Menceritakan sebuah petualangan seorang anak lelaki yang jago dalam permainan video.Yugi Mutou yang tidak mempunyai teman, suatu hari ia diberi hadiah oleh kakeknya sebuah kotak yang berisi kepingan-kepingan puzzle antik, konon disebut sebagai Millenium Puzzle. Setelah bertahun-tahun (versi manga: 8 tahun), kemudian Yugi berhasil menyusunnya dan roh yang berada di dalamnya berhasil keluar dan merasuki tubuh Yugi dan menjadi semacam kepribadian yang lain yaitu Yugi Kegelapan (Yami Yugi).

Plot Cerita

Episode Zero

Awal daripada perkenalan kepada para tokoh. Pada bagian ini, Yugi masih belum terfokus pada permainan kartu Might & Wizard tetapi lebih fokus kepada pengenalan Millenium Item dan permainan-permainan kegelapan (Yami no Game) yang dimunculkan oleh kekuatan para benda benda millenium tersebut, yang mana apabila pemain kalah pada permainan kegelapan biasanya akan mendapatkan hukuman / penalti game kegelapan yang mengerikan melalui mata ketiga (yang akhirnya malah tidak pernah diceritakan lagi asal usul mengenai mata ketiga tersebut pada bagian saga berikut. Sempat diceritakan juga mengenai Duel Capsule, namum kalah populer dengan Duel Monster.

Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon

Kisah Duel Monster, dimulai dari Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, yaitu seorang anak muda yang datang berkunjung ke toko game shop milik kakek Yugi , di dalam toko itu dia melihat sebuah kartu yang sangat legendaris / Langka, diceritakan hanya ada tiga di dunia, yaitu Blue Eyes White Dragon yang dimiliki oleh kakek Yugi . Si pemuda ini berniat membeli kartu ini namun ditolak, keesokan harinya Yugi yang kagum akan kehebatan kartu ini, diam-diam membawa kartu kakeknya ke sekolah. Seto Kaiba yang mengetahui hal itu, menukar dengan kartu palsu namun diketahui oleh Yugi .

Kartu Blue Eyes White Dragon milik kakek Yugi sebenarnya adalah hadiah dari sahabat kakeknya. Pemberian kartu tersebut merupakan tanda terima kasih teman kakeknya karena telah menolongnya saat terjebak di salah satu situs Mesir kuno.

Dendam akan penghinaan ini, Seto Kaiba kemudian membuat sebuah Duel Arena dan memaksa kakek Yugi untuk bertarung, dan ia berhasil memenangkan pertarungan ini dengan 3 buah kartu Blue Eyes White Dragon yang didapatkan dengan kekuasaannya sebagai pemimpin Kaiba Corp., lalu dengan kejamnya dia merobek kartu Blue Eyes White Dragon milik kakek Yugi sehingga hanya Kaiba yang memiliki kartu Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Yugi kemudian balas dendam bertarung, namum sebelumnya ia diberi sebuah deck yang misterius dari kakeknya, yang pada akhirnya mampu mengalahkan tiga Blue Eyes White Dragon (satu satunya monster yang ATKnya terbesar pada masa ini), sekaligus Seto Kaiba, yang telah dipanggil ke dalam arena hanya dengan satu serangan curang dari Exodia.

Duelist Kingdom

Duelist Kingdom merupakan sebuah pulau (lengkap dengan Istana) untuk berduel, Yugi dan Yami Yugi bertarung dengan para duelist yang tersebar di seleruh pulau, untuk menyelamatkan roh kakeknya yang dikurung didalam televisi.

Untuk dapat bertarung dengan Raja terakhir adalah Pegasus, mereka harus mengumpulkan sejumlah bintang yang didapatkan dari mengalahkan lawan lawan mereka, apapun caranya. Mulai diperkenalkan juga peraturan baru tentang Fields, yaitu keunggulan yang didapatkan oleh monster monster jika berada pada wilayah tertentu, misalnya Hutan, Laut, Padang Pasir, Pemakaman, dan lain lain

Pegasus selain sebagai Raja terakhir, adalah pencipta permainan Duel Monster M&W, dia juga memiliki Millenium Eyes yang mampu melihat pikiran lawan duelnya dan bahkan mengurung lawannya, sehingga selalu menang tak terkalahan dalam pertarungan Duel Monster selama ini.

Pada masa ini, selain Duel Arena yang diciptakan oleh Pegasus, Seto Kaiba juga telah menciptakan Duel Disk Generasi I yang memungkinkan untuk bertarung di mana saja, walau pengunannya berbentuk cakram yang masih harus dilempar-lempar.

Pertarungan dalam Domino City yang memperebutkan gelar raja ("King's Title") sekaligus tiga kartu dewa. Dalam kisah ini juga diceritakan tentang asal-usul tujuh millenium item yang merupakan kunci dari ingatan Pharaoh yang hilang.

Turnamen ini diselenggarakan oleh Kaiba Corp., namum Seto Kaiba sendiri ikut bermain dengan adil sebagai duelist, ia bersama-sama dengan duelist lainnya saling bertarung untuk mendapatkan peta menuju area semi-final.

Pada masa ini Duel Disk Generasi I tidak lagi digunakan, tetapi telah disempurnakan oleh Seto Kaiba sehingga lahirlah Duel Disk Generasi II yang lebih mudah digunakan (tidak lagi dilempar seperti generasi pertama).

Pertarungan yang berlangsung dimulai dari babak penyisihan, para duelist bertanding untuk mendapatkan "Rare Card" dan "Puzzle Card" dari duelist lainnya. Rare card adalah kartu langka yang memiliki level tinggi, Red Eyes Black Dragon milik Jounouchi, dan Insect Queen milik Haga adalah beberapa di antaranya. Tentu saja kartu dewa juga ikut diperebutkan. Sedangkan puzzel card adalah kartu transparan yang terdapat kepingan puzzle di dalamnya dan merupakan kartu buatan Kaiba Corp. yang diserahkan masing-masing satu buah kepada duelist yang ikut, dan untuk maju ke babak selanjutnya duelist membutuhkan enam Puzzle Card.

Babak selanjutnya didikuti oleh delapan duelist. Babak ini dilangsungkan bukan lagi di Domino City melainkan di Zeppelin milik Kaiba. Delapan orang yang berhasil lolos adalah Yugi Mutou, Jounouchi, Kaiba, Malik Ishtar (Nam), Rishid (menyamar menjadi Malik), Isis Ishtar, Mai Kujaku, Ryo Bakura.

Giliran duel ditentukan secara acak, duel pertama antara Yugi Mutou dan Ryo Bakura berlangsung dengan campur tangan Yami Bakura dan berakhir dengan kemenangan Yugi. Duel kedua membawa Jounouchi ke babak semifinal setelah mengalahkan Rishid. Dalam duel ini Rishid menggunakan kartu dewa Ra yang palsu dan berujung pada pingsannya Rishid di akhir duel. Duel selanjutnya antara Mai Kujaku dan Malik. Di sini muncul kepribadian gelap Malik dan berlangsung game kegelapan. Mai kalah dan tidak sadarkan diri akibat game kegelapan itu. Duel keempat dimenangkan oleh Kaiba. Kaiba melihat flashback masa lalunya sebagai pendeta bersama gadis pemilik Naga Putih (Kisara).

Babak semifinal menyajikan pertandingan Jounouchi-Malik dan Yugi-Kaiba. Malik mengalahkan Jounochi dan menyebabkan Jounochi koma seperti Mai, sedangkan duel Yugi merupakan duel yang sudah ditakdirkan sejak 3000 tahun yang lalu. Berakhir dengan kemenangan Yugi.

Nama-nama The God/Divine Cards (kartu dewa) :

* Sky God Dragon - Osiris (juga dikenal dengan nama Slifer The Sky Dragon)
* The God of Obelisk (disebut juga Obelisk The Tormentor)
* The Winged Dragon of Ra
* The Creator God of Light, Horakhty (Merupakan fusion dari Ra, Obelisk, dan Osiris)



Nameless Pharaoh


Merupakan bagian terakhir, setelah Battle City dan mendapatkan 3 kartu dewa, sekaligus terkumpulnya 7 millenium item. Para tokoh menguak rahasia yang terdapat pada millenium item, dan sejarah mesir kuno yang ada di dalam diri Yami Yugi (yang kemudian diketahui adalah Pharaoh)dan Pharaoh yang bernama ATEM.

Doraemon (ドラえもん?)

Doraemon (ドラえもん?) is a Japanese manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio (the pen name of Hiroshi Fujimoto) and Fujiko A. Fujio (the pen name of Motō Abiko) which later became an anime series and Asian franchise. The series is about a robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a schoolboy, Nobita Nobi (野比 のび太, Nobi Nobita?).

The series first appeared in December 1969, when it was published simultaneously in six different magazines. In total, 1,344 stories were created in the original series, which are published by Shogakukan under the Tentōmushi (てんとう虫?) manga brand, extending to forty-five volumes. The volumes are collected in the Takaoka Central Library in Toyama, Japan, where both Fujiko Fujio were born. Viz Media bought the license to the Doraemon manga in the 1990s for an English-language release, but ultimately decided not to publish it due to the possible controversy surrounding its content.[citation needed] However, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur 2006 (The 26th film in the franchise) got a private screening in Washington D.C. in November 2008.

A majority of Doraemon episodes are comedies with moral lessons regarding values such as integrity, perseverance, courage, family and respect for elders. Several noteworthy environmental issues are often visited, including homeless animals, global warming, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution. Miscellaneous educational topics such as dinosaurs, the flat Earth theory, wormhole traveling, Gulliver's Travels, and the history of Japan are often covered.

Doraemon was awarded the Japan Cartoonists Association Award for excellence in 1973. Doraemon was awarded the first Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga in 1982, and the first Osamu Tezuka Culture Award in 1997. In March 2008, Japan's Foreign Ministry appointed Doraemon as the nation's first "anime ambassador." Ministry spokesman explained the novel decision as an attempt to help people in other countries to understand Japanese anime better and to deepen their interest in Japanese culture." The Foreign Ministry action confirms that Doraemon has come to be considered a Japanese cultural icon. In 2002, the anime character was acclaimed as an Asian Hero in a special feature survey conducted by Time Asia magazine.

Name

The name "Doraemon" translates roughly to "stray". Unusually, the name "Doraemon" (ドラえもん?) is written in a mixture of two Japanese scripts: katakana (ドラ) and hiragana (えもん). "Dora" is from "dora neko" (stray cat, どら猫), and is a corruption of nora (stray). "Emon" is a component of male given names, such as Goemon, though no longer as popular as in the past. "Dora" is not from dora meaning gong, but due to the homophony, the series puns on this, with Doraemon loving dorayak.

Plot

Doraemon is sent back in time by Nobita Nobi's great-great grandson Sewashi to improve Nobita's circumstances so that his descendants may enjoy a better future. In the original timeline, Nobita experienced nothing but misery and misfortune throughout his life. As a result of this, Nobita's failures in school and subsequently, his career, have left his family line beset with financial problems. In order to alter history and better the Nobi family's fortunes, Sewashi sent him a robot called Doraemon.

Doraemon has a pocket from which he produces many gadgets, medicines, and tools from the future. The pocket is called yojigen-pocket, or fourth-dimensional pocket. Some of the gadgets are based on real Japanese household devices with fanciful twists, but most are completely science fiction (although some may be based on folklore or religious stories). Thousands of dōgu have been featured in Doraemon. The number of dōgu has been approximated at 4,500. It is this constant variety which makes Doraemon popular even among adult readers/viewers. In the series, the availability of dogu depends sometimes on the money Doraemon has available, and he often says some dogu are expensive in the future. The more famous ones include the "bamboo-copter", a small head accessory that allows flight; the "Anywhere Door", a door that opens up to any place the user wishes; and the "Time Machine". Some of the recurring dōgu appear also in Fujiko F. Fujio's other works such as 21-emon, Kaibutsu-kun, Kiteretsu Daihyakka, Mikio to Mikio or Pāman.

Although he can hear perfectly well, Doraemon has no ears: his robotic ears were eaten by a mouse, giving him a series-long phobia of the creatures.

The stories are formulaic, usually focused on the everyday struggles of fourth grader Nobita, the protagonist of the story. In a typical chapter, Nobita comes home crying about a problem he faces in school and/or the local neighborhood. After hearing him out, Doraemon always offers helpful advice to his problem(s), but that's never enough for Nobita, who is consistently looking for the "quick, easy" way out (which offers insight to the viewers as to why Nobita's life turned out the way it did). Finally, after Nobita's pleading and/or goading, Doraemon produces a futuristic gadget out of his aforementioned pouch to help Nobita fix his problem, enact revenge, or flaunt to his friends. The only main female character is Shizuka Minamoto (源 静香, Minamoto Shizuka?), who serves as a semi-romantic girlfriend of Nobita, but otherwise a supporting, minor character. Nobita's main human friends include Gian, a known bully, and Suneo, a gloating spoiled wealthy kid. There are many recurring supporting characters, such as Dekisugi, Nobita's parents, his school teacher, his descendants from the future, and Doraemon's sister, Dorami.

Nobita usually goes too far, despite Doraemon's best intentions and warnings, and gets into deeper trouble than before. Sometimes, Nobita's friends (usually Suneo or Jaian) steal the gadgets and end up misusing them. However, by the end of the story, there is usually retribution to the characters who end up misusing them, and a moral is taught.

Death Note (デスノート)

Death Note (デスノート, Desu Nōto?) is a manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and manga artist Takeshi Obata. The main character is Light Yagami, a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook, the "Death Note", dropped on Earth by a death god named Ryuk. It centers around Light's attempt to create and rule a world cleansed of evil using the notebook and the efforts of a detective known as L, and subsequently his successors, Near and Mello, to stop him. The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose name they know, by writing the name in the notebook while picturing their face.



Death Note was first serialized in 108 chapters by Shueisha in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2003 to May 2006. The series was also published in tankōbon format in Japan starting in May 2004 and ending in October 2006 with a total of twelve volumes. The series was adapted into live-action films released in Japan on June 17, 2006, on November 3, 2006, and on February 2, 2008. The anime series aired in Japan from October 3, 2006, to June 26, 2007. Composed of 37 episodes, the anime was developed by Madhouse and directed by Tetsuro Araki. A light novel based on the series, written by Nisio Isin, was released in Japan. Additionally, various video games have been published by Konami for Nintendo DS.

Viz Media licensed the Death Note manga in North America and has published all the twelve volumes from the series as well as the light novel. The episodes from the anime first appeared in North America as downloadable by IGN. Viz later licensed the anime series and it aired on Bionix. The live-actions briefly played in certain North American theaters since 2008. However, none of the video games titles have thus far been published in North America.

Several publications for manga, anime and other media have added praise and criticism on the Death Note series. The plot and violence from the story have been praised, noting it to be very interesting. However, the series was banned in China due to various problems people had with children altering their notebooks to resemble a Death Note.

On April 30, 2010, Variety magazine announced that Warner Bros. acquired the rights for the Death Note manga to be adapted into a live-action movie in the United States. Warner Bros. has hired screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to adapt the manga into a screenplay. Unlike the Japanese Death Note live-action movie trilogy, the US-version will be directly adapted from the material in the manga and will not follow the storyline of the Japanese movie adaptations.[1] As of May 10, 2010, IMDb has listed the movie under pre-production with a tentative release date in 2011.

Plot

Light Yagami is an intelligent young man who resents what appears to be a relentless increase of crime and corruption in the world around him. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die, as well as various other rules. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it using criminals, he realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light plans to become a god and establish a new world order by passing his keen judgment on those he deems evil and anyone who gets in his way.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (キラ?, derived from the typical Japanese pronunciation of the English word "killer"), is located in Japan. He also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them, after he uses a convicted criminal named Lind L. Taylor whose capture was kept secret, and who was condemned to die at that hour, pretending he is L so Light kills him. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a nuanced game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

L realises Kira is getting information from inside the task force and sends 12 FBI agents to follow people connected to the Japanese police. Light tricks Raye Penber, his tail, into showing his ID, after which he kills all the FBI agents. Naomi Misora, Raye's fiancee, suspects Kira was one of the people he tailed, but Light finds out and makes her commit suicide using the Death Note.

Misa Amane, another Death Note owner, finds Light, after sending a video in which she claims to be Kira. She posseses Shinigami eyes which allow her to see a person's name and Lifespan, but cost half her remaining life. Obsessed with Kira after the death of her parents' murderer, she devotes herself to helping Light, but is captured by L. Light makes a plan involving renouncing ownership of both Death Notes and all of his memories of them, and turns himself in to L for surveillance, as Rem threatens to kill him if Misa is not freed. Together, Light and L investigate eight people from the company "Yotsuba" who are using a Death Note for their own profit. While arresting the third Kira Higuichi, Light recovers all his memories when he touches the Death Note. He remembers and continues his plan of compelling the former owner of Misa's Death Note, the shinigami Rem, into killing L and his aide Watari, which kills Rem as a Shinigami cannot purposely extend a human's life. Light then gets her Death Note.

After L's death, Light is given the position of the "new L" by the Japanese Task Force. Four years later, Near and Mello - two children who were raised to be successors to L in an orphanage founded by Watari - appear, with the goal of finding Kira. In the meantime, Kira has gained much public support, and has contacts. Mello, one of L's successors who has joined the Mafia, kidnaps the Director of the NPA, but after Kira kills him, he kidnaps Sayu Yagami, Light's little sister, as a bargaining chip to get the Death Note. The Japanese Task Force plans to go to Los Angeles to rescue Sayu but ends up losing the Notebook. The Task Force later attempts to retrieve it and succeeds in doing so. However, as a result of an explosion that Mello uses to cover his escape, Light's father Soichiro Yagami dies.

Near begins to suspect the second L of being Kira thus causing some members of the Japanese task force to also openly suspect him. Realizing the risk of being caught, Light has Misa give up ownership of her Death Note. He then finds his next successor, Teru Mikami, a strong, almost crazed Kira supporter, who kills Kira's last spokesman for their greed which helped Near escape from a crowd of Kira supporters. Mikami later recruits a new spokesman for Kira, Kiyomi Takada, a newscaster and one of Light's former college girlfriends. Teru Mikami and Kiyomi Takada continue killing criminals while Light is unable to do so himself. Kiyomi is later kidnapped by Mello and is forced to kill him with a hidden piece of the Death Note. Light kills Kiyomi to avoid her implicating him after she uses the note to kill Mello. Mikami, unaware of this action, writes her name in his notebook, exposing it to the members of the SPK. Near has it replaced with a fake notebook and, in a final confrontation with Light, is able to use it to prove that Light is Kira. Realizing that Light had lost, Ryuk writes down Light's name in his own notebook, killing him with a heart attack.

Crayon Shin-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん)

Crayon Shin-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん, Kureyon Shin-chan?, also known as Shin-chan) is a Japanese manga and anime series written by Yoshito Usui.



Crayon Shin-chan follows the adventures of five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, neighbors, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

The author died on September 11, 2009 and was announced on the anime on October 16, 2009. The series formally ended on February 5, 2010 but on December 1, 2009, it was announced that a new manga would be published in the summer of 2010 by members of Usui's team.

Basic information

Crayon Shin-chan first appeared in a Japanese weekly magazine called Weekly Manga Action, which is published by Futabasha. The anime Crayon Shin-chan has been on TV Asahi since April 13, 1992, and on several television networks, worldwide. Shin-Chan has 52 episodes. Many of the jokes in the series stem from Shin-chan's occasionally weird, unnatural and inappropriate use of language, as well as from his inappropriate behavior. Consequently, non-Japanese readers and viewers may find it difficult to understand his jokes. In fact, some of them cannot be translated into other languages. In Japanese, certain set phrases almost always accompany certain actions; many of these phrases have standard responses. A typical gag involves Shin-chan confounding his parents by using the wrong phrase for the occasion; for example, saying "Welcome back!" ("おかえりなさい") instead of "I'm home!" ("ただいま") when he comes home. Another difficulty in translation arises from the use of onomatopoeic Japanese words. In scolding Shin-chan and attempting to educate him in proper behaviour his parent or tutor may use such a phrase to indicate the correct action. Often through misinterpreting such a phrase as a different, though similar sounding phrase, or through interpreting it in one sense when another is intended, Shin-chan will embark on a course of action which, while it may be what he thinks is being requested of him, leads to bizarre acts which serve only to vex his parents or tutors even more. This is not restricted to onomatopoeic words, since almost any word can become a source of confusion for Shin-chan, including English loan-words, such as mistaking "cool" for "pool" ("That's pool!" or "プールだぞ!" for "That's cool!").

Some other humorous themes which are repeated in the series are of a more universal nature, such as gags based on physical comedy (such as eating snow with chopsticks) or, as a child, unexpectedly using adult speech patterns or mannerisms. But even there, many of the gags may require an understanding of Japanese culture and/or language to be fully appreciated; for example, his infamous "Mr. Elephant" impression, while being transparently obvious as a physical gag, also has a deeper resonance with contemporary Japanese culture since it references the popular Japanese children's song "Zou-san" (ぞうさん). Shin-chan regularly becomes besotted with pretty female characters who are much older than him, and an additional source of humor is derived from his child-like attempts at wooing these characters, such as by asking them (inappropriately, on several levels) "Do you like green peppers?" (ピーマン好き?). He continually displays a lack of tact when talking to adults asking such questions as "How many people have you killed?" to tough looking men or, "When are you going to die?" to elderly people.

During the beginning of the series, the TV show was mostly based on the storyline in the original manga. As the show progressed, more and more episodes became anime-original. The show works under a sliding timescale where the characters have maintained their ages throughout the course of the show. Though time has passed to allow for the rise and fall of several pop culture icons, marriages, pregnancies, and births of various characters, all the characters still maintain their age at the time of their introduction. For example, if the two major births in the series are taken into account (Shinnosuke's sister and his kindergarten teacher's child), Shinnosuke would be seven years old and in second grade, but he is not.

Yoshito Usui died on September 11, 2009 after a fall at Mount Arafune. After Usui died, Futabasha originally planned to end Crayon Shin-chan in November 2009. Upon discovery of new manuscripts, Futabasha decided to extend the comic's run until the March 2010 issue of the magazine, which shipped on February 5, 2010.
