Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online: English-Dubbed Capsule Monsters Episodes

It’s Morphin’ Time!
For day two of Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online Week, I’ve decided to index a series that I haven’t talked much about: Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters! Head over to my newest page, where you’ll find links to stream the 12-episode miniseries. The episodes are hosted on 4KidsTV.com, just like the English-dubbed Duel Monsters episodes posted yesterday. The episodes have unfortunately not yet made it to 4Kids’ YouTube channel.
The Capsule Monsters story arc takes place between the Grand Championship and Dawn of the Duel story arcs, hence the episodes’ placement on 4KidsTV.com’s own listings. I’ve opted to list the episodes separately from the Duel Monsters series, since they were not originally part of that show.
Capsule Monsters debuted in 2006 to much fanfare, though it was how the series first came to be discovered by the online Yu-Gi-Oh! fanbase that’s particularly interesting.
Word about a new Yu-Gi-Oh! series first surfaced in late 2005 when retailers received information about an upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters tabletop game that corresponded with the anime. This announcement, however, went virtually unnoticed. It wasn’t until the start of February 2006 that a few never-before-seen Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes were caught airing on the Irish TV channel RTÉ Two. Four episodes of Capsule Monsters would air before the series disappeared. Fans were intrigued but confused. On LiveJournal’s “Play the Damn Card, Already!” community, fans feverishly speculated about the show’s origins and its place in the Yu-Gi-Oh! timeline. The news would soon spread to the Janime Community Forum and anime forums everywhere. There hadn’t been this much excitement in the fanbase in a long time.
In May 2006, the first of two Capsule Monsters DVDs would be released in the U.S. The DVD contained a “movie” version of the series — a 90-minute edited compilation of the first six episodes. On the eve of the release date, 4Kids gave fans a special sneak peek by streaming the entire movie live on yugioh.com, an unprecedented event at the time. The second DVD, featuring a movie version of the final six episodes of the series, would be released in September 2006.
The full 12-episode series would eventually be added to 4Kids TV’s Fall 2006 lineup, giving American fans their first opportunity to watch the show in its entirety on their TVs.
A Japanese release of Capsule Monsters is conspicuously absent. As of this writing, there hasn’t been one. And with each passing day, the odds that it’ll happen look slimmer and slimmer.
Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online: English-Dubbed Duel Monsters Episodes

“Don’t move a muscle or I’ll shoot you with my invisible gun!”
Oh, 4Kids…
Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online Week is kicking off with a bang! A brand-new page that indexes streaming English-dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes is this week’s first new addition to the site!
You’ll find that all of the episodes I’ve linked to are hosted on 4Kids’ own online media library at 4KidsTV.com and 4Kids’ channel on YouTube. Both are legal and official sources for streaming the dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes! Hooray! Unfortunately, the videos on 4KidsTV.com are currently only accessible to visitors residing in the United States. The videos on YouTube are available to all visitors outside of Asia, but, as of this writing, only a fraction of the episodes have been uploaded.
Unlike my index for the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters episodes, which divides the series roughly into its various story arcs, I’ve chosen to divide the dubbed episodes into five seasons in the same manner that 4Kids does.
If there’s one thing that 4Kids does really well, it’s that they provide an extensive streaming library of their shows. Even 4Kids haters can’t deny it. Few other entertainment companies are willing to put all of their properties online and provide as comprehensive a collection of full-length streaming videos as 4Kids. All of their shows can be watched online, anytime, at 4KidsTV.com (with the exception of shows like Ultimate Muscle that they don’t own streaming right to, of course). Now if only they would update their YouTube channel as frequently as their website!

XD
As usual, you can find these and all of the other English-language episodes listed on YouTube’s Shows portal for Yu-Gi-Oh! Thanks to umandsf for the heads-up about these uploads!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Returns to Broadcast Television!
September 4, 2009 at 1:42 pm | In 4Kids, Duel Monsters, English dubbed, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 2 CommentsTags: cw4kids
The original English episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! are making a grand return to broadcast television on Saturday, September 5th — that’s tomorrow! 4Kids’ Nameless Cubicle Office Guy has revealed that The CW4Kids will be airing the first and second episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! tomorrow beginning at 8:30 am. After that, Yu-Gi-Oh! will be airing every Saturday at 9:00 am, starting on September 19th.
The last time Yu-Gi-Oh! was broadcasted in the U.S., there wasn’t even a CW4Kids or a CW Network. Back then, the cartoon block airing Yu-Gi-Oh! was called Kids’ WB, which was part of the WB Network. The final episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!, promoted back then as the “Yu-Gi-Oh! End Game” event, was shown in the summer of 2006. Wow, that felt like so long ago! Has Yu-Gi-Oh! been aired at all between now and then?
Hopefully, the return of Yu-Gi-Oh! will spark the interest of a whole new generation of duelists — a few of whom, through their adventures in the worlds of GX and 5D’s, may have never laid eyes on the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters series. One thing’s for sure though. This broadcast will finally put the “Yugi” back into “Yu-Gi-Oh!” (ugh, how corny!), so tune in!

[4Kids-YouTube] Yu-Gi-Oh!’s popularity soars on YouTube
April 21, 2009 at 9:30 am | In 4Kids, Duel Monsters, English dubbed, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a CommentTags: youtube
Even though YouTube’s new destination for TV Shows was introduced less than a week ago, the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! is already near the top of the rankings. As 4Kids’ Nameless Cubicle Office Guy points out in their channel’s comments, Yu-Gi-Oh! is among the top 10 most popular shows on YouTube for all categories, not just Animation & Cartoons. And indeed, Yu-Gi-Oh! is currently listed right there on the front page for the most popular shows.
As such a big fan of the Duel Monsters series, it warms my heart to see that there’s still so much interest in the series, even though it’s a few years old. This is, of course, great news for 4Kids as well. As I’ve previously mentioned, the success of 4Kids’ shows on YouTube could provide a greater incentive for them to continue to upload even more shows and more episodes. We might even get official subtitles for the Japanese episodes. Who knows! ;)
