Right, now we got that out of the way, strap on your Millenium puzzles, hold on to your pieces of Exodia, let’s re-watch Yu-Gi-Oh! *insert sexy secret transformation here*Įpisode 1 of 224 *gulp*, is known as “The Heart of the Cards”. Some duels go as many as SIX episodes, so I’ll try to focus the bigger ones in individual pieces too. Like Doctor Who, I review stories as opposed to episodes.
– I’ll hand out scores after every part of the story, at the end. And do you really want to read a 20,000 word piece? – I’m probably going to review these episodes 5 at a time, in relatively bite size portions. – I’m going to assume you have some awareness of the show, because seriously why else in God’s name would you read this otherwise, BUT I will do some explaining where it makes sense. As Drew Carey said so often: “The points don’t matter”, and neither does this.
And TV works by an entirely different set of rules. Yu-Gi-Oh has NEVER played it strictly to the official game. – The actual card game doesn’t matter to me. Now, before we go on, let me establish a few ground rules: If I somehow get through all of this, you have my permission to shoot me. How many episodes do you ask? 224, across five seasons. Until that miracle day comes, I thought it would be a fun idea to go back through the show’s history and review it as it went on. I’m 23 in two weeks time and yes I agree, I’m badly in need of a girlfriend. Y’know, back when TV was actually worth watching.ġ4 years later, here I am.
I was a mere 9 year old at the time, and pretty much watched every single episode on a Saturday morning when Sky showed that double bill every week. I grew up with two shoes I idolized more than any other – Top Gear, when it returned in 2002, and Yu-Gi-Oh, which Sky One first showed in the United Kingdom in 2001. Not full-time, I was never a big comic book guy, or watched copious amounts of gay anime like Crekkan, but I like many kids born in the 90’s, watched a fair share of cartoons. For those unaware about yours truly, make no mistake, I am a part-time nerd.
