Title: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Your experience watching this anime is simply explained in four stages.
Author Kyatsuki Ora
Notes: You can tell how bored I was…but it has some value! Read and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I would never want to own a show about a children's card game.
Stage 1 - At first, you watched the show because it's about your favorite children's card games…Then you realized none of the characters ever followed the rules.
Stage 2 - Then you watched it for all the amazing magic tricks, technological advances, and Egyptology… Then you realized, again, that all the stuff they said is wrong and you'll never find a dead pharaoh and watch him reincarnate into your best friend with the crazy hairdo.
Stage 3 - Afterward, you think you're watching this just to se hot anime guys/gals play some children's card games…To your horror, you're forced to acknowledge that, except for one filler character (Serenity), everyone is shagging another person/thing of the same sex, whether real, imaginary, or made in China.
- Edit: Never mind. Serenity has informed me that she has been in a long and passionate relationship with her pulse reader. … Oops, I'm not supposed to tell you that. ;)
Final/paradise stage - If you have reached this stage, congratulations. You are one of the few who chose to not stay in depression and pull yourself threw to this stage. Wanting to change the wretched state of said anime, you start to write copious amount of fanfiction and has been doing so ever since in order to construct your perfect Yu-Gi-Oh! world. … Or maybe you just want to unleash your fantasies on unsuspecting young children who are playing said card game…Oh well, whatever suits your fancy.
