![]() The series isn't what it used to be, but that doesn't mean it can't change its ways. Adapting the first 59 chapters of progenitor manga, the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime series from 1998 brought to life these very different adventures of Yugi Moto and friends. But if he's going to continue making YGO: TAS episodes (at a surprisingly slow pace, mind you) then I recommend getting rid of the voice actors and stop reusing jokes. Yu-Gi-Oh initially functioned in a monster-of-the-week format, but without Duel Monsters, and high stakes games of life and death in every episode. I really hope this show doesn't fade away like Monsters did. All the characters have the same lovable personalities that they did in YGO: TAS. I laughed several times from some fantastically timed gags, and even some pop culture references made me laugh they were so well done. But the Pilot episode of this recent series is a fresh new start. And the new voice actors really don't help. Why? Mainly because the series now rely on recycled jokes from past episodes and pop culture references. What used to be a fantastically funny series with jokes worthy of Monty Python has now become merely another comedy show. I hate to say this, but I honestly do think Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series is finally starting to lose its edge. This series hasn't really began to take off yet, but I must say the first episode very much impressed me.
