If you want to watch a card battle game which doesn’t attempt to promote the game cheaply, then stay safe and go for Yu-Gi-Oh. Unless you love the Trading Card Game (which I doubt you have even heard of), please do not go anywhere near this anime. Hearing “Ikke, Bolshack Dragon!” over and over again is just as annoying as “Team Rocket’s blasting off again!”(Pokemon. The way they contradict themselves is epic. For example, a guy can have only five shields, but in the duel that happens in the 2nd episode, a guy gets five extra shields out of nowhere. As if the Duel Masters game weren’t hard enough to understand already, the animation studio further confuses the viewer by having matches that contradict the basic rules of the game. The background score is not impressive either. Once you’re done o_Oing at the lyrics, you will realize what sort of anime you are dealing with. Who’s that kid with the spiky hair? SHOBU! Normal movements are terribly done and the character design is a disaster. If you like Yu-Gi-Oh, then you’re going to absolutely LOATHE this anime, because Duel Masters is, at the end of the day, a Yu-Gi-Oh rip off. +And of course, if you’re already a fan of the Duel Masters TDC, then you can’t go wrong with this anime. +The comedy is at a passable level and you find yourself laughing with AND at the show. +Dubbing is, to an extent, well done in English. It’s pretty entertaining if you understand the concept. I bought a few packs and played it with my friends around 7 years back. +The actual Duel Masters Trading Card Game isn’t half bad. +If you prefer Cartoon Network and Disney type cartoons over actual anime, then this is a real treat.

+If you’re aged 12 or below, then you might actually like this anime.
