(wonders if there are parents of daughters out there who see their offspring similarly caught up in dueling-monster competitive manga spinoffs... Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh...)
Current Mood:bemused
Current Music:sounds of young boys discussing monster card arcana
Kids here moved past Yu-Gi-Oh on to Inuyasha then Fushugi Yugi and then something else (losing track) and now on to Full Metal Alchemist. We still have the buttload of various cards and they still duel from time to time.
If you're wondering about gender differences... Claire is the one who got Bren into it. She also draws manga. Obsessed with manga. Wants to grow up and live in Tokyo, already teaching herself Japanese. If this is the crack she's chosen, I'm all happy.
My older daughter has been a Pokemon freak since she was three. And both of them are Yu-Gi-Oh fanatics - Rich has to buy them the new Yu-Gi-Oh DVDs every week or two....
Not mine. They'll watch the shows, but they never discuss the stuff. Now, Neopets they love, but they don't do the Battledome. We're a pretty proactive pacifist family though and that may make a difference.
