(Warning: this journal is slightly pic-heavy)
Guess what awesome I have *O*
The following review is for the DVD VERSION ONLY of the Yugioh Bonds Beyond Time from Japan and the UK.
DO NOT ASK ME FOR A RIP/DOWNLOAD.
Just by sleeves:
The Japanese version though included a slip cover
and a booklet with art and designs
JP Version-
Collector's edition original sleeve
10th anniversary 20pg booklet (includes character and monster designs/art)
One main menu that allows for:
- Scene selection
- 5.1ch surround or 2ch audio
- 2D or 3D mode (note only compatible with 3D displays)
Video itself:
- No subtitles
- Video quality is sharper
- Background music from mostly 5D's/was used for 5D's/GX
- Ending credit song is MAKEMAGIC by Jealkb
Screenshots:
JP Menu:
3D mode: (I don't have 3D display so... lol )
Compare with dub:
UK version-
One main menu with two sub menus that allow for:
- Scene selection
- Extras (Japanese version; The 10 minute DM,GX,5D's recap thing; Trailer (on the website))
- No 3D mode, one audio track (NOTE: the BLU-RAY version does offer a 3D track http://animeblurayuk.blogspot.com/2011/08/yu-gi-oh-bonds-beyond-time-3d-review.html )
Video (dub)
- No subtitles
- 4kids edit of cards/foreign words/"death"
- Dark Magician Girl and Yubel left unedited
- Background music from all 3 series, and a few original tracks
- Ending credit songs are the three openings for DM, GX, and 5D's
Video (JP version)
- Hard English subs (means you cannot turn them off)
Screenshots:
From the JP version on the UK DVD:
I was kinda hoping for specials like video from the US dub premiere / JP premiere or maybe interviews with cast and crew but... lol
(and i really don't understand why give us Malefic Red Eyes Black Dragon... ._.)

Buy your copy:
NOTE THESE DVDS ARE REGION 2 That means if you are outside of Japan/Europe they may not work on your PC or DVD player unless it is region-free or if you can change your region. (also note: for DVD players the difference in Region 2 is PAL (Japan) vs NTSC (UK/Europe) )
Also for AmazonUK: you do NOT have to live in the UK, trying logging in with your Amazon account and see if you can get all the way through, I have friends in Canada and the US who bought and received their DVD this way.
At this point, I really doubt the US is getting YGO3D, so I would say if you're a hardcore fan to get either JP (if you can afford it) or the UK version (which is about $7 USD)
Territories other than the US/UK/JP may get YGO3D in 2012 when it is "officially" the "10th anniversary", if 4kids International isn't screwed by this lawsuit in the end... :/
