About Yu☆Gi☆Oh!

Yu☆Gi☆Oh! (遊☆戯☆王) arrives as an action anime by Toei Animation (1998), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Yuugi is a somewhat frail young boy who happens to be a big fan of gaming of any kind. But when he solves an ancient egyptian puzzle he is granted all the powers of darkness.

From there, 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.

With action at the core, 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. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 27 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
