New Contact Page and Other Tiny Updates

Happy Bakura is happy.
Hey, everyone. I’ve just made a few small updates around here. First, I’ve retired the Talk Page, removing it from the tabs at the top of the screen. In its stead, I’ve added the new Contact page, which makes communicating with me much easier and faster! I don’t know why I never thought to put up such a page in the first place!
Second, I’ve made a few cosmetic changes to various things. I’ve reorganized my Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series download page a little bit, changing the arrangement of the special/bonus videos to an alphabetical listing. The sidebar on the right side of every page has changed a little as well.
And finally, I’ve also begun updating the FAQs by adding some new questions and answers. The FAQs page is an ongoing project that’s always being tweaked. If you have any questions for me, or want to report any mistakes or broken links, you can always send word my way.
If something doesn’t look right on this site, please also let me know. It is entirely possible that I broke something while making these small changes. :P
Categories and tags redone, plus other updates
May 25, 2009 at 10:48 am | In Site Updates | Leave a CommentTags: downloads page, faqs
I know that everyone visits In the Name of The Pharaoh to download Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes, not to read a blog, and so I write my updates with this in mind. Still, I enjoy a well-organized and easily accessible website as much as the next person, and the one thing that was really bugging me about this place was the poorly arranged categories and tags. When I first added them, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing and the way I had set them up made them pretty much useless. So, I went back and changed all of them for every post.
Now, you’ll see that there are much fewer categories and tags, and that they are laid out nicely in the menu on the right side of every page. If you wanted, for some strange reason, to read all of my posts about fansubs for example, you can now actually find them with ease! 8)
I’ve also updated the FAQs a little bit, rewriting a few of the questions and answers and adding a few new ones as well. I’ve made a few small additions to all of the episode download pages as well.
To all of my visitors who live in the United States, Happy Memorial Day! Go out and enjoy the festivities!
Notice: Broken links to DM raws
April 30, 2009 at 3:39 pm | In Duel Monsters, Japanese, Raws, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a CommentTags: bittorrent
Recently, I’ve been getting emails informing me that links to several of the YGO DM raws are broken. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of the raws on my computer and I don’t know when I’ll be able to reupload them, so it’s probably going to take awhile before those links work again. For now, you can still grab the raws via the torrents. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Update (May 25, 2009): All of the dead links have been replaced, so this post is being unstickied. If you notice any more broken links, please don’t hesitate to let me know!
MegaUpload gets a facelift
February 18, 2009 at 7:34 pm | In Site Updates | Leave a CommentTags: faqs, megaupload
MegaUpload recently got themselves a cleaner, more streamlined look. For those of you who are new to using MegaUpload or who are looking for help, you may have discovered that the images from the how-to-download guide on the FAQs page are now outdated. I’ll be putting up new images as soon as I can. In the mean time, the written instructions are still correct and usable.
Update (February 19): The images have been updated. I think the old ones looked a little better. :P
FAQs Updated
October 31, 2008 at 2:07 am | In Japanese, Raws, Series 1, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a CommentTags: faqs
I was reading the FAQs the other day when I realized how horribly outdated they were. I had written, for example, that I wasn’t interested in adding any Yu-Gi-Oh! media other than Duel Monsters to this site. Since then however, I’ve added the first series and its accompanying movie, along with Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, while also expanding the Duel Monsters collection to include raws. Clearly, an update to the FAQs was in order, so I spent some time cleaning it up and adding a few new items. Glad I got that over with! I don’t want to confuse any new visitors!
Clean-up duty.
I also want to address something about Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 1/Season 0 that I had talked about in an older post, but that everyone probably forgot about. (Not me! >_>) I had previously said that a few raws for Series 1 can be found on Janime, but that “the quality isn’t too good, and they might be difficult to work with for anyone who’s interested in fansubbing this series themselves.” At the time, I hadn’t decided whether I wanted to set aside a new page here for those raws and I noted that I would come back to this. Well, I’m coming back to it now. :P
The quality of those raws are bleh. The worst part about it is that the resolution is tiny (352×262 — that’s smaller than what you find on YouTube!). Since they also use old audio/video codecs, these raws must be ancient by digital fansubbing standards. Given all this, and the fact that there isn’t even a complete set of the raw episodes — only half of the episodes have raws — I’ve decided not to put them up. Sorry if you’ve actually been writhing in anticipation during the past two months for these. TV-Nihon’s releases are vastly superior.
Okay, that’s all. What a boring update, huh? I hope I’ll have more stuff for you next time. Have a fun and happy Halloween!
Update (November 1): #yugioh! fansubs’ redirection URL isn’t working anymore, so I’ve edited their links in the blogroll and some other places to point directly to their website. Thanks to Sam for pointing this out.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie (Series 1/Season 0) Subbed
August 30, 2008 at 10:57 pm | In Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a CommentTags: bittorrent, downloads page, movie, tv-nihon
TV-Nihon is on a roll, releasing Toei Animation’s 30-minute Yu-Gi-Oh! movie — simply entitled “Yu-Gi-Oh!” — earlier today. Needless to say, I’ve created a new page just for the movie here, where you can download it via MegaUpload. All credit for the upload goes to Janime’s ShadowNeko003. As with TV-Nihon’s releases of Series 1, if you prefer downloading via BitTorrent, you can grab it from TV-Nihon’s official tracker.
Hey! What happened to my green hair?! Oh, you gave it to that kid…
This movie premiered in 1999, after the first series ended, but before the second series (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters) debuted. It is often seen as a bridge that links the first series, which centers on the everyday misadventures of Yuugi and his friends, to the second series, which of course focuses on Yuugi and the titular card game. The movie places an emphasis on the card game, and introduces the mechanisms of game-play more greatly than in the first series. Additionally, the backs of the cards change from the “MW” design seen in the first series to the familiar oval design seen in the real card game and in all later series. And, of course, Kaiba loses his lime-colored hair for a more attractive shade of brown. In Japan, this movie was screened simultaneously with the 20-minute “Digimon Adventure” movie.
LittleKuriboh parodies this movie in Yu-Gi-Oh: The Other Abridged Movie.
But I don’t want green hair…
Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 1 (aka Season 0) Subbed
August 28, 2008 at 10:56 pm | In Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 1 CommentTags: bittorrent, downloads page, tv-nihon
Earlier today, the fansubbing group TV-Nihon released episode 27 of the first series of Yu-Gi-Oh!, making them the first group in recent times to sub this series in its entirety!
To celebrate this great accomplishment, not to mention the awesome release of a Yu-Gi-Oh! show that many people still have not seen, I’ve created a new page for this series here that contains links to episodes 1 through 27. All credit and thanks go to Janime’s DARKMASTER, MidnightBlues, and especially to Gato and latiasfan2004, for uploading these episodes onto MegaUpload. For those of you who prefer torrents, you can also download this series from TV-Nihon’s official tracker. I’ve also added a link to TV-Nihon’s website in my blogroll.
What? Someone actually cares about my old show?!
In case you don’t know, the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series, simply called “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, aired in Japan between April and October of 1998 — two years before the series “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters” premiered. However, it was the Duel Monsters series that went on to become an international phenomenon, and when early fans stumbled upon the first series, many christened it “Season 0,” a lost season of Duel Monsters. This, however, is incorrect, for the two are completely separate series animated and produced by different companies. It has also been referred to as “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Shadow Games,” “Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 0,” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Toei” (after the studio who animated it — Toei Animation).
Now that I’ve made a post about this series, I’ll no doubt get more and more questions about where the raws can be found. The short answer is that while raws for about half of the episodes can be found on Janime, the quality isn’t too good, and they might be difficult to work with for anyone who’s interested in fansubbing this series themselves. I haven’t decided whether I want to dedicate a page here to those raws, but this is something that I’ll address in a future post. For now, go and download TV-Nihon’s release of Yu-Gi-Oh! and enjoy the show!
Update (October 28, 2008): I ended up deciding against posting the aforementioned raws. Their quality is very poor and it’s not a complete set of raws anyway.
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series
August 13, 2008 at 6:53 pm | In Duel Monsters, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series | Leave a CommentTags: bittorrent, downloads page, littlekuriboh, revver
Well, I was bored, so I decided to upload everyone’s favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! parody — Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series by LittleKuriboh! I’ve created a new page for it here.
The videos are available as WMVs (uploaded onto MegaUpload) and MOVs (from the YGO: TAS Revver account). If you don’t like direct downloads and prefer torrents, you can grab them from the official YGO: TAS website’s episodes page.
These videos, by the way, are not flash videos (FLVs) that were downloaded off of YouTube. They are videos that LittleKuriboh himself has made available via his blog or yugiohtheabridgedseries.com.
Even though it’s been over two years since YGO: TAS first appeared on YouTube, I still get a lot of laughs from watching and re-watching the series. I hope you all enjoy these as well. LittleKuriboh’s work is one of a kind.
Update (May 24, 2009): You can now also find all of the YGO: TAS torrents conveniently listed in this post. If any new torrents are released in the future, they’ll be added there.
Quick Update: More raws, plus more blog stuff
July 15, 2008 at 5:39 pm | In Duel Monsters, Japanese, Raws, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 1 CommentHi again! Raws for episodes 70, 71, 128, 165, and 186 are up. Once again, all thanks go to Gato from Janime.
Additionally, I’ve updated a few things around the blog, including the addition of tags to the blog posts. Maybe this will help people better find the information they are looking for. (Well, no one actually reads the blog anyway, so… maybe not… XD)
Here’s a random screenshot from episode 70. Now, go off and download your heart out!
Malik: “Bakura, you know I love you. But I have to leave you here and go download those raws!”
Quick Update: Episode 2 raw, plus some screwy blog stuff
July 3, 2008 at 10:30 pm | In Duel Monsters, Japanese, Raws, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 4 CommentsHey, everyone. Just to let you know, a raw for Duel Monsters episode 2 is up. A shoutout goes to shriek from Tatsu no Kiba Productions for uploading this.
Also, I just noticed something weird with the blog — there were a bunch of old duplicate posts. I think I’ve deleted all of them, but if you see anything strange, let me know.
