Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Movie ~Super Fusion! Bonds That Transcend Time~

[YaminoRPG]

Basically, having to watch material and pay for it just to understand the entire story would result in a huge fuss, if this situation is to go by.

Ah I see. I wonder though if they aired the movie on TV after its run ends (around same time 5D's ends maybe?) they could get away with it.

It would make sense, though. Konami is using this opportunity to milk the movie some more and promote Zexal. It's just how it works.

We don't know what kind of clip it is, though. It could be a simple promotional clip to somehow tying Zexal into the other series. Although if the controversy Ark mentioned once ("if you want to know the rest of the plot, watch the movie") is anything to go by, I highly doubt it would be the latter.

Perhaps that is why the English version might not have it, if Zexal is going to be out in September in the states, why would they advertise this early? Although it would be awesome if they dubbed the Zexal scenes too.

No additional footage whatsoever? Just purely Zexal? That's a bit of a waste, but who knows, maybe by then some people can rewatch it since maybe something will appear in the series during the time that maybe they'd want a refresher. Still, they could've just released a DVD for that instead but figured that people would just sub it and won't see in the cinema in the US. Plus to only promote Zexal, of course.

Preview for Zexal must be in 3D, no doubt. Gasp, its as exciting as seeing Justin Beiber in 3D, gaiz!

No additional footage, no footage taken away. The original movie is untouched.

And yeah. This would work as a refresher (Paradox and his plan would make much more sense with the additional details known from the anime), and they are trying to avoid losing sales from pirating, I suppose.

The Zexal footage will be in 2D.

Roughly 60 Minutes: (1) The Original Film: 49 Minutes (3D) + (2) Japanese Special Edition Video: 10 Minutes (2D)

Ah I see. I wonder though if they aired the movie on TV after its run ends (around same time 5D's ends maybe?) they could get away with it.

It's not known if it would air on TV in Japan, but I believe 4Kids is planning a TV airing of the English movie for later on.

Also, this is unrelated, but I'd like to start a new thread for the movie. This one is quite bloated (~3600 posts), and having a fresh thread for the Encore Run / Dub release would be nice.

Shit... that's a real damper on my night. I don't care about Zexal enough to want a 10 f***ing minute preview for it... Oh well, can't be helped.

[YaminoRPG]

I feel deeply saddened by this news, dare I say also a sence of Zetsubo.

My own theory is the team are desperate to promote the next series.

Yoshida: Zexal, THAT'S our next series?
Writers:...Yeh, we kind of ran out of ideas and thought, Pokemon still sells well.
Yoshida: Jesus, how the hell will we sell this shit to the masses. At least the characters will have cool designs.
Artist: Here you go, my best work since Aporia if I do say so myself.
Yoshida:.......we are so screwed.
Evil NAS marketing man: Wait, I have an idea, we can put a preview in the movie rerun.
Yoshida: How well that help
Evil NAS Marketing Man: Come now, a good trailer can make even the biggest pile of shit look good. Just look at the Matrix revolution.
Yoshida: Let it be done.
Takashi: I'M RICH, I'M A SELL OUT, WHO WANTS TO PLAY MAGIC?

Again, WHY must we all speak such truth and amazingness lately that we cannot rep!? >_<

新シリーズの特別映像もプラスして
"Plus special clip of the new series"

Well, that was something I didn't expect....AT ALL! Truly, ZeXal don't seem that much bad, but this additional footage should have been made as...I don't know....extended trailer or something....but its place isn't definitely in the movie's running time! That was too much already!

People like to say that angry women, and the women with money are like lunatics with machine guns. Since I'm in a "very good mood", why I am not in Japan right now?

[Ryusaki]

This confirms that the 10 minute extra footage will be of Zexal

All of my rage.

This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the many, many completely misleading comments on the issue. I'd actually have preferred an expositionary clipshow to this -- at least that would have added something to the movie.

[J_BYYX]

Funny thing is... l expected that.

[63cohen]

Funny thing is... l expected that.

I did too. It doesn't bother me, but I can see how it bothers others. You were expecting more to the movie, but whatever. Perhaps Zexal parts will actually explain the movie better.

[YaminoRPG]

Re releasing the movie with nothing truely extra is a poor incentive and I suspect many fans will not bother to go see it. The whole thing has been promoted as having something really cool and a good reason to see it again, and what do we get, Yugioh the loli series trailers.

Hugely disappointing.

I don't see how ZeXal's footage will actually explain the movie. It'll probably explain ZeXal's plot more in detail, which I don't mind (especially if this was made as an extended trailer or seperate video preview) but ZeXal isn't connected with the movie's plot at all.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....(endless)


Why NAS? Why do you treat us like that?
Seriouly people!
I was one of the people that said when this news of the new Yugioh came that the extra footage will be about that (I read it from Slifer) and then you tell me that the extra footage is apart from Zexal and then it was proven wrong and looks like Slifer was right >_<

I know its not your fault btw, b-but... this doesn't sounds good, even if I had it already in mind.

I don't think anyone would have known back then what the "footage" was about until we got the announcements about Zexal. And the representatives would be obviously silent about it, and it would have been too early to say "new series trailer" back in August. Even Takahashi said he was supposed to be very hush hush about it.

If you meant my comments on the situation, I am sorry. I wasn't aware of it either until now, and just like many others, I too expected exposition and movie expansion of some sort. I settled on "maybe it's Zexal stuff, maybe it's not" when Zexal was announced and more clues appeared.

Regarding Slifer's post on the footage being about Zexal, it only said it would premiere the new series, but I saw no mentions of the 10 minute special video, and thus I assumed it would go like "movie + 10 minute extra movie footage + Zexal trailer". I didn't understand where Nintendo World BBS got their information on the 10 minute footage being about Zexal, either.

Or, if Slifer's post did point this out, then I didn't read/understand her post right and suffered of a language fart on my part.

Re releasing the movie with nothing truely extra is a poor incentive and I suspect many fans will not bother to go see it. The whole thing has been promoted as having something really cool and a good reason to see it again, and what do we get, Yugioh the loli series trailers.

Considering we don't even know when the DVD is coming out, and right now there is no other way to experience the movie apart from "going by memory" summaries, being able to see the movie again in any form is just a good reason in itself. Not to mention that people could refresh their memories on Paradox and his intentions now that 5D's has spilled the beans.

I don't see how ZeXal's footage will actually explain the movie. It'll probably explain ZeXal's plot more in detail, which I don't mind (especially if this was made as an extended trailer or seperate video preview) but ZeXal isn't connected with the movie's plot at all.

It says "Special Edition Video", so I would guess it would be a standalone thing.

I am sorry. Like I told above to Ryusaki, I wasn't certain about Slifer's post because she didn't mention the special video anywhere, leading me to think it would be "movie + movie footage + Zexal presentation".

[Lia]

By "seperate video preview" I meant that it should have been presented separately - on TV for example - not attached to the movie. It's a standalone thing by itself, since the content isn't conected with the movie. But anyway....

[Arynis]

Oh, okay then.

Well, they are milking the fans. What can we do?

I started a new thread to anticipate the English release and the eventual DVD releases. Right here: http://www.janime.eu/threads/53204-Y...ds-Beyond-Time

May I request a lock for this thread, then?

Well, since the thread already passed the 3000 post limit...long ago xD....may be it's about time.

There wasn't a special video it was just a superstition or so I thinked. Also You don't have to be sorry, I said it in my post, that was a wild guess and who could have thought that the special feature would be Zexal?
I was with that theory because for me it looked plausible and bad for us fans of the 3 previous series more than the one just announced. (also, now that I remember, at that time we didn't know it was Zexal, just a new series)
