bland. You could tell the voice of Jaden changed his voice from the
start of the film to the end, it just didn't feel right having a grown
up voice break half way through the movie and revert back to young
Jaden voice. Aside from that, they could have had edited the cards with
English text or leave it alone but, that's 4kids for you.
One plus; Dan Green's voice basically made all other voices moot in
terms of a quality comparison. Even if the Pharaoh has the voice of a
40 year old, it at least sounded a lot better than whiny Yusei.
With the music scores, I can't believe someone would defend the garbage
from 4kids. Ever since they dubbed GX, the quality of their scores
have dropped a hundred fold. I'll give them a little bit of credit for
Duel Monsters music score because of the Orichalcos Theme but, that was
it. Japanese BGMs are great because they can speak for the scene, e.g.
if it's Rua's Signer unraveling, we have music that can conjure up the
feeling that both a new power has awakened and the hope towards
victory. Whilst the dub for GX just plays happy music when Jaden is
winning; it doesn't change to reflect the situation like Jap GX's
Impossible Victory (Haou vs. Jim) or Excited Duelists (Judai v.Yugi) .
