Yu-gi-oh! Duel Monsters is a commonly known anime from many, mostly for its dubbed works and its airing on Saturday.
So I have decided to give both the subtitles/Japanese and dub a try.
Overall the story is alright, you have the main Yugi and his "other self" with his friends playing the card game duel monsters while going on adventures.
Each season has a different villain and plot towards it, so reason why I gave it a 6 is because its constant changes.
Never really attached me towards the story because it feels like it was dragged then rushed towards the finish.
The art, a solid 6 because for me it's not the best styles out there up for grabs but flexible.
The sound in the English dub version is flat along with it not fitting many situations as to comparing the Japanese version.
The characters don't really improve towards the series, the only major character changing is Yami, Yugi, and Joey/Jonouchi. Most of the other characters usually then don't do much to help out the series, or make an appearance then leave for many episodes later to finally come back.
Most of the characters are just side-line 'cheerleaders' or minor plot fillings for an episode.
The enjoyment is a 6 because, there was way beyond level of fillers in this series. I would have given the enjoyment an 8 if it wasn't for all the drawn out duels/talking and plot filling.
Overall the series is a 7 because of the story, enjoyment and sound, also in reminder its an anime directed more towards a younger viewer.
