New series of Yugioh anime will start in October
Weekly Shonen Jump announced a coming new anime series.
According to the anime topic articles in the 34th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump (available on July 17), a renewed series of Yugioh will start on October 6, 2004.
The working title is 「遊☆戯☆王 DM ジェネックス」"Yugioh Duel Monsters Genex (or Genecs) Or simply Yu-Gi-Oh G"
The drawing in the tankoubon mentioned below is the characters Takahashi sensei designed for the new series.
The new hero is 遊戯十代 "Yugi Juudai (or Judai)" and the story will revolve around a duelist trainig school.
The notable fact is about the hero's name. He has "Yugi" as his family name. It seems he has nothing to do with Mutou Yugi or his family. As for his given name, "Juudai" means "teenage" but contrary to the youthful meaning, it sounds like he is an old-fashioned samurai or something to me due to its homophone which means "of great importance, serious, severe" or "critical"
I think this is good news because it is time for Yu-Gi-Oh! to end. It means it will end before it gets dumb and repetitive. Of course that isn't to say certain eps already were repetitive, but things really spiced up in the Pharoah's Memories arc.
I'll definitely give this new series a chance just to see what it is like, and because it seems to be quite different.
So it's just a matter of time before this gets animated and the R series running in V-Jump gets called off then.
