Ani-Mayhem is an out-of-print

Geneon) and published by Upper Deck Company, Ani-Mayhem's cards featured images from a variety of anime series and movies. The first two sets were composed of multiple productions and the third and final set was based entirely on the long-running Dragon Ball Z.[1]

History

Ani-Mayhem was created in the post-Magic boom. When the first set, commonly known as Set 0, was published, its rulebook was considered uninformative and incomplete.[citation needed] Later printings of the game attempted to fix this by including a more detailed rulebook that fundamentally altered the way the game played. The Dragon Ball Z expansion, which came in starter decks just as the original set did, included a rule set that rewrote the game for a second time.

The idea of the game was to allow an open-ended system that would allow all characters from all anime to interact with one another in the same card game. The result was a game that did not manage its

errata, it would be at least three-to-four times as long as the game's rulebook. Another problem that hurt the game came in the wake of the Dragon Ball Z expansion. The cards in this set were typically much more powerful than the average cards present in Sets 0 and 1, leading to serious imbalance that was further compounded by the vast number of rules changes that the expansion introduced. Critics say the Ani-Mayhem card stock is relatively high quality.[citation needed
