Saikyou Ginga Ultimate Zero: Battle Spirits

In the new, whimsical era of Battle Spirits, cards have become scattered across a colorful galaxy, enticing all "card questers" to duke it out in search of the strongest cards. Rei is a flamboyant wanderer who is obsessed with being on top. Accompanied by a small dragon named Mugen and a talking robot named Salt, the self-proclaimed "Number One Star" regularly engages in card-gaming mischief through flashy battles.

One day, Rei meets Raira and Rikuto April, both of whom seem to have clues on the whereabouts of the "ultimate" Battle Spirits card. Together, they embark on a quest to search for the card, clashing with many vibrant personalities along the way. Soon, their adventure catches the attention of the Guild, wily villains who are also set on obtaining the Ultimate Battle Spirits. In contending against the Guild, Rei's status as number one is put to the test—an endeavor that will slowly unveil secrets regarding the fate of the universe.

Watch Battle Spirits Ultimate Zero. This isn't a request. This is a DEMAND. Because this is one of the finest looking and animated shows I've ever watched, even outside of card game anime. And the best part is it's also a really great show.
Tetsuya Ishikawa is a god. No other way to put it, this is an absolutely gorgeous show. The prettiest AND coolest outer space western adventure.

Rei is a great lead and they do everything to sell you on the new card type and mechanic of Ultimates, and I'm sold. I mean, how many male main characters do you know have elaborate ... transformation sequences like from a magical girl anime? To play card games? And he had a little dragon sidekick? And all they eat is pizza and cola? This is an Ultimate experience of a show. This is a childs dream come to life.

There's this very big made up myth in card game anime sphere about "the character HAS to lose, and thus get development". And that's like really silly when you think about like Yugi and Jaden.
And it's especially extremely silly with Rei. I think people have forgotten how to be cool, and that's simply why people spout random writing things like it's gospel. Cause if you're cool like Rei the Number One Star who will find the Ultimate Battle Spirits, who travels in pastel space with very geometric stars, what makes you think the bad guys are ever going to win against a henshining hero.

Just watch it, you won't regret it.
