by far my fave example of 4kids censorship is that one sonic x episode where knuckles goes to this shady bar but all the bottles on the shelves have been replaced with fries and burgers

At least there was something there…

Bonus (and I just realized this–A+ editing, 4Kids):

Roger Slifer passed away yesterday apparently - he was the producer for the first season of the yugioh dub. RIP.

Roger Slifer was the co-producer of the 1st season Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (English Dub). Unfortunately, back in June 2012, a hit him and he was seriously injured.

On June 23, 2012, Slifer was hit by a car while walking near his home in Santa Monica, California. The driver fled the scene and was never found, leaving Slifer seriously injured which necessitated being put into an induced coma because of head trauma. He was later transported to his hometown in Morristown, Indiana for continued care. http://www.newsarama.com/23967-lobo-co-creator-roger-slifer-passes-away.html

Poor man. I hope he rests in peace and finds happiness wherever he may be.

I’m amused by the fact that 4Kids actually cut the subtle buildup to the reveal that Titan’s just playing mind games

Like, Shou and Hayato are noticing different body parts “fading” and even wonder about it, while none of that is in the dub so far, and what is from that last part is just Syrus noticing the fading, which leads to

“Think that could work on my waistline?”

Update (10/2/18): ALL THE LINKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED! I was told the links to my subbed!GX masterpost might’ve been down when Videa.hu just refreshed the video IDs, so I thought I should update the links on this list, just in case! Please let me know if you find that the links are down, and always check the original post in case they were already fixed!

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.

And back in March 2016, 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.  I’ll post these up for download on NAC sometime soon, so stay tuned.  

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)
