labyrinthknight7 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Who else thinks that the original Yu-gi-oh was the best, you know the one with Kaiba's green hair and the better characters. That series was better, having a better range of games instead of the same cards and strategies every episode. Things changed, some of the other games looked a little cool, and the characters actually got hurt so you could tell that things were serious with a small comic relief thrown in between matches.

Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 First series anime > anything based around card games. The original manga > the first series anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Crab said it all. I need more of the first season/season zero manga, I have 3 volumes of it in French, and having heard about how off the wall the Kaibas were, it sounds ace =D.

Guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The "Season Zero" anime was already toning down the manga. For example, in the first anime episode, Ushio and Yami play a game with a deck of playing cards and a tower that ends with Ushio being given the illusion of being eaten by a monster; in the first manga chapter, Yami's game with that same villain involves using a knife to stab through stacks of money on their hands, and leads to attempted murder, with Ushio being given a permanent illusion that leaves and trash are money. Then, in the game in the diner with the escaped convict, the anime has Yami giving the criminal the illusion of burning, whereas he actually burns him to death in the manga... and so on. It wasn't just the early episodes that got toned down, either; the Death-T game involving the psychotic serial killer certainly didn't show up in the anime.

Toffee. Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 [What Crab said] Because even Japanese kids cant take the 'TRUE' Yami. Hes too evil for them. Also:Tomagachi episode/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've never seen season zero, but it sounds great. Where can I watch subbed episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 [What Crab said] Because even Japanese kids cant take the 'TRUE' Yami. Hes too evil for them. Also:Tomagachi episode/10 Oh, yeah, that's another thing: the anime takes simple storylines and horribly corrupts them. The Tamagotchi (or however it's spelled) episode is an excellent example - for some reason, when they made it into an anime, they felt the need to add some completely nonsensical story about human pets or something. They even shifted the first Capmon story from being a simple game with Mokuba to being a creepy obsession of some stalker guy or something.

Cin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Oh yea Miho's creepy stalker. The manga does sound alot better, esp. Seto's punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seto's punishment.[/quote'] Did Seto even have a punishment in the anime? Somehow, their duel supposedly came to a draw (even though BEWD was clearly stronger), so he never suffered the Illusion of Death, so why did he want to get revenge on Yugi?

Cin Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 We got a hint, that he was punished, but it wasn't shown. He wanted the Blue Eyes obviously, and probably the humiliation of the incident back in episode 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted the Blue Eyes obviously' date='[/quote'] ...which he won from Yugi's grandfather before Death-T even started. and probably the humiliation of the incident back in episode 3. The humiliation of having a draw in a game that didn't even follow the rules (with the BEWD failing to attack Yugi)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labyrinthknight7 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I know the first series was a bit dark, but it was still better than a lot of the other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 BEWD didn't want to listen, because Seto wasn't the true owner. He'd come so close to getting the 4th, but was denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 When the gang played D&D with Bakura might just have been the most epic thing in any manga ever. Obviously not counting how Akiyama won the First Round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 When the gang played D&D with Bakura might just have been the most epic thing in any manga ever. Obviously not counting how Akiyama won the First Round. First Round was extremely predictable. Second Round was much more epic. Third Round will probably be even more epic once it reaches the climax.

Umbra Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yeah, you're right about that though. Just read up on some chapters I'd missed, and Yokoya is getting more awesome by the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
