You know I've been noticing something thanks to LittleKuriboh's cracks at the series he abridges....
4-Kids ruined Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters.
Like.....F*CKED it up....to a point where I have to question how I watched the damn show years back...
You can tell where this is going, aren't you?
Yes. REDO IT. Straight up.
I know the Japanese version is passable. and hasn't been Blue Popo-ed by 4-Kids.....so it sounds cool to watch if you're like me, and that'd be it.
BUT LISTEN, MY FELLOW ANIME FANS, LISTEN!
You watched Yu-Gi-Oh back then, right? Was it cool? Was it one of the first animes you watched? It was for me. Ah, yes, those were the good ol' days....
But NOW....now that we're wearing big boy pants (or big girl pants), I think we should get a well-deserved fanservice in the form of re birthing the first part of the series, at least for the English fanbase's sake.
Alright, this'll take awhile so bear with me. (draws breath)....
Distribution: This is more set to the English department that handles this series. Konami...THANK SWEET MERCIFUL GOD that you're gonna let a new company handle anything that has to do with Yu-Gi-Oh anime. I just ask you don't make the same mistakes 4-Kids did. You listening? Keep the anime....the way it is. The way it was made in its home of Japan, All of its plot, scenes, content, character names, properties....leave them alone. Just let the show be understandable to my ears (with Funimation) and we're set. No changing up names to Western style ones (the Jap. fanbase hates that, by the way...), no editing out crap so a 6 year wont have the desire to hit someone and "have his mind ruined by the media blah blah blah lawsuits blah blah blah frick soccer moms." (Seriously, you don't hear the Jap. fans bitchin.), and MOST IMPORTANTLY.... do not...and I mean do not....let it air on Toonzai. I don't care if they show up on your front lawn with a JET full of money....do not let them firetruck up Yugioh again. PLEASE. If anything, let Nicktoons have it. At least their edits MAKE FRICKIN SENSE. (can you tell that I hate 4-Kids?)
Story Flow: There's two parts to the "Original First Part of Yu-Gi-Oh"....there's the one we grew up with (Duel Monsters) as well as the "Zero Season" (Ironically enough, its actually the real life FIRST season. Trust me, its in the manga.) Anyways, take all that and give us a good show. Follow the story how Kazuki Takahashi wrote it, and we're in the clear. Nothing more should need to be said.
Those are really the only two things I'd like to see in a revival of Yu-Gi-Oh. Other than that, I'd think this'll be a hit on U.S. shores for those who'd like to put the 4-Kids bullshit behind them and move on.
