Okay.. The reviews I've read so far are ALL hating this because of the similarities between yugioh (and other TCG anime)
And by reading the other reviews you can make your own assumption on the anime
BUT
I'm going to review the TCG more than the anime.
The anime isn't groundbreaking.. Again, it's like any other TCG anime.. But the TCG itself Is really interesting. I read somewhere that the anime is only a promotional tool for the card game and it maybe But It's a unique game but at the same time feels similar to other great games. Which makes it easier to get into.
It has a unique monsters only type've gameplay, (so no spells or traps or anything) but monsters have certain abilities and things called Drive Trigger (kind've like the Shield Triggers in Duel Masters) to influence the match in various ways.
The ratings I have given are based on the anime and NOT the TCG itself. If I had to give a rating for the TCG i would've given it a higher rating! But that isn't the case!
If you want to watch a new TCG based anime to get into something new, then i suggest you watch. But if you want to watch it for entertainment reasons, I wouldn't recommend it.
