Is an anime worse when it doesn't follow the manga? Honestly, the answer depends on what anime you're talking about. The first anime adaptation actually followed the manga faithfully and was later released as "Season Zero" in the West. This was the first Yugioh anime to be widely released outside Japan, but was actually the 2nd anime adaptation of Kazuki Takahashi's original manga. Time for another highly nostalgic review! Today, I will be looking back on Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which was very popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s. If you still don't want to give this anime a chance, at least look up the sound duels. Just look past the silly card game and you WILL love this series too.Īnd please oh please, I beg of you. Over all, I never thought I would like yugioh and now it’s my favorite anime. Yugioh has its deep and serious side about how the mind works, human nature and perhaps a bit of schizophrenia. Some people view this series as childish and down right silly, but they are only looking on the outside. I disliked the series when it was showing on TV but loved the Japanese. The English adaption also leaves a LARGE gap between the uncut viewers and the ones that grew up on the 4kids edited version. There are a lot of filler episodes and two filler seasons. Sometimes it feels like it’s not worth it. Sometimes that ends up being a whole episode. The card game can get boring and over done and I end up skipping all of them. I could go on and on just talking about the music.Įven though I have a lot of good things to say about this show, it has its down-falls. Some songs are sad and forlorn while others are upbeat and jazzy. The soundtrack is memorable and I love listening to it by itself. Shinkichi uses a lot of violin in his songs giving the series a melancholic vibe. The music is written by Shinkichi Mitsumune and is the thing I miss the most in the English version. Also, each artist interprets the characters differently so they change style episode to episode. While episodes directed by Takahiro Kagami (Death note’s lead animation director for most episodes) look smooth and beautifully drawn, others are complete crap. The animation varies from episode to episode. You’ll end up liking a lot of them and hate to see them leave in the end. The characters are unique and easy to warm up to. Because the series is 200 something episodes, this change is gradual and almost unnoticeable. It’s amazing when you compare the very last episode yugi to the very first season 0 yugi. Through these battles Yugi matures and becomes a strong, dependant person, gains friends and learns to stick up for himself. A main key to this story is that this spirit, “yugi’s other self” (yami in English) has no memory of his name or where he came from. who at first appears to have evil intentions. Upon finishing it, He is possessed with an ancient spirit For 8 years he works on a puzzle that his grandfather found in Egypt. The story is about a kid named Yugi who is shorter than average, insecure, geeky and picked on most of the time. The series started out with no card games at all. What people fail to see is the intense character development that happens over a course of 224 episodes. I’ve heard it called the best worst series ever. The theme is composed by Wayne Sharpe and John Siegler.Yugioh is an anime about card games, that’s what most people see when they watch it. Both are available in the album Music by 4Kids TV, and two other versions have been made available in Yu-Gi-Oh! Music to Duel By and the soundtrack for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pyramid of Light.
