Only the very original series. He had nothing to do with Duel Monsters onward. ...Thus when you watch Toei's Yugioh and you notice that the show doesn't even pay lipservice to the game having rules, or there's a noticeable lack of threat or tension in the matchs, or they invent interesting ideas or cards that completely flop and are underutilized you can guess it's Inoue.

which one is it, because toei's started with duel monsters

also part of the reason it didn't pay lip service to rules is the game came out the year before the show started which means it was already in production plus YGO has poo poo garbage rules anyway so yolo

Why does anyone still let him near television scripts?

Honestly I think it's mostly because of Jetman. As much as Burkion hates the poo poo out of Jetman a LOT of Sentai fans hold it in very high regard consider it one of the best in the franchise. To a certain tedious portion of the fanbase Jetman was the last good SERIOUS MATURE sentai series before Zyuranger ruined it forever by making their kid's show a show for kids. Also people remember Agito fondly. Really Inoue has been steadily employed for years, so sadly he isn't going anywhere.

No, the Toei Yugioh series refers specifically to the very first Yugioh anime that roughly adapts the first handful of volumes of the manga. Yugioh Duel Monsters is the better known show that covered the whole of the manga and launched the entire anime franchise, that one was done by Studio Gallop.

As for the rules the Toei series made a much bigger deal of the card game than the actual manga did, which possibly made sense since the manga was in Duelist Kingdom at this point. However and even in those early manga appearances the game kept roughly to a set of rules (albeit stupid ones) and the Toei anime never really even managed that.

Yugioh was so cool before they started relying entirely on that card game :negative:

Every chapter was like a hosed-up Twilight Zone where Yami basically rigged a game in order to plunge an rear end in a top hat with a gambling problem into an ironic hell dimension of his own choosing.

Crossposting this from my Power Rangers thread:

Power Rangers Shuriken comes exclusively to Netflix in 2017

So Power Rangers is becoming a Netflix-exclusive show, and they're not making a ToQger adaptation. Not a fan of this news...

Completely, unironically, this. If Power Rangers-Version Starninjer isn't called Rodeo Ranger and just non-stop, level 11 :911:/:clint: every second of every episode, then I don't even know what Saban thinks they're doing with their lives.

Like, I want all his scenes to turn into loving musicals from the second he morphs, where a crazy fiddle kicks in and he just starts barking out his lines like a Barn Dance MC. "Oooooh swing that saber do-si-do! Round and round and round it goes!"

I can have a reputation of being one of the grognards who only likes older things and SERIOUS MATURE stuff.

While I prefer serious over silly, especially the weird self referential stuff Sentai tends to devolve into, I have never had any illusions about Super Sentai being a kids show. I mean, for the love of Christ, the single most serious and dramatic Sentai series, Liveman, had a weaponized skateboard because it's a show literally made for kids.

Jetman was a show I really wanted to watch and enjoy because I heard a lot of good things about it. And then I watched it and holy poo poo nope.

I have no idea how anyone thinks this is a serious mature ANYTHING. People like to joke about the Noodlecup monster, but the problem is that he's not a joke- he's literally just a MOTW and if anything, his episode was one of the more straight faced ones! Hell at least his design was good- the other stupid monsters in the entire first half of Jetman are all god awful and unimaginative, often just giving whatever object it is a generic green monster man body and being done with it.

When things do get serious, it's not actually serious- it's melodramatic soap opera fair that is peak Inoue. The majority of the cast are unlikable, the action sucks, the giant robots AND monsters are boring- Jetman is an awful Sentai series.

At least Zyuranger had fantastically creative monsters and good action scenes, never mind how I feel about the children of the week plots and tone. I seriously do not understand how Jetman has the reputation it has. The entire first half is filled with stuff that would fit better in Carranger or GoOnger, and when it does get 'serious' it's really awful and boring. The final episode can also sit and spin for all its worth.


Bioman best Sentai for the record. Insane nonstop action with lasers and explosions 24/7 every day.

Decade had a Faiz that was worse than Faiz. That alone should be grounds for erasing it from existence.

I'm also a huge fan of the real Kuuga and not at all comfortable with the treatment Kuuga got in that show, but that's less important.

To its credit though, I did kind of like Decade's version of Hibiki better than the real one and thought the whole Kamen Rider Salaryman aspect of its Blade adaption was kind of neat (hell, I'd probably watch a whole show based on that concept). Kuuga I agree with you on though, especially since half the time he seemed to just forget he was a Kamen Rider himself. I think he only transformed like 5 or 6 times at the most in the entire series, movies included.

I don't accept "there is a good scene (that you can watch on youtube)" as an argument in favor of a series' quality.

Same reason the Giant Enemy Crab scene doesn't count.

Edit I still stand by the opinion that Kabuto has the largest suit quality:show quality gap. All the suits just look so loving slick, and I will love the aesthetics of TheBee until the day I die.
