    I never read it, but I had some friends in high school who were all about the manga and just scoffed at the show because, apparently, the manga had nothing to do with the card game outside of a single arc, because one of the big players was just the dude who invented the game. The actual story was about the magic jewelry they had, and there was a lot of fucked up shit like Bakura(sp?) eating someone’s eyeball (the dude with the magic jewelry eye can’t remember his name). Or so I’ve been told by them.

    I want that anime. The darker, edgier version that wasn’t about selling a TCG.

      Yes please. But I’d love someone other than Netflix or Disney to pick this up.

      Yep, shadow games had actual repercussions.

      The manga is about various different types of games (not just Duel Monsters) and the darkness revolves around the Millenium Items. Shadow Games are initiated by the wielder of an item and the loser (or worse, cheater) dies.

      The closest we got are the Season 0 and the first movie.

      But don’t disregard the japanese original animes that do involve the new direction. They can get quite dark too.

    You uncultured heathen, the only way to resolve disputes and kidnappings is through a children’s card game!
