There is an entire episode in the dub dedicated to fellating Dan Green's Dark Yugi voice and it is loving magical, that Japanese version's equivalent of that episode is nowhere near as good.

There's a lot of teasing that relationship throughout the whole series to the point where Leo and Luna are sarcastically commentating on how they're the third wheel on a date between the two of them and the last episode has Aki confessing her feelings and Yusei accepting them with a very obvious kiss cut. So yes, a Yugioh series had a canon girlfriend for the protagonist.

I'm up to 4 episodes of Arc-V and I love the designs of Stargazer and Timegazer magicians. Pendulum is a cool idea, but it seems really stupid in how much it can let you do, but hey I guess you actually need the cards to do it with first. I'm ready to see other people besides Yuya duel like Yuzu and Gongenzaka, but it's been fun so far.

Oh man, Arc-V has been rough for the past like... 10 episodes. Among the duels we don't need to see for Yuya to get in the tournament there are actual interesting things happening in the background that we barely get to see. Every duel goes exactly the same and the only people who aren't Yuya so far that have dueled in this little time frame are the LDS Students and they get what Sawatari got, an entire episode dedicated to them dominating the opponent and then the opponent pulls his bullshit win card because they are going to be more important than them.

Did you like it? Got some opinions? Thoughts? Theories?

After having caught up I have deduced that Arc-V is... very good. On top of the duels managing to evolve in interesting ways, the characters develop in fun ways as well. I especially like characters like Gongenzaka and Sawatari. Sawatari is especially great, because he is like the first rival character I have seen who adapts to his rival on both a dueling level and a showmanship level. The more he develops the more he becomes an entertainment duelist himself and it's loving great. His second duel with Yuya is fantastic and it was going between him and Gongenzaka as my favorite character for a while and that duel clutched it for him. I've grown to like the dimension stuff more than when I was first introduced to it. It brings an interesting way to not only still make older summoning methods relevant, but also allow new characters to be brought into the fold without a million years of build up. The Xyz characters feel alright for the most part, but I still feel Kurosaki being completely unflappable during his fight with Sora kinda sucked. I liked that duel, but coming off of Yuya vs Sawatari 2, it's just not as good.

Pendulum Monsters are cool, Superheavy Samurai are cool, Yuzu is cool, everyone at the Duel School is a lot of fun except Futoshi whose catchphrase I hate and blegh. I dunno how I feel about the current way the tournament is being handled, it feels like it's kind of a messy way to advance the plot, but I also am kind of tired of this tournament so yeah. I dunno it feels like the series is at a point where a million things can happen and if they happen in the right way I will love and if they happen the wrong way it becomes the second half of GX all over again for me.

If you are really going to watch Zexal, I suggest liveblogging it to get the snark out of your system. There's always a market for that sort of thing.

Oh I'm sure I will have words to say about considering the first episode alone made me go.

"Why do neither of Yuma's parents look like him?"
"Why is the first episode moving so fast?"
"Why do I need to feel the flow?"
"I still hate Xyz monsters."

I think that might be a consequence of being a English dub on broadcast TV. I think some scenes have to be sped up slightly because of the way commercials work differently here than in Japan.
I've started watching the dub too, coincidentally. My thoughts:

Yuma's voice is worse than the original, but he's somehow more tolerable by virtue of not spouting his stupid catchphrase literally every sentence.
I can't stop laughing every time Shark opens his mouth. His voice is so over the top.
The dub opening is a loving million times better than 5D's.

I hate the dub opening, like I legit almost stopped watching the episode entirely because I utterly despise the dub opening.

Kochidoki or whatever going "But don't XYZs get counted as lvl 0? :( " redeemed his whole character

I laughed at both this and him slapping Yuya's hand away, it's the funniest thing about that whole episode.

Why the gently caress is Yuma actively ignoring advice? How is this making him a fun character in any way? The fact that the loving alien spirit creature actively finding a way around the idiocy of the main character so he doesn't die is an insane conflict point.
