This also explains why there is region blocking going on, which really makes sense. This is unfortunately something that will take time to resolve. So in the mean time, the people who cant watch this due to region block out, guys can get around this through a proxy, which is simple enough.

Regarding subtitles can be easily added through the CC feature on the videos, so that's not an issue of them having to reupload the videos.

Seriously, guys, give (atleast) one more chance. I want this to actually work out because it may lead to the other titles 4Kids has to being release uncut online as well. Even if you don't care about the others shows, there are plenty of people out there that do and I'm certain they want this to succeed. I know I do.

…or not. it's really nothing special. just a crap quality raw of the show that sucks.

Buuhan1

HA, well done, 4kids. Well done.

Ldearing88

Cool very cool indeed

GEPPETTOSMONSTER

I don't see a big deal the Yu-gi-oh anime sucks, the manga on the other hand is pretty freaking sweet.

Muscle Milk

@GEPPETTOSMONSTER:

The Manga was cool and the Anime is great two, When compared, they both have areas where one beats the other.
There equal in my book.

Captain Shmeckie

I'd probably actually check Yu-Gi-Oh out if it didn't revolve around god damn cards. 'Cause I like the crazy designs, art style, and the anicent egypt angle.

TakinawaTonfa

Then you definitely want to check out volumes 1-7, As they DON'T solely revolve around the card game and its mostly Yugi challenging people to crazy ass games (stab a wad of cash on your hand to see how many bills you can get without going all the way through) with some even more batshit crazy results (PENALTY! You're a blind motherfucker now!)

Its not like its just a normal game of cards, Hell there's players gettin there head chopped off, burned alive, or end up being eatin by little monsters in the dark, and the monster designs are pretty badass. N e ways TakinawaTonfa pretty much covered it.

Malintex_Terek

Hilarious. I think a sense of humour is just what corporations need these days. It's always issues of RACE and RELIGION and TOLERANCE…I mean jeez, lighten up folks! Corporations are run by people too, just because they need to be professional and stern in their business doesn't mean they can't do funny stuff either.

Snowmint

So are the otaku YGO fans gonna support this or what. I want Sonic X next.

JulieYBM

Well, I've been watching the YGO stuff and will continue until we get some subs as well.

Snowmint

More eps were put up. Im still surprised there doing this.

Green_vs_Red

I'm surprised they're still putting up the other episodes with no subtitles.

Kaizoku Mele

Well, there's subs now but, they use the dub names.
Also, they're inaccurate in some spots (IE: Some of Pegasus' english isn't translated right.)
