Yu Gi Oh Season 4 Series And Rooster

You wont find any of the music videos, commercials, trailers, or even monster and character profiles that were present in FUNimations original single volume DVDs.

Yu Gi Oh Season 4 Series And Rooster

Yu-Gi-Oh The Official First Season comes to us from Cinedigms Flatiron Film Company label, which also distributes the Digimon series and Rooster Teeths Red vs.

Blue. The Region 1 DVDs contain the English-dubbed broadcast versions of episodes 1 through 49 on two 3-disc DVD volumes and retail for 44.95.

Each volume is also available for sale separately without the box, retailing for 24.95 each.

FUNimations 2004 Yu-Gi-Oh The Complete First Season set was a rock star item when it came out, and its particularly memorable because of its cool packaging.

It included an elegant metal collectors case, a slipcover, and a 14-panel fold-out Digipak-style case with large, bright illustrations of various monsters.

Each of its two volumes uses a black Amaray clamshell case with a two-sided swing tray.

The artwork used for the box and cover art includes a fun design element that hasnt been seen on previously released Yu-Gi-Oh DVDs or manga.

When the spines of the DVD cases of all five seasons are lined up, they will form a larger image of Yugi wearing his Duel Disk.

The spines of the DVD boxes of all five seasons will form a picture of Exodia.

All of the images appearing on their packaging and the DVD menus have been used numerous times on various other Yu-Gi-Oh merchandise.

How many times have we seen those images of Yugi, Kaiba, Pegasus, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Weve seen them before and well certainly see them again elsewhere.

The use of portfolios or style guides is customary in the licensing industry and allows licensors to control how their brands appear.

And, as further explained by a 4K Media rep on Facebook, each season of the show actually has its own dedicated stash of artwork.

All product licensees with whom 4K Media does business must use only the images in the portfolio on their merchandise.

Look at WizKidsNECAs Yu-Gi-Oh Game Wallet Kickstarter campaign and the various products that are up for grabs, for example.

Those items all use stock artwork from the portfolio, not original designs.

It would be wonderful if some of those made their way over here.

Then again, it wouldnt be entirely unexpected if the licensors wanted to keep those designs all to themselves as Japan exclusives.

When compared to other R1 anime DVDs, Cinedigms release skews a bit high on the episode-per-disc scale.

Most R1 anime distributors typically shoot for no more than six to seven episodes per disc.

And while that FUNimation release didnt include any of the opening narratives to the story (Long ago, when the pyramids were still young) and episode recaps as a means of conserving space, Cinedigms release isnt subjected to these cuts.

For further comparison, the Japanese Region 2 release from King Records is also included.

One particularly notable exception, however, can be spotted in episodes 47 and 48 of the Dungeon Dice Monsters storyline.

Cinedigms release includes the episodes where the DDM game dice appear in their original, unedited forms, which were only shown during the episodes first broadcasts and havent been seen since.

All of the other releases (rebroadcasts, home videos, and streams) feature the episodes in which the dice appear in their edited forms.

Curiously, for episode 49, the final part of the DDM storyline, Cinedigms release goes back to using the version with the edited dice.
