| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- After 5 min I was ready to commit sepakku :/ But once the actual battle got started it was pretty decent. The game looks fun, I might consider playing it if it gets any popularity in the states. Aichi started out as a tool, but it seems like that was somewhat of an act....hopefully! Kai is alright, typical cocky jerk, who's probably about to get pwnd! I'll probably at least watch another episode, see if it gets any better. When did Nagato grow long hair? Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Was a "normal" episode. Didn't expected so much ... So it's was good in his side. |
 |
| Somewhat decent i guess. Fucking hated Aichi's voice. |
| This was failtastic. |
| Failtastic? I think it was pretty good, for a first episode. 4/5 |
 |
| Well it does seem to be drawn better than Yu-Gi-Oh! However, I don't really see any strategy to this game just yet. Hopefully next ep will be better. |
 |
Ralem said: Somewhat decent i guess. Fucking hated Aichi's voice. I think it was kind of lame when Kai said 'Picture our fight in your mind'. I mean, cliche? Overall, quite decent I guess. I did not expect a cliff hanger. On the first episode. |
    |
| i don't expect much it is a yugi oh clone/copy after all but hope for some nice duells. |
 |
| the fact that it is so similar to YGO makes it cool... |
| Well i don't like how everybody looks (not enough detail) and the card game seems pretty simple. It's ok, but frankly i expected better. |
 |
| Why is everyone saying its like yugioh? The only similarity is that its a card game. If anything its more like Pokemon (the card game obviously) |
 I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list. |
| "Mommy! I want a Blaster Blade card! Get it for me now!!" Seriously, that's what I would have said if watched this as a child. The blatant advertising for the cards was ridiculous, constantly flashing them in our faces. This anime is so below average... Dropped! |
| I found it decent enough, although way similar to the first YGO series. I mean, naive guy that has a rare card and he is bullied, like Yugi from the first series. Then, arrogant rival guy that defeat everyone, similar to Kaiba. The girl didn't do anything, but just watching, she seems good enough. Maybe Vanguard will be better than the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal. |

| We didn't get to see an entire fight, and I suspect that we haven't seen all the subtleties of the rule system yet. Still needs some time to grow. I like it because it is a cardgame. |
| I found the actual appearance of the cards to be quite interesting. Shiny =P The game itself is fairly confusing but hopefully I'll get the gist of it in a few episodes. |
 |
| what is the first epp name? |
 |
| JAM doing the op is enough for me to watch this |
| Yeah I'm really like this trading card anime, very enjoyable to watch. ^_^ Looking forward for next episode! I'm glad they bring another anime trading game than yu gi oh this season :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| if gives off the yu-gi-oh vibe, which is good...I'll def enjoy this....I have to say that at first, I thought that silver haired girl was actually a boy XD |
 |
| lol man only the last 10mins was worth that whole episode. I hope this series will actually yield something decent not another failed "card" based anime... Can't wait till they reveal how they know each other tho... |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| I've played weiss schwarz and yes the gameplay is exactly like it except it uses monsters and not anime characters. Yes the story is similar to yugioh but the game itself is that of weiss schwarz |
| Ok, not a bad first ep. But there's room for the series to get better. Will continue to watch of course. |

| I hate card games. I don't want to watch this. But Aichi is so HNNNNGHHHHH. Anyway, if he turns out to be ... strong and not that little girly weak cuuuute boy... I'll drop it. Also, I don't understand the game. XD' |

It seems that Kai gave Aichi the card he'll use to beat him with in their first match? Irony? A chance for a little twist? We have to wait for next week to see ;-; shadowsword said: Ok, not a bad first ep. But there's room for the series to get better. Will continue to watch of course. I agree. |

Heh,who knows,we'll just have to wait and see,so far this show is'nt half bad,ussially i cannot stand these types of animes,but this one was a breath of fresh air,I like the idea where the players become one with the monsters (AKA: Vanguards) and this is defentially alot better than CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES! (AKA: Yugioh 5d's) I just wonder; Vanguard is listed to have 13 episodes, what a card game anime can do in 13 episodes? Unless it has more seasons. I liked 5D's, unlike GX that was all silly and Zexal seems to direct towards that way. I hope though, that Vanguard will get a little dark. |
| ending by Natsuko Aso <3 They have such imagination to play like that =o |
 |
| Dropped. |
| damn it even started like YGO o__o like bluehair guy got bullied by that blackhair dude but then afterwards they probz become friends, just like joy and yugi at start. and kai is like kaiba, lol they even sound kai..kaiba..and that supercard blade blazer (wat was name?) is like dark magician and not even talking about game itself but i guess this kind of card duel anime is somekind of genre now? oh and how everything beggins in card shop and how this main card is from someone special and how main char is small shy guy etc..well yups totally YGO! even tho i would wish this would start in some way different and more originally i kind of like it anywayz? idk will give this some more eps n then decide if i wanna watch it or no. i like the card design however <3 |
  |
| I actually enjoyed this a lot. I dont really expect everyone to find it interesting though. I think one of the main reasons I enjoy it is because i'm an avid card gamer myself x) Thousands of Yu Gi Oh Cards, Even more Magic The Gathering Cards...I'm definitely interested in Vangaurd :D I'll definitely continue to watch, hopefully it'll gain popularity in the states, but that probably wouldn't be until the show starts getting dubbed would be my guess. |
 |
| I like it. |
| The system of playing is similar to magic if anyone has played... in some parts... |

| Well that looked like Yu-Gi-Oh but after the explanation it got better and it's kinda different... I think I'll give it a shot :) |
| That was actually a pretty fun episode, and while I don't really understand the game all too much yet, it looks like it has potential. Seems pretty light hearted compared to Yugioh, but I don't think that will stop it from possibly becoming an actual card game as well. |
 |
| Well....that was dry. I mean, at least Yu-Gi-Oh! had the supernatural element going for it (that, and YGO's original intent was not to advertise a card game). The characters are cliched, the animation is sloppy, and the card game rules are REALLY FREAKING CONFUSING. I'll give it another episode (after all, this just screams of an anime to watch on Saturday mornings), but it doesn't have me hooked. At all. |

| Good ep but..gonna be a while before I understand the rules.. I mean a bunch of monsters (units) were summoned in one turn XD. |
| The episode was decent, i'm interested in the gameplay and the art seems well done. I don't get why people call this a clone of yugioh...there are similarities between them but i wouldn't call it a clone. looking forward to the next episode |
 |
| The hero needs to grow a spine and get a new seiyuu. Also, it would be impossible to build a functional deck without at least knowing the rules :/ Hopefully it'll get better. |
| After having dropped this after like 6 eps, I'm revisiting it b/c they've posted the dub on youtube. I initially dropped it b/c I couldn't take Aichi's voice anymore! I tried, the show itself started to get pretty interesting, and I like the game, but dat voice @_@!!! The Singapore dub isn't the best dub, but I still find it enjoyable. I think everyone's voice is pretty good, except Kai's. It should sound cockier, and not so monotone, maybe it will get better when he gets more excited about playing. But, the dub is good enough to actually watch it. It seems they're streaming it on youtube, b/c no networks in the states/Canada would pick it up? Not a surprise if that is the case, b/c they kept all the original names, and stayed very faithful to the Japanese language when they translated it. That's a plus for me, I hate when they Americanize the crap outta these shows. But, it would be cool to get this on tv in the states. Maybe if the game gets popular 4kids will pick it up. Hopefully they post the full season on youtube, and dub the second season and post it as well Is anyone even subbing the second season? Urahara Out!! |
