Yu-Gi-Oh?
 

What the hell is this Yu Gi Oh (sp?) and why is it killing the Turtles in ratings?

Some dumbass cartoon about card games! If you ask me though, Shaman King is much better than that other anime crap!

... here we go again

http://www.tvtome.com/YuGiOh/

Bad news is it has a lot of Eps to get through, think of the show as pokemon, but with out the monsters threating the lives of the kids

I view Yu-gi-oh as a crappy mix of Pokemon and Cardcaptors

Yes lets play a card game to decide the fate of the world

at least in pokemon humamns get hurt from time to time by teh beasts

And I swear this si ture, I was looking for new Turtle figures and I saw 3 kids in a fist fight in the middle of an isle over little PVC YGO figures, it was the most pittiful thing I'd ever seen, looking back I probly should have stoped them, but I was trying to supprese laughter

Re: Yu-Gi-Oh?
 

Yugioh is what came out when Pokemon was starting to die off (that obiously hasn't happend, as Ruby/Sapphire sold 4,000,000 copies with in the first 3 months of release)

Konami decided to cash in on the collectable monster TCG/videogame/tvshow/merch. craze that Tomogochi started, and Pokemon exploded (with a little Digimon mixed in).

I honestly can not see why it's so popular. I've heard the manga is a lot better than the TV show, but I seriously doubt many of the kids dumping their money in to it have read that. It also disturbs me that the card game is so popular... it's a REALLY bad game.

The Cardcaptors CCG that Upper Deck (the printers and distributers of the English yugioh cards) made was a beter game, and by all TCG/CCG standards it was awful. Hell, Marvel Recharge and Overpower are better games.

man yu-gi-oh sucks.

I kinda like Yu-Gi-Oh. Not near as much as TMNT but still...
I like it enough to have bought a Winged Dragon of Ra card on ebay. I'm not talking a crappy Hong Kong copy either. Hmm...maybe I should use my card to take over the world??
:lol: :lol: :lol:

in two years time, that card is going to be worth nothing..... so you should have waited XD.

take Blue Eyes White Dragon from the LoB packs, it's price dropped pretty fast (at least around here... its now only like 10-15 bucks).

I hate Yu-Gi-Oh. I was babysitting my cousin last summer and thats what he wanted me to play, Yu-GI-Oh. :x

Yu-Gi-Oh is'nt as bad as Gayblade..I mean Beyblade..I mean Gayblade..

I watched that show today (right after TMNT so i don't know why it would decrease the TMNT ratings) and i think it sucks. It is a crappy anime that is based on a card game. The cards, when played, turn into monsters and fight your opponent. I think they should call it "The crappy card game where monsters come alive and fight other monsters".

Ahh, but I found a sucker who was selling it for only 20 bucks with a buy it now option. :D I got lucky. There is no way in hell I would pay the $50 that thing usually goes for though. After that I just went back to increcing my video game collecton (like that TMNT PCB board).

I will grudgingly admit to being obsesed by this show a bit, more due to the monsters than anything else. I practicly had to hit my self with a boat oar to keep my self from getting the Joey card pack simply to get the baby dragon adn the chance of getting gariziees. Luckaly the feavor finallt broke on me, and I can ridicul it now. And I never bought any of the crap, but I do own 2 cards, one I found in a parking lot that was beat up, and the other I found at walmart laying on teh ground (If I was good I'd have turned it in to lost and found, but that seemed kinda stupid for one card, and the guy was loaded with swords in the pic)

But if you want o see the depths of my obsesion use the seasrch funtion at the top of the page and type in Yu-Gi-Oh to see my secret shame, yes I did it I'm ashamed I did it, but I did it

HAHA I saw it. Thats quite in depth. And over my head.

Why is it so popular?

WHO KNOWS?

Everyone that bashes this I included have to understand that times have changed and kids now like diffrent things then we did ten years ago. it may sound stupid to you why they would like it but i bet 10 years ago there were people who were older that hated Turtles, Ghostbusters, He-Man, Ytansformers, ThunderCats, GI Joe etc. I personally hate Anime i can't stand it. I will always like normal American animation always and forever. But if kids wanna love anime good for them i'm not going to complain and say when i was little it was better. I would love it if kids got into the whole 80s revival thing and the boys liked Turtles, He-Man cartoons etc got the toys and the girls got into My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite again it be cool to see it all big again. But that probably won't happen.

I say let the kids like whatever they want to and let us enjoy our old school cartoons and good memories.

I saw an episode once, I thought the main guy was a kid but the voice sounds like a 40 year old.

I must believe in the cards, I only have one chance.

*pulls up a card*

DAMMIT!!! this card cant help me at all!! stupid beleif in cards :x

The show SUCKS ASS BEYOND BELIEF!!!! (Even in japanese)

The manga on the other hand is 10000000 times better than the show (At least the portion that wasn't dubbed on american tv)
