Heart of the cards, friendship blah blah blah, etc is a bit much for me now but I guess it isn't as annoying when you are a kid. Rewatching it now, I find it slightly annoying. I quite after the main character was no longer Yugi though and the new stuff is no good to me. I Liked Yu-gi-oh when I was young, and I still say it's better than Pokemon. When I rewatched I watched 40 episodes but that doesn't make any sense either. Okay, so I know I watched at least some of this because I recognize the story but I don't recall watching over 200 episodes. I am scoring this based on it being for children and being a childrens anime, not as a anime for all ages or anime in general! Of course, it was great to realise that I wasn't the only person over the age of eight who likes Yu-Gi-Oh! Of course, half the 'modern' allure to Yu-Gi-Oh! is from LittleKuriboh's fantastic Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged, possibly my favourite thing to grace the internet since it's creation. I even tried watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal recently, but I can't bare the raping of the franchise any more. The tales of friendship and loyalty stuck with me to this day, and although it is incredibly cheesy to admit, I still watch it sometimes. I must have watched the series at least five times over. I was never a trading card fan and I never owned my own deck, but I loved the anime passionately. Although it is extremely generic, every single episode is pretty lame, and it's a show about a children's trading card game with added evil spirits from Ancient Egypt, I found the plot compelling at the time. The reason I have rated Yu-Gi-Oh! so highly is because I can't not like it. And the score was boosted by two just for Yugi's hair. If it was on Cartoon Network, Boomerang or Jetix, I watched it. I watched them all as a kid Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Avatar: The Last Airbender (though technically not anime), Sailor Moon. I can remember watching badly dubbed episodes of Sailor Moon as a very small child, which eventually drew me back to anime as a teenager, but it was Yu-Gi-Oh! that was on pretty much constantly between the ages of 6 and 12, by which time I had turned off the kiddie channels it played on. It's up there with Sailor Moon, although it came slightly later. Although it is by no means the greatest anime ever, I have to pay homage to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters as the anime that got me into anime.
