Wait, wasn't this the series getting released in America before being released in Japan? If that's the case, then this series doesn't have anything to do with the characters in the yugioh series going on right now. I mean, it has a character with the same name, but he's not even related to the yugi in the current series... |

Yu-Gi-Oh itself is a cheap cash-in, dude. |

Zac: True, but at least the writing is better than Pokemon.

Personally, I think that the only redeemable part of Yu-Gi-Oh! is the original manga, which happens to be pretty good (and differs very much from the second anime). Even if you were to get the uncut version of the Duel Monsters anime, it still pales in comparison to the original manga, making everything center around the cards. The original 27 episode anime also doesn't have very high production values, in my opinion. And while I haven't seen this new anime, the fact that Kazuki Takahashi didn't write an original manga for this to be based on will doom it to mediocrity like such shows as Dragonball GT.

So which is it, a sequel or a series that has nothing to do with the series? And was making it even Kazuki Takahashi's idea or the company made it?..(reminds me of DragonBallGT)

Some of the original characters are in the series but they don't play major roles. Supposedly Yugi now either runs or works for a dueling school. Some kid who attends this school is the main character. Yugi apparently gives him a special card within the first few episodes to help him out. Or something like that.

In my opinion Dragonball GT was an attempt to make DBZ more like the original Dragonball, only in the future.
This DMGX thing is so much like a fanfiction idea, it's almost not funny. (Yes, this was a fanfiction idea in MY head) |

Yes, that is kind of hard to imagine Yugi as a terrorist. |

yah he runs the dueling school thingy. Which is a pretty silly idea, if you ask me, why would you want to go to a special school to learn how to play duel monsters? It's a pretty simple game...

Just a clarification, Yami Yugi (Dark Yugi) is not actually a "terrorist", like Al Qaeda or other Middle East extremist groups. He doesn't go around waging "holy" wars against other people or randomly attacking innocent people. He does use black magic from the Shadow Realm (a "Penalty Game") to punish those with wicked hearts (quite harshfully, I might add), but it's mostly out of defense for regular Yugi (the one without the fierce eyes), who is quite the pathetic wimp. So I don't think you'll see Yami Yugi crashing planes into prominent buildings any time soon... Also, much of the anime that has not crossed the Pacific because of the brutality of the "Penalty Games" has actually crossed the Pacific in the form of the manga, which has been appearing monthly in Shonen Jump (USA), uncut. In addition, I doubt that they are holding back licensing the first anime because of violent acts by Yugi, since much more brutal shows have been licensed and are airing on TV as we speak. Heck, just look at some of the ways victims have died in Case Closed/Detective Conan, and that was also billed as a "kid's show" in Japan. Yami Yugi's punishments are more cruel, but definately not as brutal, since most of his victims at least get to live. The first season hasn't been brought over because it will not sell due to the lack of a force-feeding of the card game every second an episode, like the second Duel Monsters series does, to the point where it rewrites the original story to incorporate the game. Kids won't watch a show were people play inventive games that don't have any relation to Duel Monsters. I close with three questions: Did anyone who actually reads the manga notice that they used to call the card game "Magic and Wizards" up until sometime during the "Death T" storyline, and suddenly at the end of the story, it was called "Duel Monsters"? Secondly, has the manga indeed ended in Japan? Finally, has anyone heard or confirmed that Viz will be skipping ahead in Shonen Jump (USA) to the "Memories Arc" (past Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, Doma Saga, and the KC Grand Prix, the latter of which has not even aired edited on TV yet) and releasing the rest of the story as graphic novels exclusively starting with "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Vol. 1" (really volume 8)? I hope Viz realizes this is a stupid move, but I'm not holding my breath for them to change it. That Yu-Gi-Oh R sounds...odd...who wants more stuff about Pegasus? Edit: Mea culpa, a slight error on my part. There was no Doma Saga or KC Grand Prix in the original manga. The Noa Arc in the middle of the Battle City Arc was also an anime-original story (though founded in some events that had been mentioned early in the manga about the Kaiba family, but never mentioned in the anime until that point).
