    A splendid commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the card game. At first we can see Dark Magician and other classic cards from the first anime series, but this animation is about important cards from the real game like Fallen of Albaz, Six Samurais, AA-Zeus, Sky Striker, etc. and I think this was the right way to do it because I play Yu-Gi-Oh! competitively since 2015 and apart from accessories and some short mangas we do not have animes or movies about cards that do not appear in the original animes. It was glorious to see Six Samurai, a competitive deck from 2007, finally inaction!nnSo i strongly recommend this to anyone who played the card game but i don't think it will be great for those who only watched the anime series and expect to see their characters.

    This is surprising and frustrating. Surprising in that it is a pretty great animation showcase, particularly when it comes to the mechas. Frustrating in that shockingly little of the 6 minute runtime is dedicated to the original series, despite the basis for producing this being the 25 year anniversary of that series. It’s been a while since I played the card game and watched the show, but it’s disappointing to see scant little to actually commemorate Yu-Gi-Oh, even in terms of cameos of the original characters or monsters (with a few exceptions in the latter). I get that this is more of a demo reelshowcasing some strong animation by talented artists, but if you’re going to associate it with Yu-Gi-Oh, throw more of a bone to fans, otherwise just title it “Konami Showcase” and continue from there.nnGiven all that, I can’t say I recommend this, but it’s a short watch that displays some strong animation and, if you can dismiss all expectations, it is a decent showcase that ends with a Konami advertisement for more Yu-Gi-Oh cards that rings hollow.
