2 disc for all episodes! only $29.00 ?!
Sounds like a great price. but is it legit or not?
And if it does happen to be a bootleg is the quality bad?

If something is region-free that's usually an indication of a bootleg.

PLUS: It has zero reviews and is no longer available on Amazon.

It got licensed by Funimation, and they tend to put out affordable boxsets.
They're just a little slow at it sometimes... Sorry man.

It's alright. I just wanted some entertainment on the plane. While moving over seas. :/
Looks like Ill have to wait until a cheaper boxset comes out.
At least I'm not getting ripped off! :)

If you subscribe to funimation elite you can watch all their shows online for 7 bucks a month.

I would never buy anything funimation sells since they basically give it away online.

I'd prefer to watch it on the big screen with friends :P that's the problem.
I've seen the anime. Just I like it enough to buy it and watch again.

Funimation can be streamed to any device, including your TV. But I sound like I'm advertising now.

I wouldn't buy things like movies from anywhere but reputable sources (funimation/Amazon/Stuff like that).

O'relly? :O
Does it depend on your tv provider?
And since I'm moving to Denmark in a few months. I wouldn't know if it's possible there.

4Kids actually gave a good job at the dubs though. I loved Yami Yugi voice, it really fits him.

But censoring made it no-sense.

The good side though is that thing itself made YGO abridged.

It was that one time where you meant to post in a Not_Biased thread, or something like that. Can't recall much other than that.

Some obvious signs:

Region Zero
English/Chinese subtitles (except some Region 3 / Taiwanese DVDs)
Way too many episodes on too few discs -- in years past, 12-13 episodes on 2 discs was virtually always bootleg, but now many companies do release like that. In any case, 24-26 episodes on fewer than 4 DVDs is almost certainly bootleg.
Check animenewsnetwork to see if official releases exist for the region in question. For newer anime that have just recently aired in Japan, there won't be official overseas releases, and the official Japanese releases will be insanely expensive.

In sommary: if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Hmmm I might have, that sounds a little familar. It's still funny when other people do it though.

Yeah you could probably fit like 50 episodes of anime onto a blu ray disc if it was in 720p.

Ugh.

You wouldn't even have to question whether you've got a bootleg or not if you'd just buy solely from reputable sites like RightStuf and Robert's Anime Corner Store.

Also if they ever use the words 'genuine' or 'official' or 'not suspicious' then don't go for it.

- Gold-rimmed circle sticker thing near the upper right corner
- The rectangle thing along the bottom says Chinese subtitles
- Region free
- "Episode/Vol. 1-# End"

Yeah, it's a bootleg. Quality depends on the company that made it, and it varies.
You're better off sticking to streaming or torrents. Or buying it just for the box and burning your own DVDs.
