A spin-off show almost done right
Yes this is better than Yugioh GX. The problem with the first spin- off show was the bland characters, insufferable dialog, tedious duels that aren't very interesting and overall just didn't have the original tone as the original series.This show was the opposite.
1. It's got great characters. I love the main hero Yusei! He's smart, calm, nice and everything else you would want in a hero. The side characters are TONS better. Jack is a funny jerk, Crow is a hot- head, the two twins are cute and Akiza....is basically a bit annoying. At least she has more involvement than the other two female leads.
2. The voice acting is different depending on who you are. On one hand new fans would like it but for me...it's distracting. Yusei sounds exactly like Tristan from the original and Jack sounds like Bakura from the original. I wish they hired different voice actors so it didn't bother me as much. Other than them the voice acting isn't too bad.
3. The duels are either hit or miss. On one hand they can exciting and make you want to know who's going to win but then it starts becoming boring. I think it doesn't help that the characters are on the motorcycles. Yes those are cool but I'm too distracted by the vehicles moving than the card game which is not a positive sign. Plus it doesn't help that they would randomly cut away to the cards and show attack and defense points. That really bugged me.
4. The animation is great! It's a lot better from the first spin- off. Now everything doesn't look so bright during the scary scenes and the characters don't look like something a fan would draw. This looks like a TV show. Well done.
Overall it's pretty good as far as Yugioh spin-offs go. It's my favorite of the spin-offs with GX being last and the original first. Yugioh fans should watch it.
score 7/10
