This is an absolutely amazing series, although I have 2 complaints. Firstly, 2 minutes before the episode starts. 2 MINUTES!!!! That's the longest intro I've ever seen in anything. Do they really need that much time to tell us what went on previously? My second complaint, is that there are way too many flashbacks, and quite a few of them could be quite shorter, and just freaking assume the viewer saw the previous episode where that took place.

Great series, but mediocre. The main character needs help from his alter ego to defeat villains. The only good thing about this show is the main character's rival, Seto Kaiba. Otherwise, it does not compare to GX or 5Ds in my opinion.
