| Being child friendly is not the issue: Vrains is so edgy in a bad way that becomes cringe (and I usuallly like edginess), whereas Sevens was surprisingly good thanks to likable characters and varied duels; some tracks of the OST were good too. I don't understand why they had to axe it for the piece of garbage we have now, probably because they thought that a stupid alien investigation plot would sell more than slice of life. 1. DM 2. GX 3. Sevens 4. Arc-V 5. 5D's (could be higher but the second half sucks) 6. Zexal 7. Vrains 8. Go Rush |

| I mean if that how you define it then yea maybe. |

| Yugioh peaked at the OG anime, then started to decline at GX, then dead after that because it becomes more and more weird and unnecessarily complex that it lost its magic completely. |

| The Rush game is actually pretty fun from what I played on YGO Pro and I am hoping it comes over to the TCG regions soon. I know the Go Rush series isn't really the most popular since it aims at a younger audience, but I have heard some good things about Sevens. IT really is just a matter of how you view it. The anime is no longer really for Master Duels since they can really sell product oon their own now without the anime, so I think it was good they decided to focus the anime on the new game for a change of pace, and to get new people into it. |

| I think the "mai is my waifu guy" would have a relevant take on this. @TheBlockernator |

| I guess so, you don't see many people talking about Yu-Gi-Oh nowadays, OG anime was great tho tchitchouan said: I think the "mai is my waifu guy" would have a relevant take on this. now that you say that, yeah where is he |
| woah so let me get this straight. So you're saying that a series that's been around for over 20 years and has countless spinoffs and sequels is declining in quality and popularity? Damn, thats friggin' WEIRD. |
 |
| Yu-Gi-Oh died for me when they introduced synchro summons. |
| その目だれの目？ |
tchitchouan said: I think the "mai is my waifu guy" would have a relevant take on this. Wrong Mai, but GX didn't interest me nearly as much as DM, and then didn't watch anything that came afterwards Actually think I enjoyed LittleKuriboh's abridged series of DM more than the official series |
 |
| I would rank it 1. Yugioh 5ds 2. Yugioh GX 3. Yugioh Zexal 4. Yugioh DM 5. Yugioh VRains 6. Yugioh Sevens 7. Yugioh Arc V I never seen enough go rush to rank it yet. The old era of yugioh where the games were life and death really ended after Zexal which popularized the game a ton. Yugioh is not the same anymore since they shifted demographics of teens more so to kids with the rush duel series. My stand out best moments of yugioh series would go to Zone arc of 5ds and final arc of gx which were brutal. |

| Not dead, but newest Yu-Gi-Oh! show is suck. The new Yu-Gi-Oh! anime is targeted for kids viewer and for oldest viewer either just watch other anime or play the card game. Vrains is actually great anime but they kinda rush the storyline in season 2 and 3 Funny things about this, if they announced new the real Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, they also will introduce new summon mechanic for the card game. For the card game itself, they recently release card that support for anime archetype by using iconic scene as artwork card in the anime. In the end, even Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series nowdays is less to people talk about it, Yu-Gi-Oh! is always the one of memorable anime in anime history. It proven by other anime using Yu-Gi-Oh! cameo/reference in their show. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Yea and it's sad as a yu gi oh fan. finding someone talking about yugioh anime is 8192x more rare than finding a shiny pokemon |
| It's honestly too bad they went with the more childish, slice of life yugioh in Sevens. I miss the darker themes of the previous series. Even with the 4kids censorship, it was never this childish. The darkness is what made Yugioh fun, now it feels like i'm watching a kids show, there's no stakes, there's no long term consequences, it's basically Pokemon now. Like you won't lose your soul or have your mind trapped in a mental prison if you lose. All that happens now is...you have people dueling over the last bowl of ramen. It's just not cool anymore. There was some appeal to kids, teens and maybe adults. Kaiba for instance, is one of the coolest characters i've seen in anime. I wouldn't call it fanservice, but look at some of the monster designs. Harpie Lady, Dark Magician Girl and a ton of others were designed sexilly, a lot of female characters are too like Mai, but the girls in Sevens aren't, they all look like kids. ANd the monsters don't have any interesting designs for me. Actually, the monsters themselves are lame now. Back in the day, you had a ton of variety, nowadays the monsters used just look like generic power ranger types or digimon. Rush duels suck. Where's the tension if you can summon every card in one turn? Thank you for the tag @tchitchouan . I guess i'm known for being the Yugioh guy around here, lol. |

It was never this bad before. Not even the fans bother to talk about the new entry now. Every yugioh forum i'm on doesn't even bother to talk about Go Rush or Sevens. It's not just mal. It's the same with the Pojo forum, the subreddit and most other subs. Every post i make about DM though on there gets way more traction. |

 I made a meme. Me every time Yugioh is mentioned on Mal. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
Haha! very accurately true indeed. |
yep, that sure sounds like you alright |
| The issue is that shift to Rush Dueling that has soured the fanbase, the format not leaving Japan in the tabletop format (only the Switch game left Japan and it has severe card pool issues due to a release that was way too early) does not help. |

Rush duels suck. But i get why they did it. Apparently, the game got too complicated and it was hard to write compelling back and forth duels with all the new summoning abilities. It was hard to make certain decks look bad. |

As you might imagine, it's especially rare for people to be discussing those specific parts. The more popular classic series does little for me beyond nostalgia. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Legit I lost my mind trying to understand the game beyond zexal. |
| MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| I stopped caring about the series since Zexal!!! Played the real game online from GX to Zexal era!!! Stopped playing for awhile then i come back playing Master Duel competitively a few months back & im playing it eversince!!! The anime is so full of shit in most duels looking back that i cant help but laugh!!! Heart of the Cards RNG bullshit is just so funny & stupid!!! If the anime is barely talked about, Probably the new concept/rules are shit & the new archetypes sucks ass!!! |

| considering how weird the current game is with Synchro summons an trap cards being useless (an pot of greed banned) i dont think a new anime can be made from that while still be entertaining |

| Imagine if they animated an Ishizu Tearlament mirror |

silversaint said: considering how weird the current game is with Synchro summons an trap cards being useless (an pot of greed banned) i dont think a new anime can be made from that while still be entertaining Yeah, i agree. The series was better when it focused on decks that looked cool and not triying to be like the meta. The card game has gone off a cliff and is just boring now. |

| For anime only, Idk if it's dead. I assume it just doesn't have the same audience that MAL has. I know I'm waiting for it to be dubbed before watching it, and they had yet to get to Sevens last I checked (which was a year back or so). So, all in all, I assume that it's comparatively dead overseas, but that it's working well with Japanese children or smth. Edit: I voted for VRAINS. May not have been my actual favorite, but it had enough going for it. My favorite individual duel, though, is in 5ds. I assume that it's not that good now that I've watched more anime, and see the tropes coming much more easily, but that won't make me change my opinion. |

| 5Ds>DM>>Arc-V>Zexal>S0>Vrains>>>>>>>Sevens>Go-Rush I dropped Vrains and forced myself to finish it some time later, but it wasn't as good as the premise made it seem. It really feels like anything after Arc-V was when Yu-Gi-Oh! the anime started to die. (Never ever played the card game, the show was just really good.) |
| I didn't vote, since I like "Capsule Monsters". And unfortunately it's not listed on MAL. |
 |
| Considering that Rush Duel mostly stay in Japan, and a lot of the long time fans probably did not stick around, it's not really surprising. |

| Compared to the days gone by, when everyone loved the anime more than life, yes |
 |
| How much do the spin-offs and new timelines(?) change the original story? How many anime and which franchise parts do I have to watch in order to have at least a general understanding? |

RobertBobert said: How much do the spin-offs and new timelines(?) change the original story? How many anime and which franchise parts do I have to watch in order to have at least a general understanding? They're basically completely different. Nobody from previous spinoffs shows up, no plot threads are mentioned, nothing at all carries over. It's practically a different show each time. The only commonality is the card game. GX is the only one with any sort of continuity, though it isn't much. |

| I have a feeling I know who the owner of this alt is |
 |
| I think it is not dead. Simply new adaptations are pretty rare, that is all. Now only isekai and idols works are popular sadly. |
