    To be honest, I really only liked the original Yu-Gi-Oh all the way through. GX was great at the beginning and end, but I kinda got bored and lost in the middle. 5D's . And then there's this sad excuse for a show that not only destroyed the Yu-Gi-Oh Series' credibility, but also the card game's. It released overpowered, overused, n00bish cards that take no skill at all to OTK in 10 seconds. And the anime; Space? Seriously? Not to mention the 10 year-old who is a brat and carries around Fi (LoZ reference).moreless

  • Wtf happened to YuGiOh

    I, I, I dont know. I just... don't know. wtf happened to this show? wtf happened to the seriousness and philosophical lessons behind this anime? All that made this show great seems to have been lost after the last episode of DM. Shadow Games and DM really had something going, GX was an extravagant commercial, and 5D's killed itself with CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES. But Zexal? Its just a feeble attempt to recycle the same exact story as was in the golden age but with some doofus 10 year old and a space alien (yes i know he's not from space). My point is this: if you want the glory days of Yugi and his friends back, THEN BRING THEM THE F*** BACK. I'd love to see a series focusing on his emotional turmoil after losing atem, and introducing a new gateway to the Shadow realm. What we got instead was this, this thingmoreless

  • Starts off just okay but gets good at episode 10.

    When this series started out, I just thought it was okay and nothing more. It committed the annoying crime of having side characters who can clearly duel useless when confronted by villains and was just a scenario of the week sort of thing. However, by episode 10, it got much better and more engaging. The story lines got better, it started to have more emotional impact, the duels got better... I still don't care for exceed summoning, but this is a good YGO series. However, I gotta disagree with people when they say it's better than 5D's. 5D's, as far as story goes, was a lot like a mix of Duelist and season 0 in which it was not only serious but a lot of the conversations outside of duels were about a lot more than just strengthening one's deck. Still, at least Zexal doesn't have card games in space like everyone feared it would. I also like the fact that Yuma's actually a noob instead of an expert like every other main character. That's kind of a breath of fresh air from Jaden, who came across to me as an insufferable Gary Stu. All in all, give this one a shot. You may like it.moreless

  • Though not without flaws, Yugioh Zexal still surpasses Yugioh GX and Yugioh 5Ds.

    Yugioh Zexal, like mentioned above, surpasses Yugioh GX and Yugioh 5Ds, even though it's not as good as the original show. Centering around a 13 year old duelist named Yuma and his friends Brock and Tori, it chronicles his search for cards called "Numbers," while fighting off a bully named Shark. The premise is original enough, as well as the addition of a new concept of cards called XYZ monsters. The characters are somewhat annoying though, Brock being snobbish, Tori not giving enough to the show, and Shark being a stereotypical and generic bully. Yuma, the main character, is easily the best character, and will probably be your favorite character. The best thing about him though, is that he loses duels a lot more often than Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei making him seem actually human and not just some dueling genius. You can actually relate to him. The duels are well choreographed, and the artwork looks very nice.



    Ultimately, Yugioh Zexal is a great show with an original premise, well choreographed duels, and good artwork. The characters, though most of them are somewhat jerkish, won't get in your way of enjoying the show (hopefully), which is a fine show indeed.moreless

  • Amazing anime, and it's a lot like theoriginalDuel Monsters as well.

    If you were a Duel Monsters fan, then you should definitely check out ZeXal. What's ZeXal about? Well, it's about a kid named Yuma Tsukumo who helps a spirit named Astral find him memories. Everytime Yuma wins a duel against someone who is using a "Numbers" card, Astral regains a piece of his memory. Oh Yuma also carries around a necklace which holds Astral when Astral isn't wandering around next to Yuma.Sound familiar?

    I'm actually really enjoying this series so far. I really wasn't planning on watching it, but then I saw the first episode of the 4Kids dub and that really caught my attention. Now I'm watching both the sub and dub and I can't wait for the next episode!!

    The characters are amazing. It's nice to see the main character being someone who is pretty much useless when it comes to dueling, but he has a lot of spirit and enthusiasm; you can't help but cheer for him!

    If you haven't seen ZeXal yet, what are you doing reading this review?? Go, watch ZeXal and be amazed!
