Yu-Gi-Oh! GX begins 10 years after the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! with the lead character Judai (Jaden) Yuki obtaining a Winged Kuriboh card from Yugi Muto, the renowned Duel Monsters champion, while on his way to a Duel Academy.
In the fictional universe of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Duel Monsters, a popular card game created by Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford) is widely enjoyed. Referred to as a "duelist," a player of the game summons monsters and activates Spell and Trap Cards through Duel Disk technology to evoke various strategies to defeat his/her opponent in battle. A Duel typically begins with each contestant being given a life total of 4,000 Life Points, which can be decreased as opposing players "attack" him/her with their monsters or trigger the abilities of individual cards. The objective is to reduce an opponent's Life Points to zero, and therefore be declared the winner. Although conceived solely as a card game, Duel Monsters' roots are mythological in nature, and many exploit its otherworldly secrets for their own personal gain.

i say so because it was funny and serious and interesting at time though, did not live up to the originals hype but was good, more for kids though
I wasn't saying that the story is bad, heck I liked the story. but you lose so much in the translation and the actually dubbing that when you watch it with subs its like a completly different story, RaveMaster is an excellent example, I have both the japanes and the english, and I've watch the same episode and there is just more to the story than what the dubbed version seem to.
Oh God! watching this I'm reminded why I watch anime in japanese, the dubbing!!!! I ended up watching the whole series just to laugh at the dubbing, the story in itself is rather good, but be prepared to laugh at the horrible dubbing!!
If you liked the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series then you will propably like the GX series as well.
The story is worst than the original, the dialogue and entertainment are fairly the same but the animation is way better.
In my opininion this anime is much better than the 5D's series so if you want to kill some time this anime is higly recommended.

I believe that the Japanese original dub would be better for it. It would rather funny and nice to heard the voice. But still, english dub is still okok. Looking forward the japanese dub with english sub~~

GX is one of the best Yu=Gi-Oh! Animation I've ever watched. I love the Japanese Version better than the English one. How funny is GX in Japanese. I love the character so much. Wonder if there will be Duelist'School in real world someday?
