Overly corny and sappy af
"TV show" bullshit rules that override the actual card game
Atrocious exposition that is basically parody
Literally no character development

I must've been a complete moron watching this every Saturday morning...

I respectfully disagree. 4kids YGO dub may just be the best anime of all time. It has badasses like Kaiba, Evil Bakura, and the Pharaoh. That sweet god theme too. Plus all those funny added dublines

Are you serious? Joey had some serious character development, so did little Yugi. Heck, you could say even Kaiba's gone through a bit of a change, but being unflinching is kinda his personality. Atem was also challenged in the infamous Orichalcos arc and the last arc.

I'm still on the first season. I don't remember Yugi evolving at all, he just goes through opponents like Goku one strong antagonist after another. He's really just there to help Joey improve, who may as well be the main protagonist, but Joey-Wheeler-Oh wouldn't work as a show

the card game didn't exist until sometime after the show did, of course the rules make no sense. Heck there's a yugioh game on ps1 with nonsense rules that doesn't fit the actual card game

There's some backstabby evil thing that Yugi does that no one seems to notice.

He gave Joey the Time Wizard, which is what he used to win nearly every duel in the tournament. Then when he and Yugi face off, he uses his powerful Time Wizard and...made Yugi's monster stronger. Yugi just so happened to have the perfect counter to Joey's ultimate card...that Yugi gave him.

Considering there are magical elements involved, I may have to. It gets hard not paying attention to the card game aspects in the show compared to the real thing. So many jarring moments.

Absolutely not. I loved Yugioh as a kid, but the show is incredibly dumb.

I enjoyed it as a kid, but I tried rewatching it recently and couldn't make it that far. All of Yugi's friends are as interesting as glue and serve little purpose other than to be his cheerleaders. Yugioh Abridged is actually a superior series.

its a great franchise
with issues with its female characters
women are allowed to beat other women, non humans, and joke characters
but the number of times a female character has beaten a serious male character in a duel in the franchises 24 year history can be counted on 1 hand

and if a girl ever beats a main male character its always because he made a mistake or an obvious misplay the show highlights
this year in yugioh sevens was the first time a girl beat a main male character without him having to misplay to give her an advantage

also the main characters usually have their boss monsters animated using computer animation but the female leads dont really get that treatment since they dont wanna waste a bunch of budget on the girl duels

romin in yugioh sevens is finally a female lead that gets the computer animation treatment for her best monster

Thats what hes supposed to be. Hes a battle shonen protagonist.

the most annoying YGO trope is that guys get dragons and chimeras and warlocks and chaos knights while girls get variations of "woman in sports gear or dress". Like I'm pretty sure the only time this isn't true is 5Ds giving them Black Rose Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon (which happens to be among the greatest arcs in Yugioh, hmmmmmmmmmm)

Only hard to watch if you learned the og card game. Gets fairly annoying.

A lot of people point to Zexal II changing the card Yuma already drew as the most bullshit cheating in YGO but that at least had a ton of buildup and the whole point of the form was to perform a miracle...

but my favorite is the intentional "cheat" where Yuri lies about using a stock Fusion deck and still has Super Poly despite a trap card removing all "polymerization" cards from his deck because he drew it on his first turn

To be fair, he didn't actually fuse a spell card with a monster card. He fused Mammoth Graveyard with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Living Arrow is just what let him do that.

Didn't it cause the BEWD to continuously lose attack? Imagine playing a card game with real-time effects lol

It wasn't real-time. He lost attack on each of Yugi's turns.

Don't get me wrong, that's not what Polymerization does, but this is one of the more sensible bits of lunacy from the Duelist Kingdom arc.

next episode romin, luke and gokuto are going to have to duel against the guy who created yugas archetype to show their resolve
i think this is going to give the 3 of them the mid season power up and the new way to summon in rush duels

gokuto really needs a win
he hasnt won a duel yet and out of the core 4 he has the worst loss record
i dont think luke has lost to anyone yet and romins only loss was her first duel which was against yuga

The times where someone openly cheats and its either just ok to do so and the game continues like cheating is a legit strategy and also the good guys still play fair but also cheat by having yami beat the game for them.

Its awesome.

Picking whatever card you want won't matter if the other guy has you bodied.

There was one instance where a monster just kept losing attack points in real time in Duelist Kingdom. It was Gaia the Fierce Knight when he was getting pelted by some poison dust thing when Yugi dueled Weevil

While YGO isn't great, I wouldn't put it even in the top 30 of things I've seen. Right now I'm kinda leaning towards the worst thing I've seen (that I remember, anyway) being Magi: Legend of Sinbad which has laughably large amounts of narrative exposition explaining everything, characters who get virtually no introduction (Hina's wife, who we only hear a few things about her dialogue exposition -- none of which suggests any attraction to Hina -- before she marries Hina), and a lot of recaps of things we saw just an episode ago. And that's in ADDITION to the annoying over-use of shonen tropes, the nonsensical plot elements, and characters whose personalities flip on a dime.
