Then again Yu Gi Oh is a cartoon about children's card games.

If anyone ever wonders why animé doesnt have main stream acceptance stuff like this is their answer.
I'll give you beyblades, but Yu-Gi-Oh? You've never seen a worldwide tournament with most of the population being 16-30 year olds playing it, have you? It's a strategy card game with anime-style art, great for mathematical skills in the upper middle - high school (Grade 7 - 12) zone.

I don't play it anymore like that, but it's not a "children's game". Just like videogames aren't, despite media attention, "solely for kids".

Yeah Beyblades were kick-ass and the show wasn't half bad either.

But that new Metal Fusion shite they have now....no, just no.

I actually liked the first seasons. I still have them, but I am not glad the best ones were the ones form the manga/show. I always play defense and I even had a group, sorta.

But I don't shout LET IT RIP when I play, the game itself is pretty fun!

But the blades hurt like hell when you pick them up when they still spin. >_< I always grip them firmly to stop them.

How could I forget. Beyblade along with Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh kept me alive as a child.

We used to try and find the most dangerous combinations possible. Some weight-rings and attack ring combinations let you use 2 or 3 weight rings, then we'd fill the whole thing up with blu-tac for extra weight.

That fucker used to tear through WALLS.

I loved this show as kid. Even if don't watch it now or the new series that came out not long ago. I still remember most of the charactors names, bitbeast (sorry if i spelled that wrong)and they're attacks. Thats more than what My friends can say :). Evenlow as a kid I could see some of the stupide thing in shows ploit.

Now that I think about I like the way you could take the toys apart and reasemble them with new parts, that was cool.

One last thing out of the three series. wich one one do you remember the most, or the toy it self?

For me, season one. Didn't like two and when three came out I was strating to loss intreast but from what I so better than two.

Man, good times. Back then online gaming was for PC's only and I hadn't even heard on the word "Intercourse"

And it was the first anime I ever watched, and I didn't even realise it at the time.

I loved those things, me and my friends always got together to battle with them.

I usually lost.

It was actually a reference to that whole Yu Gi Oh Abridged thing that people I know over the internet keep talking about.

Children's card games are SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Never got into Beyblades always thought it was kinda weird, tops n' what not.

same here, sadly pokémon is the only one I can admit I still play, beyblades mysteriously went missing one day and I just forgot about them and ever whenever I was 10 my yu-gi-oh deck was stolen so I had to scrap together a deck of rejects so that was killed aswell

Even when I was younger I never saw an appeal in those things. I mean... they're tops. Just tops. Albeit tops with a name branding and TV show, but still.

I was a Pokemon kid myself... hell, I still love the games. I went through a lot of other phases, like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragonball Z, and whatnot. Never a Beyblades phase, though.

Ahh, the fun times. I remember when the green one came out (first generation, when it was mostly plastic with metal for tips and weight rings), and it beat everyone due to the ball bearings in it helping balance it.

LET IT RIP.
Dude, if we were in the same college I'd totally battle you.

[HEADING=2]Let it Rip![/HEADING]

I don't actually know where mine are at the moment though. Some place in my room back in my parents house.
