| If you enjoyed any of the previous series and are a fan of the card game, as it is, I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy it. Of course it's a Yu-Gi-Oh!-series, so you can't expect anything brilliant out of it, since plot and characters still take a back seat to the obligatory card battles, but it also isn't the worst of those series, since it is somewhat ambitious with its plot. |
| YU gi oh arc v suffers from a Multiple personality disorder. The writers can't decide what arc v is. Is it a dark show with ppl dying or a childish circus with the obnoxious mc. Overall, the first 60 eps are good, but in the second season the anime starts going downhill. I advocate you watch it beacuse it still has some good moments. |

| OP, I'll tell you the same rule they use on /a/: 7 episode rule. That's the episode when the serious plot kicks, with the 6 before it being light-hearted worldbuilding episodes.

Even when Yuma does "evolve" his basic strategy remains completely same. "Goldinbergh -> Summon another lvl 4 monster -> Overlay", he does not become a duelist on par with the King of Games. Beating someone like Don Thousand does not get you on Yugi's level. Hell, he even never beat Kaito. And I think Vector is the only good surprise out of the shit show. I'm surprised how you like a brat like Yuma more than Yuya. I think Yuya's character is lots of fun, and he has had a lot more development than Yuma ever had. Oh and Yuya at least has one solid & decent archetype meanwhile Yuma's deck is chaos. Imo when GX started it wasn't that good. In fact the first couple episodes sucked but it got better over time... even then the characters sucked. Shimmering-Sky said: Stevewonder07 said: I actually play the card game. Just wanted to know how good the anime is? Cause 100 and something episodes are hard to commit to. I feel like the show is amazing, I didn't start until the show reached episode 67, and now I wait absolutely excited every week for the next one. The middle of the show up until about episode 124 isn't AS good, but it's finally getting amazing again. I think it was around the same time that I fell in love with Arc-V and started hyping it every week. Now it's on a different level... I do hype it but I'm not as emotionally attached to this show. However things look like they're going on a good track once again. |

You're entitled to your opinion, but I have to say that I disagree with that. People are different and they'll like a character more if they identify with them. You're being subjective in your response as I'm being in mine. Vector was one of the central plots of Zexal so I guess that's a good thing - It literally started with vector and essentially ended with vector trying to be an outlier within the barian force. Just thought I'd point that out because I really enjoyed the second half of Zexal and not just because it subverted expectations, but because it took characters that were somewhat irrelevant and showed the audience why you should care about them. It was also just really fun. It knew what it was and had fun with it. In terms of development, I think Yuya shows a lot of potential, but after him saying "Dueling is about entertainment and smiles" over and over again, and being mopey because everyone's hurting eachother , It becomes apparent they just have no idea what to do with his character. Whereas Yuma, hasn't always been a strong character, but he grows and learns to stand up in the face of adversity. Seriously though, its weird how he stops being mopey for an episode or so, then he goes back to being mopey,etc. His character motivations are all over the place and its pretty bad writing tbh, the entire arc is pretty bad writing. The really need to give this subplot a rest imo. sorry for that rant, back on topic lol Tl;dr OP, I do recommend this series if you're a huge YGO fan and if you're willing to to go through 50 episodes of.. pretty much filler (I'm on episode 97 right now and its been pretty rough to get through, but i'm hoping it gets better after this story arc ends). Any other case and i'd say you're better off watching any other YGO series, and you can spend your time better somewhere else. |

Yeah, I know, everyone is different and has their own opinion :P. I'll agree with the fact that Arc-V has had a downfall after Synchro and I haven't been hyped as much as before, and maybe I've taken this a little personally. I don't know, it's just that some of my friends aren't willing to give Arc-V a chance after Zexal because they think it's gonna 100 times worse... after watching a couple episodes of the dub, to add to the injury. I think I stopped caring after a while for this issue however and just continued to enjoy the show myself. Vector was one of the central plots of Zexal so I guess that's a good thing - It literally started with vector and essentially ended with vector trying to be an outlier within the barian force. Just thought I'd point that out because I really enjoyed the second half of Zexal and not just because it subverted expectations, but because it took characters that were somewhat irrelevant and showed the audience why you should care about them. It was also just really fun. It knew what it was and had fun with it. Yeah I'll agree with the Vector thing, he was a wonderful villain and he made the series more bearable and fun for me. He carried the second half pretty well and did his job as well. Sadly I couldn't really get attached to most of the characters unlike with Arc-V, considering how most of Yuma's cheerleader groupie (I mean Numbers Club) didn't duel at all and didn't show as much potential as they could've. They didn't really have that many memorable moments in the series IMo. Yoshida (the writer) can write some pretty good stuff, but for most of the time he's a bit disorganized and doesn't give the girl characters (aside from Rio) any kind of chances. I haven't read the Arc-V manga, for which he is the writer, for a while but even in there Yuzu was just practically Yuya's manager and IIRC said she can't duel at all. I think the saddest part about Zexal is that because of the VA's contact, Kotori was forced into every episode but only dueled once - and her VA herself is a huge fan YGO and a really good player too. In terms of development, I think Yuya shows a lot of potential, but after him saying "Dueling is about entertainment and smiles" over and over again, and being mopey because everyone's hurting each other , It becomes apparent they just have no idea what to do with his character. Whereas Yuma, hasn't always been a strong character, but he grows and learns to stand up in the face of adversity. Seriously though, its weird how he stops being mopey for an episode or so, then he goes back to being mopey,etc. His character motivations are all over the place and its pretty bad writing tbh, the entire arc is pretty bad writing. They really need to give this subplot a rest imo. Yeah I can understand this point too. First he gets confident and then instantly loses his confidence and gets depressed. I can kinda understand this, considering his fucked up (not completely but yeah) childhood and Yusho's words ("When ye feel like crying, just smile and laugh!") which have practically brainwashed him from the start. He practically still worships his dad more than anything. People expected a lot from him since he was Yusho's son, and while he has gotten better and more confidence - he still believes that he needs to become Yusho 2.0. Not to mention his words are pretty much the only thing - aside from Yuzu & Gon - that have kept him sane throughout his whole childhood. I think he still should've been able to get out of the past which keeps haunting him and just become himself, and not try to be a new Yusho. I'll agree the writers don't seem to know how to develop Yuya. But he has still had some decent development throughout Standard & Synchro from where he learned a lot from his duels, but sometimes it feels like the writers have forgotten some of Yuya's strong points, which in turns waters his character down. Also my final words & Off-Topic: I really love your Tsuritama signature. :] |
