Product Description
Saving the world from destruction week after week is not an easy task, so when Joey wins an exotic trip for four, Yugi and his friends decide to take a much needed vacation?or so they think! Before reaching their destination, their plane crash-lands in a deserted forest. Here in a remote area thousands of miles from Egypt lies a great pyramid that contains an incredible secret – a portal to another dimension! The World of the Capsule Monsters!” It’s a battle for survival as Yugi trades in his Duel Disk for a Capsule Shooter in a life-threatening challenge that is so much more than just a game!”
Well-we all knew very well that 4KIDS had gotten at least “something” of a successful income from the mildly-famed or infamous (depending on your own point of view) Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light/Yu-Gi-Oh Hikari no Pyramid. Punch line? You really couldn’t expect them “not” to pull something like that off again-at least not for a few “years,” and that turned out to be very, “very” true.
I have personally seen part of this twelve episode O.V.A. “movie” (made possible from downloads uploaded from Ireland television-where the first four episodes were aired in secret) entitled Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters-and pretty much, it’s everything you’d expect from 4KIDS, combining the not-so-decent writing from the American Edit version of the Doma Arc series, plus the elemental game properties featured in the Duelist Kingdom series.
Although the first impression of this anime series is corny (and perhaps even unsatisfying) the film does have its funny parts, which include Yuugi’s friends doing a parody of “the can-can,” along with other various other forms of physical humor through-out the show. Moreover, it seems that Joey’s/Jounouchi’s “classical scenes of ignorance” never cease to satisfy, even in this. ^_^
It is still unclear, however if Pegasus, Malik, Bakura, Kaiba or anyone else other than the “friendship” crew will be featured in this movie. One can only hope though… (if Amazon is correct in assuming that this is part “one” of a twelve episode series)
The DVD contains many monsters not seen ever before, in glorious animation, such as Aqua Madoor (a monster I have come to love when it comes to the first line of defense in the card game) along with the iniquitous and deadly villain from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 8: Reshef of Destruction video game (do I really need to say who exactly?). You will also see the return of old favorites, including the Dark Magician and the Celtic Guardian, along with the sweet and irresistibly adorable and cuddly “Kuribo.” (:
Once again, this DVD will only be amusing to Yu-Gi-Oh fans and “them” alone-anyone else (above the age of thirteen or so) may be better off either starting at the beginning of the Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters series (un-cut version “highly” recommended) or just steering clear from this DVD entirely.

Great Story, however the editing detracts.
This DVD contains episodes 1-6 edited into a 95 minute-long movie-like presentation. If you have never seen the episodes themselves, then the DVDs are great to watch, with an…

something I forgot
Another bad thing about Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters The Movie, volumes 1 and 2, is that for the whole thing, Yugi (as in little cute bug-eyed Yugi-chan) is a freaking WHINER-BOX…
Here’s the deal about Capsule Monsters:
* They’re calling it a “movie” even though the episodes are the same length as the usual ones, just because the animation style is closer to the movie than anything else.
* It is the first volume of 12 total episodes.
* 4 of those episodes were accidentally aired on Irish television, with episodes 3-4 floating around the web. But if you want the whole story, you’ll have to buy this DVD.
* These aren’t “cut” scenes from the original Japanese; this is an entirely new arc that has not been seen before, and is being released in sync with the new Capsule Monsters tabletop game. It has nothing to do with the video game nor the manga arc of the same name.
* This arc promises to be amusing, but generally is a rehash of all the duels against evil/darkness that you’ve seen before. It takes place between the Orichalchos/Waking the Dragons arc and the KC Grand Prix/Pharaoh’s Memory arcs, so don’t expect any reference to either of them.
* Characters like Kaiba, Malik, Isis, etc. will NOT be making an appearance in this arc. The cast is limited to Joey, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, and Grandpa (Solomon Mutou).

Uhhh…What?
Hiyas! So I picked up both DVDs for very little money at a local store. I had heard rumors that Pegasus was in it, so naturally, being the Pegga fanatic I am, I snatched it…

Yu-Gi-Oh takes a break from cards to a very entertaining result!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, I didn’t even know there was a mini series until I saw a commercial advertising the series coming to the US. I love Yu-Gi-Oh!

Most definitely not a movie…
Well, even though it’s 90 minutes long, it is most definitely not a movie… it’s more like an extended episode.
