The series was excellent and awesome and should have gone to the End.

What Parents Need to Know
About Yu-Gi-Oh!
Parents need to know that although kids in the show play "Duel Monsters," the monsters don't engage in much hand-to-hand combat, fighting instead in a virtual, video game style with fire and laser effects. Some of the creatures shown could frighten viewers 5 and under. The series' universe is surreal -- even adults collect cards and "duel."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this show is connected to its companion card game. Do you think there would be a show without the game, and vice versa? Do you have to know how to play the game to enjoy the show? Parents may also want to point out that the series' take on Egyptian history is total make-believe.

I only watched this show because I was five and I was bored.
This was a really stupid show. Apparently we now have the technology to make trading cards real. And, the cards have internal organs! Annoying, boring, copyricht infringement of Pokemon. Watch the original before you see the fake.

The Blatant Commercialism is Disgusting, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!!
This whole show targets young boys into buying cards and other merchandise. It's just brainwashing, purely and simply. What's worse is that it promotes 'nerdy' and 'geeky' behavior that doesn't just limit itself to children, I've seen delusional teenagers obsess over 'dueling' in a digusting fashion, it wouldn't be a proplem, but it's the extent that they obsess, in a money-wasting hobby that accomplishes absolutely nothing, thus they will become unsucessful adults (I'm not blaming this show entirely, but it's a contributing factor.) Mother's Review; Stop it before it starts, instead read a worthwhile book with your child :] (Also the art is unbearable to look at, terrible animation, with unrealistic, flat characters that talk in 'dorky' terms.)
