Yu-gi-oh: Duel Monsters was one of the very first anime titles I got hooked on in high school and the trading card game that it promoted was also something that I was a casual player of during my time in college. Focused on teenager Yugi Moto possessing an Egyptian artifact called the Millennium Puzzle that lets an ancient spirit possess him to take on enemy threats in Duel Monsters games, I mainly was hooked on the series since it offered a more darker alternative to the more popular and light-hearted Pokemon franchise. Looking back on it now though, I have come to realize that Yu-gi-oh has many issues that plague it throughout its 224-episode run.
The most obvious issue that comes with the series is that it mostly exists as a promotion for said mentioned trading card game. Before I go i…

It's time to d-d-d-d—d-d-d-d-d-d-do a review! *checks that off the overdone memetic references list*
Every dubbing company has their golden goose: FUNimation has Dragon Ball Z. ADV Films had Evangelion. Animaze had Cowboy Bebop. 4KIDS had two: Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, although it was the latter that defined their dubs.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is most well-known for being about card games, although the series originally was just a dark shounen that used games in place of the typical shounen battles. Indeed, “Yu-Gi-Oh!” directly translates to “King of Games!”, and arguably it's kept that title, at least when it comes to game-related anime. The franchise as a whole had been in Japan for a few years before the second anime was brought over by 4KIDS, the first episode airing on Kids' WB just mere weeks after…

Like many others of my generation, I've been on a nostalgic Yugioh craze since learning about the new movie that was just released in April this year. While Yugioh will always hold a special place in my heart due to the impact it had on my childhood years, I have purposefully re-watched all 224 episodes of this show with a critical eye and sadly cannot bring myself to give it a higher score.
Unfortunately, Yugioh is a prime example of an amazing premise that suffers from poor execution.
(Also of note, my review will refer to the dub names/situations- although I am aware of the changes that 4kids made to the original sub...)
Warning, this WILL be a LONG REVIEW for a LONG anime
Story: (7)
It hurts me to give a score this low to an anime that could have easily deserved a 9 or 10 for i…

This was my favorite anime as a teenager, but now it isn't. The aspect of Yugioh that I loved were the characters like Seto Kaiba,Yami Marik,Spirit of the Ring/Thief King. The problem with this anime is that(other than Tea in season 1) they play and talk during a card game and but the story of basically every season is good. You could just skip to episode 199(The Egyptian Season) its the best arc of the series

Despite it being an anime about games, it has one of the most compelling stories, and some of the best character development I've ever seen in an anime. I mean seriously, watching the series again, and having a taste of what their lives where like before the series (Toei's version), I've found that each character has so much significance in the story, and every little detail, like the decks they use, reflect both their character's personality, and the overall arch of the story. And aside from saving the world from ancient magic and supernatural like that, The series invokes a quest for self-actualization, inspired by Yugi's wish for friends.
It's almost criminal that 4Kids dubbed this series, because they delivered such beautiful moments between characters so poorly that it ruins the emot…

I think the fact that YuGiOh (along with Pokemon) was the first anime I ever watched is enough to give this series a 10. That and the fact that this is one of the very few solid English dubs out there.
Great story, plot, ingenius card game (think about it, Kazuki pulled the entire YuGiOh ruleset out of his ass and it's incredible!), along with enjoyable dialogue make this series a 10/10. Honestly, if you've never seen YuGiOh and you're on MyAnimeList to decide if you should watch it, then go ahead and do it. You've been missing out.

I think I'm on the right season, but apologies if not. Another mini review by Waldy565 :D - just two more shows to review now, Pani Poni Dash and Gurren Lagann.
So, I went into this anime with expectations set low, after all, I'd grown up in a generation where you were a Pokemon fan, a Yu-Gi-Oh fan or a Digimon fan, and me and my friends were massive Pokemon fans. (And still are). I did have a friend however who was in to Yu-Gi-Oh, so I had dabbled in the game, but all the stats flew by me when I was a kid, I enjoyed the simplicity of Pokemon much more, and it took over, but I gave the anime the benefit of the doubt, and decided to take a look...Ugh...
The voice acting is what first hit me. It's not terrible... Well, OK, what I mean is it possibly tries to be cheesy, but in a funny way, a…

I finally got around to watching this series and I got to say I enjoyed it. sure there were times when your were pulling your hair because of a useless side plot but hey what anime doesn't have that. I loved the way the ancient Egyptian culture was shown. and I loved the character's, some of them were useless, like Taya did literally nothing the entire show. and Tristan was funny most of the time but he did pretty much nothing too. This is one of those rare shows where I would recommend the 4kids dub. Although some very noticeable editing is in place such as guys pointing their fingers at somebody ( clearly a gun was there before) and some other things. yugi and yami yugi is voiced by dan green and it is a perfect fit as well as eric stuart as seto kaiba ( and what a character he is) I alm…

Well here is a flashback to my childhood. When I was younger, I had the cards, played the card game, and tried to watch the show rather religiously. Now as I have gotten older, the first series to me is the best out of them all. It was simple during that time, no pendulum summons, no ‘playing on motorcycles’ and so on. I will try hard not to spoil anything but it is really hard not to when the whole show is based Tournament style.
To talk about the story, one must first remember I watch English dubs, so this will all be based on the English dub that I know has been changed around because of 4Kids… which means I am also looking at the second anime. Yes, there were two Anime (this surprised me as well when I was looking it up) There is an anime that was before the one we all know and love.…

I absolutely adore this anime. I remember being 8 years old and rushing home from school to watch my VHS Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes that my mother borrowed for me from the library. I got teased for being a girl and liking this show. Actually, I still do! :)
Story - A teenage boy named Yugi Mutou solves the Millennium Puzzle, which is an ancient Egyptian artifact. The puzzle is possessed by the spirit of an ancient pharaoh (Atem, Yu-Gi-Oh!, King of Games, etc.) The pharaoh remembers nothing of his past, besides the fact that he previously resided in Egypt. Yugi's grandfather owns a game shop, so he gets his deck of cards from him. The show is basically about a card game (or Duel Monsters). Yugi wants to help the spirit figure out the truth of his past, so he goes on a quest to find all 7 Millenniu…

I think most people / otaku would be lying if they said they have not enjoyed at least one mainstream Americanized anime show.
Yu-Gi-Oh! In my personal opinion was one of the better translations and it has obviously done pretty well with merchandise and stuff. As a side note the actual game duel monsters is actually very good and I have played a few of the older tag force PSP games.
At this point in time I have seen ALL of the original series and am on the last season of GX (which is also half decent but not better than the this).
Animation
The animation is pretty good, as most fanboys probably noticed 4kids did some heavy editing on Yu-Gi-Oh! as the original Japanese version includes guns, knives and even blood! Character designs can often stand out erratically, from Yugi’s hairstyle…

I actually started watching Yu-Gi-Oh! After having seen the GX edition to the series. The reason for this was actually, Yu-Gi-Oh! didn't air on tv here exept for GX.. But I loved it anyways and that made me check out this anime.
And I Must say I am rather pleased and glad I took my time to watch this.
What's mere fun turns into a nightmare in this classic Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime.
A Cardgame unidentical to any others..
Duel Monsters is the new cardgame created and probably the most popular one ever as there are held contests and tournaments about it.
Yugi Muto is just your average boy, Until one day he recieves a puzzle from his grandpa whom contained something noone would have expected.. The soul of the ancient egyptian pharaoh. But what's more, He can't seem to have any memories or recall anyt…

Yugioh is an anime about card games, that’s what most people see when they watch it. I’ve heard it called the best worst series ever. What people fail to see is the intense character development that happens over a course of 224 episodes. The series started out with no card games at all. The story is about a kid named Yugi who is shorter than average, insecure, geeky and picked on most of the time. For 8 years he works on a puzzle that his grandfather found in Egypt. Upon finishing it, He is possessed with an ancient spirit who at first appears to have evil intentions. A main key to this story is that this spirit, “yugi’s other self” (yami in English) has no memory of his name or where he came from. Through these battles Yugi matures and becomes a strong, dependant person, gains friends an…

First off this was one of the first animes i ever watched.Back then i didn't even know what anime was but it didn't matter to me the only thing i cared about was how it looked and how people at school were playing the card game.So the reasons for liking this anime is because the characters are well developed throughout the show and you get to see different views of the characters and i mean EVERY character for example Yugi (Yami or Atem) is the heroine of the story but we really don't know about his past until later on...
Anyway you eventually figure out how his mind (soul) got trapped inside the puzzle and how darker secrets are revealed...Anyway people should watch the Japanese version of this anime because there's alot of content that 4kids took out to show to a younger audience and ev…

It was a good show. Yu-Gi-Oh was one of the anime I used to grow up watching anime like Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Beyblade and Dragonball Z.
What made this anime most exciting was the Trading Card Game they played, which was huge at the time with kids who were my age. The characters had great personalities and they were one of a kind in their own part of the plot. Seto Kaiba was a great rival for Yugi (I don't think they could have made anyone better) and the best bad guy of the entire series was YamiMarik from seasons 2 and 3.
The best episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh were the Battle City finals and the Virtual World in Season 3 Enter The Shadow Realm. Although the duels were good the only thing that would turn you down about them was the fact that they were long and repetitive.
Still nothing is perfect and…

I have one thing to say for anybody who has watched the show in English, or who hasn't watched the show at all: please, please, please, please watch the Japanese version.
The differences are astronomical. When I first starting watching Yugioh as a kid, I loved the American version - as I got more into my teenage years and more and more into anime, I started to watch the show in Japanese. That's when I truly fell in love with it!
I love the complexities in the characters and the niches in their relationship. While the story is really very good, it's the characters that make the show outstanding.

When I first heard of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", I wasn't that interested about it, but when I finally a few episodes, I wanted to know what happened next. Sooner or later, I became a fan.
The characters are very driven in their strengths and abilities and it doesn't center around the card game all the time. It centers around the themes of fate vs. destiny and mysteries of one's past. I found most of them quite intriguing and enjoyable to hear and watch.
The antagonists are the most interesting since they have their own motives and agendas, so it's a mystery to what their true objective is. The voice actors are amazing and have a lot of talent. I've watched both the English and Japanese versions and have enjoyed both. So, if you want a anime with characters and action, I'd recommend Yu-Gi-Oh!

Not another card driven game! That is what I thought going into this. I had just gotten over my Pokemon and Digimon phase. So upon seeing this I quirked an eyebrow. However I gave it a whirl and watched it, and by god I actually enjoyed it. The characters are so much more dynamic than most of these genre of shows. There is a plot behind all the games (read the manga for more). The most interesting twist to me was the Egyptian background. That intrigued me to no end to see how exactly that would play out. Surprisingly to me it played out nicely, tying the characters together from their pasts to the here and now.
There are a few arcs that also stand out above the rest. The first being the Battle City arc, where we first meet Malik Ishtar who is a young Egpytian boy. The Doma (Doom in the d…

Now, when I say ‘Yu-Gi-Oh’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the opening – with Yugi saying ‘It’s time to Duel’ and the D in Duel just echoes off into infinity… After all, silly little card games is all the show’s about right?
Ha ha…
WRONG.
Sixteen year-old Yugi Mutou (I’ll use their Japanese names if you don’t mind) inherits a golden box from his grandfather, inside are pieces that form a puzzle.
After eight years of struggle and determination, Yugi finally finishes this puzzle, but unknown to him are the deep secrets locked within it. Including a 3000 year old spirit, who looks just like him, may I add!
With the help of his friends – and sometimes even his bitter rivals, Yugi and his spirit friend, who he at the beginning dubs ‘The Other Me’, (Mou Hitori no Boku) go o…
