The Product Itself (Season 1)
Updated, as of 9/10/13. Read if you need more reasons for buying!
A note for the completists/people who want the uncut versions:
Now, if you're expecting the original Japanese footage & language track, don't hold your breath. This set contains the 4kids edited footage w/ their original dub only, about exactly the same setup as the Digimon releases, with the dubbing being done by a different company, but the end result being the same. If you want the Japanese version, go buy the uncut DVDs, or watch subbed versions online, cause unless Saban &/or Konami team up with the original cast & possibly FUNimation, there's not going to be a release of the Japanese original footage, or the Japanese voice track on home media releases here in America any time soon. Now, you guys gotta understand the awkwardness involved w/ having the Japanese audio on the edited episodes & the 4kids dub on the original versions. The episodes weren't dubbed to the full episodes, like Dragon Ball Z,...
I'm a bit confused......
So Amazon has this listed as being Japanese with English subtitles AND being dubbed in English. I saw that and got super excited, and pre-ordered immediately. However, I did some digging around on other sites and this same product is listed as being the 4kids English dub only.

I'll be so happy if I am finally able to purchase the original Japanese version of the show, but it will be a huge letdown if it is only the 4kids English version. ):
(Not that I don't like the English version, I've just been searching for the original for a very long time. )
The Best DVD Release!
Just WOW! Ok guys here's the scoop. For those of you that don't know, Yu Gi Oh was originally released by Funimation.
Both in separate volumes and in DVD box sets but they never released the WHOLE series. Most of the series was put on DVD but part of the Doma Saga wasn't. A lot of fans were disappointed in this and frustrated. Plus when Funimation released the DVD's they either had many errors on the discs or part of the footage from certain episodes were cut out. Examples are:
Opening narration for Episodes 1-7 before the opening intro started
Then there was too much added footage for the Yu Gi Oh Logo in every Episode. Having 4 times the Yu Gi Oh Logo before the commercials when there was suppose to be just 1. This was very annoying as every 5 to 10 minutes you would see the Yu Gi Oh Logo pop up and then continue on with the episode.
Not to forget that some episodes were formatted badly on the DVD's. I know two episodes part of the footage had no...
