I might not be your average viewer, since I didn't watch Yu-Gi-Oh as a child and found it by chance later in life through popular Youtube clips. If that sort of comedy suits you, the dub is a ton of fun. Season 3 in particular is full of meta jokes.

You have homages to the Big Lebowski, Goodfellas, the Price is Right, etc. which end up making those episodes hilarious in how over the top they are. There is still a fair share of more serious episodes towards the end.

The characters are mostly solid too. Jaden starts out a bit wide-eyed and not serious, but grows along the way and I could somewhat relate, The Chazz is a fantastic character all around, Bastion is a good comic relief for the time he is there.

Although, you also have all the issues that come with a 4Kids dub. No alcohol, no death, no partial nudity. In some cases, that censorship is really in your face (sake turned to hot sauce).

If someone's a fan of the manga or the Japanese version, I'm guessing they wouldn't be content with all the changes made here.

I had heard mixed things about Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, both from my friends and online. Polls online show that GX or Zexal are consistently on/near the bottom of people's ranking of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. I have watched the original series and 5D's and liked them both (although I still found the concept of speed duels a bit silly). I was hesitant to watch it, but after being given all the episodes on DVD I couldn't pass it up. To be upfront, this is only a review of series 1-3 as these are the only dubbed episodes.

So, what did I think of it? Well, its a bit of a mixed bag really. The series is canon and starts with a nice nod to the original cast members. It even had occasional appearances of other cast members throughout the series. I liked that idea, since they did acknowledge the original (and best) series without relying on it. The new cast was good, but very very different from the original. Jaden is a very talented duelist with a knack for truancy. This laid back attitude can get quite annoying at times, but what I found more grating was his over-exuberance for the game. He loved duelling a bit too much...The rest of the cast was good too. What I liked about this series is that we got more action from the cast other than the main protagonist compared to the original series. More duels = more variation, which I liked.

It seems that each series has a type of duelling that they like to latch onto and not let go. The original series utilised the same monsters over and over again, whilst 5Ds seemed to love synchro summoning. GX is no different and fusion was the name of the game. It was good since we got to see a wide variation of fusion monsters. However, it did get quite "samey" after a while, since we knew what Jaden was going to do most of the time. The only difference was the "winning move", which was very clever at times. I did also enjoy the new monsters and their use of the old monsters in the original series. The Egyptian Gods were even involved, along with a different version (which are considerably less powerful) that I enjoyed. So, although there were some aspects of duelling that I did not enjoy, there was plenty to be admired.

In terms of the actual storytelling, it is mixed in my opinion. Series 1 is obviously trying to get us used to a new cast and a new concept of a duelling academy. As such, the majority of the plot occurred in the duelling academy and the main storyline was very much internal. It was very good up until the end, which I found to be a bit of an anticlimax. Series 2 was my favourite, because the creators got a bit more...creative. The did so without it being too crazy. I enjoyed the concept of the "light" being evil and having main characters turn evil. It got us to see a different side of them. Series 3 was where it went a bit off. It started out OK, but when the duellists started going inter-dimensional duelling demons and beasts, it was a bit too weird. I just think that they were trying to out-do the previous season, but went a bit too far. It was still enjoyable, but it just seemed a bit confused (and confusing at times).

All in all, this was a Yu-Gi-Oh! series that was worth watching. To be honest, I enjoyed it more than 5Ds (cue the boos!), but that is because I just like the traditional method of duelling. However, nothing will compare to the original series. Its not the nostalgia goggles, I just genuinely believe the story lines and characters in the original series were better.

Well when my friend told me about there is going to be a sequel to Yugioh! And I was just, cool! I truly didn't like Yugioh the original as much as Yugioh Gx. I liked the character Jaden and Jesse the most. But I found Alexis Rhodes a tad bit annoying, her voice wasn't annoying, but she was just flirting with Zane and Jaden! And I was like Zane doesn't want you lady! And I was just! Uhh... I hate her! She was the whore of the show! And the obnoxious person I found. I kinda found Syrus annoying too because we get the point, you want to spent quality time with your bro Zane! And his voice! Goodness, his voice was higher than mine! Well I like the show, and I just can't believe how much I started loving the show!

OK, I'm sure many people will hate me for this, but i've gotta say it. Just as the original YuGiOh this series suffered because of either unable or too creative translators. So, they changed the names. Alright, if they think it's necessary, then do it. At least they're not as spoiled as in Detective Conan/Case Closed. But they even changed the dialogs. Most significant difference: In the Japanese version there is none, absolutely NONE romantic relationship between Asuka(Alexis) and Judai(Jaden). The only romance is between Sho(Syrus) and... any female character, between Jun(Chazz) and Asuka and the stuff about Rei(Blair). So, don't get angry, but things are like this. All in all, it is a good series, but... they should have aired the originals, even if you don't understand a word, you can at least enjoy the duels, as long as you know the cards on your own.

I can't fault them for lack of giving it a good shot. Yu-Gi-Oh GX is another butchering or an anime put out by 4kids, but honestly, this could have been much, much worse. The names weren't too radically changed and was pretty much the only option in some cases (ask anyone to pronounce 'Manjoume'(although I was disappointed to see a character named Cronos go)) and they actually didn't fiddle too much with the base script. Unfortunately, they still wrote out plenty, and the voice acting was, as usual, mostly absurd. But, like I said, it still could have been worse. There are a few places where they use the concept of death, and the writers had the good sport to reference the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged series once or twice, to my surprise. The aforementioned voice acting wasn't all totally bad, and I was a little glad to see they wrote out Cronos' (Crowler's) Italian accent, which annoyed me a little in the original series. The bottom line for it all is, it's pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. I hope 4Kids continues to improve. On a lighter note, if you're a fan of the game(and thus able to get into the show's plot), this is a good show to springboard yourself into anime with.

When I first watched the original Yugioh, it was good, but got boring after awhile. It basically had the exact same storyline all the way through the whole story, and consisted mainly of just dueling.

Yugioh GX, however, has some different story lines, though it has a lot of dueling as well, which gets kind of old after awhile. Watch a few duels that has Jaden in it (Which most of the duels do), and you basically know his favorite strategies, and you basically memorize his whole deck, so you aren't surprised if he summons Elemental Hero Flame Wingman onto the field; one of his classic moves for a lot (I think) of the first season. Later on he for some reason, uses more of a variety of monsters in his dueling, such as Elemental Hero Mudball Man (Or something like that). The only person that uses some variety of decks is Bastion Misawa, and it's amusing when you first learn he has so many decks that somehow fits under his yellow shirt.

The series is about 8/10, until the end. I find the storyline that happens later on, (with Jaden losing himself; kind of similar with Yugi, in the original Yugioh, and the Seal of Oricalcus), if you didn't understand what I just said (well, actually I wrote this, but it's just an expression, so I won't change it), then you have to watch a lot of the episodes.

It's a really good series, and I really enjoyed watching it. Even though it is really for young kids, I still enjoy watching it (for some reason). It's a great show. Check it out!

First class dueling at its best. Cyber dragon beats blue eyes white dragon by a downgrade.

It is very entertaining but it can get repetitive. It is mostly for kids. The characters are interested but kind if stereotypical.

I've been a big fan of anime for years, and even tried to get into the original Yu-gi-oh. This is the best one in a long time. A lot of adapts just change the words and don't' make sense. this is pretty cool though. The characters are like real people (some like my friends!) and are pretty funny. I was watching one and I forgot it was a cartoon b/c it was so cool. Cartoon network needs to air it more. Anyone hear about new episodes? For my all time favorite anime adapts, this is nubmer two, right below dragon ball z. my favorite eps are the one with the Sacred beast cards and the match between jaden and zane. They had attacks with like 20000 points! not even yugi could pull that off!

Compared to the original Yu gi oh, GX is a joke but this anime is still good. To become actually interesting it takes 110 episodes, yes 110 I didn't mistype. Before that there isn't even a story (the knights can't be considered as enemies) , just adventures and jaden using the same duel strategy at the academy. There are some very good episodes still, like jaden vs crawler, jaden vs zayne, and jaden vs the original yugi deck, and the last episode and there's many references to monsters of the original series, even Ra.

The second part is where this can even be considered worth reviewing. Yubel is definitely more interesting and it's a shame that the sacred beasts are used so rarely compared to the Egyptian gods.

The third part is very boring. It's about the future of every character and honestly it's even worse than the first part but the final duel of GX is between yugi and jaden, honestly it's one of the best episodes.

The first part is 4/10. The second part 7/10. The third part 2/10.

I have somewhat an affinity to the 4kids Yugioh--Hey I didn't know it was a mess up of the Japanese version--When I found out about original version first time I came across the manga, nabbed it and loved it too. I think of 4kids as taking place in another dimension and the manga in another dimension. Back to 4kids Yugioh--it's better than messed up Pokemon which I swear I wonder why the latter show hung on so long. Having watched GX I figured why Pokemon is still going strong.

Let me start with average episode--Oftenimes Left me scratching my head. What's going on here and why is it so boring? The reason for their dueling I had not the slightest idea. Worse, IMO too many characters looking like original Yugioh characters. The worse offender is Shō Marufuji (Syrus Truesdale)--Turn hair upside, ditch his glasses, dye it purple front yellow at the hairline and see who's there. And if a character doesn't look like an old character they act like one--Good God, Shō's (Syrus) brother. Seto cocky Kaiba.

I'd love to see GX the Japanese version--And while I search for it watch the Yugioh's more superior better Capsule Monsters saga better I mean it had coherent plot than this. Still I'm giving it 2 as unappealing I find this show, it's better than mind numbingly repetitive Pokemon,

GX is the best show ever. Much better than the original yugioh. the characters are cool and the school is great. it's like harry potter with duel monsters. to whoever complained about changing the names, you don't know what your talking about! i don't want a guy named "hamotoao" or whatever walking around! i want chumley! nobodys name is judai! the names are great just the way they are. thats what makes the show good! its original! nobody wants the old Japanese version. cartoon network is great for having the guts to make it better. it should go back to being on twice a day. plus, the dueling is much better in gx then in yugioh. the combos are great and i can't wait to buy them. they need to make a movie soon! get your game on!!!!!!!!!

I love Yugioh and that is all I have to say about that. I had to leave a comment just because this loser lipnusis keeps leaving reviews for each and every Yugioh and they are all the same review with the names changed. Lmfao this guy is a joke, get a real life and stop sitting on your butt at home making up stupid reviews for each and every series. That's what you do best huh? You have no life and instead you goto each series in Yugioh and just leave lackluster reviews since you can't actually do a real good review instead you spend your time making yourself feel important. Have a wonderful life buddy.

Rating: 10/10 Verdict: A legendary evolution of the Duel Monsters legacy, where youthful energy collided with deeply personal themes, and a new king was forged through adversity, loss, and growth.

What Made GX Legendary

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX wasn't just a continuation of the original series - it was a calculated risk that redefined what it meant to grow up in a world where destiny, responsibility, and trauma weren't just plot points, but forces of transformation.

At first, GX seems like a lighthearted spinoff: card games at a duel school with a happy-go-lucky prodigy. But slowly, it unravels. The story matures. The tone darkens. And what starts as a fun school drama evolves into a harrowing journey through guilt, death, and existential dread. By the end, it's not even the same show - and that's what makes it powerful.

Thematic Brilliance

Jaden Yuki as the Hero

Jaden begins as the embodiment of talent and positivity. He wins with skill, humor, and heart. But the beauty of GX lies in how it systematically tears him down. Each season challenges not just his dueling abilities but his very sense of self. He experiences death, betrayal, regret, and isolation. By the end, he's a shadow of who he was - not broken, but reshaped by fire. GX doesn't give us a perfect hero. It gives us a real one.

The Coming-of-Age Arc That Grew With Its Audience

The Academy setting is deceptively playful. It feels like a school anime at first. But Duel Academy becomes a crucible. The innocence of early episodes is slowly stripped away. The characters begin to feel the weight of the real world - fate, consequences, sacrifice. Each year, the story gets darker, more intimate, and more philosophical. It mirrors the very experience of growing up: the shift from carefree youth to complex adulthood.

Standout Seasons and Arcs

Season 1 - The Spark

Introduces the world, the rules, and the players. Light in tone but brimming with hints that darkness is lurking. Jaden shines, but the pressure is building.

Season 2 - Society of Light

The illusion of safety collapses. Mind control, manipulation, and global stakes enter the game. The cheerful campus becomes a battleground for free will. This is where GX announces that it's not afraid to go deeper.

Season 3 - The Descent

Jaden is pushed into darkness. The Yubel arc is haunting - both emotionally and narratively. Time travel, alternate realities, and psychological breakdowns dominate. This season is where GX earns its place among the best.

Season 4 - The Reckoning

The final season, never officially dubbed, is a haunting epilogue. Jaden is stoic, distant, and weighed down by his choices. It's no longer about winning duels. It's about healing, understanding, and letting go. The final duel with Yugi is poetic: a farewell to innocence, a passing of the torch, and the closing of one of the most layered character arcs in the franchise.

Legacy

GX proved that a "kid's show" could deliver powerful stories without sacrificing identity. It gave us a protagonist who didn't just duel to win - he dueled to survive, to protect, and eventually, to find peace. It may not have had the same spotlight as Duel Monsters, but for those who truly watched it all the way through, GX is a masterpiece. It gave heart, soul, and scars - and made damn sure we grew with it.

It wasn't just a spinoff.

It was the awakening of a new kind of duelist.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a spin-off series that attempts to capture the success of its predecessor but falls drastically short in almost every aspect. This uninspired continuation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise lacks the charm, depth, and engaging storytelling that made the original series a fan favorite.

One of the major issues with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is its weak and poorly developed characters. The protagonist, Jaden Yuki, fails to leave a lasting impression and lacks the complexity and charisma of the original series' protagonist, Yugi Muto. The supporting cast is equally unmemorable, with generic personalities and lackluster character arcs. The absence of compelling and relatable characters hampers any emotional investment in the series.

The storytelling in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is lackluster and repetitive. The plot lacks the intricate and suspenseful elements that made the original series so engaging. The conflicts and duels in GX feel formulaic and predictable, lacking the strategic depth and clever twists that made the duels in the original series so exciting. The narrative lacks cohesion, often jumping from one plot point to another without proper development or explanation.

The animation quality in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a step down from its predecessor. The character designs lack detail and creativity, and the overall visual presentation feels uninspired. The duels, which should be the highlight of the series, often lack the visual flair and intensity that fans of the franchise have come to expect. The animation fails to capture the excitement and intensity of the card battles, leaving viewers underwhelmed.

Furthermore, the dialogue and writing in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX are filled with clichés and cringe-worthy moments. The attempts at humor often fall flat, relying on tired jokes and slapstick comedy that fail to elicit genuine laughter. The dialogue feels forced and lacks the wit and cleverness that made the original series so memorable. The writing does a disservice to the legacy of the franchise.

Another disappointing aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is the lack of compelling themes or messages. The original series tackled deeper themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the consequences of one's actions. In contrast, GX lacks any meaningful exploration of these themes, opting for a more superficial and shallow approach. This lack of depth and substance undermines the overall impact of the series.

In conclusion, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a disappointing and uninspired spin-off that fails to capture the magic of its predecessor. Weak characters, repetitive storytelling, lackluster animation, and subpar writing all contribute to an underwhelming viewing experience. The series lacks the depth, excitement, and engaging storytelling that made the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Series a classic. Fans of the franchise would be better off revisiting the original series rather than wasting their time on this lackluster spin-off.

Same duel every episode but different opponents. Jaden use same technique and draws the same cards every single time. No creatively from the writers, just a random opponent shows for no reason and at the end Yuki "open their eyes" about what dueling is all about and they live happy ever after. Full of filler episodes. Nothing like the original amine.

The Bad= Wow where to begin? I Guess I'll start with Season One and even is pretty tough to begin. I guess the First thing I'll address is for most of the First Season it's all Filler Episodes. And not only that but most of them just feels like an Episode of Scooby-Doo but with out the Laugh Track and with Yugioh GX Characters. And it wasn't until Episode 30 that they finally start to tell their first Arc of the Show, until then the only 'Arc' that they have been telling was Professor Crowler welling to go through any lengths to legally get the main Protagonist Jaden out of the Academy as he feels that Jaden is Unworthy of attending his school. Anyways by Episode 30 in the Original Yugioh DM Series they are already in the Homestretch with their First Arc of that show. In Fact by Episode 30 in the Original Yugioh DM Series the Mian Protagonist is already Doubting himself due to his Pervious Actions.

Anyways back to GX another thing that I Personally don't like about Season One is that the Arc for that Season just Feels way Too Short and Not Enough of it. And then as for the Two-Part Season One Finally Really Feels Way Underwhelming just like the Rest of the First Season to me. Anyways moving on to Season Two, Speaking Way Underwhelming I feel that that Not Only the Season it self is Way Underwhelming but also the Big Bad and The Arc of the Season itself just like the Frist Season. To start things off wow I found a lot of the Duals in this Season are really Not that Good. And as for the Arc there's nothing too Special about it as it really Reminds me of the Filler Arc 'Waking The Dragons' from the Original Yugioh DM Series. They even have a Card that works almost similar to the Seal Of Oricchalcos Card from the Original Yugioh DM Series. And as for the Big Bad of the Season I just don't find anything Threating or Special About Him. Aside from his Psychotic Look, and as for his Motive I just don't think it was all that member able or that special, as I feel it was done better in the Original Yugioh DM Anime with Joey in the First Season.

And Not Only that but also with Sartorius having a Split Personality it Really reminds me of Marik again only not as threatening. And Speaking of Bad Characters I found the character of Syrus Extremely Whinny and Annoying and at Most Times Pointless Unlike Joey from the Original Yugioh DM Series. And I feel that's one of the Biggest Draw backs to the GX Series as they have a lot and I mean a lot of terrible and to most degrees grinchy Character and character gimmick personalities. And I feel one of the biggest offender of that is the character of Chazz. As I feel he is so Full Of Himself, he always thinks he's better than everyone especially Jaden. And not only that but his Crush for the girl character Alexis is so deluded that he thinks he's her boyfriend and potentially future Husband. To the point where it almost border on the Creepy Stalker Level. To me he was an incredibly weak 'Rival' character for Jaden the main Protagonist for GX as he's basically a joke character. And as for threat and power level when it books to his Cards it's not that high in my book. And that brings to my final point it just feels like to me they just saved all of their Best Villains and Story Arcs and all of that for the Third Season. And Unless I'm Missing anything else that should do it for the Negatives for now.

The Good= On the flip side I do like the Third Season I think the Third Season is their Best Season. I also like how Jaden is able to incorporate his New Cards in to his Old Deck in away that Not Only Make Sense story wise but also it sort of mirrors real life to a certain extent. And it was really nice to see some Familiar Faces from the Original Yugioh DM Series. And I also like how this series is a clear Continuation of the Original Yugioh DM Series, unlike other Yugioh Spin Off's it is unclear if they take place in the same exact Original Yugioh DM Series Timeline and Universe. And I may have liked the Main Rivel for Jaden, but I do like the Secondary Rival for Jaden. Zane Not only he has a Strong Deck but also I feel he had one of the Best Stories in the Series. And speaking of great story arcs I really did enjoy Jaden's especially in the Third Season. And Unless I'm mossing anything else that should do it for now.
