1. I actually like Siegfried. He's amusing, but also intriguing, being about the only character who has never used magic or even witnessed it from another character. He's firmly based in technology, and hasn't had his views shaken, as Seto repeatedly has. I think he'd probably be more willing to accept magic than Seto, though, with his love of Norse mythology. I also wonder a lot about his family life, his relationships with his father and mother and such. The anime gives a glimpse of his relationship with his father, but nothing about his mother.
2. I still have very little interest in the first seven manga. XD; Probably sounds like sacrelige to die-hard manga fans and season 0 fans, but eh. Going back to my dislike of child villains, Mokuba as an antagonist is just freakin' creepy. Especially when my first exposure to him was his sweet self in the main anime. And I don't much like Seto in the first manga, but I prefer him there to his season 0 self. Him deliberately killing Gozaburo in season 0 goes against everything Takahashi-sama wanted for the character. I'm so glad the Duel Monsters anime is separate from season 0.
3. And I also still prefer the dub voices. I've tried to watch it in Japanese, and I love seeing what the dub cut out, but I'm always returning to my beloved dub. If the uncut dub had continued, that would be the most perfect thing for me. I'd get all the story, with the option of the voices I'm used to. Some of the Japanese voices I like, but others continue to just sound wrong to me. XD; My mind will not wrap around the idea of Yami Bakura being voiced by a girl and sounding so young.
3. Just my two cents on Yami Bakura's Japanese voice - though it is pretty high, he has a MEGA awesome evil cackle. It's the best villain-laugh I've ever heard. <3
(And I can't help but love that seiyuu in particular because... she did Ash in Japanese Pokemon, and she's an awesome singer. 8D)
Word about the dub. I don't like the edits either, but I love the VAs. Dan Green does an awesome Yami (though I always thought his Yugi sounded a little old), and Arkana's voice is a lot more hilarious than Pandora's! xD
