When Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX began airing, I thought that it was going to follow in the footsteps of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. That was not the case. However, I feel that Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's brings back what everyone loved about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, and a few extra things along with it.
Story:
The story of this series is far more fast-paced and exciting that either of it's two predecessors. If even one episode is missed, it feels as though you've missed a lot. Almost every, if not, every episode ends with a cliffhanger. The plot is amazing. It still has the ancient-themed story, just like the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, but it intertwines with the present-day atmosphere of Neo Domino City. The story is no longer Duel Monsters-centered as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX was. The name "Duel Monsters" is barely even mentioned. The story and dealings of the characters are once again the main point of the anime. Duels are like gun combat or swordfights are in other anime series. It is merely a way of combat in the series. The story is one of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's greatest assets.
Animation:
The art in this show is amazing. Every character has their own look and style reflecting their personality. The D-Wheels (called Duel Runners in the dub) are always something to look forward to seeing. There is also a lot of CG animation, especially when it comes to Riding Duels (called Turbo Duels in the dub) and monsters, especially Stardust and Red Demon's dragons.
Sound:
The music in this series fits it so nicely. The music sets up the atmosphere for every scene so accurately. The opening and ending themes are among my favorite songs. The noises for the D-Wheels does not sound like a conventional motorbike, or a motorbike at all. All the D-Wheel sounds are completely brand new and sound nothing like real motorcycles. Even Security sirens sound nothing like their real-world counterparts.
Character:
The characters in this series are phenomenal. Yusei is completely different from both Yugi and Judai. His life is not like theirs as he grew-up in the ghetto known as Satellite in poverty along with his friends. Jack is like Seto Kaiba in terms of personality and pride. However, he is not as cold-hearted as Kaiba as he quickly has a change of heart towards Yusei and his friends. The supporting characters are not annoying at all and viewers will quickly warm-up to them. All the characters are well developed.
Enjoyment:
This show is far more enjoyable than it's two predecessors. As I said before, every episode ends on a cliffhanger. The plot is great and intriguing. There are many things to look forward to every episode.
Overall:
This is the best Yu-Gi-Oh! series yet, and one of the best television series I have ever seen. Everything about it is so great. If it wasn't evident in it's two predecessors, then it sure is in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's that the Yu-Gi-Oh! series is not meant for children like it's American dub. The plot is so much darker and the characters are rarely happy, unless they are about to cause pain to their adversaries. Mr. Takahashi makes his target audience, teens and young adults, clear in this series. It is this tone that makes this show great. I'm sure that it will only get better as the plot expands. This is definately a must-watch series. read more

It's that time again...when one Yugioh series comes to and end and we get a fresh start with new characters. Comparing to it's past series, 5D's definitely takes on a more mature feeling. Not just because the characters are older and more serious, but not everything is a ray of sunshine for our protagonist this time around if you catch my drift. ;)
Story - Well, the story was a bit different. It is set many years into the future so we can't expect any recurring appearances from any GX or DM characters. Obviously we still have our share of duels, but this time they duel on bikes. Yes, it is quite shocking at first with the new rules set in place, but they aren't particularly that bad once you get used to them.
We still have this obsession with Dragons in the Yugioh franchise for some odd reason, this time being the "Crimson Dragon". You've got your general bad guy who plans on using some ancient power by using special people known as "Signers". Weird, eh? It takes a little while for the plot to begin, but we do get to see some background on our main character, Yusei, and his relationship with our so-called "Kaiba" of this Yugioh series, Jack Atlas, in the meantime. Like I said, it takes on a more mature plot (but I wonder how the dub will ruin it XD).
Sound - The sound isn't that bad. The sound of a bike motor revving can get annoying, but I guess that's something you'll have to get used to when watching 5Ds. The OP and ED themes aren't that bad. (from the original's POV...not the dub's crappy kiddy music)
Art/Animation - Pretty cool this time around. Not a lot to say on it. The artwork of each person's bike is something to look forward to I suppose.
Enjoyment - Well, it's hard to like a show that has been generally changed after being used to the same format for at least 4 years. The new rules for dueling were hard to accept, but I'll be honest, after you understand them you will think that they aren't so bad. Sure, you might miss the original dueling ways (like me :P), but at least they give us normal duels once and awhile. I think the overall basis as to why I wasn't accepting of it in the beginning was because I did not like any of the characters. I'm glad that after 16+ episodes, I finally have a favorite character who I can look forward to seeing in future episodes to come. (hopefully XD)
Overall, 5Ds isn't that bad after adjusting to it. Just get ready for a bunch of bikes, new rules, and an interesting bunch of characters. read more

Both used/play cards and summon out monster with intense battles between the opponent. But this anime is the newest version of Yugioh dueling cards
Both are (inferior) sequels of the original first series, and have new characters who don't appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.
You'll find the usual cards battles, but presented in a new and even more technological way. 5D's especially is more futuristic and set in Neo Domino City.

R2 and 5D's are very similar in tone: they place priority on entertainment and wild aesthetics. Simultaneously both darker and odder than the previous installments of the franchises, the two shows present a wide variety of characters and are always trying to outdo themselves: every episode must be more flashy, more extreme, just plain MORE than the last one. They're fun to watch just to see what kinds of crazy stunts the characters will perform or what kind of didn't-see-that-coming plot twists will happen next. Recommended to those who just want to sit down and be taken on a colorful, crazy ride.
