I wonder what people would have made of that show without 4Kids Editing of it, and the standard first season (and pretty lackluster second season). The story of Judai got incredibly dark (much more than even that Season Zero stuff) It was actually pretty intense. And I have to say, the final 3 series of that show (in Japanese - I can't stand the English voice actors) were actually very good. It was at the point where they started to really push on the God Cards that I turned to the GX series hoping for some stupid fun. Towards the end of that series with Yugi as the main character was actually quite annoying to watch in the end - I've always felt they botched the Ancient Egypt season. I will say though, that for all the raving and nostalgia people have for the original show that first season is atrocious (in English and Japanese - not talking about Season Zero which has its own unpolished charm). I'm sure there is still some appeal to it, but don't think I have the urge to go back again (at least, not unless I found someone else who was into it). Usually I'd try and catch up on the show but they simply keep making them too quickly for me to catch up. I'd get into it in waves where I was super into it and then fall off again. I used to really like this game but never really had anyone to play with so I just collected the cards, I've still got boxes full of them (and Pokémon cards too).
