Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic: Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Meet Yugi and his best buds Joey, Tristan and T’a. They share a love for the newest game that’s sweeping the nation: Duel Monsters!.Legend has it five thousand years ago, ancient Egyptian Pharaohs used to play a magical game very similar to Duel Monsters. This ancient game involved magical ceremonies, which were used to foresee the future and ultimately decide one’s destiny. They called it the Shadow Games. Since the game used so many magical spells and ferocious creatures, it wasn’t long before the game got out of hand and threatened to destroy the world. Fortunately, a brave Pharaoh stepped in and averted this cataclysm..Now, in present times, the game has been revived in the form of playing cards..Meanwhile, Yugi’s grandfather gives him an old Egyptian puzzle that no one can solve, but when Yugi finally pieces the puzzle together, his life is forever changed..
A great re-release for those who want to re-live their childhoods and are feeling nostalgic. The old season box sets have been out of print for years now and are selling for outrageous prices lately. Well, now you can finally own the exact same amount of episodes per season in an all new release! All of Duelist Kingdom in one set, including Dungeon Dice Monsters.
The packaging itself isn’t exactly anything to write home about. It comes with 2 DVD cases with 3 discs per case – six discs in total. You can purchase the volumes individually as well, but why wouldn’t you want to? You can get both of them in this set for practically the same price as you would be paying for them individually. Plus, you’ll get a cardboard box to hold the volumes that they come with. Once all five seasons are placed together on a shelf, you will get a nice image of Exodia on the spine. Or an image of Yami Yugi with his duel disk on the other side of it.
The packaging does what it has to do, however if you’re looking for anything besides the cases, discs and the cardboard box to hold them together.. you will be disappointed.
This release contains ONLY the edited 4Kids English dub from the early 2000’s. These episodes are not uncut, are not in Japanese/dual audio, and do not contain translated subtitles. English captions may be another story though, I haven’t checked for any.
The dub for the main characters is pretty fitting, no complaints. Especially considering I grew up with this dub and this kind of a release to begin with, as I’m sure most nostalgic fans buying this set did.
These discs contain no extras what-so-ever. No music videos, no trailers, no promos, etc. Totally and completely bare-bones.
If you need to be explained to on what the series is about, I’d suggest heading over to Wikipedia. I don’t see any need to explain what the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise is about at this point in the series lifetime.
Overall, if you’re a nostalgic fan looking to re-live your childhood and the good old days of Kids WB from the early 2000’s, then this set is 100% for you. Don’t go in expecting anything more than what you saw as a kid, I’ll tell you that right now.
Good price – Decent packaging – Entire season set. 5/5 stars in my book. – I’m just glad to be able to add another piece of my childhood to my collection.

Yugioh has been my favorite game for almost 12 long years, I am 28 years old and I am still playing this game. This anime is one of my favorites. Since this is not the Japanese version, but the edited version. This beautiful cover had my favorite monster, the mighty and powerful Blue Eyes White Dragon. I do not mind this is the edited version, but I already got the Japanese DVD version of this show, seasons 1-5 from eBay, but the subtitles are a bit messed up, but I do not mind it. The edit and the Japanese versions of this show are different, for example: on the Japanese version ending of episode 32, Bandit Keith threats Pegasus with a gun and demands the prize money or he will shoot him, but on the edited version, he does not have a gun, but he will pound Pegasus if he does not gave the prize money to him before the count of 3. As a fellow fan of Yugioh for almost 12 years, I want you to buy either of the DVDs of this version or the Japanese versions, continue playing this game, read the manga, collect the cards, and one more thing: IT IS YOUR MOVE.
