Why Yu-Gi-Oh Should Get a Live-Action Adaptation

Yu-Gi-Oh is an anime/manga that most millennials and gen z are familiar with. Based on the manga by Kazuki Takahashi, the anime aired in the United States in the early 2000s and was formative in developing a love for anime in young people’s minds at the time. The manga eventually spawned a highly competitive trading card game as well as numerous spin-offs in the realm of both anime and manga. However, between all the spin-offs and the ever-growing complexity of the story, the core of Yu-Gi-Oh has remained the same: card games.
