I remember this show
The english dub seemed like they knew the concept was weird and just had fun with it
Can't remember the last time I laughed so much through a show like this

Matrix convention indeed Shobu

o.O I thought this show did horrible here in the states. Could've been wrong though. I only watched the first three episodes then stopped.

Its important to note that the TCG is pretty much death here, maybe a relaunch is in the works??

    Original American series.

    Japanese title.


At least the Hub is being supportive. It's shows like these that will install a brand-new Anime base in ten years, after all.

So is this a completely American production or an American/Japan-animated co-production like Bakugan? Either way, I hope it's still funny. I remember the old English dub relishing the fact that it was a parody. I mean, Greg the Bunny Anime dazed

The Duel Masters: TCG is produced by Wizards of the Coast, known for Magic: The Gathering, so it makes sense they'd take it back to the USA.

They better hire the same people "Plastic Cow" who dubbed Season 1 (before the staff change in Season 2, due to the budget cut), including writer Kevin Rubio, famously known for his Star Wars meets Cops parody film Troops (if ya guys haven't seen that, you should - it'll make ya forget about Episodes I-III Laughing ).

But with less edits! Kevin Rubio used to come to Toon Zone and post how he wrote the parodies and explaining why he did the edits, including Mimi's expanding boobs who's only 12-years-old! Shocked



Do the phantom fish flop!

Shocked Wow indeed.... you can even see her, uhh...yeah. What was the audience of this show again, originally?

Oh, and though I only saw a few episodes of it, I fondly remember Greg the Bunny and the other localization add-ons. Very Happy

Is this going to be a laughably bad gag dub like the first series? Laughing

"Duel Masters Card Game Gets New TV Series …in USA no IN AMERICA" Laughing I'm sorry I couldn't help but do Bandit Keith considering Duel Masters is basically Yu-Gi-Oh. But seriously what's with the "...IN USA"

Sweet... I think I remember seeing something recently about actually getting that channel. So I'm sure it's a red herring.

The only way this could get better is by annoucing season-set releases to boost pre-launch promotion.

This better have the same writers as the first season. For all the people who didn't watch the first season of this on CN because it was a TCG-based anime, you missed one hell of a parody.

Ratings on a 1/2 hour TV commercial really don't matter as long as the product it's pushing sells. How well the cards sold is more important than how well the show itself did.

Though in this case there was a lot of people like myself and some of the others who have posted here who watched the show with out any care for the card game. It'd be great if they could show the first season again on the Hub as a primer.

I'm not going to lie, I hate this show a lot... ALOT alot... But I really love the design of the monsters/characters.

....that doesn't makeup for unlawfully bad dubbing.
