The story is good, but its weakness perhaps is that it revolves solely around a card game. This was a smart move from a financial aspect, but it's still a card game right, right!! In Ancient Egypt there existed a force so powerful, it had to be locked away for a millennia. Now one boy has released that power! It's time to duel! Yu-Gi-Oh is an excellently constructed series and what really shines is the characters. There's an awful lot of characters and they are all well written, adding depth to the story. The story drags a little at the end as the main antagonists are Reshef: The Dark Being and Dark Master: Zorc these are Ritual monsters from the game, I believe Yami Bakura is controlling them, but who cares when it takes up so many episodes. The final duels are good and it brings some solace, but the episodes before these drag it down a bit, in my opinion.
All in all it was a fun series. A card game to decide the fate of the world? Interesting though and worth a watch, even if you never play the card game.
