I have always loved yu-gi-oh since I saw it in 2001. Despite all of the things said the 4kids version isn't half bad. But I have quickly learned that they cut and alter a lot of things, but I think that Japanese version is way better. I totally dig the story I think it is something you can totally get into. So weather you like watching it in English or you like the nitty grittiness of the original version you shouldn't knock it till you see it.
