Yu-Gi-Oh! does not suck.
Before you go judging it, why don't you try ACTUALLY looking up into the REAL thing, rather than the American dub?
4Kids Production BUTCHERED YuGiOh! Mercilessly. They turned it into a little kid's show with an annoying yet very strategic and complex card game that is clearly meant for young adults.
The art is terrific, the gameplay is terrific, yet people like you mock it because in the American version, its been disgustingly modified for younger viewers to watch when it is originally meant for teenagers.
Don't believe me? Visit
http://www.yu-jyo.net/ they have an episode guide that compares the English version to the Japanese version and reveals all the crap that 4Kids Production did to it.
In the original version created by Kazuki Takahashi, there was a season before Duelist Kingdom that was also made in the anime but never released into America as it was way too violent. In fact, in Japan, YuGiOh is suggested for people 17 years and up. Anyway, in the first season, there's a lot of blood and a lot of attempts to murder Yugi. For example, Seto Kaiba sets up a big "amusement park" that goes through a good many trials where Yugi must win otherwise he'll be killed - in one he has to fight in a sort of laser tag game where the other team has ACTUAL lasers and they are assassins, war heroes, and convicts with mad shooting skills. In another, Yugi and his friends are forced onto a sort of roller coaster where they get seated into chairs like electric chairs where, if they make any noises during the ride, they'll be zapped with 10,000,000 electric volts, and they're going through a sort of graveyard-themed track, Jounouchi(I believe he's known as Joey in the American dub) desperately fears stuff like this, and is only saved when he passes out like a pansy (XD He's my fav charrie, too)
Anyway. If you still think YuGiOh sucks, I suggest going out and skimming through the original season of mangas before you judge it. Seriously. Don't mock something you don't know completely about. Grow up and quit acting so immature and making fun of a strategic game that you don't like just because you're sore because you're probably to incompitent to understand it.
Thank You! This proves exactly what I said earlier. I also happen to play the card game. I have a Beast/Beast-Warrior deck ^_^
Really? ^_^ That's awesome. I'm not too into the actual card game, but I do love to collect the cards as they're really well-made and drawn. And they inspire me to want to be intellectual because sometimes when I read them they confuse me XD
But I love YuGiOh, hands down. I've been into Detective Conan lately, but YuGiOh will always be my favorite as it was the first Anime I got into in-depth. I loved Pokemon first, but YuGiOh was major for me. I looked up everything, I knew every single character and could name off most cards and their effects by heart. When I got to about twelve I looked up all the junk on the internet and found out many interesting and things that I loved, and then of course I read the manga... at first I didn't like it, but then when I actually read it I freakin loved it so much.
YuGiOh is awesome. Best Anime ever, if you give it a chance and don't watch the show.
P.S.
Dude... are these people like retarded? ... You can't seriously think these cards are printed on cardboard. Last time I checked, cardboard's that crappy brown stuff that boxes are made out of. YuGiOh cards are a thick, firm paper, but CERTAINLY not cardboard. I rest my case.
