## Synopsis

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters (2006) is a short American animated miniseries created by Kazuki Takahashi for FOX, a spin-off of the Japanese anime Yu-Gi-Oh!. Yugi Muto (voiced by Dan Green), his grandfather Solomon Muto (Maddie Blaustein), and friends Joey Wheeler (Wayne Grayson), Téa Gardner (Amy Birnbaum) and Tristan Taylor (Gregory Abbey) are pulled into a strange world where Duel Monsters are real. There they find monster capsules that let them summon creatures into battle, and the fights carry a sharp twist: when their own monsters are attacked, they feel the pain. The engine of each episode is the group's struggle to master these capsules and survive the dangers of an unfamiliar land while staying loyal to one another. The twelve-episode run is a single continuous story of roughly twenty-five minutes per episode, built around card-game style duels. Its tone is playful and adventurous, with bright creature action and a steady current of friendship and loyalty. Fans of Pokémon, Digimon Adventure and the original Yu-Gi-Oh! will find the same mix of monster battles, young heroes and collectible-game energy here.
