First off this was one of the first animes i ever watched.Back then i didn't even know what anime was but it didn't matter to me the only thing i cared about was how it looked and how people at school were playing the card game.So the reasons for liking this anime is because the characters are well developed throughout the show and you get to see different views of the characters and i mean EVERY character for example Yugi (Yami or Atem) is the heroine of the story but we really don't know about his past until later on...
Anyway you eventually figure out how
...
his mind (soul) got trapped inside the puzzle and how darker secrets are revealed...Anyway people should watch the Japanese version of this anime because there's alot of content that 4kids took out to show to a younger audience and even the anime has alot of content that the manga doesn't for example...Pegasus actually dies because Bakura pulls out his Millenium Eye and then Bakura licks the blood off the eye.....yeah it's pretty gross i know but it portrays the kind of character Bakura would be like in the future evil and not trustworthy except that his counter part is quite the opposite of him.
The art is well made because of the artwork of the monsters and how their attacks reflect the monster.The main characters are well drawn and you got to like Yugi's hair! xD
The sound is of a good quality and the voices in the english dubbed version actually match the mouth movement o.o.The voices also sound matched to the character and their personality...even the insane villains. But since it's an english dubbed version from 4kids some voices may seem familiar to you from other shows or animes.For example Kaiba's voice is one of the annoucer guys that says which anime is up next on the 4kids channel..i was loled at that because he says Yugioh is up next... and then his voice is heard a few minutes into the anime xD.
So overall the enjoyment is great which is why it is one of the more popular animes in North America. So while you are watching this anime you could get so into it that you might want to try and buy that rare legendary card you see in the show.
So overall i'm going to rate this anime an 8/10 because there are too many times when they develop the chracters over and over again...they usually do this during a duel so it gets very annoying because you want to see what cards they are going to play not how sad Tea is because she's afraid that Yugi will lose the duel -_-. So yeah you should also check out the sequels to this anime like Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's because it gives a whole different twist to the kinds of characters that the anime Yu-Gi-Oh can develop as well as fantastic artwork to the monsters.
