I remember when I was little and I was so amused by how all the anime characters looked. I loved how they were dressed and how big their eyes were. Anime is something that stood out to me from all other cartoons.
One show that I loved watching, was Yu-Gi-Oh!, it's about a boy named Yugi and his best friends Joey, Tristan, and Tea. They share a love for a card game called Duel Monsters! It's a card-battling game in which players put different mystical creatures against one another in creative and strategic duels! Yugi and his friends would go on a journey and duel against people that they come across and I find it entertaining to watch! Here are my reasons why I love this show:
1. The design of the millennium puzzle:
I'm a fan of old fashion things and I love how it's an Egyptian item in the series. Yugi took FOREVER to put all of the puzzle pieces together. However, the puzzle instills Yugi with an ancient spirit, such a Pharaoh or Yami Yugi, and the two work together to form a stronger, more confident duelist!
2. Seto Kaiba is a sarcastic smart-ass:
Kaiba is a guy that always wants to defeat Yugi at playing Duel Monsters. Whenever he sees Yugi and his friends, he comes up with these funny/sarcastic/clever ways of talking to them that blows my mind. He's a rich guy and even though he can be harsh and stuck up, there are some things that I would just LOVE to high five him on.
3. Dark Magician Girl:
She looks so happy and prepared to battle every single time! I love the pink and the blue together and I remember how much I used to draw her when I was little. Sometimes she would even strike a pose before she attacks a monster! How can you not love her?
4. Yugi/Yami Yugi's Determination
I really like how both Yugis, whether the real one or Yami, are so determined when it comes to dueling against someone. They don't brag or carry a big ego, they just play within the heart of the cards! Also, no matter which Yugi, he is known as the king of games! I love people in general who are good at something and don't make themselves look cocky.
5. All of the dueling cards looked so cool:
Yu-Gi-Oh! had the coolest trading cards that I used to collect; I'm pretty sure that they are still in my room! I had so many cards in a little box! I can't say how many cards do I have exactly, but you can tell by how much I loved this show.
6. The symbolism of friendship:
Yugi cares deeply about his friends and his friends care about him too. They created a symbol of friendship on their hands just to remind each other that no matter what, someone is by their side. Looking at their friendship makes me smile a lot.
Yu-Gi-Oh! for me, is the kind of show that will always have a special place in my heart. This was my most favorite show as a child and right now, I'm happy that it's on Netflix. It brings back all of the great memories and I'm glad that it was a part of my life.
