Yu-Gi-Oh: The Official First Season DVD Review

On September 10th 2013 Yu-Gi-Oh fans will have the opportunity to own the very first season of Yu-Gi-Oh on DVD. The DVD comes in two volumes. Volume 1 which contains three disc includes episodes one to twenty four and includes the epic battle between Yugi and Kaiba. Volume 2 which also contains three disc includes episodes twenty five to forty nine and concludes with the battle between Yugi and Pegasus. If you wanted to collect the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise at a decent price this will be the DVD to buy. 

All forty nine episodes are included untouched just how you remember it on television. Unfortunately fans looking for the original Japanese version of the show will be disappointed. This DVD contains the 4K edited version just how you remembered it on the CW. The DVD doesn't contain any special features or behind the scenes look at the show. It's just the forty nine episodes in English dub nothing more and nothing less. Personally I would love to see some special features like interviews with the English voice cast, the impact Yu-Gi-Oh had in the west and a little better presentation on the menu. However the DVD exceeds on giving you what you want which is Yu-Gi-Oh Season 1 in its entire length. The animation holds up well and you don't really see the age of the show which is great. Overall if you love Yu-Gi-Oh and want the collection at a fair price this is the DVD collection for you.

Final Grade: 8.0/B+
