I actually kinda like this show. It can't compare to Shaman King, though.

Yugi is a kid. He is posessed by the spirit of a 5000 year old Egyptian Pharoah who is an extreme gambler.

I'm getting so sick and tired of these cartoons about kids playing games which are more than games. Pokemon was just kids that made their pets duke it out. Now we got this Yu-Gi-Oh crap where the play with cards. There's also Beyblade on ABC Family that is just kids fighting with tops. And the thing that really ticks these off if that kids today love this stuff. Yeah, that sounds like fun. Watch a show about some kids playing a souped-up M:tG. Kids today should watch Ninja Turtles. That's where the action is. They're fighting for real, not with some silly cards.

You just answered the question right there.

The reason why that sort of stuff is popular is because when a kid is playing the game, they are doing the EXACT same thing that they see on TV. They can not only identify with the characters through the show, who may have personalities and lives and problems at school similar to their own, but they can identify 100% with what the characters are doing when they buy the merchandise. That's something TMNT can never capture, because, well, kids can't become turtles and fight the bad guys. They can only pretend to, and that's what makes all the difference.

Sayonara.

Yeah, but when what they do on the cartoon is nothing like playing a card game. Huge monsters don't appear out of nowhere and fight. When the kids do it, it's just M:tG or something similar. If the cartoon were just about playing cards without all the monsters, no one would watch it. They should sell their cards and buy some TMNT figures, a much better investment.
