4kids and their Uncut Dvds

zianchu

I have a theory this is actually going to happen sometime in the near future. Think about the facts:

1. They sold well (which is what i heard anyway).
2. Al Kahn said, "I think they're competing with the T. V version." Now I know this sounds like crap, but what if it's true? What ifSoccer moms were actually buying these, mistaking them for the T. V. version, and then sueing 4kids/making their kids stop watching it on TV. So now that Shaman King is over and Yu-Gi-Oh! is very close to being over (especially if they cut the Egypt arc) how else will they make money? People have seen it so they won't watch it on TV and they might as well make money off the uncuts. This breaks the rule of, "what if they sue us?" because 4kids will win in court (THEY SAY UNCUT ON THEM!!!) and the TV version is over. By no means am I believing Kahn's words, but just this once they do make sense.
3. Why Waste Money? They've already been made:

Doesn't 4kids love money?

So say what you want (and please do I love response) but I think they're coming if not in the near future than in….............

Never saw the Ryu cover before, I'm surprised they actually called Ryu "Ryu" on the cover. I really liked the uncut Shaman King dvd's, I remember going everywhere just to find them during the first week of their release.

I dont know why but they have vol.3,4, and 5 of the SK dvds on rightstuf.com and it says the release date is:

Dec.12, 2012

My friend told me that the subtitles aren't really that good, since she understands some Japanese. She bought an uncut Yu-Gi-Oh DVD, and told me that the subtitles didn't match the actual translation.

… 2012? Seems unlikely by any stretch of the imagination, but this IS 4Kids, so... It's actually possible.

The Dec 12, 2012 is just what rightstuf.com puts as the date for anything that has an undetermined or TBA release date. It's not actually set for that date.

I do hope they release the rest of both series uncut. The subtitles were basically dub-titles but the script for the english versions really was quite good. I just hope when if they continue the uncuts, they use the original names on all of the characters. Most of the people called Manta "Manta", but he was named as "Morty Manta" instead of Manta Oyamada. That's annoying, but tolerable. I just need the names correct for Horohoro and Hao. I couldn't put up with Trey and Zeke anymore. Everyone in the English for YuGiOh had their dub names, I prefer the original names but don't care quite as much as with Shaman King.

I remember someone saying that Jounouchi was named Joey Katsuya. Cause quite the confusion and flame war in the fanfiction world. :glare:
What is that you say? They're going to skip the Egyptian arch? But it was the only thing that wasn't a stupid filler! GAH, there goes my Yugioh watching. Kaiba Grand Prix is the worst filler ever. I wish they could skip the fillers and get to the main story instead of skipping the story and get with the fillers.

Anyways, I'm not about to buy those uncuts dvds. Yugioh and Shaman King seem better in manga in my opinion.
Morty Manta sounds catchy. I'm surprise Horohoro didn't end up "Horohoro Trey" or something.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. That'd be bad if it wasn't.

If that is the truth, then 4Kids really can't do anything right.

I know the translation is bad, Morty Manta kind of left me appalled. Quesiton for those who know of the Yugioh Uncuts, in the Japanese subtitles, do the characters have their original names like in the Shaman King ones?

Interesting. That's close to December 22, 2012, the day predicted by the Aztecs to be the Apocalypse. Massive earthquakes, I think, on that day. >.>;;

Perhaps…this date is an omen of 4Kids attitude toward further uncut DVDs?

yeah the subtitles have all there orginal names. (jonouchi ren,etc) but in yugioh they still used the dubbed names for the cards which i dont mind

Most don't know about this, but the 3rd Yu-gi-oh uncut DVD didn't have the dubtitles problem that the last 2 DVD had.

Dragon Warrior Steve

I'd love to get the Yugioh DVD's, but I'll wait until the price goes down, if it ever does.

sanji37

I hope its uncut it would make it more exciting

Matt

These dvds are uncut, thats the whole point of them.

TOPIC REVIVAL

I was right! Go check Amazon right now Yu-Gi-Oh! Uncut Vol. 4 are now shipping! Too bad I can't say the same for Shaman King.

For her birthday last year, I got a friend Yu-Gi-Oh! Uncut, because she enjoyed the show and wanted to see it unedited.

Well, it wsn't unedited. I'm sorry, but "Shimata!" doesn't translate to "Oh my!". They used the dub names. Everything was poorly read (a personal thing, but it's like the VAs were being crappy on purpose, like they couldn't act if it wasn't in short bursts). Though it had the original BGM/OP/ED (holy crap amazing!), it didn't hold a candle to FUNi DVDs like Yu Yu Hakusho uncut, which I enjoy.

I haven't seen Shaman King uncut, but from what I saw of the two Yu-Gi-Oh! DVDs, it felt very cheap, and not very "uncut".

So expect "Aargh, mateys!" and "DARN YOU, ZOLO!" in One Piece uncut… if it ever comes out...

wait wait wait.. what are u guys talkin about. thats only if u listen to it in english. i have yugioh 2 and 3 uncut and they go by the names jonouchi and anzu, in the japanese version. also ive boughten shaman king one too. but i havent watched those subtitles in a while ( tho i think they kept len insted of ren)
