Yu-Gi-Oh, the Kemetic themed Anime

[Rainbow Mage]

Anyone remember Yu-Gi-Oh? LOL I mean the original one.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is awesome. :yes:

 

[Smokeless Indica]

I agree. I loved the original Yu-Gi-Oh! I didn't like the ones after it though. Did you ever play the card game. I've played it a few times with my fiance a few months ago...............

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Yes I used to play in tournaments. I haven't played in a long time, but I'd be open to it. I still have my deck.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I tried the card game, but I didn't care it that much. Some of the art work was very interesting though. As for the TV show, I never watched it.

Uh, in the original original one, Kaiba had green hair. ^_^

And Yamiyugi was the perfect embodiment of being a good guy while being evil at the same time... and a kid-friendly prototype Jigsaw.

Trust me, guys. If you loved the American dub of Yugioh (which was very good if you ignore all the cheesy friendship speeches), go search for Season Zero. It's awesome.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I think probably the best season of Yu-Gi-Oh, and disturbing and shockingly accurate to ancient Kemetic belief, was Season 2, Battle City. When Marik rejected his tombkeeper duties and became possessed by a demon, that is very accurate to how ancient Egyptians would have viewed a person who dishonors the dead.

Yeah Season O was considered "too dark" for American audiences LOL. You gotta love the sway evangelicals still hold over our airwaves

Bah, that's not primarily evangelicals, but oversensitive parents. Sad. After all, children are the only audience that anime and cartoons ever had. I mean, it's not like a popular television network that focuses on cartoons created an entire segment during night hours dedicated to cartoons that were deemed more appropriate for adults, such as anime dubs that DARED to mention death. :sarcastic
