Description: Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time
Discover Anime @ AbsoluteAnime.comNinja Scroll- The SeriesYu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time is a feature-length crossover produced to mark the tenth anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It brings together the lead duelists of the franchise's first three television series for the first time: Yami Yugi from the original Duel Monsters, Jaden Yuki from GX, and Yusei Fudo from 5D's, each pulled out of his own era to face a common enemy.
That enemy is Paradox, a duelist from a ruined future who blames Duel Monsters for the destruction of his world. Rather than fight the game in his own time, he travels into the past to erase it at the source, targeting Maximillion Pegasus, the man who created the cards. Yusei chases him across time, arriving first in Jaden's era and then in Yugi's, and the three heroes join forces in a single duel to stop Paradox, overpower the stolen "Malefic" monsters he turns against them, and keep their shared history from being wiped away.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time was released in Japanese theaters on January 23, 2010. An English-language version of the film was produced by 4Kids Entertainment. The digital cinema developer and distributor Cinedigm screened the film in selected stereoscopic 3D theaters in the United States. In the United Kingdom, Manga Entertainment released the film in selected stereoscopic 3D cinemas, and followed this with a Blu-ray 3D and DVD release. The film was also released in the United States on Blu-ray and DVD.
The film earned over US$2 million in Japanese theaters, and also sold well on DVD, both in Japan and the United Kingdom. Film critics, however, criticized it for its limited scope of audience, claiming it was strictly marketed to children or fans of the series.
Worth watching if you have followed any of the three series and have ever wanted to see their heroes share the screen. At roughly fifty minutes it plays as a fast, fan-first celebration rather than a deep story, so newcomers are better off starting with the shows themselves. The English dub includes roughly 10 minutes of television recaps at the beginning, meaning the actual new story content is still about 50 minutes long.
