Crunchyroll is digging back into the Yu-Gi-Oh! catalog as they’ve now brought the first season of the series – in its original Japanese language form with subtitles – onto the service. That means ninety-nine episodes of this classic show to dig into. Unfortunately, it’s very limited as to who it’s available to as it’s only open to viewers in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and Ireland.
Plot concept: Meet Yugi and his best buds Joey, Tristan and Téa. They share a love for the newest game that’s sweeping the nation: Duel Monsters! Legend has it 5000 years ago, ancient Egyptian Pharaohs used to play a magical game very similar to Duel Monsters. This ancient game involved magical ceremonies, which were used to foresee the future and ultimately decide one’s destiny. They called it the Shadow Games. Since the game used so many magical spells and ferocious creatures, it wasn’t long before the game got out of hand and threatened to destroy the world.
