REVENGE2 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I'm sorry, but there's just something about the idea of ancient egyptians with Japanese names fighting with monsters (or against them...haven't been watching the show much, so...) that I really like. But then having the 'game' be re-made into a card game is kind of...how should I put this... [SIZE=4]WRONG[/SIZE] Don't get me wrong. First off, I like Yami...or whatever the name of the cool Yugi is. I like his eyes. They're thin, but not so thin as to make him a bad guy. And I want his leather suit. The one with no sleeves? Black? And the chain that the puzzle is on. Although, not the puzzle itself. Just the chain. And I like the idea of seven (seven?) ancient artifact things called "Mellenium Such-and-Such". Sounds cool. And I like...well, okay, that's pretty much all I like. Oh well. Am I missing something deeper in the series that has made it so popular? Tell me.

DeathBug Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 All forms of art are subjective and are therefore a matter of taste. If you do not like the show, and have seen it a suffiecient amount of times to draw a fair conclusion, there is nothing I or anyone else can say to change your mind. The series is popular for the same reason any series is popular: a lot of people like it. I know that may sound stupid, but there is no accounting for taste. I could tell you why I like it, but my reasons would be different from Hypershadow's reasons, or Altron Gundam's reasons or Solo Termain's reasons or anyone else's reasons. I'm afraid that if you don't like the series, you just don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I must agree with Beelzebumon, it all depends on your own reasons to like it. On a different not on this subject, the card game is very fun, I like it cause i never understood how to play Magic or L5R or other complex card games, to me Yu-Gi-Oh's card game is the only one i would really like. So that's all I have to say on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Altron Gundam Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Well the part about Japanese named monsters, lol. If you actually look at the normal Eng. translations from the original JP names the names are normal, such as Android Psycho Shocker, not the retarded Jinzo. If UD or the dubbers weren't so horribly moronic in naming their monsters, or if you'd focus less on the dub, its actually a good series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrel_Dragon19 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Well I can tell you one reason it is such a hit, because the TV show and the card game are starting to tie in together with the release of Labyrinth Of Nightmare Pack, there are a larger number of cards that are in the Battle City Tornament. So Duelist Kingdom didn't really start it off good in my opinion because the card game and TV show didn't tie in. But now that the TV show and CCG have roughly the same rules, it has been much more amusing. Glad to have been of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to like it but can't seem to get with it, then you might have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus_storm Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 i'll tell you why i like yu gi oh. i like it because i like ancient egyptions..i USED to be able to make a list of most of the gods and goddesses of the ancient world (pre revolution) however my computer knowledge has unfortunatly surpassed that! any way. the egyptions were honourable, they fought and died for their kin... not like today's society.
