Forum:Benefits of watching the Yu-Gi-Oh Anime series?

I was wondering if watching the Yu-Gi-Oh shows would be beneficial to my understanding and enjoyment of the game? For example, will characters shown in the show have parallel cards in the game? Do cards, characters and concepts from season 1 still get used regularly today?

Also, if I start watching Yu-Gi-Oh should I start Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters which I am told is what the game is based on or the first anime series? Or would it be better to watch the first anime series after watching the other anime series which the game is based on?
