i didn't realize how much storyline was missing from the original ! , even though i never watched this anime much when i was younger , i still enjoyed the episodes that i did watch back then.

on the original Kaiba is NOT an asshole, but whats worse is in the original it had an amazing soundtrack!, that they edited out for crappy "boing boing" sounds.

(there are more videos you can check)

Now the worst thing is that i watched alot of it dubbed in arabic. and in arabic its more edited up than it is in english.

but to be serious, i really enjoyed the abridged series more than the actual show

Use this as an opportunity to learn.

Not all dubs or dub studios are created equally.  Do you see the "4Kids" in the title of all those videos?  4Kids Entertainment is the group that acquired the Yu-Gi-Oh license and it is are responsible for the dub.  They're the same people that would later screw up the One Piece dub.

4Kids is fairly despised in the anime community for some of the most awful dubbing and censoring in existence.  It sounds pretty mean but hopefully they'll be going out of business soon as their profit margins have been in the red for quite some time.  I also believe Funimation acquired the license to One Piece which leaves hope for a respectable English dub despite all the damage 4Kids did to it.

If you enjoy watching anime/reading manga, then you should join myanimelist.net and the VG Chartz Club there.

not much into the anime and manga reading.
but i know 4Kids thing, its just..... ruined the whole plotline that i knew when i was a kid.

Do you know who used to be a CEO for 4kids ?

Although subs are a little better, both subs and dubs take away from the author's original vision.

You wanna get a completely unskewed version? Learn the language.

Bobby Kotick?

That would explain why everyone keeps telling me One Piece is great when I've only seen the dubbed version.
