But why does everything we watch have to be thought provoking to the point where it questions the meaning of life? Why can't it be pointlessly fun?


That...wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Read it again. She's not bashing the show's lack of substance, she's mocking its oh-so-very cheesy elements.

As for pointless fun, sure, we all like that once in a while. But pointless fun doesn't always mean kids throwing playing cards, tops, and living plushies around. If I want to give my brain a rest, for example, I opt more for stuff like Azumanga Daioh, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Read or Die, or Excel Saga. Either a total off-the-wall comedy or a total off-the-wall action OVA, with nary a spinning top or cheesy dragon card in sight.

Oh, I didn't realize, until I read a thread on a different board, that this is an original production that they're animating in Japan just for the American market!

Oh noez! The artistic integrity of Yu-Gi-Oh has been compromised by adding an eighth Millenium Item! Can America survive, and, more importantly, did I just write the words "the artistic integrity of Yu-Gi-Oh" with a straight face? Rolling Eyes

I dunno... did you say it with a straight face? I can't say the two in the same sentence without at least a smirk Smile

Yesterday I happened to catch the last ten minutes of Duel Monsters, or whatever it's called. From that perspective Yu-Gi-Oh is an artistic tour-de-force! It's all relative. Cool

Do not. Do not. Use that word in that context on these forums.

I saw the trailer of the Yu-gi-oh in one website. I think it's called Janime. But it seemed good, especially the song being played. It also seems a little more violent than the dubbed version on tv. One scene has Pegasus being blasted by some beam and knocked down. I don't think you see people actually getting hit by the monsters in the dubbed tv version. The rating is also supposed to be PG. It's also a Japanese-American co-production, so we know that the Japanese part has a say on what kind of content will be in this movie.

Figures. I guess I'll never know whether Yugi draws on the powers of his friends channeled through playing cards that are ALSO AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL COMIC STORE and defeats all evil or fails and gets turned into stone for eternity.


Ahhh. The egyptian god cards. Who would of thought that 3 cards pulled from a HP Printer using $0.01 paper from Office Depot and third party ink could rule the world?.

Great series, I tell y'.

Would make for some easy cosplay skits, though. All you need is a deck of cards.

And you would need a gallon of hair gel.


Gel? You would need Crisco to get that kinda hair. =P

I'm not saying that it's going to have blood in it. It's probably not going to be even close to the the uncut version of yu-gi-oh but it might be just a little bit more violent than the us version on tv. some movies based on tv shows are a little bit more violent or etc. than the tv version. I could be wrong. I still don't like the yu-gi-oh dub though.
