While most of the shows that I grew up with are still pretty awesome to watch, there are still that batch of shows that are not good, but i will still always love them as a guilty pleasure. Yu-Gi-Oh is one of those shows, why? Because it's a show about card games, dubbed by 4Kids of all people, of course it's not very good, but i grew up with it and spent a shit ton of time and money on playing the card game, so i'm always gonna be nostalgic for it. But there is one thing about this show that I legitimately think is really good, the theme song.
Listening too it again, I realise how much effort, composition and style went into this theme to make it as excellent as it is, it captures the Egyptian iconography that the show often used, has a funky beat to it and a dynamic hook to make you feel like something epic is going to happen. And for 4Kids to make it!? That's shocking, not to point fingers *cough* One Piece opening *cough*. It's stylized, it's memorable and it's probably the best thing to happen to the show since Little Kuriboh.
