Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (TV).

CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!

think the insecurity ikillchicken was referring to was your apparent obsession with whether a show is "for kids" or not, something which I have also noticed in many of your posts. I tend to agree- I don't really understand what the big deal is if you happen to like something that was originally aimed primarily at children. I don't really want to argue whether Yu-gi-oh! as it originally aired in Japan fits that bill because it's pointless to argue it with you, and it doesn't really matter anyway. I will openly admit that I love plenty of series aimed at children. Princess Tutu, one of my favorite shows, was originally aimed at little girls (though it is dark enough to have warranted a TV-14 rating here in the States, our ratings system is quite different from Japan's.) It is a kids' show. But that doesn't--and shouldn't--matter to me, because it's just the show's target demographic and says nothing about the quality of the show itself.

In my admittedly rather uninformed opinion, I think it's cool that they tried something new^^ The darker mood is kind of neat, and I think Yusei is one of the more likeable Yu-gi-oh protagonists, from what I've seen. Of course, I'm a sucker for dystopian stuff, so I may be biased xD

If they want to keep arguing against Word of God and insist the game is for 6 year olds, that's their problem and more power to them.

Well once again, if your contention is that Yugioh is for 13 year olds we aren't really that far apart. A thirteen year old is still pretty much a child. So while I do think that is on the high end, they're more or less in the ballpark.

Did you just refer to Evangelion and FMA as "kids shows"? Might wanna go back and edit that typo, TitanXL

NGE was graphic, steeped in allegory and metaphor, and focused on presenting psychological analyses of each character (and all their issues) involved in Freudian fashion. I highly doubt the pretty mech battles are enough to keep an age 7-14 demographic enchanted and hooked to the screen.

FMA was more action-oriented, but still presented a deep story and some complicated concepts that may not appeal to very young children.

Now you're just being dishonest.

If you aren't going to agree with me then fine. Don't misrepresent my position to try and make your refusal appear more reasonable though.
