Which boasts some of the best villains and reveals most of the backstory of our protagonist. By far, the best arc of all of Yu-Gi-Oh, is the Dark Dimension arc. Don't get me wrong, the Shadow Riders had some potential, but were mostly underwhelming and the Society of Light was an interesting concept, but executed poorly. I went a little off track there, apologies, but yes, the story isn't much to look at at first glance, duel academy with a dark twist, but after you unravel the past of the main protagonist Judai (or for you dub watchers, Jaden), you start to really get into the story, past season 2 of course. But overall, it's solid for it's time and the fact that it utilizes no 3D animation of any kind is marvelous and a huge problem with Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds and onward. Yes, the first two seasons are slow and they did make some budget cuts in the animation department early on (Alexis and Zane scene). I might be biased in saying this, but by far, this is the best Yu-Gi-Oh anime of all time.

If you want an anime where the lead characters (plural, not just the main protagonist) grow and continue to shine and work together through the entire series in every season, and the plot is interesting, engaging, and slightly mysterious, then this anime is not for you. It has the typical shounen protagonist, as well as just about every shounen cliche you can find.
#Yu gi oh gx full#
If you like an anime packed full of cliches where it's the main protagonist that handles 99.9% of everything that happens, and everyone else winds up as a cheer squad, then you'll like this anime. The fourth season, with the exception of a couple episodes, was actually painful to watch until the final two episodes.

The third season brought in new characters that all but replaced some of the characters we grew to love in the first two seasons. The third and fourth seasons also completely killed the show. Shou remains as a supporting character throughout the series (with a couple episodes involving him as more than a cheer squad), but it would have been nice to see him and some of the others get a larger role. Shou (Syrus) and Hayato (Chumley) are jokes for the majority of the first season, then eventually fade into the background halfway through the second season (Hayato vanishes completely). GX, like its predecessor, has the WORST assortment of side-kicks in terms of skill level and screen time. However, the characters are extremely flat, especially the protagonist up until the third season where he changes too drastically and suddenly. Unlike its predecessor, GX features your typical headstrong, hot blooded idiot of a main character with a perpetual cheerful attitude and a natural skill for the game. The anime, itself, started off strong with a Jounouchi (Joey)-like protagonist.

If your favorite character doesn't turn out to be Judai, decrease the Overall by 1-2 points since you probably won't enjoy it as much. If your favorite character turns out to be Judai (Jaden), increase the Overall rating by 2-3 points the show is extremely Judai-centric. I suggest, if you can, to watch it subbed subtract 1-2 points from Overall and about 10 points from Sound for the English dub version, because it's that awful. Even the first English dub opening is appropriate for the series and catchy, and is actually better than the dubbing job, itself. Let's start with the beginning.the opening and ending songs (Japanese version) were great the entire way through from what I can remember.
