About Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!

Meet Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (遊☆戯☆王ゴーラッシュ!!), an action, fantasy and sci-fi anime by Bridge (2022). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: After inheriting the company from their parents, siblings Yuuhi and Yuamu Oudou have started to work at the Alien Trouble Consultancy, an organization that hunts aliens. Although they have never encountered aliens before, Yuuhi is desperate to meet one as he believes that an alien has stolen his important item, called the "Earthdama".

Soon after, one day, while searching for extraterrestrial creatures, Yuuhi and Yuamu find an odd spot in the forest where many trees have fallen, forming a scenery similar to a crop circle. As they venture further, they discover a mysterious spaceship and enter it out of curiosity. To their surprise, they come across Yuudias Velgear, an alien from the Velgear Star Cluster.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Romin Kirishima (Tomori Kusunoki) and Gakuto Sougetsu (Natsuki Hanae) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 151 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
