That's 45 chapters though. That's not 38 volumes with about 10 chapters each. Plus, they couldn't do that because of all of the individual single stories in the beginning.

My belief is that they could start out by doing two stories per episode (have them separated by the commercial break spot at the halfway point) except for the stories that took more than 1 manga chapter like Death T and the Dark RPG. Those would probably need 2-3 episodes each. Duelist Kingdom could be done in roughly 25 episodes, Battle City would be the biggest with about 30 episodes, while the Memories arc would be about 15-20, with the final 2 episodes of the show being the Atem/Yugi duel.

So I watched the first 3 episodes to Yu-Gi-Oh! VRains and I'm pretty much done. It was boring. There was way too much exposition going on, too many new rules introduced, some of which made no sense, and nothing is really at stake given it's all part of a virtual world. It's pretty much Yu-Gi-Oh! meets Tron, but it feels like they also forgot the card game aspect of the show with all of the virtual world talk. Not that that would be an issue if the thing was at least entertaining to watch. Oh well, at least I have Dark Dimensions to look forward to next month.

Yeah these three episodes have not been that good. Though since the show just started it is only normal that nothing is at stake just yet. I do hope the show goes more easy on the exposition and show use more of the game or this will be a long trip for me.

The problem is that there is nothing here that makes me want to watch the next 150+ episodes.

Vrain is now on crunchyroll to watch subbed weekly

I won't mind a remake of Season Zero and Duel Monsters. I find the Duel Monsters anime to hold up badly. There was way too many 2 or 3 part episodes of one card game. Most card battles can be over in a single episode.

it shame toei want let go of the first 7 volume anime adaption right i mean NAS need to do it. i think fans are demanding it as well alot more.

Got two new Number Cards last night! Yay!

For me, it is the music that really makes Duel Monsters watchable.

Duel Monsters had too much filler, too many two or three part episodes and I feel like the animation is not that great (Even for early 2000's standers). It could need a new anime adaption of the manga.
