what are you talking about, the anime, the video game(s), or card game? anyways ..
:: the anime
not bad, although the "heart of the cards" really bugs the hell out of me (scroll up and read Radish's post)
:: video game(s)
not sure, but if anyone's played any of those video games, please post your opinion on them! i've seen them in stores, but i haven't found any accurate reviews yet
:: card game
pretty cool, although the rulebook doesn't explain a lot of stuff. i looked around on a few message boards and i still don't understand all the rules @_@ (and when it comes to card/board games, i'm a rule fanatic.) maybe one of the newer sets has a better rulebook. yea, they got a lot elements from Magic: the Gathering but it's still pretty neat. check it out if you can afford it or find it at an affordable price. around here, it's one of the new "in" things and the prices are freakin' insane. those bastards have too much power, i tell you

Anyone recommend Yu Gi Oh?
What are you talking about ? The anime series or the video games ?
Well,I like Digimon very much . All the three seasons showed in Brazil (the fourth is coming here next year) began quite uninteresting,but then the story became very interesting,and then I couldn't stop watching it ! The 3D scenes in Digimon are very fast,but very cool ! You should watch it ! Now,about Digimon games,most of them are from PSX,and they are just average (except Digimon World 3,which is a little better) .
About Yu-Gi-Oh!,I never watched it or played its games,but the anime scenes in TV commecials are very interesting ... it looks like Pokémon,but with cards instead of pokémons and with a mature,well-developed story (not sure about it,though) .
I can be any person in the world...Maybe I'm this person right in front of you...or not!

Both but mostly the game.

I don't follow Digimon.
Yugioh isn't bad if you're remotely interested in card games, but then, if you don't like that sissy anime, pick up the manga. It is pure evil stuff where people can die or otherwise get screwed-up if they lose a game (well, at least, before they introduce the card game). But anyway, the card game on the show is so blatently rigged, you either let that dominate your mind or just forget about it and get caught up in the whole WWE of it all.
For the most part, the only thing Yugioh I have is Eternal Duelist Soul for GBA. From what I've read it's the only Yugioh game that utilizes the real card game's rules, and if you even remotely liked Card Fighters Clash, you should give this one a shot. I play it just as much as I did CFC back in the day. Of course with every card game I always hate the fact that you can't have a serious deck without using certain cards all the frickin' time (stuff like Raigeki, Monster Reborn, or Seven Tools of the Bandit, you'd be crazy to not use those, for instance), but at least you can mess around in it (too bad it only allows you to make one deck, though). My most fun deck is the Red Eyes Black Dragon fusion deck, it's ridiculous how many ways you can power up the Red Eyes Black Dragon in this game.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I also provide nothing useful to the gaming community.

I gave up hope on Digimon before the anime even came out. If the anime came out a year after the trend died out in America, I would have still liked it, but try three or four years. If not, more.
Honestly, Yugioh was never supposed to be popular. Why is it that way in the States? You got me.
If you're going to watch these series, watch the original and not the dubs. A lot of material was taken out in both series. It's like taking away parts Kasumi slapping Satoshi. You take out scenes like those and such, you're killing the series. Pocket Monsters got sliced up big time when it first arrived here.
Still, I don't think they're worth your time. You're better off watching a series like Excel Saga, which is good from what I have heard. That or Noir as what I have been watching recently.
Digimon in America was Saban's awnser to the Poke-merica craze. Pure and simple.
It just so happens that Digimon happened to have had more super-dramatic DBZ-style power up endlessly fighting, and mega-epic fantasy adventure themes and "pink slime" humor that lent itself toward the kids in the audience that consider themselves too "mature" for Pokemon.
As for Yuugi-boy, He's the heir to the Poke-mania throne. As "King of Games", he lends himself to ENDLESS marketing possiblities. Americans just LOVE that kinda thing....
Now, I think the US/Japan censor issue is a dead issue. Everyone knows that ARMED GAURDS that wave FINGERS at people and threaten to SEND THEM TO ANOTHER DIMENSION is the AMERICAN WAY! Especially where consumer culture kids are concerned.
I doubt Excel Saga would be worth watching if it were picked up by 4 Kids Entertainment for distribution....
But then again... I think Ultimate Muscle *is* rather funny....
yeah and I draw stuff too...
