Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (11/120 eps)
First impression of the VRAINS series is that the anime has a more mature theme much like the 5D's series, which in my opinion is a plus. So far the story is about the high school student Yuusaku who secretly works as a hacker fighting against the criminal hacking organisation "Knights of Hanoi" due to a yet unexplained background that involved these two. Duels are now carried out in a futuristic VR system called the VRAINS that allows players to manifest as an avatar inside the cyber realm.

The story so far is very well-paced and enjoyable - all the duels have had meaningful for the ...

*THERE WILL BE SOME SPOILERS SO BE CAREFUL.. BUT I WILL MINIMISE IT.. *

Spring 2017 season is already over. With the return of the phenomenal Attack On Titan, to the so called ''Trash'' anime Eromanga-sensei, the animes last spring season was quite alright with the shows it offers to us.. But I was not expecting of a return of one of the most famous childhood animes we've been watched, though on this date, almost no one doesn't remember or even care about this collection of animes. That's right. The YuGiOh! franchise... As a fan of the franchise (I still am), Ive watched almost all of ...

Out of all the YGO series I have watched, this series would have to be the most UNDERRATED out of the lot. I studied Media when I was in College and Uni, and this anime gets its points almost spot on. The plot twists were very well done, and it was the first time in ages I couldn't predict them. The cinematography was also handled really well. However, I scored it nine out of ten for a few reasons:

It does contain quite a few filler episodes, which does feel like the episode is a waste of time to watch. However, once the story gets back ...

And so ends another Yugioh series. Though ending shorter than expected. Though really, there wasn't much else you could do with the world they've set up. Which isn't a bad thing really. But it just meant the story wrapped up quicker than expected.

As for the show itself? It got me back into Yugioh honestly. But I can see that's not without it's faults still. While I did enjoy it. There were a few things, like with some of the characters, that weren't really that great at all. Let alone the pointless recap episodes. Though thankfully those stopped after the first season.

Sooo...Does Vrains hold up ...

Yugioh VRAINS taps into the older Yugioh fan brilliantly, while creating a compelling and interesting story-line that always keeps the viewer guessing.

When I think of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" I always think back to the original manga, and first decade of the franchise, DM, GX, and 5Ds. I think after 5Ds the direction of the franchise became a lot more light hearted, at least for the beginnings of Zexal and Arc-V which I could never really get into. However, VRAINS brilliantly recaptures what made me fall in love with this franchise. While the show is dark and realistic, it is also funny at times which makes for a ...

I've always been a big fan of the Yugioh series. Each iteration managed to improve upon its predecessors in some way or another, while still keeping things "fresh". Yugioh 5D's pushed the envelope with its outrageous concept and it succeeded. Coupled with strong characters and a great storyline, 5D's is easily my favourite of the series. Comparing the later seasons to the earlier ones, it becomes clear that the newer yugioh anime take a similar route to a specific earlier part; especially in the tone, character designs as well as themes. Zexal has its roots in the original DM, ARC V in GX and this ...

Pros(Art)-
The art work is distinct in its style and each character is recognizable whether it's by their oddly colored and oddly shaped hair, or their facial features which have a certain level of distinctness with no set face being bad or good. The art is generally vibrant and when the monsters are cg it flows well with the rest of the background.

Cons(Art)-
At some points the art is warped and the characters look unlike themselves. There is nothing overwhelming or never before seen, but it isn't the worst.

Overall(Art)-
The art is good just needs a little bit of tinkering in certain places.

2. Pros(Character)-
Each character has their ...

Every Yugioh series is based on something that occured way back in the past. This one is no different, but it does it better. Vrains is all about setling things with the past. Lost Jiken is what gonna move not just the MC, but all the villains in the series. Playmaker, and Soulburner later too, seeks justice, Revolver seeks to attone the sins of his father. The second season brings some discussions about Artifical Inteligence and freewill, the importance of the limits of our free will. The last part of Vrains unite both and brings the meaning of life. Playmaker beliving in no absolute truth, ...

I'm a longtime fan of this franchise and honestly Vrains might be my favorite season of Yugioh (I'll have to rewatch 5Ds and compare). The best way I can describe the setting for Vrains is "Tron meets Yugioh" where our characters enter this cyber space and duel with avatars while (of course) zipping around on hoverboards. Ever since 5Ds our characters can't stand still while dueling!! What makes Vrains so good? Well, for me it comes down to one word: the pacing. In so many Yugioh shows we have early episodes chock full of boring filler like that quiz duel in Arc V, but none ...

Preliminary (16/120 eps)
currently,vrains is much more interesting then most of it's previous series(Arc v and Zexal) arc v is good in the beginning episodes and ending episodes after around the time where they dimension hope,it got boring. zexal is straight b***shit. since 5ds,they have not made any really good series but vrains,took the high school setting and mix in with the mature themes in 5ds which is really good.the art style for the characters are still the same but the CG is really good,where you compare the CG with pass series like zexal or Aec v,where both series have decent CG only some time they did't include ...

Now that the series is over, I can finally give my full review. Honestly, I know this rating seems high, but I truly did get so much emotional impact and enjoyment out of VRAINS.

I've been a long time fan of YGO, and for a long, long time, GX was my favorite series. VRAINS has finally dethroned it, which is crazy, but I think people don't give this show enough credit. This is a weekly show designed to sell a card game to you. This is, at it's core, a children's card game ad done really, really well. Everything you get on top of exciting ...

VRAINS is awesome to watch you have to watch it, it has amazing story plot my rate is 9.5/10 it's better than original show it's probably my best anime ever.
The best episode so far is 1-3, 8-12, 18-20, 28 and 35.
And i don't have any complaint in this show.
it's like you not watching Yu-Gi-Oh it's brutal.
it has dark ton sad and scary backstory.
i create my own story event so here is link https://www.reddit.com/user/mohamed61/comments/7oziv7/vrains_story_event_you_can_ask_any_question/ and comment down if you have any question and if you want to join my server to ask any question comment below.

WARNING To explain some of my problems with this show it's almost impossible for me to not spoil anything also I HAVE to compare this show to it's predecessor for context on this show's many problems because they were the direct result of trying not to repeat that show's many problems


Ok So Arc-V which was supposed to be the show that proved anyone who said "they should have stopped after DM/GX/5DS" wrong only for it to crash and burn in a way that still baffles me in how they managed to fuck it up to this day. Why am I telling you about Arc-V ...

Warning: This review is going to be from the words of an SAO fan.

Story: As far as story is concerned, the Yugioh writers seem to hype up their game. Inspite of the recap episodes, it has managed to stay consistent with its pacing and storytelling. Already, it is a massive improvement from Arc-V, with had a strong beginning and fell flat at the end. Also, its plot seems to take the Yugioh series in a different direction, to the direction of VR (which SAO established first), but inspite of that, it succeeds at doing its own thing, without much linkage to SAO.

Art: The art is ...

(This review may contain slight spoilers)

Story:

Yu☆Gi☆Oh! VRAINS is the 6th and so far, the final spin-off, (or sequel if you can fit it in the timeline) of the entire Yu☆Gi☆Oh! franchise. It's original and modern since it mixes old school (card games) with the modern world (VR and AI). It kind of reminds me of SAO except this is way better. Unlike the previous anniversary series Arc-V, this anime does not necessarily focus much on references but it is quite subtle via Playmaker's Ace Monsters.

In comparison to how bad it was for me during Zexal and Arc-V's time, Vrains actually tried and sort of succeeded ...
