Yu Gi Go (sp?) is a an even bigger mystery to me.
Yu-Gi-Oh is about this kid, Yugi, who finds an artifact that has an Egyptian pharaoh's spirit in it. Whenever he needs to call upon this spirit, his personality and voice change completely.
There's seven of these bastard artifacts, and they can destroy the universe in the wrong hands, so Yugi and his annoying-ass friends have to find them all. The bad guy of the first season, Pegasus (who is by all admittance the coolest character in the show and the only thing done right) wants all the pieces as well, so he holds a Duel Master (a popular card game played out on holographic game decks) tournament at his estate. Yugi faces the other competitors, and eventually pseudo-teams up with his rival, Seto Kaiba (the programmer of the Duel Master systems).
So yeah, it's another cash-in animé. At least Pokémon had some class.
The saddest thing of all is that it's a Konami product. I used to be pissed that Konami lost it's signature double wave logo, but after Yu-Gi-Oh, I understood. Konami doesn't live up to that logo anymore.
At least there's some
Gradius cards...
I've never played the games, but the Pokemon cartoon used to be pretty funny back in the day. I haven't watched it in years, but the first 50 or so episodes were really good.
Yeah the first season was great. Anything after the second season is SHIT.
