4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT program....but need to release DVDs quicker! September 24, 2006

By T. Adams

As written in the other reviews, this is the first 6 episodes of Season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh GX. HOWEVER, the show was NOT cancelled, as someone mentioned in their review. The first season had 52 episodes. It went off during the summer (replaced by Pokemon), but returned in the Fall with Season 2. It's currently playing here in the USA on Cartoon Network at 5:30pm EST.

Now, do I love this one as much as the original YuGiOh? No, not as much! Oh, how I miss little Yugi, Joey, Tristin and Tea...at least there's the recent Capsule Monsters series to tide me over. However, this series is very entertaining and fills the void left by the Original series. If you are as big a fan of YuGiOh as I am, then you'll find a place in your heart for this show. Some episodes can be redundant, but the show and it's "cast" still pull you in like Yugi and his friends did.

My biggest complaint for this DVD release is that some cartoons, like YuGiOh, that have 52 episodes a season, I say they need to make either 2 disc sets that contain 13 episodes (this would mean 4 volumes would complete the series/season). Otherwise, they need to release these volumes FASTER. At this rate, we they will finish releasing Season 1 of GX about the time Season 3 starts (and YES, they are working on a Season 3 for NEXT Fall...5 episodes made so far, already). FURTHERMORE, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF THE VOLUMES FOR THE ORIGINAL YUGIOH SERIES. They stopped after volume 2 of Waking the Dragons series (Season 4) and who knows if we will see any volumes for Season 5 (the Final Season). Come on 4Kids!
