Thread: Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Special

By the way, the Sin Red Eyes effect posted here seems to be a fake. Someone in the Official Random Promos thread translated it and it's the same of Sin Blue Eyes, except for the summoning conditions of course.

Even if the duel took up the majority of the movie (it is a movie centered around a card game, after all...), maybe they could get around with the four doing other things during the duel. (Temporarily interrupt it?) Unless they forgot about the part of the fandom wanting other stuff and went down on the "LOOK, A SHINY AND COOL DUEL FOR ALL YOU BOYS" route. ):

Yeah, a double feature is basically 2 movies aired together. The shorter one airs before the longer one. A perfect example is the Rockman/Duel Masters double feature, which had trailers that implied it was a cross over rather than a double feature.(Well characters from both series made cameos in both movies, not to mention they made a Duel Masters card for Bass/Forte to promote both movies.)

We'll wait and see.....Still believe that the most incredible is about to come.
Like GoldenUmi said...we'll cross our fingers and hope for the best.

49 Minutes... After all this build up? It's not much longer than the average joe episode. That's a real let down IMO.
With 15-20 minutes of plot development leaves us with 30 minutes max for dueling and a speedy conclusion. Even with 30 minutes a 4 way duel will only let each character have what, 3 turns each maximum! How sad...

Not usually. Like LeArk was saying before, Toei does a ton of double features, especially with the Super Sentai & Kamen Rider movies, and both of those are usually the same length.

what?! only 49 minutes!!! WHY!!!!????

Again, the Japanese prove they have no sense of doing-the-good-movie-length-thing. Probably should have scrapped the 5D's OVA and added the budget to this. Yes, I know anime movies are often short, but Yugioh almost never has movies (unlike stuff like One Piece, which has more movies than episodes. Probably), plus this is the anime's tenth anniversary, plus this stars the heroes from 3 different series, plus it has to showcase these 12 (or whatever) new cards, plus there has to be a duel and some other duels and a motorcycle battle and a battle at the end with zomg real monsters and there better damn well be a fanservice montage of all the DM characters somewhere.

Plus opening and ending credits.

For those interested, Toei did a double feature with their Yugioh movie and the Digimon Adventure movie.

Unfortunately, no matter how many "+"s we may think of, the movie won't be longer.
PS: Still, strongly hope the producers don't talk seriously, and that's just a joke to make people on purpose worry for nothing before the grand premiere....but that's slightly possible.

Lol, thats what I call an anniversary movie. Only 49 minutes.

No matter how you're gonna twist it, this is gonna blow. Either they'll have too much plot and the duel (with all three protagonists no less) is gonna be too short. Or they'll have too much duel and the plot is like GXs plot. Nonexistent.

actually I was just thinking to myself what movie did double feature with Yugioh. do you happen to know which digimon movie the prologue or the our war game movie.

now the question is, what other anime movie is getting put side by side with this movie. anyone know what anime does air sometime near the yu-gi-oh airings.

but really I am not surprised about the time length of the movie, I mean admit it, the popularity of Yu-gi-oh is not comparable to shows like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and Bleach. 49 minutes sounds good, the story would be quick take up maybe 12-18 minutes, the rest duels with cameos of other characters watching. if they keep their speeeches on friendship and bonds that transcends time and space short then we could get in alot of turns.


edit: no matter the interactions between the characters, its a lot better then the 5th anniversary crossover movie of PreCure, which crossed over the 6 series for the anniversary. the only interaction between the girls was that Nozomi (main girl of PreCure 5 {season 4&5}) and Love Momozono (main of Fresh PreCure {season 6}) saw eachother in the park, and that was it... yeah,

great movie very intense even good action, terrible Crossover, okay not terrible crossover, just bad interaction. this was a movie of a series that isn't a double feature, it was 70 minutes (even had an opening and ending credits), it could of done better with interaction.

yeah that my thoughts

Well, if you think about it, that preview mentioned in V-Jump is supposedly 30 minutes long, which would leave 19 minutes remaining from the actual movie. I don't know, but that sounds silly. That would not be a preview but "almost having watched the entire movie". I guess that somewhat makes the said preview an actual premiere of the whole thing...

By the way, Newwise BBS and 2chan isn't happy about the movie length announcement, either.

49 minutes isn't bad. When I see my brother's movie film collection of Dragon Ball Z, the time is similar.

I prefer see a very good film of 49 minutes with plot and excellent scenes rather a long film of 1h30 with boring and unless scenes.

Maybe the time means the movie can get a link with anime ? This can explains slowly plot and proves Dark Glass came also from the future and is Paradox's son

49 minutes? Orz

Do they think kids are that ADD? Or did they blow the money on the 3D stuff and didn't have enough money in the animation budget to cover a full length movie?

Yeah, this length is concerning. Even the PoL was what, 90 min.? Hell, it was 120 min. in the Japanese version.

Considering 4Kids had a hand in that movie, I'm sure the 30 minutes of film the Japanese had was cut footage from their usual doings.

Though really, in a movie where only 3 main characters, and maybe 3 extras show up, facing off against one bad guy at the same time, there really isn't that much to do. I mean, would you rather have the gang go through some sort of labyrinth dungeon, solve puzzles and battle monsters before facing against the villain?

Though I guess you could of extended this film by another 20 minutes, but then again, I don't know what you can put into a film where all you do is duel one guy.

Plus I guess we have to take off two or three minutes for the intro and ending.

Pffff. XD But what would that make Bruno, then?

Regarding 4kids and the movie, someone asked Wayne Grayson about the movie.

I asked Wayne about the movie when he was at ErieCon. He's done major voices in DM and GX and minor ones in 5Ds, and he's friends with Dan. And he said not only had the topic not come up at 4Kids, he didn't even know there was going to *be* a movie. As soon as he heard about it he was all "I want to know more about that," so maybe he brought it up at work.

They didn't even know about the movie.

I won't be surprised if they didn't know even about the 5D's OVA.

So, 4kids don't work on the film. Good new ! At least one thing they can't destroy.

I don't believe we will have to worry about the opening, they will probable pull a pokemon, and when they show the duel between Yusei and Paradox, they will probably play the 5ds theme, or make magic or what ever

Wait, what? The Japanese version is only a few minutes longer. The most notable extra scene I can name is when Sugoroku hears Yugi solving the Puzzle.

It was Digimon Adventure, the prologue.

They also extended bits like a view of Pegasus and his Toons during the Pegasus vs Kaiba duel, or when Anzu's spirit departs into the Pyramid of Light and the group is looking at her unconscious body. Anzu telling about Anubis' plan to Yugi and his friends is also changed, she is now seen talking to Dark Yugi and Kaiba as well. There's one part when Kaiba is getting up from the ground and Mokuba is worried about him, then Pegasus puts his hand on his shoulder and smiles at him in a "It's alright, he is fine" manner.

But it's not like they couldn't add more bad guys other than Paradox, maybe like some henchmen or something ala the Dragon Ball Z movies. On the other hand, it'd take a lot to make that turn out pretty well..But if you ask me, the only DBZ movies that pulled the henchmen+evil bad guy thing really well were "Return My Gohan/Dead Zone," "The World's Strongest Guy/The World's Strongest," and "The Super Deciding Battle For The Entire Planet Earth/The Tree of Might."

Wow, the Pioneer English dubs of those movies were incredible...brings back memories

And yeah, agreed. This could feel rushed if not executed properly.

Poopy. Ah well, it could be far worse. 30 minutes would truly suck. I mean, the ending will take a two minutes off of that 49 minutes. I agree that it'll probably be around 25 minutes of set up and 25 minutes of Dueling, which wouldn't be too bad.

As mentioned above, this was done with One Piece alongside Digimon for a while. It was also done with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and xxxHolic. It doesn't seem to happen outside Japan, at least to my knowledge.

When you think about it more, 49 minutes isn't all that bad. Think about all that can happen in a 20 minute episode if all is done right. Then think that this is basically 2.5 episodes crammed into a movie, so alot can happen if they get the pacing right.

The Japanese movie is completely restructed, in both having extra scenes and in actual order of scenes as well. It's better than the 4Kids verson, at least.

Indeed, but it doesn't add up to half an hour XD.

I like the henchman idea, personally. Paradox could destroy/hold up/duel the three protagonists while he sends some henchmen to eliminate Pegasus in the past. It's another possibility for the "Orders to eliminate the creator of Duel Monsters" plot. It could also allow some more characters to appear and maybe protect Pegasus while the protags are dueling.

...Unless they would be all busy chasing after Paradox for stealing their precious signature cards. XD

Ah. Now it's clear to me now, thanks to you guys.

True that. I guess it's just that you'd expect more length for a movie like this. But in the end, it's still too early to say anything. As you said, anything can happen!

In the worst case scenario, I'll just enjoy this movie for Paradox's possibly AWSM antics B|

Can't see an American theater playing a 49 minute movie...so guess it'll be straight-to-DVD (although that's probably the more financially sound method regardless).

When do you think this will come out on DVD anyway?

As I keep saying, DVD releases tend to be 3~9 months after a movie's theatrical run, depending on various factors.

49 minutes...? Well...like the one 2chan poster, I wonder why they couldn't just go and make it 50 minutes, at least. =/

I just hope there's some decent plot setting-up going on in the first half or so before the duel starts. Or, at least, give us said decent plot setup in the first 10-20 minutes, give the duel the bulk of the time, then give us some resolution time so that Paradox could explain why he wanted to do his stuff, he vanishes, the three guys thank each other and head back to their respective times, and we could have some shots of the characters in each series. Or a mix of these two, I dunno...*fumes about how it being closer to an hour long would help*

Well, I remember a few times FUNimation ran the DBZ movies like Fusion Reborn and that's about the same time frame. Plus during that time, the movie was already in DVD but its cool to see on big screen, makes ya all giddy at the thought.

Technically not true, its rare but some anime movies not of the same genre, a good example was Digimon Savers, which is a shounen anime, PreCure Splash Star, Shoujo, was also a double feature. though since they are both action I guess they are part of the same genre, but they are aimed at two different Groups.
here is the trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1FI3yzyyWA


In america there was recently a double feature of the two Toy Story movie, as a way to promote the third Toy Story movie coming out next year.

I asked Wayne about the movie when he was at ErieCon. He's done major voices in DM and GX and minor ones in 5Ds, and he's friends with Dan. And he said not only had the topic not come up at 4Kids, he didn't even know there was going to *be* a movie.

I think that's better. I don't even want to think what 4KID'S will probably want to do if they find out more info about the movie.

Links:

MOD EDIT: Please don't post t0-rrent links on the forum. Thanks.

Also 49 minutes Movie
- 3 intro
- 5 ending credits
And only 40-41 to find Paradox (or he find them) and to make one very fast duel and to safe the World

Okay, that's pretty interesting. I didn't know Digimon had a new movie out recently either.

Well, why don't you just download and see it !!!!!
We aren't able to know what is the content of every tor*ent about the movie on the internet !!!
The official info and the trailer are already known by many people all over the world and are possibly spread to other places.
And, actually, it's quite obvious that the first link you gave contains pictures from the "chara" section of ygo10th.com. So, what do you think these to*rents could contain ??? It isn't difficult to guess !!!
---------------------
Anyway......enough off topic !!! Sitting and reading the entire thread won't kill you !!!

Well, let's see... out of those three to*rent files, looks like one is p0rno, one is a video of Yugi yelling "KAAAHN!!!" on a loop for ten minutes, and the last is a crippling virus that makes all text on my computer look like those little wingding characters and is currently buying Euro Disney stock in my name.

Of course, I jest, but my guess is just as valid as anyone can say since you just asked us about some to*rrents most of us have never seen before.

This man speaks the truth!

eeeesh, only 49 minutes. I can hardly call that a 'movie.' More like an 'extended episode.' Since each episode is what, about 20 minutes not counting opening, ending, and commercial breaks. So, this 'movie' is basically just a double episode.

modern anime seems to be trending this way--fast. In the 1970's to 90's, an anime 'movie' was often over an hour. Under an hour was considered an OVA/OAV--whichever you wish to say. Space Battleship YAMATO (late 70's/early 80's) had 5 movies...all of which were over an hour and some of which reached OVER 2 hours!

If you ask me, anime/manga in general in the 70's-90's were better than today's material.

With the movie, 4kids better not touch it or BANG they will be getting a few more hate mail coming their way until they learn to never pick up anime again. If I lived in America I would try to oust them from the dubbing industry one way or another.

But, I hope they just we get the movie in english and not have 4kids interfere with it. Maybe Viz Media could take the movie licence and dub it with their great actors. Death Note and some Naruto actors come to mind.

Sin for everyone wheeee XD

ya 4Kids will **** it up, so id much prefer Disney XD, or Cartoon Network Adult Swim do it, cuz at least they stay close to the original (even tho disney xd, did cut out deidaras arm gettin crushed T_T )

thank you EliteSlayer, your the best ive been needing a good laugh these last few days! thank you!

People in bbs.newwise still hope that the message in the Diary section was wrong and the producers actually meant that the movie will be no 49 mins but 149 mins. But if that was right, then the message should've been repaired till now, so I doubt it was just spelling mistake.
We just have to put up with the short timelasting and to believe that the movie will be amazing after all.
