About Yu☆Gi☆Oh!

Meet Yu☆Gi☆Oh! (遊☆戯☆王), an action, comedy and fantasy anime by Toei Animation (1998). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Yuugi is a somewhat frail young boy who happens to be a big fan of gaming of any kind. But when he solves a long-lost egyptian puzzle he is granted all the gifts of darkness.

As things develop, now when confronted with danger and injustice, he transforms into a much darker and risky form, and proceeds to dish out the justice and punishment for those who so richly deserve it.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Megumi Ogata as Yuugi Mutou and Megumi Ogata as Yami Yuugi. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 27 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
