KaiJudo: Darkness of Heart ~ #Review & #Giveaway #Movie

"Let's Watch it" my daughter said when she saw the DVD I brought home.   She was very eager to pop it into the DVD player.  This series is new to me but not to my daughter.  She said she has seen a few episodes on the ipad just a few weeks before.

Collectible KaiJudo: Rise of the Duel Masters - Darkness of Heart on DVD (SRP $14.97) will be available nationwide September 24, 2013 from Shout! Factory in collaboration with Hasbro Studios and Wizards of the Coast.  It features five exciting adventures and exclusive playable trading card.  A must-have for young  Kaijudo duelist, collectors and heroes of all ages.


KaiJudo Rise f the Duel Masters


The Plot:
When 14-year-old Ray is recruited by the mysterious Duel Masters, he and his friends, Gabe and Allie, find themselves in a dangerous dimension where they must defend themselves – and Earth – from the evil mastermind known as the Choten. In these five exciting new episodes, Ray is temporarily blinded when battling a creature called Shaw K’naw, the kids investigate mysterious creature abductions, and Ray must enter the Darkness Civilization first to rescue Allie’s father…and then to rescue Allie!

I sat down and watched this series with both of my daughters.  They both enjoyed watching it and so did I even though I had no knowledge of the series before hand.  I am glad there were 5 episodes in this DVD because after one was finished my eldest daughter wanted to watch another one and then another one.  Next thing we knew we watched the whole DVD.  Each episodes was easy to follow and the story made it very interesting to watch all the way to the end of the DVD.  The animation is the usual cartoon graphic with no CG.  I don't want to spoil the story in case no one has watched these episodes but just to let you know I liked the ending.  After we finished watching the DVD, my daughter wanted to watch more.  Fortunately, the series air on TV so she would able to continue to watch it.  If we enjoyed it, so will you.

I was watching the bonus feature that came with the DVD and learned that KaiJudo is also a trading card game.  Wow, this brought back memories of my high school days watching my friends that were so involved with a popular trading card game.  They would collect and trade cards to use to compete with one another.  If anyone enjoys trading card game this one you may also like to try.
