I was just rewatching a bit of Yugioh the Abridged Series and it got me thinking about just how much better the first series of the show was. There was so much more variety to the action, and it was surprisingly dark. Also, Joey actually got to do things other than play second fiddle in trading card games. Okay, those things were mainly beat people up, but it was cool and he kind of lost his purpose once everybody decided they could solve all their problems with card games rather than violence.
Even the Manga got worse around Duelist Kingdom if I remember correctly. Not that card games aren't cool, but it's just kind of a shame the story underwent such a tonal shift.
Or maybe I like it more because it was like a secret, edgy version of the show that I found at the right time in my life. Hmm, I really should rewatch it one of these days.
Has anybody else seen the first series of Yugioh? What did you think?
