Beef Waifu posted:Alister (Amelda) hates Kaiba Corp. and wants to destroy it because when it was a weapons company they killed his brother in the crossfire. The best thing about the dub version of this is that they cut his backstory flashback short, so there was a jump cut to his brother getting suddenly kidnapped by tanks in the split second he wasn't looking.

Dabir posted:A new showrunner took over, wrapped up all the plot stuff in season 2 as quickly as possible and then went full steam ahead with generic shonen bullshit 101. Carly didn't disappear, that's the worst bit, she became a waitress in Jack's favourite cafe where he drinks absurdly expensive coffee and every so often was called upon to swoon over him with the other waitress there. The Crash Town arc was pretty cool though.

ThermoPhysical posted:No one's going to mention Yuya, Yuzu, Gongenzaka, and Shun's draws that are a loving spectacle to watch with glitter and everything? Yuzu's special draw even includes musical notes. Shun's draw is apparently so strong, it causes birds to fly away. You're arguing this about the series that shows off a guy going through enthusiastic card drawing exercises? That's obviously the result of hard work and lots of practice, god.

A Meat posted:Unrelated, is ARC-V worth watching objectively, as opposed to just being way better than Zexal? It's being directed by the same guy who did 5D's, so Zexal might not be the best fit for comparison. I never watched anything past the first episode of Zexal, but I'm enjoying Arc-V a lot, more than I think I did 5D's at the same point. I kind of regret getting into it this early, because it's a really good series to marathon, since there's little in the way of filler, and the overarching plot is actually really interesting but not one with a lot of resolution just yet, though part of it might just be because of anything to do with parallel universes being extremely my poo poo. Arc-V is also good about giving its recurring female characters a proper amount of focus, and they actually are proactive about working towards their own goals and to better themselves. And it also sometimes has its own silly poo poo, like two guys using their duel disks like lightsabers or a trap in a war zone being a literal trap card.

I got to say, watching the Memory World arc for the first time has never made me more desperate for someone to play a drat card game. It's pretty obvious the animation budget petered out, but good god are these Persona anime battles dull.

ThermoPhysical posted:New episode of ARC-V is pretty drat crazy. From NeoArkCradle's "MasterGhost": Are you sure about this? Because I didn't catch that at all, and I wouldn't say they look anything alike. But more importantly, little Reiji apparently wore a sweater as part of his casual outfit. His dorky fashion sense is the best.

ThermoPhysical posted:That's not actually from me, it's from the original poster on the NeoArkCradle forums. That's true, but I didn't see it specifically getting confirmed in the specific episode. The most direct line about it is Reiji saying he's Akaba Leo's son, but that's basically the same thing as when he said that Leo is his father in earlier episodes. It's an old detail either way.

Nah, he lost to Duke in a regular card game. It's Yugi who had to play the dice one. And Joey did agree to Duke's conditions in the first place, so it's kind of his own fault for being cocky.

Dabir posted:You don't have to. Stop. It's for your own good. I dunno, the ancient Egypt stuff in DM kind of sucked once you got to see it. The ancient shadow games were talked up at every opportunity, but once you actually got to there, there were no games at all. Everyone was just using the monsters as another tool of war. And because of the whole Bakura running a gamesmaster setup thing, on top of all that you never got to find out what actually happened thousands of years ago. Maybe the manga is more generous with the details, but from what I've read about it, it sure dropped the Duelist subtitle for a reason.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Wow. These new Pendulum cards are bullshit and the near one turn kills from this episode were incredibly lame. If there's one thing I dislike about Arc V it's how a lot of these kind of minor duels always have the unimportant guy instantly annihilate the protagonist without losing a life-point in order to make it into an underdog battle.The actual important duels tend to avoid this but it's still really annoying. I disagree. I think they do a good job creating tension, especially because the fate of the world isn't tied to winning the tournament and losing a match here doesn't mean you're automatically knocked out. It's a filler duel sure, but the fact that Yuya could lose is enough to keep me invested.

SyntheticPolygon posted:To be fair though, doesn't Yugi only lose once not including Filler? And that's when Kaiba threatens to commit suicide if Yugi beats him. I don't think main protagonists lose in Yugioh, like ever. I love how close the series came to self-referencing this in the Grand Championship arc in season 5, with Kaiba blowing off the villain's literally hacked super magic card/virus with total confidence in Yugi's protagonist abilities.

Eeevil posted:So, just to be clear about whether or not we're actually arguing about anything here, do you actually think it was important to the show's narrative that they have Masumi get beaten before Yuzu got a rematch with her? Because I think it would be really easy to establish Shun as a strong duelist without him having to specifically beat Masumi, and I do genuinely think that jobbing someone out devalues them as a threat, even if that isn't the intent. I think you're glossing over a second component here, that Masumi went out and challenged Shun because she cares enough about her professor and has the drive to try to avenge him. That Hokuto and Yaiba back her up show how close friends they all are. It's a duel that demonstrates more of the Xyz guys' strength and gives depth to the LDS kids' characters.

Blaze Dragon posted:Talking about that, you know who I really want to see in a duel? Shuzou. He was holding back against Yuya (something that was said on-screen) and the series has hinted pretty hard that he can use Fusion and Synchro (he doesn't teach Xyz because he's never done it, but he teaches Fusion and Synchro, which means he has done both). Plus we know he's skilled from Yoko's comments (that he could easily be a tournament player if he didn't care more for teaching). It'd be cool to see him BURN! HOTBLOODED! He runs a Fire King deck in Tag Force, and his Garunix is the bane of my existence.

Yugo's first thought when he landed in the ice field was that he traveled through time to a distant future where humanity was wiped out. (I appreciate the 5D's nod, intentional or not.) He's the biggest idiot in this show and I love it.

I know I ragged on Yugo last episode, but considering his flashbacks to Fusion attacking his dimension, he probably is an actual time-traveler and went after Yuto earlier because he thought he was Yuri. Somewhat unrelated, I appreciate what Sawatari screentime I can get, but I still can't get over his weird, creepy chuckle. Strange Quark fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Mar 17, 2015 |
