Damn it >_< .... (SK uncut DVD 3)

[Ashil]

looks like i have to wait a little longer for the ashil episode dvd to come out ^^;
but if it's true and they are monthly, it should'nt be to long until it comes out ;D

[Pinkechidna]

Well I hope they get in gear. I'm going to check some stores this weekend. Don't worry, Ashil, you'll see Ashil soon.

Wow, that was weird to type!

[Ashil]

hello there it's so nice to meet me.

lol it was weird to read too XD thats the only one im going to purchase since i taped over the episode
which is okay cuz when i skipped commercials i cut out parts of the ep.

I definetly don't think volume three of the Shaman King DVDs was delayed because 4Kids wanted to change the logo to the new one on the DVD, since I just got volume three of the uncut Yugioh DVDs yesterday, and it had the new logo on it even though it was released on the same date Shaman King was supposed to have been. Most likely it was delayed due to techincal errors because this volume of Yugioh had several of them on it. What I don't understand is why 4Kids delayed volume three of Shaman King but didn't do the same for Yugioh. I hope they'll do a recall for uncut Yugioh volume three because it seriously needs it.

What kind of technical errors?

[Takato]

Like, after the opening credits, they would show this clip from the prologe and the clip would freeze while the opening theme song kept on playing. Then, it would pause briefly during the commercial eyecatches (and both of these would happen for all the episodes on the discs). And there wasn't any dialog on the Japanese language track for the episode eight prologe, yet there was dialog on the English language track.

Ahh, I see. Yeah hopefully they get that stuff fixed.

I think you might have gotten a faulty disc, as I've read three reviews for it (one was the one on AnimeonDVD, two were on GameFAQs), none mentioned any technical difficulties. I recommend contacting FUNimation.

I doubt changing the 4Kids logo is a reason. After all, Yu-Gi-Oh V3 came out on its appointed date.

Also, good news. The subtitle track is different from the dubtitle track in some cases, and they aren't just names. For example:

Seto (dub): First, I must procure space on the 'net as a common user. Computer, run "Duelist Kingdom".
Seto (sub): First, I will have to procure space on the net as a common user. Computer, run a search with the terms "Duelist Kingdom".

it does'nt matter to me.........England still ain't got any volumes of either! They came out in October for you guys! Maybe thay were fixing the errors to make super UK editions. Is it so hard for me to see uncut yuugiou with good subtitles?

[Yash]

*goes insane*

4Kids is delaying Yu-Gi-Oh too

"Oh yeah, we're releasing a ton of shit, like Sonic X and Yu-Gi-Oh Edited... what, you don't care about that? Oh, THOSE... yeah, they're being delayed indefinitely. Haha, sucks to be you."

[SamLynn]

Wow...awesome... >_<

Mitsukai made a very good point in another thread.

In his words,

"I think the reason it's being delayed is because Horohoro shows up. Since they keep the dub names in the english language version, that means Horo should keep the name Trey. However, Trey is only a nickname he uses in the dub. Up till now, they've been using the exact same (often inaccurate) subtitles for both the english and japanese languages and only changed the names. I'm wondering how they'll handle this, will they keep his real name in the english version, will he simply not say that horohoro's his real name, or will they stop being lazy and make separate subtitles already?"

I advise you to think about this, because what are they going to do for the boro boro joke? If they use Trey Racer, the joke doesn't work! So I advise you all to ponder this wonderful thought! Thanks, Mitsukai!

Edit: I visited the link on the home page where you can preorder SK Uncut #3, and I noticed it said Vol. 3 was coming out December 30 2005. But above it, Vol. 4 was for sale and Vol. 5 was coming out March 29 2005! Yes, 2005! Is this a typo or is something happening?

[Shadowchan]

Pptth (anime fall)... DECEMBER??? GAH!

[Shorty22]

Does anyone know if they delayed ALL upcoming releases of Shaman King or is it JUST volume 3? The reason I'm asking is because I suddenly remembered my experience with Cardcaptor Sakura, where volume 4 was temporarily delayed and released at the same date as volume 7 because of something or another... quite frankly, I don't remember why. But they released volume 5 on schedule. So I was just curious/thought I'd toss another theory into the mix...

Oh yeeeeeaaaaaah, I remember that. The thing is, Pioneer at least told the public that 4 was delayed and not the rest. With 4kids/Funi we aren't hearing ANYTHING at all. I mean, geez...

Oh yeah, and pioneer never did give a reason for the vol 4 CCS delay. They did give a nice extra with the disk in apology though .
