Okay, so considering Jaden Yuki is my spirit animal, I think it’s about time I started watching YGO GX. 

I saw a few episodes of the 4Kids dub, and it wasn’t… that bad. It wasn’t great, but I think I can live with it. 

Is the Japanese sub better, though? Like, should I just be watching it in Japanese? I mean, I’m more familiar with the English names, but it won’t be difficult for me to switch. I still prefer the name Jaden to Judai though…

So some help here? Dub or sub?

Sub! Definitely sub, all the way! The dub has a few funny moments, but they’re unfortunately drowned out in a sea of mediocrity, bad puns and character stereotypes (the best example I can think of is the main female character being turned from a serious, no-nonsense duelist and good student to a stereotypical blonde, fashion-obsessed airhead). This becomes even worse as the series goes on and characters start to develop out of their initial roles.

The episodes from 01 up to 163 can all be found here, with very good subtitles. GLL99 is working on finishing work on the series, so if you get to that point before he’s done, the GX_ST group have the rest of the episodes up on Dailymotion as well.

Also, you will love Judai’s development, this I can guarantee. Some of the best subversion of the ‘gotta be a master’ trope I’ve ever seen in shounen anime.

Might I add the full GX torrent on nyaa.

Oh my god, I was looking for those! Thank you so much!!

NONONONONO

Okay, maybe. lol See, that torrent has a lot of my old subs (notably for Season 3), and I always insist that people watch my newer/more accurate versions. You can download the pre-Season 3 stuff from there since those are good enough until I go back to them, but you can download Seasons 3 and 4 (and any revisions I make when/as they happen) at the NeoArkCradle’s Download Forum; you have to sign up, but there’s no post requirement to get into the DForum, plus it’s a good YGO forum. :)

[My PSA from some months ago about it for more info]

(via queen-of-explodo-kills)

This post was originally meant for people who I’ve seen watching GX Season 3 with my ancient S3 subs or other QUALITY -ish subs as seen on sites like KissAnime and GogoAnime, but applies to the rest of the series as well–I wanted to urge (well, not so much “urge”–more “suggest” lol) people to check out my hella-updated Season 3 subs as well as the rest, either by streaming on Cloudy through my masterpost, or download at the Neo Ark Cradle (you just need to register to access the Download Forum there).

Re: Season 3, most of those episodes haven’t been updated since about 2008 (especially 144+), and between then and now, things are a lot more accurate and detailed thanks to my getting better at Japanese (and editing), so I’d like to try and phase them out (granted, most people got them through that old batch torrent, so that might be nigh impossible, but y'know).  And if you’re watching the updated stuff after watching my Seasons 1 and 2, it’ll be a bit more seamless a transition as you go through Season 3 and into my Season 4 stuff (in terms of “personality conveyed through subs” and readability).

I’m also currently giving GX another run-through as I’m updating and finalizing my Season 1 and 2 stuff (currently at 12), so I’ll be updating the masterpost as needed; keep an eye out on the original post!
