Bear with me on this first, okay? I think Yugiô, or Yu-Gi-Oh, is great. It's fun to watch. The story can be engaging at times, and even the voices of the dub can be enjoyable from time to time as well...

...but then in comes snake in the grass 4Kids. It thwarts the nature and goals of the series' baddies and censures countless scenes out of the original version. It is true that you can expect nothing less from a broadcast for kids, but these guys have taken the renewal of this series to unpleasant heights. Where in Japan you saw once-up antagonists get drunk in a bar, enticing clothing, semi-revealed body parts, several cases of nudity, wicked tongue action from... you know who if you are a fan, and some mild harsh language, 4Kids removes scenes, dresses the 'Black Magician Girl' up in a dumb pair of pink trunks, digitally embellishes the 'horrors of combat', dumbs down some dialogue, digitally removes some female characters' cleavages and simply makes the entire experience of watching this a lot more bland.

I dare any of you to watch the very first dubbed episode, and then watch a dubbed episode from season two and three and you see how 4Kids struggled with this show. Where they started out using phrases like 'super awesome rare' and with a character representation about as shallow as those in Toddler oriented Nick Toons, they 'got their game on' in order to show a slightly more grown up struggle along the way. It is commendable that 4Kids have kept it from becoming a total farce, but that brings one to the real problem.

It is sometimes hard to confide in a series like Yu-gi-oh, because almost every single conflict from beginning to end plays out in a children's card game. Subliminal messages throughout the series, or at least the dub, entitle the gamer's philosophy, that is to say the 'Heart of the Cards'. Of course, if they were just playing a friendly game all the time, this premise and the continuous and sometimes absolutely nauseating friendship skits would all be meaningless. But then, after having wagered one's soul over a dozen time in perilous 'shadow games', these guys do need a philosophy to survive the onslaught of all these card games.

Many people already start to get me wrong here. I like this show, even the dub, but where it really sets off is in the last two seasons, where characters really start developing, and the world really starts turning. Where the still ever-present pep talks and friendship speeches blot out the ever-mounting stakes in the dub, the original version can be very touching at times, and some duels in this late stage of the show do seem very meaningful (My favorites: Both duels between Mou hitori no (Yami) Yugi vs. Raferu (Raphael)). And that is why I think it has the potential to be this good; because while being fully aware that good guy and bad guy are resolving their disputes by playing a children's card game, one can forget that they are actually playing a children's card game at times.

Of course, the card games are just the means to every end and the story does not necessarily revolve around the duels per se. The storyline of the ancient Pharaoh sealing himself and his memory away in order to stop (at first rather generic) evil, as well as some of the Egyptian themes within the series are quite engaging and interesting, although it must be admitted that after all the time that this mystery remains sealed (the first four seasons, in fact), its resolution can be really underwhelming. Also undeniable; the fourth season, where the cast takes on an ancient free mason like organization called Damu (Doom in the dub, I think) is one of the, if not the best and most introspective story arcs. It is a shame that it destroys the pace, and is the main reason why the conclusion is slightly underwhelming and detached.

Do yourself a favor. If you go and watch this series, watch the Japanese version. The dub is okay (I give it a 5 thumbs up out of 10), but the Japanese version is great (9 kawaiis out of 10). Plus, the Japanese soundtrack is much more better.

I don't know why so many people doesn't like this show, it's got everything you can wish from a good cartoon show. The excitement, humor and the fight against good and evil. And when they are taking most of the story from agent Egypt It's get more and more exited.

I had never enjoyed a Manga series this much, except from Sailor Moon. But this series is the best when it comes down from it's category. But it's too bad that the cards you can buy from the series is to expensive, but that doesn't stop me. I got almost a hundred, and more is going to be.

Yu-Gi-Oh is the best cartoon show I had ever seen and the movie is so god that I can watch it over and over again. THIS IS ABSOLUTE GREAT!!!

When my brother started watching this show and I heard bits of it in the background I thought it sounded like the stupidest thing ever--I heard bits of dialogue along the lines of "Oh, yeah! Well I attack with my dark magician!" or "Now I shall harness the power of all millennium items and rule the world!" or "Ha ha, with the power of our friendship we will defeat you!" However, after I had been forced to actually watch several episodes and began to actually follow the plot and character development, I discovered to my surprise that this show, while it is basically just a marketing ploy to sell trading cards, is actually a complex and fascinating story with well-developed and multi-dimensional characters and relationships.

Now, granted, you have to have certain tolerances to enjoy this show: you have to accept the world in which the characters live, in which for some reason everything seems to ride on this certain card game, Duel Monsters, and in which there exist ancient items with various spirits trapped inside them. If you're inclined to dismiss the premises of the plot as stupid, then this show is not for you. Secondly, you have to tolerate the fact that much of the show consists of duels, in which the characters themselves compete in the card game that the show is designed to market. It helps if you're a 6 to 12-year-old boy (or anyone else, I suppose) and are actually into playing the card game yourself. Or, like me, you can simply realize that the game actually is quite interesting and complex, and in the show is used to advance the plot and character development, and just accept it. Finally, you have to tolerate a certain amount of sappiness--the main characters do often take the time to go on and on about the importance of friendship and courage and standing up for yourself, etc etc...however, I personally find this somewhat refreshing after watching my brother play countless video games where the main message seemed to be Kill Anything in Your Path if It Will Give You Energy Points or some such advantage. And the character relationships are complex enough that these speeches, when they occur, are actually meaningful and sometimes (at least to me!) quite touching.

The point is, don't dismiss this show. The animation is crisp and nuanced (except for occasionally when they decide for some reason to switch to exaggerated, cartoon-like animation, particularly with Joey--those moments are probably my least favorite aspect of the show!), and the characters are real, touching, and very entertaining. Suspend your cynicism and just let yourself enjoy the show--it's actually quite worth it!!

The year was 1999. The 90s were making their final rounds in television, spewing out franchise after franchise to weather the storm of the 2000s. But out of all the shows created in these times, only two have withstood the test of time: Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh.

But why was Yu-Gi-Oh so successful? I mean, it was just a card game, right? There were plenty of other franchises that existed to sell toys: Transformers, G.I. Joe, Pokemon, Star Wars (you know, the prequels), etc. So what made Yu-Gi-Oh any different? Because, dear friend, while other shows' merchandise remained simple merchandise, Yu-Gi-Oh took a Japanese card game and turned it into A BATTLE OF GOD-LIKE ENTITIES, HERE TO RECLAIM THE WORLD THEY RULED SO LONG AGO.

Seriously, if you knew the card game, then you knew NOTHING about the show. It managed to tie this simple game to Egyptian rituals, malevolent spirits, dark magic, action, peril, souls being bound to items of immeasurable power... Does this bone-chilling stuff sound ANYTHING like a children's card game to you?

That's not to say that the show is dark; most of the time it's quite upbeat and focuses on the card game. But when the dark powers appear before us, you can FEEL the grandiose nature of their presence OOZING out of the screen. You can feel the fact that there are greater forces at work at all times; always lurking in the shadows, always calculating their next move, and the only ones that stand between us and their demented plans are Yugi Moto and company.

Now, I know a lot of people like to complain about how 4Kids took out a lot of the violence, the nudity, the use of guns in certain scenes, and... Honestly, I'm glad they did. This show doesn't NEED violence; it doesn't need a lot of the more adult content that the Japanese include in their kids shows. By taking a lot of those elements out, they made the show more about what it SHOULD focus on: the mysticism and the card game. Putting in guns, violence and other "questionable" content only serves to bring the show closer to reality, the exact opposite of magic. Yes, the first few episodes are pretty dumbed down and the first arc holds little basis in the actual rules of the game. But once it got past that stage, it turned into a really fun, really enjoyable experience, with the exception of some painfully obvious censorship here and there.

So if you love magic, mystery, secrets, dark realms of evil power, and 2D animation that still holds up today, check out this incredible show. It is AWESOME, man!

Long before Little Kurbioh started making his videos I watched the original series of Yugioh and it's spin off Yugioh Gx. Even though I'm fully aware that it's just an excuse to sell cards of a trading card game I actually think the series has a lot of charm to it. The villains are all either scary or just plain funny, the duels can sometimes be exciting, and Yugioh is the only show I can think of that actually has great filler. In fact some of my favorite seasons of the show (The Noah Virtual World saga and the Waking the Dragons arc) While the dub by 4kids is littered with horrible voice acting, lame jokes, and plenty of cringe worthy moments the original Japanese sub had amazing opening and closing credits and adds a lot of substance to the story.

After a lot I finally watched it all. First of all, watch the original not censored version, since half of it was cut. Second of all, Duke and Serenity are some of the most dull and bland characters ever, you even forget they exist after a while.

People who played the Nightmare troubadour game will love this anime, since it follows exactly the same story. In my opinion this is the best yu gi oh when it comes to timeless monsters and characters designs. (I do recommend to watch half of Yu gi oh season 0 if anyone wants to actually see how yugi and friends met)

Ep: 1-49 The characters are well presented. There's the most iconic ones: yugi,tea,joey,seto,mokuba,bakura,marik,ishizu,pegasus,mai. This arc is one of the worst ones, rules do not exist and some cards don't either so I wouldn't take it seriously at all. 5/10

Ep: 50-97 This is definitely the best arc. The duels start to have actual rules and 4000lp but some cards are still too op unlike real cards, like joey dice cards. The story begins, rare hunters, Egyptian gods, and the millennium items appear. 9/10

Ep: 98-121 The submarine arc is pretty good since it explains kaiba real story. Doesn't contribute to the story but I would watch it. 8/10

Ep: 122-144 The previous story continues. 9/10

Ep: 145-184 This is the most boring arc of the series. I never cared for Atlantic theme and another forgettable enemie. The Egyptian gods disappear until the end which is lame. I would just skip this. 4/10

Ep: 185-198 Just a tournament, it's an ok arc. 6/10

Ep: 199-224 This is definitely the 2nd best arc. The actual Evil of the anime finally reappears (I thought they forgot about him) and it's not Marik. It explains the actual past of the pharaoh and the origin of his enemie, the 7 millennium items that are never taken in consideration until now and how thanks to them duel monsters was born, the origin of Seto's past and his dragon, dark magician and dark magician girl who were actually reincarnations of important figures in the characters lives. 8/10.

Unrealistic gameplay and nothing like their card games. Simple plotting but terrible execution - the flow was awful. Ridiculous scenes and sudden changes on characterisation, poor motives on certain characters. Same formula used as in all of the duel - the power of writing to make it convenient for the main characters to get the card they expected right on time lol. Awful voice casting especially pegasus sounds like a white washed robot. Just overexaggerated performances/execution overall.

P. S. Yugioh have changed a lot drastically over the past. It is much more competitive and relevant compared this terrible adaption.

Probably the cheesiet anime that i ever revisited. Used to watch it like a lot on tv when i was kid. Even the remastered version cant safe this season. The intro commentary was very memorable and both the intro & outro song was very nostalgic for me. Some unnecessary characters and unnecessary dramas. The characters design were considerably okay since it was an old & classic anime (Big eyes and big head was pretty common back in those days lol).

Now that i rewatched it i dont think that i will ever watch it again in future & definitely not something the newer generation would watch this. This doesnt age well.

So after the horrible season 0 we finally get to the real yu-gi-oh anime then Unlike season 0 this is animated well enough that I liked this anime but I already know that it was made on purpose for advertising of the cards because it wasn't the same as it issuccess with Pokémon Digimon Beyblade I say that the duels are beautiful Yugi Muto is a very well made character the problem is that he really does very little In this anime because all the duels are always done by the pharaohs however there are three things that I don't understand they make this much more enjoyableseries first I don't like the argument between Joey and Cristian for me these things are really unbearable when they always argue second I don't like Seto Kaiba because I don't like his character and throughout the series he never believes in everything what happens And this makes mereally very angry in the way he behaves for me he was the worst character in this series and I always respect someone if you like him third the only Saga that I didn't like was the one that organized Seto Kaiba or to open the his amusement park the crowdduardo deall useless that doesn't really serve anything to the anime but above all I didn't like the villain of this Saga or Sigfricon or the usual ambiguous character or those male characters who look like females but above all who talks about that annoying German accent for me it was theworst villain of the anime and then the bad thing about that Saga that they never show cards of the Challengers didn't even show the only ones they show are the important people of this Saga but there are only six And if someone likes the cards Give a 'look at this anime to concludevote 7.

Yu-Gi-Oh!, the long-running anime series, is a confusing and repetitive show that fails to deliver a compelling viewing experience. With its convoluted plotlines, repetitive structure, and shallow character development, this series struggles to captivate audiences beyond its dedicated fanbase.

One of the major issues with Yu-Gi-Oh! Is its overly convoluted and confusing plotlines. The narrative is filled with intricate card game rules, complex story arcs, and an abundance of characters, making it difficult for newcomers to follow and understand. The constant introduction of new card mechanics and convoluted strategies often overwhelms the viewer, resulting in a disjointed and hard-to-follow storyline. The lack of clarity and coherent storytelling hinders the show's ability to engage and immerse the audience.

Furthermore, Yu-Gi-Oh! Falls into the trap of repetitive storytelling. Most episodes follow a formulaic structure, with the protagonist engaging in card battles and relying on predictable strategies to secure victory. The repetitive nature of the series leads to a sense of predictability and monotony, diminishing the excitement and tension that card duels should evoke. The lack of variety in the storytelling prevents the series from evolving and exploring new narrative possibilities, making each episode feel like a rehash of the previous ones.

The character development in Yu-Gi-Oh! Is shallow and lacks nuance. The protagonists and their opponents are often one-dimensional and defined solely by their card dueling skills. The supporting cast is relegated to background roles and rarely receive meaningful development or exploration. The lack of well-rounded and relatable characters hampers the viewer's ability to emotionally invest in their journeys, resulting in a lack of empathy or connection.

Another significant drawback of Yu-Gi-Oh! Is its heavy reliance on product placement and merchandising. The series often feels like a vehicle for selling trading card games and related merchandise rather than a compelling storytelling experience. The constant emphasis on acquiring new cards and showcasing their features detracts from the overall narrative and creates a sense of commercialization that feels off-putting.

The animation and visual quality of Yu-Gi-Oh! Vary throughout the series. While there are some visually impressive moments during card battles, the overall animation can be inconsistent and lacks the fluidity and detail found in other contemporary anime. The art style, while distinctive, may not appeal to everyone, and the character designs can feel dated compared to more modern anime offerings.

In conclusion, Yu-Gi-Oh! Is an overwhelmingly confusing and repetitive anime series that struggles to engage a broader audience. The convoluted plotlines, repetitive structure, shallow character development, and heavy commercialization hinder the series' ability to provide a compelling and immersive viewing experience. While it may still hold nostalgic value for long-time fans, newcomers seeking a more coherent and sophisticated storytelling experience would be better off exploring other anime options that offer more depth and narrative coherence.

OK, I'll admit it...I am a sucker for the "30 min. commercials". I have been ever since I was a kid back in the, uh, 80's. I would go out and buy all the brand-new cool Transformers featured in the cartoon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?...I was there. I am every toy manufacturers' ... dream. Yu-Gi-Oh is the continuation of my bizarre fascination with cartoons.

What's so great about this cartoon. Honestly, I can't say what it is I like. OK, I lied. I absolutely love the duels! I'm not a huge Anime fan, so that really does nothing for me. The constant babbling about "friendship" and "love" I can certainly do without. Not that those are bad things, and it's good that kids are taught these values while being brainwashed into buying the game, but it can be *awfully* sugary-sweet, especially when you're, um, <mumble> twenty-eight </mumble>. But I really enjoy the duels and it makes me want to go out and buy the cards and play with other people. Unfortunately, I have no friends, and my wife doesn't have any interest in dueling me. Fortunately, there's Game Boy Advance. I was given Dark Duel Stories for Christmas and recently bought Eternal Duelist Soul...both great games, though EDS is definitely closer to the original game than DDS. The point being, this tv show is really nothing more than an avenue for advertising their games...and I love it!

Now, what I'd like to see is how well Yugi fairs against someone who has some really nasty cards in their deck....how would he handle having Raigeki and Dark Hole being smacked down on his Dark Magician and Summoned Skull????

If you Get Pokemon and Magic the Gathering and Combine them you Get Yu-Gi-Oh!

I know, right? Yu-Gi-Oh! is still one of the best Animes ever made, Yu-Gi-Oh! hypnotized an entire generation with its stylized animation, surreal humor, and dramatic turns.

But I don't know why so many people doesn't like this show

Yu-Gi-Oh was One of My Favorite Animé series Next to Pokemon and Digimon

I used to watch "Yu Gi Oh" for the 1st time when I was 11 or 12

it's a good show but not bad as Dinosaur King, Duel Masters (a Copy of Yu- Gi-Oh) and Battle B-Daman But it was awesome it has manga books, cards, video games, videos, DVDs and Movies

The Animation was great and the Voice Acting was Awesome

My Favorite Characters from this Series are Yugi and Kaiba

Season 1 is where the yu gi oh story begins It has a Few Memorable Duels

Season 2 Was Great But Not the best of the series but Joey was a bit annoying but Marik was a Pretty Cool Villain and the Egyptian God Cards was Awesome not even ash could face those Egyptian God monsters

Season 3 was part 2 of the Battle City Arc The VR World story arc was not that bad using any monster card as a deck master was not that bad but Noah was a little bit annoying than Mai a lot of People really Hated the Virual World Arc but i think its Okay but the Abridged Version of the Virtual World Arc was a Little Offensive as the Abriged version of the Battle City Arc

The Final Face-off Parts 1,2,3,4&5 is Epic the Waking the Dragons arc was good The Legendary Dragons are Awesome and Dartz was a Great and Solid Villain (Still better than Team Rocket from Pokemon and Super Buu from DBZ) and Dartz's Motercycle Henchmen are Awesome and the worst part about season 4 was Mai she was very annoying since season 2 i hate it when Mai calls joey names Season 5 was the Final Season of the Original Yu Gi Oh But I never Watched the 5th Season of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Only Season 5 Episodes i've Watched are the Last 4 Episodes the Final Episode was Great but the yu-gi-oh duels are pretty long because it takes 6 Episodes or 5 episodes or 4 episodes or 3 episodes like the dragon ball z battles The Sound Effects from American Cartoons are A Bit Useless and it's a Bit Like Watching an Episode Of Pokemon or Watching an Episode of the Funimation Version of Dragon Ball Z The Dialogues from the 4Kids dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! are a Bit Corny at Times (Well like Most 4Kids Dubbed Animes)

but Saddly when they made the gx series and the 5ds series and the Zexal series, It would just never be the same. GX is not the best series yet No Yamis, No Marik (Make way for Pegasus and the paradox brothers), Alexis was one of the most annoying female characters ever (even worse than Mai), No Bakura, No Musics from the Original (the Rock Musics from GX is the Only Plus point in this spin off) They Got Rid of Yugi and Kaiba and Joey and the other yu gi oh characters from the original yu gi oh in 5ds But i never watch 5ds because Card Games on Motorbikes is a Stupid Idea how come 5ds has the highest rating than the original?

I heard that A Few People Really Hate Zexal As for Arc-V, I Never Watched Them Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie was not Bad but it's a Must See for any Yu Gi Oh Fans The Duels Are Epic, the animation was great and the All-New Blue Eyes Shining Dragon was awesome!!!! and I'm a bit shocked at the negative reviews and the low ratings for this movie Well Still Better than Son of the Mask Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series and the rest of littlekuriboh's videos are so Funny Martin Billany aka LittleKuriboh has a fantastic voice talent, great editing, and he perfectly represents the characters with hilarious lines and Pop-Cultral references. But if you like this show or not, you will love Martin Billany's successful Parody i wish littlekuriboh will win the awards Bottom Line i Really Enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh But it has a Few Flaws But its Still Awesome And Its Way Better than Phineas and Ferb, way better than Dinosaur King and Way Better than Duel Masters I Have the Cards and the DVDs and the Toys and the video games

I only liked the original Yu-Gi-Oh, but none of the Yu-Gi-Oh spin offs/sequels such as GX and 5Ds and Zexal. I found the following Yu-Gi-Oh spin offs/sequels to be Stupid Because it won't be the same as the original. I give the Original Yu-Gi-Oh 9/10 stars and all of the following Yu-Gi-Oh spin offs/sequels such as GX and 5Ds and Zexal 2/10 stars. Sorry GX fans and 5Ds fans the Original Yu-Gi-Oh is the best of the Yu-Gi-Oh Series

Jakie's Uncle: One More Thing To all Yu-Gi-Oh! Haters out There Don't Call Yu-Gi-Oh! a Pokemon Copy nor a Commercial

After Digimon and Pokemon I was wondering what other anime would come into American culture. Then there was Yu-Gi-Oh. There's a lot of interesting things in there, including battles between good and evil, Ancient Egypt, creatures that would make Ray Harryhausen proud (some of which can be a little disturbing), and a good cast of characters (some of whom you can relate to in real life). I know some online people who love this show and while I'm not a big, huge fan, I thought it was entertaining. I never collected the cards (I'm not big on card games, though I did collect some of the Decipher Star Wars CCG line) and I'd never even heard of Yu-Gi-Oh until I watched the show in the early 2000s. I haven't seen so much creature action since the Harryhausen films, or should I say Digimon and Pokemon?

I was in middle school when Yu-Gi-Oh first appeared on US TV and unfortunately only watched about 3/4 of Battle City tournament (not due to lack of interest but because of strict parents). Well, 15 years later and in my late 20's, I just randomly thought about this anime and decided to finish watching it, mainly out of curiosity on how it all ends for Yugi and his friends. To my surprise, I enjoyed watching it more so as an adult than when I was a preteen. I watched the 4Kids version due to nostalgia and familiarity but despite all the backlash and criticism it appears to receive from viewers who prefer the Japanese original, I still think the dub is satisfactory, esp. the last few episodes when...um...anyway, I became so attached to the characters I didn't want it to end :( Most of all, I love the card game and cannot stop playing Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links on my smartphone!

First of all the whole Yugioh Story is Epic, however I later realised after watching the German and English Version, that it's not the whole Story. The Japanese Version of Yugioh is more brutal, dark and dramatic in its whole concept. Characters and cards are different of course and most important some dialogues are total different.

For me a good storyline is important but most importantly is the Music, although the western Version has also beautifully composed Music, the Japanese is more touching and even romantic at times.

In usual anime's are in japanese and they are best suited to watch in subs, rather dubbed..

(r#97)

There is one good thing about this poor man's Pokémon (make of that what you will): the opening theme. It has to be the coolest theme music of any sloppily dubbed Japanese made-for-the-consumers-oops-I-mean-the-young-fans anime TV show. Unfortunately there was need to add some sort of show after the opening theme. And they just couldn't come up with something more interesting than people arguing loudly about whose cards are better than the others' cards. Freud would have a field day, unfortunately I can't imagine why any kids would want to sit through a show where dialogue written by a thousand monkeys in five minutes takes up 98% of the running time.

"My Uber-Fantastical Doomsday Creature of Ultimate Doom will take your measly Pyramid Diamond Animal in a single strike! Can't you see that you have no chance of winning this battle, you fool?! HAHAHAHHAHHAHA!"

"Oh yeah? Well watch this! I am about to use my Destruction Force Delta Times Pie Card which eradicates every single one of your Power Munchers and renders your Uber-Fantastical Doomsday Creature of Ultimate Doom's Destroy Beyond all Significance Attack useless! I bet you didn't see that one coming!"

Seriously, that's all they ever do in this show, talk. Whereas in another crappy kids' show I used to watch, namely the commercial phenomenon Pokémon (every soccer mum's pet peeve), at least the monsters had the courtesy to duke it out every once in a while, "Yu-Gi-Oh" is just, in the quiet words of Roger Ebert's A Clockwork Orange review, "plain talky and boring". Not to mention long-winded (I realize I'm being hypocritical here considering the sentence I just wrote).

This show goes on forever. I don't know if there's any plot, and the static monsters have none of the character of Pokémon. Even when not compared to my fave cartoon as a kid, this show sucks. It's unintentionally funny, but not funny enough to be worth seeing. Bye bye, sleep tight, dream wet dreams.

Yu-Gi-Oh! can be confusing to those with slower mind-speeds. The duels like all plot devises, are used to progress the plot and even develop the characters, and in an effort to do so, may annoy, frustrate, or even confuse some members of the audience unfamiliar with the game strategy and cards(effects). However, the these duels are essentially not difficult to follow.

The overall plot of the series is complex and very entertaining. Of the main characters, and aside from Yami Yugi, the villains are often the most compelling. The most interesting, and charismatic of these "villainous" characters being Seto Kaiba(thanks to the paragon voice-work of Eric Stuart), with Ryu Bakura, Maximillion Pegasus, and Marik Ishtar following close behind.

This series, unlike many others, requires the audience to possess functioning memories in order to recall the mythology. The plot is intriguing for those who enjoy mysteries and suspense(although watching YU-GI-OH! one need never fear the hero will be anything other than victorious).

Yu-Gi-Oh! is an excellent choice for children in order to instill morals and values; most importantly honor, courage, loyalty, and confidence in oneself.

Grade: A

I cried during the final episode of this series, it really touched me to think that it was all over.

a few people i used to know made fun of me for liking this series, well they never bothered watching did they or even picking up a copy of the manga.

I must admit i'm seriously disappointed with what 4kids turned this show into, it's just another shining example that they should leave animes undubbed and subtitled, i know Japanese voices can seem to some to be irritating but they have more emphasis and no one makes them say stupid phrases like they do in the English versions, it dumbs down the whole experience.

This show clearly had a lot of censorship and missing episodes (For starters, this series seems to be a sequel, hence why we never have a proper introduction of the main cast) Despite that, I enjoyed watched this. It is a fun series, and the card game is fun too.

I am not familiar with the sequels, but the "original" Yugioh anime (Well, the second one actually) was a highly entertaining series.

The dub shown in my country actually had a great cast with excellent voices. (Tristan was voiced by the same actor that dubbed Fry from Futurama!) I guess that factor might have contributed to my enjoyment.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!" is about a boy named Yugi, who gets the mysterious millennium puzzle as a present from his grandfather. In this is the soul of the pharaoh Yami Yugi, into which Yugi turns from now on when he plays the card game "Duel Monsters". Yugi and his friends Joey, Tea and Tristan have to go through many adventures throughout the series in which Yugi faces off against the forces of evil.

Probably due in large part to nostalgia, but I love Yu-Gi-Oh!

The thrill of when Yugi is about to lose a match and somehow still manages to defeat his opponent is still the same today as it was then.

Sadly the franchise was rode to death for the profit, after this series.
