e:^^ Odd-Eyes looks great, but that CG Yuya is just hilariously bad. SyntheticPolygon posted:For Zexal i'd say give with the subs since apparently the dub ended abruptly and there is no dub of Arc V yet, so it's subs or bust. Are you sure you're not mixing it up with 5Ds? Because when I talked to one of the voice actors about Arc-V they said that they had already finished recording all of Zexal. It wasn't that big a loss for 5Ds or GX anyway since their final arcs are both god-awful. Kay Kessler fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jan 13, 2015 |

alcharagia posted:Another unpopular opinion I have: I don't mind, hell, I like Crow Hogan, I think he is a down dude It's not that Crow's a bad character, he's just the worst of the Joey characters. I mean, you've got Joey, Syrus, Shark and Gongenzaka, all really interesting characters in their own right. And then you have Crow, who's just... there. Nothing bad, but nothing good. Although if the Crystal Beast guy is considered a Joey character, then he's definitely the worst of the bunch.

Just a heads up for any dub fans in the thread; by the end of the month, all spinoffs (Arc-V excluded) should have Season 1 DVDs available to buy. GX and Zexal are already out, with 5Ds realeasing something soon. At least in the US. Not sure about other areas.

Dragonatrix posted:I got so confused when Xyz first showed up in Arc-V since I never saw anything of Zexal. They really could have picked a better name, since the current one led to me not being wowed by mystery goggle ninja and more of a "man I don't remember Kaiba having to do this when he used that dragon thing." The name is supposed to represent the the coordinates on a star map (x-axis, y-axis, z-axis). What's really weird is that early subs translated it as Exceed, even though there's not a single d-sound in the japanese name.

Dexie posted:4kids only has like, five voice actors that they endlessly recycle between all of their shows. Well, they're not really owned by the company or anything. It's just that 4K is one of the few noteworthy companies in New York that hire voice actors, ever since other NY dubbing companies like Media Blasters and NYAV shut down. It's pretty much just them and Pokemon USA. Also, since a lot of New York voice actors like Eric Stuart and Dan Green have either retired or just aren't doing as much voice work anymore, more and more roles are being given to new talent. All of the Arc-V dub VAs that have so far been announced are relatively new.

Voice acting just isn't as big a thing for a lot of the older VAs anymore. Eric Stuart is busy with his music career, and Dan has kids to take care of.

ThermoPhysical posted:Other things about Pendulum Summons (since I run a Pendulum Deck and all A few small corrections: While the Pendulum Summon itself cannot be stopped, the activation and summoning can be negated. So while Dust Tornado wouldn't stop it, a card like Solemn Judgement would. And your example would be valid, since the numbers are two numbers apart. A Pendulum Scale of 3 and 4 would not work though, since there are no monster levels between those two numbers.

Silento posted:TBH I found Re-Contract Universe to be one of the most ridiculous (in a good way!) things in ZeXal, and I was sad that it didn't show up again. That's probably true of all the spinoffs. Each one always felt unfinished to me. Especially GX. SyntheticPolygon posted:I heard Zexal was really popular in Japan though, so I don't know why it'd be cancelled. Or am I misinformed? Yeah, it was pretty big in Japan. It's got a lot of the stuff that Japanese audiences eat up; catchphrases, puns, exaggerated expressions, those omake scenes at the end of the episodes, etc.

I don't know if it's true, but there was a pretty common rumor that the show was cut short because of issues with KENN's contract. Something about them not wanting to renew it for another year when they probably wouldn't need him for the entire year.

Beef Waifu posted: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. The dub soundtrack had some good songs too, I think. I remember the composer had them up on his site to listen to and some were really good, about on par with the Japanese tracks.

AnacondaHL posted:Not that I'm close to starting Zexel yet, but are the dubs passable? I really don't want to look directly into the yugioh I watched the first two episodes when they aired, from what I can remember it was a pretty standard kid's anime dub. If you've ever seen the Nintendo-made Pokemon dubs, its like that but with less wooden acting. Yuma's voice was okay, but from clips of it I've seen it gets worse (i.e. nasally) as the series goes on. Other than that, I don't remember it being any worse than the original Japanese, and was better in some ways. I'll probably start watching it soon, but I'm a) waiting for the whole thing to be completed, and b) I'm watching the 5Ds dub for the first time and having just finished the Dark Signers arc, which means I now have to suffer through the loving WRGP all over again.

Blaze Dragon posted:The best thing is that it was totally pointless. You can lose twice in the WRGX (...it was that, right?) before getting kicked out, Team 5D's never loses. They could've lost this, to a team that actually showed more skill, and instead they win in an incredibly stupid way because the opponent suddenly becomes mentally retarded and decides that winning is less important than...some weird, out of place, nonsensical pride. To make things worse, every other team in their bracket was rendered unable to compete by either Team Catastrophe or the Battle Royale against that robot army. They didn't even win their second match, they just advanced by default. The writers could have easily had them lose once. Also, I don't know if this plot point was a dub-only thing or not, but it seemed like they foreshadowed that they would eventually face Ushio in the tournament. That would have been so much better than what we got instead.

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

Blaze Dragon posted:You're thinking of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, which indeed doesn't need a Fusion card to be formed and needs Cyber Dragon + 1 or more Machines, and gets 1000 attack for each Fusion Material Monster used to make it. Fortress Dragon also upped Cyber Dragon's splashability. Since it can use monsters from anywhere on the field to fuse, anyone could just put one in their Extra Deck and have a handy counter to your opponents' machines.

I mentioned it a few pages back, but one of the composers for the 5Ds dub uploaded some tracks to his site, and some of them are actually really good. They just tend to be drowned out on the show. On a different note, the 5Ds dub is probably the only time I ever said to mayself, "wow, you know who's a really good actor in this? Jason Griffith!". Well, that and the Zetman dub he was in.

Rigged Death Trap posted:The Entermages/Performagicians though seem to be the most anti-burn archetype ever, and I really like that. Maybe thats what the Enterma*/Performa* archetypes will be all about, control. Maybe, but Yuya probably won't run a control deck. The whole "hot-blooded shounen hero" thing doesn't mesh well with a deck like that. . Personally, I've had a good deal of luck running a Performapal beatdown deck with Cheermole at the center. It seems to piss a lot of people off to be beaten by cutesy-looking monsters.

Whelp, finally finished the Duel Carnival Arc. Now onto the actually decent parts of Zexal.  I gotta say, quality of the original work aside, I'm liking this dub over the 5Ds one. But other than Black Mist, a filler episode starring Dan Green, and a brief cameo of one of the best yugioh villains, there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy that happened in the show itself. I did get to hear Yami with a southern accent and a minor villain that sounded like if Tracey from Pokemon was evil, so it wasn't a complete loss. Looking forward to how a certain character - the aforementioned villain - is voiced.
