Information taken from the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Facebook Page:

Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Page We will have a solution for our fans outside the US coming this year. (Source)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Page This is for US only. We will have more info about international streaming soon! (Source)

No additional information whether this means both the Dubbed and Subtitled versions.

EDIT: Fixed the Title, though hope a mod can fix the thread title as well.

Re: Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise

Giving this a bump up. The official website for Yu-Gi-Oh! has launched. Although the website contains all available Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes to date, sadly the series is still unavailable for the international market. However, they indicated in the news post that International Streaming is coming soon. As to when that'll be, it's anyone's guess.

I'll try to also update the top post here to include release information regarding the European and Australian/New Zealand releases of Yu-Gi-Oh!, since I've been behind schedule on that.

Re: Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise

Giving this a bump, since I wasn't aware of this:

Looks like Manga Entertainment will be releasing the series in the UK. Don't believe they've said anything about it just yet, but it's currently scheduled for November 17, 2014.

Probably should update the prefix, since I didn't take into count the UK release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time and now this news. Not sure how I want to proceed with this thread, whether or not to just cover the UK side or also Australia as well.

Re: Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise

I once indexed all the UK Yu-Gi-Oh releases for someone (bottom of my spreadsheet)
From what I could find, Contender (now part of Entertainment One IIRC) released 13 volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh (dubbed, naturally, like their "Cardcaptors") nad three for Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Warner released a movie of some sort, and as mentioned Manga previouly released the 3G movie.

Missed this yesterday. I updated to thread tag and [UK] notation (unless you want to include AU).

You know what, for just ease, I'll just make this for the UK. So that'll be fine for now.

Re: [UK] Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise

Jerome has confirmed Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 4 onwards will be NTSC from now on.

Manga is switching to NTSC-DVD on Season 4 and 5 of Classic YGO box sets. I did not want to switch mid-stream, but our arrangement to split PAL authoring costs with foreign disti partners slowed our release schedule right down. Accessing US NTSC rep-masters makes this big box set releases much more viable.

With regards to reissuing Seasons 1-3 with NTSC format.

Not now. S1-3 already BBFCd with PAL timings. NTSC re-release means re-submitting them and additional authoring costs.

Also an explanation on why there's no subs:

We can't afford it mate. We had to go with what's already been authored in US. Adding Japanese audio and English subs would have tripled our costs. It was obviously on our list of things we wanted to do, but we simply can't justify the extra cost.

^ Jerome has also said that Yu-Gi-Oh has done well for them, and they are interested in more:

Re: [UK] Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise

Still such a shame that they aren't going to look into a Subbed release, I know it would cost lots, but think of the profit, people from all over the world will buy it, people have wanted it since it came out and even more so when 4Kids started dubbing it.

It's subbed on Crunchyroll, so at least there's that option.
