This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh - Season 5 - Dawn of the Duel - Part 1 (DVD)

Finally the are going to release the season 5 dawn of the duel. Actually in this dvd you are going to find out about pharaohs past and the reason why pharaoh chose yu gi as a part of him ( this clue comes out from the next dvd, part 2 ). All the best charachters are included in this season ( all the Yamis, yu gi, bakura and marik ). Its very amusing season and i think is the best of all i have seen by now. If you didnt like the last yu gi oh season 5 dvd, well you have your chance with this one. I reccomend it for you to buy it. I also recomend you to buy the next yu gi oh dvd season5 part 2, just to coplete your entire set.

This review is from: Yu-Gi-Oh - Season 5 - Dawn of the Duel - Part 1 (DVD)

This is the beginning of the end for Yu-gi-oh. That being said, it is a grand adventure with lots of magic and- yay! less dueling. The dub is well done in some ways but is lacking in others.

The Plot:

8/10. This is based on Yu-gi-oh Manga volumes 1-5 in the Memory World saga. However, the plot is different in a few ways, mainly involving Bobasa's role and Seto's backstory. The modern Kaiba also tags along in the anime version. The plot is not as well flowing as the manga, but still well done.

The characters and voice acting:

9/10 . All character's voice acting are well done, although some are annoying. (Tea, Mana, Bobasa) The most well-portrayed character is Bakura, Ted Lewis does an very good job here, and is in character the entire time. However, it gets very mellow-dramatic when Atem says "The fate of the world depends on it" 900,000,000 times.

The Dubbing job:

4/10. I am sorry, but should people really accept the whole "Shadow Realm" excuse for death? It is silly and overused. Characters should die and they do not need to remove any hints of violence. In the movie "The Lion King", Scar and Mufasa die, yet in this TV show, people can't seem to say the word "killed". Why do they think Yanks can't cope with dark storylines?

Value:

1/10. Does this DVD need to be $100-$200? REALLY? You can watch it on Hulu for FREE!

Overall:

8/10. Let's say I'm being nice here. I am overlooking serious faults here. However, I feel unless the price goes WAYYY down, you should just watch this on Hulu.
