I don't know how they did it in VRAINS or Sevens, but there looks to be plenty of info on the cards here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=321wCzRSySw

And with the latest SEVENS episode everyone is at last back to normal, how many episodes are left now out of curiosity (I forget when Go Rush is supposed to begin)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOW7rnjRPfM Found this new video essay from some dude. It's a 70 min essay about 5D's that makes me want to go back and watch the whole series. Last time I tried, I dropped off after the Dark Signers arc because I thought the filler bits that came after that were too goofy for what I wanted but now I want to finish it.

Haven't watched that video but outside of a few standouts I feel the series does drastically fall off after Dark Signers. The plot slows to a crawl and a lot of the good character notes from the first two series are completely abandoned. The things I like most from after that are Crashtown and the Team Taiyou match (both can be watched pretty independently).

Crashtown is the Western town, right? Where the duel disc are just revolvers. Cause that is top tier Yugioh imo.

Crash Town owns now, but at the time it really dragged on. Literal months of them still being in cowboy town, doing nothing that mattered in any way to the overall plot. And that's in a season of almost season 1 GX-tier filler.

Crashtown is weirdly situated but it works well as an epilogue to Dark Signers imo.

I just like the setup. "Revovlers at noon except it's duel monsters" it rules.

Post-Dark Signers 5D's has it's moments, but as a whole it's a lot of weird and wasted plotlines, and a lot of it is just flat out boring and kind of a slog to get through. Crashtown owns though.

Yeah, the Dark Signers saga kind of feels like something that should have come during the back half of 5Ds as opposed to around the middle

Anyway post Dark Signers 5Ds is much weaker than what came before but I think it's still a better back half than a lot of the other series got.

Some shows do it better than others I feel. For example, SEVENS is currently on its last legs and that's stayed pretty consistent the whole way through in my opinion (GX and the original weren't too bad either in that regard as I recall)

I think that's fine. I like monster of the week stuff. The first half of the first season sets up the characters via school shenaningans and then the plot hits after a couple meaningless one-off duels. It works ok.

That model definitely didn't work for 5D's. I love the show, but I can't even recall what the main plot/resolution of season 3. Definitely recommend skipping through it. Any of the episodes centered around Jack are pretty good though like when he has to get a job to cover his maid cafe expenses or when he got an upgrade by defeating Satan. The WRGPX is mostly a dud, but there's some fun moments like Jack getting into a brutal crash and walking a lap so the team wouldn't forfeit, or the plot *really* wanting to make Crow out to be a big deal for just barely surviving against this evil duel monster spirit only for Jack to clean up the enemy team in under a minute. Jack may not have the most consistent character development but he's consistently The Best. The last two episodes are also really strong and there's no shame in just skipping to them because I think they work as a finale at any point.

The summoning of Shooting Quasar Dragon is the coolest, most triumphant moment in the entirety of 5D's, a moment that perfectly sums up the themes of the show and the character of Yusei...and then they ruin it by dragging the duel on afterward instead of letting that be the winning play. That kinda sums up all of the latter bits of 5D's for me. A bunch of stuff that should be cool and neat and fun but gets undermined by everything else around it.

I enjoyed how the Taiyou stuff seemed like it drew inspiration from how card games are played in the real world. Because if someone's on some stupid, terrible deck that miraculously managed to pop off then people are absolutely going to be cheering for it.SyntheticPolygon posted:Season 1 GX filler is solid imo.

My appreciation for GX season 1 might be because I only remember 2 episodes, one of them being the Mokey Mokey duel. The other being sandwich Tarzan.

The Grand Prix in season 1 is a filler arc that you could completely excise and not even realise it; Waking the Dragons is exceptionally stupid but it's a fun kind of stupid where you can get some enjoyment out of it, meanwhile the Grand Prix is boring and doesn't have any interesting duels.

The entire Virtual World arc is filler too, shoved into the series at the worst place possible.

Also even in the Japanese version (including the Toei produced “Season 0”), the show in general was toned down considerably from the original manga

That it happens alongside the villain's genuinely really interesting concept (Yusei from the future that got horribly warped by the hell he's lived) being revealed as a complete fake and he's only some dude that's a Yusei fan are why I can't like that fight as much as I want to. There's something really cool going on there - but so many missteps along the way.

I also think the Aphoria twist is pretty cool on paper but doesn't really matter.

And that's in a season of almost season 1 GX-tier filler. At the time, when the season was already doing tons of screwing around and avoiding the main plot, I found Crashtown absolutely intolerable. I thought it was the representation of everything that was wrong with the show at that point. Now I can at least appreciate it had some style. Still don't like that Jack and co. just got hosed off for two months for Kiryu to show up and do some stuff that winds up completely not mattering.
