/f/ - Fandom Generals

I only ever watched the OG anime (as it aired in America, dubbed, lmao) and realize that this is barely scraping the iceberg of the fandom. I spent like 2001-2003 reading all the puppyshipping on ff.net, good times.

I lived in a weeaboo desert so it was crazy to learn the actual cardgame was actually (and still is) super popular years later.

OG anime dub is one of the few "good dubs" imo and a rare case of one that improves my viewing experience. Everyone us hamming it up and having a great time. It's my primary interaction with the franchise as well.

I know there are fujos who watch every single iteration even up till now, and I don't think I could do it. I've seen bits of GX and 5DS, but they just don't have the same strong core cast, and charm.

Any of you ever watch the Abridged Series meme videos? Yami Malik and Yami Bakura were played gay and the creator of it actually wrote adult fanfiction of the two. Wild to think about years later given how mainstream popular it was in the fandom not just the fujo side.

That being said Bakura x Bakura is my preferred ship.

YES!!!!!!!

sometimes I like tk x ryou more, but bakubaku has been my top for a while now

Yugioh shipping is so funny because I've run into multiple people who haven't seen the show and think it's all selfcest lol.

I love how obsessed Seto was with Yami. He basically dedicated the rest of his life to chasing the joy he found when dueling him especially factoring in the (dubiously canon) movies.

I've been rewatching yugioh recently and it's charming as I remember, yugi is my baby he's as cute as ever.

Yugi is really sweet and I love how he contrasts with Yami. I think its really funny as well to imagine how people not in his immediate circle of friends think when going straight from the strict Yami to the cute somewhat passive Yugi after a match.

Watching this now since I missed out as a child because I stuck to my girly shows. Weevil is really cute and Pegasus is an interesting villain. The 4kids dub is worrying me though because they always edit and cut shit out

Fuck yeah, Shrimpshipping is my Yu-gi-oh! OTP easily, especially during the later Seal of Oricalcos arc. They just have a cute little dynamic and I'm glad there is a small but dedicated shipping community for them.

I like the 4kids dub more than the original actually, blasphemy I know. It joins Pokemon in nostalgia breaking through my dislike of dubs. The 4kids cast are actually great voice actors for campy kids shows, its just the censorship which ruins their works like on One Piece which they shouldn'tbe dubbing in the first place.

Yu-gi-oh's dub does have alterations to the original if I recall correctly, besides removing guns in some scenes so it can play on American children's television they downplay Joey and Kaiba's abusive households, and inventing the "Shadow Realm" so characters wouldn't die.

It's clearly different, but again I still prefer it, maybe I wouldn't if I didn't grow up on it but I did.
