I agree with this. Except for the being ashamed part. xD
And I definitely agree with the part where the English version butchered his character. I was horrified when I realised how different they are.

[hihotiho.livejournal.com]

Seto is one of my favourite characters as well!

[easilyentranced.livejournal.com]

D-do you even know what fandom is? I have a feeling that 100% of it agrees with everything you said except for the being embarrassed part.

[netbug009.livejournal.com]

Ummmm if not liking 4kids dubs makes you a snob, than almost every animation fan ever is.

[ssjumi.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with being an adult YGO fan, dude/girl ;)
Especially if your favorite chara is the Seto of the original Japanese version of the anime. He might not be my #1, but I'm sure I'll always have a soft spot for him, too :3

So... *high five* :D

[atom-bunny.livejournal.com]

Heh - over 18 and likes YuGiOh... I suspect that describes a good percentage of the YGO fandom.

[mythc-writer.livejournal.com]

...Are you me? O_O I know my friends might think that you are me. I'm also over 18 and I love the guy. He's in my top list of favorite characters. Though I actually love his dub portrayal, but I'm in the minority. Most YGO fans feel the way you do.

[ambiance.livejournal.com]

more of a fan of 5Ds and GX over DM, but the part about being slightly embarrassed for being over 18 and being a fan of YGO? check.

[mean-cookie.livejournal.com]

I'm not big fan of YGO but I was reading the manga and watched the anime just because of Seto and yeah I'm over 18 too. xD Embarrassed not, why would be when he is such an awesome character.

[minigoff.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, OP, a lot of fans agree with you.

EN!Kaiba (And SingaporeDub!Kaiba) just isn't as futsukushii~ as JP!Kaiba.

[demishock.livejournal.com]

As a 24-year-old YGO:DM fan, I feel your pain. Usually when I admit IRL to people that it's one of my favorite shows of all time, I'm met with a blank stare and an, "Isn't that a pre-teen boys' show?" I DON'T CARE. I can like it if I want to. The trick, IMO, is to keep loving it despite the embarrassment. ;)

As for Kaiba, he's in my top four (my top four are tied; Atem, Bakura, Kaiba, and Jounouchi, haha). And despite having been introduced to the show via the dub, I just can't watch it anymore. I'm a fully converted fan of the original score and voice cast. (Rica Matsumoto's cackle...! ♥)

[(Anonymous)]

Are you me, OP? I'm twenty-one and agree with all of this (although I wish I could feel a little less ashamed about telling people I like Yu-Gi-Oh!; I'm working on it), especially the Kaiba part. Words literally cannot describe how much his character means to me.

[reppu.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna be the one off and say that I enjoyed the dub, back when I was young and impressionable and that's all we could get.

I take it for what it was, and it was tons of fun and randomness with all the changes they made. Still, whenever I feel nostalgic for the times when I thought bad boys were cool, I look at the dub. Seto was friggin' cool, and who didn't want a boyfriend that smart, rich, and bad-ass? Be ye not embarrassed.

Then again, I re-watch the Sailor Moon dub, so take that for what you will. ^^;;

[paenteom.livejournal.com]

Has someone drugged me recently and made me write fandom secrets or something?
And seriously OP, I don't know anyone who prefers the 4kids version over the original, so don't worry.

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

I've got to chime in on the you're not alone chorus, anon! Even up to the embarrassed part. While I indulge in my fandom love online, I've never told anyone RL how much I love the series, or Kaiba.

Though I think my practice in navigating online fandom is helping me with my career in politics a little bit.

[lljscrawls.livejournal.com]

4Kids destroyed the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise in North America, to the point where TV Tokyo and Nippon Information Systems are now suing them because of it. They no longer have any rights to do ANYTHING with the YGO franchise.

So, there's no shame in hating the English version, OP, because Japan evidently hates it, too. xD

[masked-creator.livejournal.com]

Hey, Kaiba's an awesome character, don't feel ashamed. YuGiOh! isn't in actuality a children's show in its original format anyway, so there's really nothing to feel weird about. It's a very violent show in later seasons. Anyway Kaiba gets more development than anyone else in the actual show, even more than Yugi.

Apart from some mild dialogue botching though, I didn't feel Eric Stuart did a bad job as Kaiba.

[(Anonymous)]

I was at a transit station barely a few days ago.
You know what I saw?

A grown ass woman reading Yu-Gi-Oh.

There's a first time for everything; though this was the first time I've seen that outside of a highschool or something. Was weird, though.

[(Anonymous)]

We should have an international "Come out as a Yu-Gi-Oh fan day"
Not that I'd actually admit to it. Damn it, there are much more embarrassing things to be a fan of, right?

[(Anonymous)]

I know how you feel anon. =_= Somehow, coming out of the closet was a lot easier than admitting I actually liked Yugioh. haha Oh, the shame.

[tadashi-chan.livejournal.com]

Surprised that no one's said this yet...

That's because it's SETO FREAKIN' KAIBA! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.




I'm not even a fan of his... although I do enjoy the show.

[kiraya.livejournal.com]

Lawd I miss this fandom some days. This secret almost makes me want to dig out my old Hong Kong bootlegs and rewatch the series.

Screw the rules I have money

[(Anonymous)]

I once had a dream involving him and another friend and we were like his sex slaves. lol I was probably 14/15.

[avatarmn.livejournal.com]

"I'm over 18 and I like kids' stuff" secrets need to be added to the list of banned types of secrets. FFS, everybody does.
