DEATH to the Dub.... Er... I mean FINAL to the Dub!

"I'm not really reviewing this specific DVD, FYI.....

This is sad. This is really, really sad. Pointless, silly edits and for what?
Anything religious:
Changing OSIRIS to SLIFER (wth? Slifer? Where did THAT come from?!)
Editing out crosses/ other christian things (like changing the "Merciful Nun" card to "Forgiving Maiden".... yes folks--- that was once a NUN holding a cross)
(Or changing the Crosses in the Call of the Haunted card to regular tombstoney-things)
NAME CHANGES. YUCK! Some of these are STUPID!!!!!!!
Rishid became Odion? Honda becomes Tristan? (those two really bother me. I can see where the "Joey" comes out of "Jounouchi", but some changes.... 0.o;; )
Oh, let's not forget about blood-- Pegasus BLED (heaven forbid) (oops... did I say heaven?) when Shaadi stuck the Sennen (Millenium) Eye in his eye socket. He felt PAIN. By God (oops again), he SCREAMED. And Bakura actually sliced open his arm-- hence the bandage. There was originally bllod there.
And weapons. Lots of guns and knives were edited out. LOT'S of them. Do you dubbies REALLY think that Bandit Kieth was just pointing at Pegasus? Nope. He had a GUN (oh, my).
And I mustn't forget that the Sennen Rod actually has a knife inside of it. How else do you think Young Yami Malik (Marik) skinned his father alive? Oh... that wasn't in the dub either? Of couse not....
So many other things. Cleavage on females (heh. It IS a boy's show after all...) (though I happen to be female...) Some monsters (Like Fairy's gift and Water Omotics) are completely nude.
Now we mustn't forget about THE ULTIMATE edit--- how about.... a whole series? Yes, we all know about it. It is currently running in Shonen Jump magazine, and has absolutely nothing to do with Duel Monsters. Well--- one part did. Then it was over with. That part just became real popular and Series 2 was created. Series 2 (Duel MOnsters) is what was brought over from Japan.

Now I really must be going. I have other places to rant.
Oh, and an explanation of my title? Yami no Bakura's Ouija Board (Destiny Board) originally spelled out D-E-A-T-H. NOT F-I-N-A-L.

Ok, I'm not really done. I'm just really tired. For some better edit-descriptions, visit Yu-Jyo episode guide. Great site. http://www.ratandfox.net/YuGiOh/
(no I don't own it. kudos to the people who did make it, though ~_^ )"

Finally, the Finals Begin!

"I know for certain, I am not the only one who has waited for the finals to begin. And they start out with an excellent duel. I will admit, on my own part that I am a fan of the Egyptian God Cards. And in this DVD, Yugi's Slifer, the Sky Dragon is dramatically summoned to the field! (Ooops, Spoiler!) I must say the first duel of the Battle City finals is one of the best in the entire collection to this Point! (Trust me, I know. I have them all!) In this DVD, all the important characters (ie, the strongest) are present at the finals with all the God cards persent and accounted for! so you know the finals will be nail biters until the Climax has ended!"

At least it's something

"Well, my younger brother was unfortunate enough to get this, thinking it was from the original japanese series (though we recently DID get our hands on the original..), but we managed to partially enjoy it. It's better than waiting around a year to get the actual uncut version of this thing out, right? ..anyway, my brother and I were disappointed with the outcome like the D-E-A-T-H turning into F-I-N-A-L and everything, but we both agree that it's a lot better just to either download the japanese episodes or wait for them to come out as uncut DVDs. Of course, I'm not the patient type, so I sometimes buy these dub DVDs anyway.. hehe.."

Another great dvd
