Rating: Summary: Pretty cool:) Review: At first I didin't really like Yu-Gi_oh! but now since I've watched it a little more I like the show now. First I got intrested in collecting the cards then I watched the show and said to myself hey this isn't so bad. To me Yu-Gi-oh! is a safe show for kids like me! But let me tell you all the episodes go from bad to worse. Along the series every epsode has to have something bad happen in it like Pegesus captured Yugi's grandfather's soul or in the new episodes Merick captured Yugi's friends. But on the last episode it's a good ending. So the series is not so bad and it's pretty cool!:)
Rating: Summary: Good, but overpriced and a horrible dub Review: Don't be fooled by my review title; I am literally obsessed with the show. It was this obsession of mine that led me to the original Japanese DVDs. I'd like to comment that this DVD is a ripoff. You're paying $17.95 for what, three episodes? I don't think so, EVEN though these three episodes are some of the best ones of the show. My average spending on Yu-gi-Oh DVDs is $30 for 31 episodes. This means that I've spent about $210 for 171 episodes overall. (In other words, it's about $.82 per episode, not including the two or three hour-long specials, as opposed to the $5.98 per episode you're paying for these DVDs.) Personally, if you're over fifteen, I'd recommend the original Japanese DVDs as opposed to the American ones. (Don't worry, the subtitles are good on all of the boxed sets except for the first one, which has mediocre subtitles that can be confusing since the translator was not too good. The other sets have subtitles that are much better.) With the Japanese DVDs, you get better voice acting (it sucks in the American version, you just can't tell until you've seen the original), more character development, a plot that makes more sense (yes, they chop up the plot before they send animes to America), and you get to see what happens before everyone else (I'm three or four seasons ahead of you guys. Hee hee!). If you're under fifteen, then you might want to stick with these DVDs, since the original version has more violence and cursing. (Oh no! The same smut that we see on TV everyday in a cartoon! The horror! 0_o) Now, to the actual story. The three episodes on this DVD are some of my personal favorites and I'd recommend them to anyone who enjoys some Seto vs. Yugi duels. (Just wait one more season, guys. You don't know what you're missing.) This particular duel starts after Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters and the antagonist of the story (this season, anyway), offers Seto a deal: If Seto can defeat Yugi, he will earn the honor to duel with Pegasus and therefore have a shot at saving Mokuba, his younger brother. Seto then challenges Yugi, who accepts. The duel rages back and forth with neither side showing any mercy until Seto makes the duel dangerous and life-threatening by displaying how desperate he is to win. What happens next? Not telling! ^__^ This duel is also the introduction of Seto's ultimate monster: The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, a monster that I love. So, these episodes are excellent, but they are overpriced and the dub isn't as good as the original. Still, this DVD set would make an excellent addition to any Yugioh fan's collection. Whatever you decide, have fun and happy dueling! ..

Rating: Summary: If you hate Yugi like I do, this episode's for you! Review: I think the Yu-Gi-Oh anime is lame, and except for Kaiba(and even then, he was far more sadistic in the manga, but then again, who wasn't?), everyone is a stupid whiny cry-baby. However, sick of seeing Yugi win repeated card match after card match, I'm happy to see that the "unbeatable," game master is finally defeated, by his rival Kaiba no less! About time someone finally beat him! And not only does Kaiba take the victory, but he also severely screws with Shorty's... er, Yugi's head as well! Yay Kaiba!

Rating: Summary: this is cool! Review: This anime has been my favorite ever since Pokemon went out of style. I think these three episodes are one of the best episodes in the whole show. This is the best battle ive seen yet!
Rating: Summary: Yu-Gi-Oh My God Review: This isn't a reference to the DVD but to the show in general. First of all, this is nothing like the actual manga in Shonen Jump. Me and my buddies are convinced that whoever made the 'show' read the 11th episode (which is the first and only one in whick Kaiba and Duel Monsters makes an appearance), looked at the covers of the others for names and faces (cuz the other characters including the main ones are nothing like they were in the manga. Example: Joey was a wannabe sleezy movie director, not a wimpy 'duelist') The manga was really funny (Yami Yugi wanted to sell the milennium puzzle on EBay and wrestled Yugi for it) and the villains were not realistic at all. My second reason is that and pointless. First episode: Quothe the Joey "Use the millenium puzzle, Yugi!" Do I have a problem with this? I wouldn't if they EXPLAINED WHAT THE HELL THE BLOODY &@$#!@ THING WAS BEFORE THEY USED IT'S 'MAGICAL' POWERS! Finally, I hate the essential and ridiculous theme of the show which is "Good Will Ultimately Triumph" This inner theme is stupid because it is not correct and it makes the show boring because Yugi will always win in the end and therefore there's no challenge. I gave it one star only because I couldn't give it less.

Rating: Summary: Yu-Gi-Oh just doesn't cut it Review: This isn't specifically this DVD, but the Yu-Gi-Oh series in general. It's not as much a "great anime" as something more like Pokemon, something younger children can identify with easier, not that there aren't older fans. Still, the entire concept of this series is old: "Believe in yourself". The whole series is based off this, and in every episode there's usually some "random chance" in which the character has a flashback of all his friends, and then miraculously draws the winning card. Sure, more and more "powerful" cards appear, but nothing really changes. Find a better anime.
Rating: Summary: bad movie Review: This movie is a waste of your money. You will have nightmares because the animation is horrible.
