2/5
The characters value learning from experience, playing the game fairly, and refusing to give up. For the right age group, this may not be a show parents will actively encourage, but it's not worth fighting over. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 May 14 LOL, 52 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Abdulmohsen A May 8 Best show ever must see See more Jonah S 11/03/2024 When it comes down to it, the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, I'd say, is a weak(er) start to something that becomes much more enjoyable. Part of my initial issue with this first season is that the episodes are a lot less coherent than the next seasons offer. Often you go from one random plot to the next without getting much context as to how the connect, if at all. However, this was reimagined from it's Japanese version for children in English-speaking countries (almost particularly the United States), where much of the content is less graphic/violent, taking away from key plot points they could have used. In the end, the first season is playful, fun, and is worth sitting through to get to the more refined next few seasons. See more Read all reviews
