Where to Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the US

Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Crunchyroll, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Yu-Gi-Oh! GX from the crowd. Ten years after the Ceremonial Battle, a teenage boy named Judai Yuuki (Jaden Yuki) heads off in order to join the Duel Academia (Duel Academy) located on a remote island off the coast of Japan. There he meets his fellow students and gains a few friends, along with a few enemies. Judai is put into the lowest rank of Osiris Red (Slifer Red), but he continues to test his skills against the students and faculty to prove his worth as a Duelist and earn the respect of everyone around him. KENN and Masami Suzuki lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2004–2008.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
