I don't see any reviews here so I'll make one. This is my first, so please excuse any mistakes. This is a long review, so please bear with me.

First of all, the animation is so outstanding. It's really high quality and during certain scenes in the movie you may think that it's real life scenery instead of 2D/CG. I couldn't believe my eyes watching it, 'cause usually Yu-Gi-Oh! didn't have that high quality animation (except for Zexal). Even Arc-V has meh animation. The animation is so constantly beautiful you can't take your eyes off the screen. This, I think, is one of the gems in ...

To put this simply - This film is not for people that play the game, because you won't be finding much of that here. Instead this is a film of pure nostalgia and progression.

The story is nothing much to speak of, a slotted in bad guy with the wrong intentions and then another "bigger" villain. The heroes then all come together to save the day. But like I said, this film is about character and that's where it shines - Because this film is for Kaiba.

They knew perfectly what people love about Kaiba, his sass and utter fire that he talks. His personality is better ...

The film sequel no one asked for but delivered on every single level. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions does something I've rarely seen in anime: it caps off a 20 year old franchise with a movie that fits perfectly in the original series canon. It was announced out of the blue with characters from the original series that haven't been on a television screen in over a dozen years, yet never seems out-of-date or as just a simple cash-grab.

Story: 9/10

The setting takes place one year after the Ceremonial Duel that sent the Pharaoh spirit within the Millennium Puzzle to the afterlife. Yugi, Tea (Anzu), ...

This film is a treat for fans of the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, but will likely have limited appeal to others.

While any attempts to play the game itself quickly devolve from pseudo-strategy to enough shouting to do the cast of Dragonball Z proud, they look as gorgeous and classy as the rest of the movie. On the audio side of things too, things are good, and there are a lot of classic Yu-Gi-Oh! tunes to be heard by nimble-eared fans.
Seeing the characters back in action again is delightful, even if many serve little purpose in the plot itself. Kaiba, especially, is a riot in the film, playing ...

Overall this is just another Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie. I came into this movie thinking it was going to be really good, but the dimensional summoning that was introduced really turned me off. I felt like it wasn't really explained that well and it was really confusing at times at what was going to happen when a monster attacked or a card was activated. For most of the duels involving Aigami was really confusing when he was fusing his monsters and attacking multiple times on one duel. They made the main antagonist really overpowered and Konami had to dig themselves out their own hole. This ended up ...

It's been a really long time since I've written a review but I haven't been able to stop thinking about this film since I saw it and so I'm going to jot my thoughts down here :)

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions is the perfect sequel to an already perfect ending. If you're like me, you were probably worried that this film would undo the great and satisfying ending of Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters, however I'm pleased to say quite the opposite is true. The film treats itself as an epilogue right from the start as we get to see our heroes 6 months after ...

. The animation was flawless, if you like anime and great graphics this film really is for you.
The character development was also worth mentioning, especially with the antagonist, I felt as if they really built up a good background for this character and usually this is a rare thing to find. They tied up a lot of loose ends too, mainly concerning Bakura and even Shadi, so this was very satisfying to me after the original series had left a lot of questions.
The humour was well placed and not too overbearing, Kaiba had the most laughter inducing comments though with Joey a close ...

This would be my first review so forgive me.

Right, so let's jump in with the plot. I watched this in the Japanese version. The story itself was not related to any of the current series, but more after the events of the original series. The story itself didn't make a great deal of sense to me, but I had watched the final part in English also and they seem to be a lot of dialogue change to fit the English story, o it may have a slightly different story depending on the language.

the animation is amazing, and a mix of 2 and 3d, with ...

I'm writing my review a little later than some, but hopefully its useful to potential viewers.

When Dark Side of Dimensions was announced in 2016, many people were very excited at the prospect of another Yu-Gi-Oh movie and some were little apprehensive as the franchise's movies tend to be a little underwhelming and even cringey. Dark Side of Dimensions is a step-up from that, but it's not perfect.

Story: The story is pretty basic and uniform for Yu-Gi-Oh. Good guys are having a good time, bad guys show up and it's up to the good guys to stop them, oh and Seto Kaiba has his own ...

Holy shit. My expectations must have been really low without my realizing it, because I was really surprised when this movie ended up being really good. Basically, this was everything I could have wanted out of a Yugioh! movie.

To start, this plot was just so... Kaiba. After everything they went through to get the pharaoh's soul to rest, Kaiba is going to go to any lengths necessary to resurrect Atem and finally beat him in a duel to prove he's the best. Which is so over the top and ridiculous... though I can't say I'm surprised. But we're given a bit of a twist ...

Yugioh Dark Side Dimensions is a movie that by all impossible odds should not exist, but it does. A movie that breaks the cliff ending tropes most franchises and anime shows end in. This is the Yugioh movie to satisfy all Yugioh fans of the original story.

If this movie came out in the 2000's, it would be a cult classic. But because it came out in 2016, it does both good and bad in it's modern upholding, though surprisingly, it's flaws don't have anything to do with the actual lore itself, but the direction that the new movie plot went.

This movie, if you asked a ...

Fun movie that doesn't interfere with the canon too much and when it does, it is minor enough to pay respects to the original. The CGI and animation is really great which compensates for the lack of time which made the duels in the original series so epic and great. The lack of time is a huge limiting factor for a series like Yu-Gi-Oh where the series has already ended. A movie can only bring further closure to an already finished series and the side-story about Tea is really nice and all the gang(yugi, joey/jonouchi, tristan/honda, tea/anzu, bakura) graduating was cool. Kaiba was his typical ...

In this movie you join Yugi and his friends as they try and stop the antagonist Diva from stealing pieces of Pharo's enchantment item. Seto Kaiba had nearly collected all pieces to summon Pharo for a duel but Yugi and Diva's sister had the last two pieces, they need to settle the argument with a duel! who will win? I think that this anime was very interesting but the duels got very repetitive and it was really predictable. The animation was very clean and the sound/voice actors were almost perfect. I would recommend watching the anime before watching the film to understand the backstories ...

I generally think most battle Shonen works best in movie form. Establish the stakes, establish your broad characters, they fight, good guys win, and everyone goes home happy. If you can do it in under two hours I won't feel like I wasted my time, and this movie accomplished exactly that.

Does it make sense....sure..... I do fully believe Seto Kaiba would invent time travel as a means to satiate his own ego after the end of the original series. Do I care about the villains plan? Their motivations? Their name? Nope, I just needed them to stand there, twirl their mustaches and laugh outrageously as ...
