Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

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'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.

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!

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!!!!!!!!!
