Synopsis

The world of Duel Masters is one of five great civilizations. Through a card game, duelists can bring these worlds into existence, making what was previously abstract into reality. These skilled duelists are known as Kaijudo masters.

Shobu Kirifuda is the best player at his local playground, and seeks to become a world-class master like his father. His first step on the road to conquest begins with winning a local tournament. Rather, it should have, except he is destroyed by the best Kaijudo master in the world, Knight. Shobu loses, but upon remembering the words of wisdom his father instilled into him, decides to continue on the road of becoming a duelist who can enjoy the game for what it is. And so begins his journey to victory－and as we all know, the journey is the most important part!

Duel Masters was a show with soooo much potential.
Its the Magic The Gathering version of Yu-Gi-Oh.

The plot is interesting. The main characters are likeable.
The duels are fun to watch. The monsters look cool.
The card game itself is actually well made and fun to play.

However the anime feels cheaply made in some areas. Especially the audio quality. Sometimes you can barely hear what some people are saying.
The animation is not great. Sometimes straight up terrible.

[ PROs and CONs REVIEW ]

PROS:

+If you’re aged 12 or below, then you might actually like this anime.

+If you prefer Cartoon Network and Disney type cartoons over actual anime, then this is a real treat. The 3D creature animations are cool.

+The actual Duel Masters Trading Card Game isn’t half bad. I bought a few packs and played it with my friends around 7 years back. It’s pretty entertaining if you understand the concept.
