As kind of a companion piece to my other post where i found some ultra early YGO fanfics and fansites, here are some reaction posts to the premiere of the first dubbed episode of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters I found on rec.arts.anime.misc, a anime-related newsletter messageboard (i cut the part with the dates, but most are from either 29 or 30 of September, 2001):

more silly gx dub nonsense because honestly it can be such a gift (largely season 2 clips............you know why)

Okay so I'm like 80 episodes into Yugioh and my biggest takeaway as of right now has been people are sleeping on Mai Valentine, she's probably the most interesting character in the show so far. My second biggest takeaway is that if Seto Kaiba existed in real life he would be the kind of person who watches Yugioh and makes Limp Bizkit AMVs of Seto Kaiba.

i watched the pyramid of light movie and all i took from it was "i was robbed of yugi properly wielding a cool knife" i was really banking on a stabbing and he just threw it how could they be such cowards.

and a bonus

cringetober day 9: crossover ship/rarepair

so i wouldn't say i ship them, but yugi and usagi should at least be friends. they have a lot in common!

The Yusei-orders-milk-at-a-bar scene is great because no matter whether you're watching sub or dub the entire thing is impeccable.

Sub: Yusei goes to a bar looking to recruit the help of a hardened criminal. However, his complete disregard for things like "reading the room" or "basic expected behaviors" means he walks into a bar, orders a glass of milk (because he likes milk), downs it in one go, and then asks after the man he's looking for.

Dub: Yusei has been especially instructed to go to this bar and order a glass of milk, which will signal to the barkeep that he wants to be put in contact with this man. Yusei does this. Then, having this glass of milk, that he is under no obligation to drink, downs it in one go.

"Yuma... When people grow up, they usually end up throwing away something that matters to them... But... don't you go and throw away... that power to believe in people, and that heart that never gives up... Don't you dare throw 'em away."

"Sh-Shark..."

"See, I would've liked to see the future you guys get going myself... but it doesn't look like I'll get to."

"Hey!"

"Kotori... Don't take your eyes off this idiot. Thanks, Yuma... Astral... My friends for life... I'm glad I got to have one last great duel with you two. Later..."

This is a little project that I worked on in the last weeks, and I finally finished it.

The Japanese dub is my favorite, but the Italian one was the one that made me discover Zexal, and I used to watch the show in Italian until the third arc.

I watched the episodes from the first two arcs in this dub many times and I'm still very attached to most of the characters' Italian voices.

This dub is very dear and nostalgic to me, so I wanted to share some Astral's clips from it on my blog.

But I didn't want to put a bunch of Italian clips here without any kind of subtitles, so I decided to do the subtitles myself. But what should have been just a few clips became all Astral's scenes in the first two episodes, and it took me more time than I anticipated.

Just a few things before you watch the video:

- I tried to do this translation more literally possible (so I apologize if some lines sound weird), but with some phrases and expressions I had to translate them in a not literal way to keep their meaning.

- The edit of the video is a little rough because I favored the audio over the video and I tried not to cut the lines too much. And since I only used Astral's clips, some transactions between scenes are not very smooth, I apologize about that.

- I hope that the subtitles are easy to read, I never did something like this and I did my best to make them readable and not too fast.

- I rewatched it several times to check it, but it's very possible that there's still some errors or/and weird phrasing, so I apologize in advance for any errors.

After all those premises, here is the finished work:

Astral's clips from episodes 1 and 2 of Zexal in Italian dub (with English subs):

(I'm sorry for the bad quality, but not only the original videos were in a low quality, but I also had to lower it even more to upload it)
