All yugioh series = This thing called a "movie" with all special summons and a almighty powerful enemy even STRONGER then Paradox himself.... damn this is going to be good. |

Judging by the year it`ll be released it will probably be another team up movie like BBT. Although with 5 protagonists I don't know how they`ll pull that off unless they seriously do a 5 on 1 duel or something. |

So much hate for ZeXal... I hope they actually saw enough of it to make a fair judgement for themselves. Anyway, I'm a bit hyped for this, should be nice. |

Sounds interesting, though I wonder if this is going to be another team up or focus on one era only...hope it's the former. And as some people might've said already, make the movie longer! xD jfblade said: Hmm...first 73 episodes is 6/10, while the Barian arc is around 7.5/10. I would give a higher score, however, some of the supporting characters are just annoying (Tokunosuke especially >_<).From 1-10, how will you guys rate Zexal?? Monochrome said: I second that, the usage of how many duel mechanisms is not the reason for liking a series. For me, I focus on the plot and characters, a high score comes from me if the plot is good and the main characters are likable. 5D's had a dark atmosphere, which was perhaps the darkest compare to the rest (Dark Signer arc especially). Plus good main characters and the plot was excellent. So a 9/10 for me. The only downside is how Isn't Arc-V the only series to do so? But still, that's not a reason to say Zexal is bad. 5D's also focused on one summoning and most fans praise it as the best YGO series. Bonds Over Time and Space movie was so short, which didn't explore fully about Paradox, and how he was mentioned briefly in the final arc of 5D's (The Arc Cradle arc). And of course, the typical "main protagonist win most duels" is kinda overused in all Yugioh, lol. |

It has a good storyline, plot, but the duels get repetetive. But it's about duelling so it definatly get's repetitive. (Oh look, you just activated my Trap Card!) GX was so boring... No comment further down the lane. 5D's was by far the best I've seen so far. Excellent story (Apart from the duelling bikes) and really well made characters (I watched dub though). Then I started watching Zexal... This is the only Anime I have dropped. Yuma is annoying. He acts like a child most of the time, and gets into really weird shanigans all the time. The ONLY upside about this is Xyz summoning. OT: Will watch the new movie, but I hope Yuma is not in it. This is all coming from someone who still plays the card game and enters tournaments and stuff :P |

GodlyKyon said: I initially gave a 5/10 (or even a 4/10) for Zexal first half, because things were really annoying and slow paced in the first (approx.) 20 episodes and was about to drop. But I had faith that Japanese versions of all Yugioh would turn out nice even though this one is the worst series of them all (I'm counting Arc-V out for now as it doesn't have enough episodes for a comparison). But the plot got improved at least during the WDC arc, which made me give a 6/10. For me, a 6 is average and not a show that is in my favour. Barian arc (episodes 74 onwards) was nice in my opinion, and a lot of twists and such and got slightly dark near the end, which is why I gave a 7 (ok, I wrote 7.5 which was a mistake). For me, both Zexal and GX aren't that good. While Duel Monsters (including what people called season 0) and 5D's are the best ones.Far too high the first half I would give a 5/10 and the second half is just pure BS I would give it 3/10 One if the worst time wasters I have ever seen Also, one question, did you watch Zexal II all the way to the end to make that judgement that the second half was BS? And which version were you watching? Eng or Jap? |

It will be cool to have another movie, with all of them meeting. But it would be too much like the other movie. Maybe it is a movie about the new series, Arc V. Otherwise its a special for all the fans. An ultimate Tournament of the main characters from each series fighting each other, I mean all of them, including the main rival. Imagine Red Eyes Blue Dragon v Utopia. :P |

Yes, there were also fillers in 5D's including a rather long arc involving Kiryu. Still, the Dark Signer arc imo was probably one of the best Yugioh arcs I've seen through its duration. |

The Emperors of Yliaster have a confusing past. I mean, I know that Placido, Lucciano, and José are one person in the end - Aporia. But the anime clearly showed that he was caught in the blast when he was a child (i.e. as Lucciano) by those Machine Emperors, yet how can Aporia still be alive to a teen and then an old man?? This is a question mark for me. Also, I don't get the part of how Antinomy (or Dark Glass/Bruno) got swapped with another twin of himself before his final duel against Yusei in outer space, I thought it was his alter ego or something, then where is the other Antinomy? Then Z-one himself is sorta confusing, which I don't even remember where anymore. I guess somethings were kinda rushed but overall it's still ok. The Crash Town arc was indeed a filler arc, but regarding characters, I actually think it's good that they did a filler arc regarding Kiryu, as after all, since some people would be curious to see what happened to him after the Dark Signers arc. But yeah, other fillers shouldn't be there, they should be used to explain further regarding those villains from WRGP arc onwards, so when it comes to the Arc Cradle arc, everything would be more clear. If there's a crossover with all 5 main protagonists, then they better make movie longer. Or else how can they condense a plot to only 45-50 mins...? |

After the arc ended the writing was less consistent. Yusei never really developed beyond the complicated feelings he had for his friends after Zero Reverse and becoming stronger/more self confident, but there wasn't really much there anyway. Crow didn't really have any development either, just backstory everywhere. Jack took a step backward becoming obsessed with power in dueling again when he changed a bit in the Dark Signer arc. The women were tossed aside like always (Aki, Carly, Luka, Sherry). They did a bad job with Aki even in the DS arc.... And Lua's development was saved for the VERY end, while before he's only about Luka, Luka, Luka. I feel like the series just didn't handle the time travel element well, or at least explain properly, which really screwed up the villains. I just finished 5D's a couple months ago, so it's still fresh in my mind, and I just can't get over all this stuff, with how good it was in the beginning at least. It's not a terrible show (wouldn't say Zexal is overall either), but all of that ruined it for me. The duels in the WRGP were too over the top and predictable for me too. Also I wouldn't exactly call Crash Town filler since it completed Kiryuu's character development, which is good for an important character like him. It's far better than him still not having his memories and just disappearing, despite being good friends with the main crew. The arc could have cut an episode or two though. I almost never see YGO fans complain about 5D's, but I'm just a strange fan I suppose~ |

I almost never see YGO fans complain about 5D's, but I'm just a strange fan I suppose~ Yeah, Yusei seems to have forgotten about his friends which he made back in the gloomy days of Satellite. Even though he was sad that he has to say goodbye to Jack, Aki and the others after the Ark Cradle incident, but he never mentioned about Rally and the others. This kinda make me wondering if he actually forgot about them...And yeah, Jack seems like he hardly changed. I thought Aki was actually well did in the Dark Signer arc. I don't see much flaws there. Only after that arc she kinda went downhill. But she could've duelled along with the three males in the final battle against Rex Godwin in DS arc. Same as Lua and Luka, so it's odd. But she has no D-Wheel back then, so they could actually make her learn to have a Riding Duel far earlier. And even Jack and Crow got dumped in that duel halfway through by having only 1 lousy LP due to Earthbound God Wiraqocha Rasca's effect. They promoted Yusei too much. But yeah, the female characters did not done much anything overall other than a few duels. I was excited to see if Aki and Luka got any evolved cards like Yusei, Jack, Lua and Crow did, but nothing happened, pity...they could've played a much more of a role in all the arcs. Time travel is always a problem in anything I saw to date (movies, TV shows etc.) there are always questions to be asked. So I'm not surprised that there were flaws in Yliaster arc and the Arc Cradle arc. If Z-one and the others were from ancient times, how were they still be alive in the future before they turned to cyborgs? Wouldn't Atem (the Dark Yugi/Pharaoh) knew them? Unless it's inaccuracy of subs. And no one knows who that guy in the white suit was either. This was the guy who Rudger Godwin met before he was a Dark Signer. About the Crash Town arc, I agree. This is why sometimes I like fillers, provided they give side-stories to characters instead of just some random episodes that aren't connected to the main plot, or to any characters. And I like the way in the end the town's name became "Satisfaction Town" to prove that Kiryu has indeed changed after the Crash Town arc and also it reflects his own personality - not satisfied unless he is satisfied. The most popular complaint about 5D's is the notion of "duels on motorcycles". But this is more of a complaint if people saw the 4Kids' dub maybe. I mean, it was odd and weird, but good thing is that, those who watch more episodes of it (in Japanese version), they'll get into it and forget about the D-Wheels and enjoy the duels. Zexal so far got the most complains maybe...Arc-V I've no idea...but so far it seems boring slightly. But hopefully it'll improve. |

I just think they could have done a better job, instead of having her suddenly and completely forgive her family for how they treated her, as well as all her other issues disappearing. These things would normally take some time. That was my only issue with it in the DS arc though. Her ending still looked oh so beautiful though. It seems YGO is finally improving with how they handle females a little at least, as Zexal and Arc-V so far have shown. Took long enough. Making the duel against Goodwin a riding duel was kind of ridiculous itself. Almost like an excuse to only have Yusei, Jack, and Crow participate. Oh yeah they never did cover the guy who contacted Rudger did they. You figure that would be important since their encounter ended up changing a lot. The 'ancient times' is another thing. They could just be talking about everything before their time traveling adventures, back when the world first turned bad, but whether it's an inaccurate translation or the real thing it's still bad. The way Crash Town ended is really the best thing you could have asked for. haha with how many people complained I was surprised the "duels on motorcycles" wasn't really a big focus in the beginning of the show. But yeah, it really isn't that bad though. Hilarious at first, not bad. Arc-V seems to be a slow starter like GX and Zexal...although they are giving us some interesting things here and there its still just intro. I also hope it does improve and soon, I'm waiting for it to do so before fully watching it. |

My inner man-child is pleased. I hope it will cater to us old-school fans as much as possible and have my childhood hero, the Pharaoh himself in it.. |

Monochrome said: I agree, Zexal seems to be the first Yugioh series where the number of duels were much more balanced between the main duelists (Yuma, Shark and Kaito) and it never felt that Yuma actually duelled tons of times. This is one of the good points about Zexal.5D's is probably the most ridiculous so far when it comes to focusing on the main character, he really dueled way to much compared to the other main characters. Zexal's first season was close, but was a little more even at least. As for my thoughts on Aki; I just think they could have done a better job, instead of having her suddenly and completely forgive her family for how they treated her, as well as all her other issues disappearing. These things would normally take some time. That was my only issue with it in the DS arc though. Her ending still looked oh so beautiful though.

I also hope it does improve and soon, I'm waiting for it to do so before fully watching it. I guess that's true regarding Aki, and there should be more exploration about her involvement with the Arcadia Movement. Not much about Divine himself other than what he did with the psychic duelists. And yeah, in Zexal Rio played a big part as a female character. And it was surprising that she was a Barian. Though it's annoying that Kotori was just a cheerleader for the main characters and only duelled once, even though it doesn't really count as she was under Girag's control. But I hope in Arc-V there will be much more duels involving female characters so it's not gender biased even though it's a shounen anime. A riding duel was indeed stupid since Rex was just standing there while the three main duelists were riding in circles. They could've still use Speed World card but dueling maybe in a hyper space or something so they're still "travelling", similar to Yusei vs. Z-one except they were up in the air instead. Yes, that guy seems to be important, too bad they never covered him. Rudger's encounter with that guy seems to be part of the plot, but too late now, that guy will always be a mystery. I assume he works for the Emperors of Yliaster. But then again....could he be Placido??? Maybe not... Well, if they are really from ancient times and lived to the future, then they are either some other beings, which hardly unlikely, or they have some unrevealed magical powers that keep them from aging too fast. Unless they travelled only to the ancient times for a short while and went back to the future to wait for results, which went negative and so they went to Yusei's timeline and cause chaos to save their future instead which began with Paradox making the first move. True, I actually enjoyed that arc and I somehow liked the western styled duels as well. True, some duels were normal type duels, so Riding Duels weren't the main focus. which I'm glad. Synchro Summons were the focus. The hilarious bit for Riding Duels for me was when Yusei faced Z-one. A flying motorcycle is way ridiculous than dueling on the tracks. Even the subs made a joke by having "Flying duel! Acceleration" on the top part of the screen of an episode preview scene. Those 3 Yugioh series indeed had badly paced intro episodes compare to the beginning of Duel Monsters and 5D's. I think GX was more interesting in those intro episodes than in Zexal and Arc-V. Zexal's first 20 episodes or so made me bored to tears, but at least the WDC arc saved it, and also the Barian arc after that. I really hope the next few episodes of Arc-V won't be wasting time and get on with the main plot, which it doesn't seem to be revealed yet... Unless the taking over of You Show Duel School by LDS is the beginning of a bigger plot.. |

THose who thinked this... they not a real yugioh fan's... That the reason why they not a really fan... the like the orginal because they like at when they are child. But it's a very bad reason. Forexmple when i was kid i really liked Dragon ball z or Marvel comic... but then now i don't very iinterested abouth those... Also they are alwayse say that the other series is bad and only the orginal is cool which is quite irritating. |
