Story: 6
It's Yu-Gi-Oh. Don't expect a deep plot obviously, because there won't be one. It's about people playing a children's card game for fun and to be the best, but there are also a lot of villains that appear that have the power to steal souls! It's not bad, but it's silly, don't you think? That's why I give the story a 6, which is fair. But surprisingly, there actually are some pretty damn deep moments within the anime, some of which could maybe even make me cry!
Art: 8
The art is very nice to look at. There are some continuity errors at times with the wrong card being displayed on the duel disk, but nobody really cares about that, anyway, right? Regardless, the art style is nice but it's nothing groundbreaking.
Sound: 9
The OST is actually really good! The intro is really catchy, and a lot of the music that plays in really serious and dark moments is VERY creepy and cool! It definitely really adds to the theme of the show!
Character: 9
Probably Yu-Gi-Oh GX's best trait are the characters. It has a very lovable main character with many lovable side characters, and some really cool and interesting villains! I think that the characters are the reason why I prefer this to the original. I just think that they were a bit better for some reason.
Enjoyment: 9
I'll always keep coming back to this anime and watching some of the epic duels. The show can be hilarious at times, and overall it's just a lot of fun to watch! Maybe not so much if you didn't grow up watching it though. If you watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh as a child and didn't watch this, and you tried watching this, you probably wouldn't like it at all, because it's quite a lot different and more light-hearted.
Overall: 9
This isn't a deep psychological anime or anything, and it does have quite a few continuity errors, but those can be ignored. For example, a lot of the card effects differ from how they work in real life, along with some of the game mechanics. Also, there are some instances when Jaden only uses a card once or twice, and then it's never seen from again. It makes you wonder where it went! But yeah, definitely watch it if you love the Yu-Gi-Oh series in general, because you're missing out if you skipped over this. Seriously, it's great. Quirky, funny, cool, and overall just a great anime!
