I think the reason the Yugioh animes are so trashy right now is because the lost their charm of the realistic setting. I think moving the series in a futuristic setting killed the entire feel of it. When yugioh started out it was just a bunch of friends playing cards, in a normal city in a normal school. The supernatural elemnts are were cool because they were based on ancient egypt magic and such. Everybody knows about ancient egypt, so it was always familiar to me. Now its all sci fi and plain boring. I would really like for them to kind reboot the anime and just set into a realistic every day slice of life setting again. GX was the best for me because it was aimed at kids and teens making me dream of a school where i have to actually play yugioh in order to pass my exams like that shit was the perfect day dreaming material when i was stressing about exams and such. The whole idea that you have 3 houses and you gotta climb up the ladder, living with your friends chilling out in the school yard was just sooo appealing damn it
