Review:

Gene threw down a face down to review YuGiOh GX. This series while fun to look at visually has a dub as bad as Duel Masters and makes the dub for the original look fairly nice in comparison. The redone music really doesn’t help this series along either, while the original soundtrack is at least coherent to the series. The kind of all over the place plot doesn’t help the series along either, while awesome in some points, totally filler and hard to watch at others. While better in most respects to Duel Masters but not even living up to the dub of the original YuGiOh, we gave it a 6 out of 10. Sit your card game obsessed 10 year old brother or sister or cousin down with this and hope in 4 or 5 years they move on to some better anime.
