| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, that's it. I guess what I liked most about this Yugioh was the fact that they actually showed the characters doing other things than just playing card games all the damn time. Seriously, the name of this anime is "King of games"....as in ALL games, not just duel monsters. The bad thing is that the majority of the show was very episodic and unlike duel monsters there's not much storyline going on. I like Kaiba a lot more as a villain than his "anti-hero" role in duel monsters, although Mokuba as a villain is just plain stupid. Talking about stupid and utterly useless......Miho. Wow! I'm so glad they completely wrote her off the show, she did nothing and I could just imagine her in duel monsters annoying the fuck out of everyone and not contributing a damn thing in return. Overall, there's some nice things to like about this version of Yugioh, but duel Monsters is still superior IMO. 6/10 |

| I rate Anime based on enjoyment and at first i was feeling that i would give it a 6/10 at best, which only happened a very few times, but after watching this i actually enjoyed it. I feel sorry that we didn't get to see more card games and with the ''regular'' rules, but it was enjoyable to see the Yugioh challenging the bad guys in every kind of games, that's what the real King of Games should be about. Way better than i was expecting, kinda reminded me of other series such as One Outs and Akagi due to the ''gambling'' nature. 8/10. |
 |
| I thought this anime was quite good, with maybe the exclusion of a few episodes (last few) as i found some of the monster world stuff a bit boring. Enjoyable watch, a nice alternative to the duel monsters focused anime |
| Was a decent series, nothing special. 7/10 |
 |
| What was the point of those two monsters that Yugi turned into allies? Anyways, I love Yami Bakura but I'm glad Ryou was able to separate himself from him. Wondering why Miho doesn't appear in DM though??? 7/10 |
| Most people wondering about Miho, the thing is, she was just a side character in the manga. I think she only appears in the love letter chapter and never again. A weird choice to make her a main character here, but I guess maybe they wanted to balance the character genders. Also this and DM are done by two different studios and have no connection at all, aside from adapting the same manga. But yeah, unlike DM, this one was really low budget. And the fact that only VHS rips are available don't help it either. Overall I enjoyed this show (read this part of the manga beforehand) although some things felt a bit watered down, and some changes made no sense. Most notable change was the first Capsule Monster episode. It was supposed to be Mokuba's debut, instead some nerd fought Yugi. And they cut some hilarious episodes where Yugi tries to kill a guy for stealing his space in the school festival. While the manga and DM put a big focus on friendship, it never felt as hilarious as in this show. They literally say "How could you defeat me!" "Because I have friends!" I'd recommend people to read the manga as well, as the characters are even crazier in the manga. Yugi and Kaiba are lunatics there. DM's Kaiba was so watered down compared to manga's Kaiba who even killed Pegasus' men to save Mokuba. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Well that's the end to this, while the last couple episodes sure were interesting, the start and overall story progression was just slow and boring... I do wonder what the alternative version of this franchise will have to offer, but in general I do like the concept and looking forward what it will have to offer! That said, for this series as it is, it was fine but nothing too good to be honest! |
 |
| Fun show. The characters are much more developed than in Duel Monsters. It was funnier too. I enjoyed this more than expected for sure. 6/10 (Above Average) |
| Can't get more shounen-y. 5/10 |
| Nooooo it is finished, it was really good I loved the games and Yami Yugi, 8/10 |
 |
| Fixing everything through the power of friendship felt more ridiculous than usual, but combined with them looking like deformed blobby dolls, it was very cute. At first I thought Miho would stay useless but she kind of grew on me in the second half. Overall my favorite thing about this was seeing everyone be more expressive, Yugi's faces in particular. Seeing everyone's lives outside of DM makes me wish we had a little more of that but oh well - oh, and the fashion! Apart from Yugi's school uniform we only ever saw him in swimming trunks? lol It was nice to see how the ygo we know today began. King of games, I see no lies. |
| Well, let's say my second favorite episode after 26. As usual... The last episodes are always historical |
 |
| I was hoping this series would be more over the top. I know it's toned down compared to the manga, so more incentive to read it, I guess. |
 |
| "Nothing is impossible as long as we care for our friends" -Jounouchi Yugioh in a nutshell I like this season, unfortunately it's so inconsistent so—5.5/10 (6/10) |
 |
| Well at least I Had some good laughs with this show.... |
| The power of friendship in this show is pale in comparison with Fairy Tail..... |
| So that's how this strange non-card centric Yu-Gi-Oh ends? Neat! I liked this a ton. I'm probably never gonna watch Yu-Gi-Oh proper, since I really couldn't care less about the card game, but this anime was a huge treat for me. I will absolutely give this a 10/10, since the card game was shoved to the wayside, and I actually got to enjoy the anime for the characters and the scenarios instead. I'm not a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, but I'm a fan of THIS Yu-Gi-Oh! |

| I finished the OG Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time , and I have to say , I like the concept more than Duel Monsters , the anime name is literally "King-Of-Games" not King of Duel Monsters after all |

9/10
I really enjoyed the original series despite the, at times overwhelming, power of friendship trope. It really showed off the characters' personalities, relationships and lives while also having some pretty unique concepts for the Shadow Games. It was refreshing for every episode to be different and not just the same basic card battle concept for 200 consecutive episodes.
I do think it's a shame that the series went in a completely different direction. For all the hate that Miho gets, every character in DM onwards was reduced to a one dimensional duellist with no personality other than "cards cards cards, gotta win the next battle, etc."

| @Kenkaihikikeru I really liked Miho, and I was a bit annoyed at the friendship trope too |

| @HikarieChan exactly! You should read the manga too |
|
| last episode and the power of the friendship saved all them!!! Last episode!!! kekeke |
| Damn, that's it? I guess the Kaiba story was done when he was defeated. No more Egyptian lore? I guess they expand on it all in the next series. Bakura being able to control his left arm because a chunk was missing from Yami Bakura's character was interesting. The whole thing was funny. Yami Bakura just moving the laptop further away, Bakura throwing the dice, Yami Bakura stabbing his own hand and laughing like a maniac. Idk why it took Yugi so long to realise it wasn't Bakura. How did the punch both grab Poki and hit Zooku at the same time? Anyway, this anime wasn't as bad as I thought. I liked all the characters. I haven't watched most of the main anime but the ones I did watch made Anzu and Honda kind of bland. I like that they're all pretty different in this one. Maybe they should've kept Miho. I think she adds levity to the show and gives Honda something to focus on. I got some of the lore I wanted but not enough. Does that mean I have to watch the main anime....... it's so long though and I don't really care for the card game. I'll miss Yami Yugi's personality. |
