For anyone who’s reblogged my masterpost of 4Kids’ DM uncut-dubbed episodes, I just updated the links in it (because no one told me they were down until recently :P), so you may want to give the original post a new look!

Hey, guys!

So, I made a post a while back about how, since I’d been going through an unemployment stint, I’d been meaning to look into translation commissions and funding donations to help with costs I have at home.  I’m making a new one because I’ve been going through another bout for the last two months, and both the unemployment benefits I’d been receiving since I lost my job last October 2015 ran out, and I’ve also already run through the last paychecks I’d saved from my last temp job.  My bank account is actually at $1.50 right now (;_;), and in the next three days, I have my $47 phone bill, another bill or two, and some subway travel costs–with some groceries ideally–as I try to land interviews (I already have one lined up for Monday), and I’m super worried about my account being overdrawn.  Luckily, my loans are on a forbearance because of being unemployed for now.  I’ve asked a few people in my family for help over the last few weeks for other expenses and owe them about $100 that I’ll pay back as soon as I get a new job, but they won’t be able to help me that much.

So, I wanted to ask, if I’ve helped you enjoy GX through my translations all these years, see what the differences are between Japanese and English 5D’s (still ongoing as I restore my comparisons), you enjoy my song translations, other things I’ve done, or just seeing me on your dash, if anyone has any money at all you can offer through PayPal? It’d be a great help; if not, even a signal boost would be great! Like I said, I’m open to some translation commissions too, be it songs or some manga scans/interviews/etc? I’m also open to trying to mix for you if you have any audio projects you’re working on, like fandubs or the like (I’m currently working on rescoring DBZKai’s dub with YGO!5D’s music [currently on episode 4], and I also rescored Bonds Beyond Time with a more series-inclusive soundtrack).  I could also try what-ifs (example: a DBZKai episode or clip with ARC-V music) depending lol.  Not sure what good rates are for all that, though, so if you happen to know what someone who’s offered the same charged, let me know and I could work off of that! For now, I’ll say maybe… for songs:TV-Size: $2; Full: $5?

Thanks for reading this; any and all help would be very much appreciated!

Friendly reminder that you should be watching GX in Japanese through my subs with this handy stream masterpost :)

So I posted the other day about doing some minor text editing in BelieveXBelieve’s video to translate “Kaba” to “Hippo on one of the billboards;” I spent today finalizing that, and fixing up my editing-in of Sawatari’s unrevealed cards from my last upload, and getting the credits and karaoke finalized, so BelievexBelieve V1 is all good to go!

I’ve also had One Step ready to go for a month or two now, but wanted to wait for Jake, the guy who set me up on BXB’s styling, to look over my script.  Since it’s been a while, and I do think it looks good as is, I tweaked some lines here/there, and now One Step’s all good to go; this is the version for episode 1.

Lemme know what you guys think! Meanwhile, with those done, I’ll start to look into the script and stuff I want to translate in episode 1.

…aaafter I get some ground broken on GX 24, finally.  Those of you following my GX subs may’ve seen me post about prepping for ARC-V while some editing was done for a Manjoume post-credit scene that was TV-only.  Unfortunately, said editing couldn’t be done–@alicethedragonvalkyrie did a great job for one of the shots, but the other editors I reached out to couldn’t help out due to life kicking into gear–so I think I’ll just slap my “Just After This” stuff on the clip and work with it, text and all.  As much as it’d bug me having sponsor text there, it’s a nice shot that’s worth showing off, lol.

So, I’ll focus on getting 24-26 done a little quicker to make up for the delay there, and just knock out the THUNDER!! episodes, then I’ll do more for ARC-V #1.  Stay tuned!

[Update (3/31/16): ALL THE LINKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED! It seems Cloudy had issues with most of the MKV files I originally uploaded for this, so I spent a few days resyncing the uncut dub’s audio to the Japanese DVD rips (Zero-Raws for 1-4, then Astral_Union’s for 5-9 since ZR had some weird frame rate issue going there).  I also tweaked the audio a bit; for one, I added back the more human-like monster sounds (Cyclops/Hitotsu-Me Giant, Crocodilus, etc) that were cut for some reason where no one was speaking over them.  And I also made the prologue about the History of Gaming consistent through all nine episodes (originally, it’d either be scripted slightly differently or had different inflections) by using the prologue as used in episode 8, which was much closer to the original’s style.  The voices may not match the lip-flaps exactly (since I used the Japanese raws [I don’t have the uncut dub as originally released so I dunno if they’d originally edited the flaps]; I used music/SFX to guide my timing), but it shouldn’t be too distracting since the SFX and all should match.  I’ll post these up for download on NAC in the next day or two, so stay tuned.  Let me know if the links are down, and always check the original post!

So I had these lying around and, after some discussion earlier, decided to upload them.  This is the uncut dub 4Kids produced with FUNimation way back in… *google-fu* 2004 WHOA WHAT HOLD ON TEN+ YEARS AGO?! WHAT–I MEAN HOW?! :O

*ahem* Anywho, yeah, produced back in 2004.  This dub kept the original music and OP/EN, card designs, as well as the original dialogue.  How well it was adapted is now up to you to judge. :P Some original names were also kept in spots (like Sugoroku over Solomon), while one instance sounds good in theory, but not so much in practice lol.  It only went on for nine episodes before the plug was pulled, with a fourth DVD going up to 12 already planned.  The main excuse tossed around was that 4Kids didn’t want them to compete with sales of the dub DVDs (while, while stupid, given it was 4Kids at the time…), but after looking it up on the Wikia and seeing a possible legal rights issue listed there, that seems a lot more plausible.  Especially given the contract issues with Yugi’s Seiyuu, Shunsuke Kazama, that were only recently cleared up IIRC for the Crunchyroll subs.  And since the Japanese-audio versions were on the DVDs too, it does make sense.  But who knows, maybe with the DM remaster going on, they’ll reconsider resparking the project.

But anywho, enough backstory.  Here you go, guys; enjoy!

For more uncut episodes, you can look into watching the Singapore dub; also keeps the original music and dialogue, but they use the dub names and the voices/acting (but mostly the voices) can be a bit wacky at times, DUDE! Still, they made it up to Mai VS Marik at last check, so they have that working for them.  It was up on Dailymotion, but currently only two episodes from it are up. 

Also, while we’re on the topic, while Googling for the Singapore dub, I dug up this petition asking 4K and Konami to consider an uncut redub.  It was made last summer; why not try and boost it? :D (Also, we should all mention the DM remaster going on in Japan as a good excuse to do it lol)

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function so I can organize everything like on Dailymotion.  Enter this post, where you’ll find all the links sorted out by seasons! I’ll be updating it as I upload my finalized Season 1 episodes in the coming weeks, so check the original post periodically or keep an eye on the notes for any reblogs of it I do so you’re aware of any updates.  Also, keep in mind that you can download these from NAC, since I post all my downloads there!

If you would rather download, you can also use this torrent set up by rhodanum with all of my subbed episodes, including my updated Season 3 subs (which you won’t find in other torrents): http://bit.ly/1dVusa2

(Before you go on here, if you don’t mind, would you please take a minute to sign this petition I’ve set up to get GX’s unreleased music tracks released? A lot of GX wouldn’t be as good as it was without the unreleased music, and it’s still disappointing that the delayed Sound Duel 2 didn’t cover much of them.  Fans got ZeXal an unexpected Sound Duel 5, so we’re trying to do the same for GX here! Spread the word if you can, too!)

Also, Crunchyroll has begun to roll out official GX subs as of 8/1/15! This is excellent news for the fandom, and while you’re more than welcome to continue watching my subs, be sure to give their subs at least one watch just to show support for the official release! You can even have it on mute in the background!

To keep the html’d list consistent, season breaks are denoted like this; arc breaks are in italics.

UPDATE (9/4/16): Finalized!Episodes 1-23 now on the list! If you see any busted links, shoot me an ask and I’ll fix it up! Make sure you check the original post first, though; I may have already fixed it. :P
