Yoshida is getting each time more obvious.

I feel the most likely out come is all the duelist gathered by Akira but Playmaker are losing and being deleted soon and Yusaku resorting to find support in all the other lost incident kids afterwards.

This is your endgame villain

Abandon hope

AI has always been the best character in Vrains sense he actually has a personality.

The Duel was incredibly fast pace and Queen jobbed at record speeds. Potentially our first female villain and she jobs spectacular. Based Yoshida. Queen using Allure Queen is somewhat interesting I guess. The Link Allure Queen don't look all that cool to me.

AI doesn't have a really cool boss monster. Just a decode ripoff.

5/10 episode for me. Just a decent introduction to AI and roboppy. The Duel did nothing for me

You do realize Go is the one who disappears with the most frequency?

He is literally the second jobber on this series, first one being Aoi. Queen was just a mock up duelist.

So when are we getting info on the next series?

Hopefully soon. And please, I rather take Ono again before Yoshishit. Actually, anyone is better than Yoshida, even newcomers.

I'd love to have Yoshida on with a female protagonist just to see him squirm.

I wonder what he'd do to make her as pathetic as possible. Probably introduce a sidekick who ends up being the real MC

I'd like to see a newcomer the most
They might be able to break the Yugioh cycle and standard tropes

user please, shareholders are the real villians in real life.

I hereby declare that if something like that yoshida, not only he will become one of the most hated directors in all japan and any other country that have a way to acknowledge the existence of this man, but also his reputation will be so bad, he will have to either get good and do something about his shit writing, or literally become something else

>He is literally the second jobber on this series, first one being Aoi.

You tell me

I honestly wonder how people live with autism, like do you really just see what you want to see but only for unimportant shit like a female's screentime in a shitty card comerical.

Yeah I don't think you do.

And I don't care, fuck off. Take yoshida with you while you are at it
I literally started to watch other animes, including cardfight, and they are a million times better than vrains. And even if female get treated badly in the other animes, at least they are not obvious like here

For real. I thought Vrains had a lot of potential when it was first released, but it's been a huge disappoint. Vrains is honestly one of the worst ygo series I've watch. Mind you, I haven't watched Zexal and Arc V.

Isn't Nobu the MC? And besides, of course Yoshida can write women serving people dinner like that's a fucking challenge to his world view lmao

theyre the ones pushing for the AI android apocalypse, so I guess yes

Why do you write like a 4th grader?

user, you might be better off taking a break

>ZEXAL
Not really impressive but is way more fun and hype
>Arc-V
Your opinion may differ. Some people don't care about the ending, other think that the ending ruined everything, regardless there is a high chance that you will love the first half, then there is a half-half you will like Synchro too, and after that the percentage of liking may either drop or increase depending on your taste
Go watch them, one will be fun for you, the other will make you either love it and rage, or love it forever, or both.

I seriously don't know how someone could watch the first 5 episodes of Vrains and think it was going anywhere good

If you thought Vrains was wasted potential then you should never watch Arc V. That shit was a nightmare that left the fanbase traumatized.

>tag duel
fucking finally some team duels. only took them 106 episodes

those 2 are signifigantly worse than vrains ever got, kind of places vrains directly in the middle

>And I don't care, fuck off. Take yoshida with you while you are at it
Ono directed 5DS and Yoshida was the lead writer for it. They can both work on the same series.

I guess the concept of co leads is lost.

I've tried to get into vanguard anime a few times but its visual presentation is so stock and stiff. Even more than Vrains

Wrong thread, bro.

Zexal is fun. Yuma might be a bit annoying but Zexal was hard carried by the rivals and villains. I'd say give it a watch.
I'd say Vrains is objectively worse than Arc-V but I hate Arc-V more because it started off good and then became disappointing. At least I never had high expectations for Vrains.

Yeah the visuals are definitely worse and closer to a low grade production but it compensates for that with everything else, especially the music

Yeah its really terrible all around dont bother. Like literally everything wrong with yugioh is ramped up to an even blander end product in cardfight so I have no clue what the hell that one user is talking about

It reminds me of that one /m/ tard that kept dunking on planet with but instead shilled zoids wild of all things instead.

I can't wait to see what Cyberse witch's dark version looks like. When is Ai erasing someone next?

Both those series are great! I personally love Arc-V despite everything. And ZEXAL was pretty fun too! It took me a while to finally liked it, though.
Yeah, VRAINS is literally bad at this point but I am here watching to see some good moments. Wish Queen could have attacked with Allure Queen and Gold Allure Queen, at least I could have know their attack names. Also
>no summon chant
Missed opportunity.
By the way, I wonder how will Quickdraw user rate this episode, considering he really likes VRAINS (it does surprise me, but hey, at the very least somebody out there is trully enjoying it unlike me)
Honestly they should have been here sooner...
Still haven't watched Vanguard but I don't really care about visuals as long as the thing I see are good, fun and the show is also fun.

VRAINS is in no way worse than Arc-V on an "objective writing quality" level.

No sane person will argue against this, Arc-V once it gets bad is objectively worse than any other yugioh by a laaaaarge margin, the only real debatable thing is whether it ruins the decent parts, which it kind of does a 2nd half is significantly more important than a first half and it fucks up any build up or positive character point throughout the entirety of its 2nd half.

First they need to confirm she will get one, a darker DARK booty. Get it? Because she is DARK and she may get and even more DARKER.

I'm just saying you're hardly rebuking the point that Yoshida would struggle with a FeMC when the example you give is

1. A co-lead, not a lead(and really second billing anyways.)

2. A fucking waitress.

Yoshida is absolutely fine at writing women in traditional gender roles, one might say he excels at it. But with a YGO series with a FeMC where the FeMC has to win more than she loses, I think that's where Yoshida's brain would short circuit

A lot of fans praise Arc V's first season. Later on, the series tries to do a really ambitious arc, and fuck it up, and supposedly gives us the worst ending of all of ygo.

May give Arc V a chance for the 1st season, since it's the most hyped.

Ai's not using dark version of Yusaku's deck. He has an evil decode and evil linkuriboh but the rest of the deck seems to be different.
This is a good thing, edgy reskins of old monsters is a stale trope tbqh. Glad they stopped at 2 monsters

I'd say the action magic - kaihi moments and others like it are overall more aggravating (especially when "action" duels start getting really lazy later on) than the duel writing in zexal.
Thinking about it, action duels in general were probably a huge headache for the staff as well

What a great episode. It had me laughing through it and Queen using Allure queens was really exciting. Ai's voice is really great, I really like it. I can't wait to watch him dueling someone stronger like Soulburner or Revolver.

Arc-V starts out great then nosedives terribly.

Vrains, from what I've seen, has remained consistently boring

So was this petty revenge or did Queen have something he wanted from her and she actually challenged him? It just seems like Queen isn't worth dueling as her skill is awful.

Arc-V also sucked at doing the new boss monster forms.

I might actually watch this episode if it's filled with a YGO character being a chuuni

It's a female protagonist, you're just autistic.

>ACTION MAGIC - EVASION
Literally the "I activate this trap card that negates damage batte etc" like in VRAINS with Mirror Force thing
>YOU STILL TAKE THE DAMAGE
A good meme
>what are we even doing in this dimension again
Synchro, they wanted to ask help from the people out there, Xyz they ended up there by chance and now they have to survive, Fusion invading Academia. Yes it wasn't really that well made but the "what are we even doing" isn't really real

That's your opinion. There are still some "the people behind this are really trying even if is little" feeling when I see things like Yuya vs Leo, Yuya vs Yuri, Hyugo vs Rin, Yuya and Yuto vs Ruri and Serena, etc.
I continue in next post

It's all part of his plan. The Tower of Hanoi. Mirror Link Vrains. And now Ai's rebellion. This is all happening so he can become top dog in SOL. The real chess pieces were the main characters all along.

It depends, some people really hate everything after Synchro, other from Fusion or Xyz, and other just hate the finale. Then there are others like me that can see some sense in everything but also agree that how they developed was not really good
As I say, you can consider me an unsane person and I couldn't care less, if you really enjoy VRAINS then good for you, but VRAINS is objectively worse.

Agreed, sadly.

We just need to eliminate female characters altogether then. Stop giving people false hope.

I honestly don't remember what the message of the Yuya vs Jack duel at the end of synchro was supposed to be. Yuya has to find his own egao instead of trying to please everyone? Or he's not egao-ing in the specific correct way to achieve pleasing everyone to bring city-wide peace? Was Jack even supposed to be right about any of that shit? Why did Shinji go from "EVERYONE RIOT!!!" to cheering on Yuya for city peace within one cut?

Was any of it relevant at all once Yuya landed in Xyz?

This show is aimed at teenagers. Not disgruntled anons.

Arc-V and Vrains are the gen 6 an gen 7 of their franchise, after this it's only gonna get worse even if they do the unthinkable and give a girl the protagonist slot. Even through there are some girl leads in shonen there are few girls into shitty ads for even shittier toys so having one for YGO would be a waste only waifufags would be interested and most of those send their money on porn, figures and concert tickets rather than the show's actual merch, we have waifufag decks like Magician Girls, Witchcrafter, Strikers, Melodious, Cat Dancers, Cyber Angel, Charmers, Fortune Fairies and Melodious and not a single one of those decks are good or top tier and are barely pet deck tier.

No, not literally at all. One of them is a free use, and the other is a -1

Yuya was supposed to find his own way to entertain and make people smile instead of relying in the same methods his father did. However with all the pressure, trying to find Yuzu, meet her and miss her, enduring a lot of shit, knowing that he has to win and not lose, is pretty obvious that he has a lot of conflict inside. One could argue that the way they handled it could have been better, but in a sense I could understand it at least.

Was a duel needed for that? Honestly, after 5 other series I hate wasting time on female duelists they never put up an interesting fight Yoshida should have did us a favor and had Ai steal it without dueling or even hospitalizing her, she just gets robbed and fired and we never see her again, the end. It feels like a waste to show Ai's first solo duel against a nobody bitch like Queen

I'm saying the waitress isn't the MC. She gets second billing. Nobu-san is.

I didn't really get 'cunt' from him, just very ineffective and a flop of a character. But in that brief time he was dueling vs Yuri he was good. Only during that duel, though.

The story doesn't work if you take one or the other out. Nobu is also in Shinobu's name. half the chapters are about her. Damn this is stupid.
>I think if anything you're the autist here, lol.
No, they complain about women not being important, being poorly written. The card games seem secondary to the complaints.

Just realized it. Really cool.

It's not even about whether they play card games. It's about maintaining an audience.

Reminds me of Heartland City

IIRC, Lyrical Luscinia was fine too.

Dennis is one of the few characters whose dignity was intact until the end, his duel against him in the finale was more of a bonding with one of his oldest enemies, plus they share the EM/Performa decks.
With Shun I am convinced that he was literally the punchbag even until the end so maybe they actually though about making Yuya help him recover, since Yuya endured a lot of shit but managed to overcome it, yet Shun was still despairing, he wanted to help him in a way.
The Rin and Hyugo part was solely for them though.

I complain more about poor writing than not being important.

>No, they complain about women not being important, being poorly written. The card games seem secondary to the complaints.

What?
Yusaku only works at the shop like once in a while, there's no way Aoi doesn't at least recognize the face of the real owner of the hotdog shop. Even if we assume she only visits when yusaku's around then she should've at least glanced at the shop everytime she visits that general area to see if yusaku's there and she should definitely have seen kusanagi working there once or twice right? Unless she only ever visit that area whenever Yusaku happen to be working by coincidence or red string of fate or bad writing
Or maybe they'll pull a superman glasses trope and say that the hat makes kusanagi unrecognizable?

Well that's probably more than half the franchise depending on how you define "good at card games". Judai played fucking neo spacians and people act like he was good.

Woman MC are Always shit, not even once was I able to finish a Season with female mc.

Men rule upon the world and all stuggle is futile

>hey lets market this card game to girls now
I was talking about boys who wouldn't watch if there were no girls. There's other merchandise and ads to consider than just card games.

GX was like the only time where they break conventions with the Protagonist and Rival.

He pretty much has to see a lot of shit happening, until he snapped. Then after becoming Z-ARC, he managed to regain himself with the help of a few of his friends, Reiji being notorious with the Pendulum swinging to him again, and Yuzu talking to him while being naked. That and his other parts (specially Yuri who was calm about being inside him, he was a true creepy) helping him made him actually control Z-ARC and defeat him. After that he was freed

Right, because he won with Neo Spacians. Which, is a bit of a stretch, but we suspend our disbelief with the anime. Otherwise the protagonists would all be sweaty neckbeards who literally stink too much and ask for the judge to intervene every five fucking seconds.

If appearances mattered that much, Aoi would've deduced that Yusaku is Playmaker given hoe similar they look. Kusanagi appearing in his avatar doesn't matter since apparently no one gives a shit how much your virtual likeness is like your actual likeness.

You must really hate this world right now to hide in a card game commercial, but female characters can be both fun and great MC.

Attached: lina.jpg (368x327, 31K)

Yoshida was fine at writing Yuzu in the manga but he made her a female gender role type character to the point I think he implied she was somehow Yuya's mother???

Yoshida also had Shark have this female MC called Luna in the Zexal manga and she was exactly the same as all his works - emotionally supportive but a complete jobber.

So yeah I don't buy "But he wrote a waitress FeMC well!" as a counter to "Yoshida couldn't write a FeMC who has to consistently win card games well."

I don't know WHY, but for some reason Yoshida just doesn't like women winning card games. Just can't stomach the thought.

Then clearly you need to suspend your disbelief even more and realize that these writers don't care about win records. Lightning won that last duel.

>with
*with feMCs

But women love the current practices since they like the male characters and especially love fujobait.
Something like making Roboppy a boy is more marketing towards the women because it gives them a ton of fujobait which is what they seem to like the most in Yugioh.

And even Soul Eater sorta bungled the ending

That never was posited. The idea he never wrote female main character in an okay way was just wrong though.

Kusanagi works there 99% of the time and Yusaku only rarely replaces him. I mean unless she coincidentally never visits the hotdog stand except whenever yusaku's working there she should've at least seen kusanagi working at the stand at least once right? Even if we assume that she hates hotdogs and never visits the stand unless yusaku's there to talk to him then she should've at least glanced over at the hotdog stand whenever she visits that general area to check if yusaku's working or not and would've at one point saw kusanagi instead of yusaku right?

True, Judai even had more legit losses than any other MC, Yubel had him beat the only way to win was to fuse their souls together with Super polymerization and use that to drive the light of destruction from Yubel purifying it and ending the duel without a result, Yuma's shitty dueling skill was always used as comedy think about it, he pulled some sick moves to defeat Astral yet the next day he loses to Rio in a duel like it's nothing as if the writers were flat out mocking us by having a retard duelist, and it hurt even more because you can count the number of times Yuya won a duel without action cards on one hand when they promised us when synchro started that he would start dueling more like a protagonist.

I just do not understand, speed dueling and action dueling managed to be even worse than turbo dueling, as even when they introduced the counter system back in the second half of 5D's it still made it look like the characters had skill. Maybe it's because both players had the same abilities where as with speed and action duels it's all bullshit that works at the writer's convenience.

The next season will be based on Tag Duels, dual male and female protagonists.
The new summoning mechanic will be Reproduction Summon.

The entire post was that it'd be funny as hell to see him try to write a FeMC who has to consistently win card games you fucking autist.

You tried to "counter" that with "B-but he wrote a second billed waitress in an anime not about card games k-kinda well!"

That's fine but we're talking about card games kiddo. Not about Yoshida's ability to semi-competently portray a waitress.

>female characters can be both fun and great MC.
Exemple please?
also i dont hate the world, im a MC of my world no puny female can take that away even if im straight

Maka was kinda a crap MC, she could never handle anything without Soul, if anything she was the normalfag who keeps all her weirdo friends and boyfriend grounded. Medaka Box doesn't count at all because Medaka herself isn't even a character, she's a parody who changes personalities on a whim for whatever joke the author wants to make, Lala has never been the lead of TLR, she's Rito's prize at best and closest cum dumpster at worse, Yami, Mei and Nana and Momo also shit the bed protagonist wise, their entire characters revolve around their interactions with Rito and finally, Claire was such a nothing lead in Claymore that she disappeared for a while and nobody really cared, but in my opinion Claymore had a shitload more problems than it's boring as hell protagonist, writing females outside gender roles is fucking hard

If they were to ever make a female protagonist for the shoe they'd write her like a boy at best and a bitchy polarizing girl at best. Look what happened to Rage of Bahamut when the lead changed to a female, she ruined the entire franchise, then there's the one female lead in the Jojo series, she's the least popular, her reign is the least liked Jojo and people would rather forget she exists. the only time a female lead can work well is if the rest of the cast is also majority female, see Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia, even now we still get threads about Ryuko and Akko but they quickly go into either Satsui, Diana, Sucy,Mako, Nonon or Chariot rather than them

>I'd love to have Yoshida on with a female protagonist just to see him squirm.

why do some anons need a female MC /so/ badly? it's not like the penis or vagina of a character can save them from bad writing. and yugioh already sells attractive 2d girls through the cards.

It's been several years since I read/watched any Soul Eater so maybe my positive impression is just going off of remembering that I wasn't particularly offended by Maka. I also forgot about LWA, but that isn't really 'shounen-y'. Poputepipikku and Aggretsuko have relatively popular female MCs that are also recent, but they're not shounen. Does Houseki no Kuni count as shounen?
But nearly all the female mcs that hit it off with a wider audience sit outside of shounen

Arc-V started going down hill during Synchro. It's last truly great moment, not surrounded by bullshit, was Yuya vs Reiji 2.

> VRAINS is objectively worse than Arc-V.

It is not. This is quantifiable.

People often criticize VRAINS as being boring or slow-paced, but the trade off for that is consistency. It's a very careful show.

Arc-V is a hot mess with weak themes, characters, setting, and plot.

I really don't think there was one.

It was just so ridiculous that they had a tournament right after a huge tournament.

No you can't compare this to Duelist Kingdom and Battle City because the pacing and transition was totally different.

it's Arc-V fault
I remember to see posts like ''I found out about Yea Forums thanks to arc-v" a lot

>last truly great moment, not surrounded by bullshit, was Yuya vs Reiji 2
This user gets it. Probably the last duel where it felt like it all came together to reach a boiling point with two characters of clashing priorities and ideals intensely focusing on delivering the full literal and metaphorical smackdown to each other. There have been decent to good duels since then, even in Vrains, but not to that kind of catharsis

This doesn't make sense to me since at the time we didn't even know what Yusho's style consisted of. Nor did we have a very clearly defined understanding of how Yuya duels beyond "grab action card, OTK."

user pls, clear your username before posting

This is bait.

I cannot stand predictable shit, and boring shit. I take Arc-V big mess over VRAINS any day. I rather feel and get some hype moments, rather than just wanting a season to just end.
>No you can't compare this to Duelist Kingdom and Battle City because the pacing and transition was totally different.
Yes I can, the times from both Standard and Synchro were completely different. Not to mention that it was ruled by Jean Pierre.
I really hope VRAINS have a tournament arc, maybe AI organize a Battle Royale? That would be nice, I already hate VRAINS but I rather not hate it more if they don't have a tournament.

Getting rid of all the female duelists is a good thing.

better yet
a battle royale, only the 100 remaning humans of den city will get to live in the robot world

At this point I don't think Yusaku would even mind if she knows his identity.
He just never bothered telling her since there's no point in it.

It was by far the best one. This episode had some amazing visuals.

I don't think people actually dislike Jolyne. At least, the western fanbase doesn't dislike Jolyne. What people dislike about Stone Ocean is that it runs on for fucking ever in the prison, when you know they want to break out and know that they intend to break out, and know that they ultimately WILL break out.

And then, of course, there's the ending. Which I'm not even sure is a spoiler at this point, but I won't go into regardless.

The animator doing Ai's cuts in this seems to be different from whoever did the monster animation (Junpei Ogawa?), but I can tell the former still has passion despite lack of raw drawing skills, possibly due to younger age/inexperience.

Feels kind of odd to see that outside of a Noh episode since all Yugioh anime has done the past 3+ years is slowly lose their passionate talented workers, and not gain any promising new ones

Can we drop Yusaku and have Ai become the MC?

female mc are almost Always shit and only pedo lolicons like it

And my questio is. If you are gonna make duelist that are gonna job, and make pointless duel, would it be better to not make those duelist at all, instead of getting rid of them later?

Stick to wixoss.

That much isn't really that surprising. Freelancers notwithstanding, it makes sense that Gallop isn't able to replace its in-house talent. You'd be hard pressed nowadays to find many good animators willing to be stuck on production for a long-running weekly airing series for three years at a time, let alone multiple series.

VRAINS is probably as close to Seinen Yu-Gi-Oh! will get outside of the original manga.

Wixoss went full ARC-V.

I barely remember anything from wixoss besides the incest and tulpa ghosts ending but it was ok I guess? Actually it was probably kinda bad, but eh

I sure as hell hope they won't just brush aside the fact that the guy just killed one of the Ignis last season.

I don't know when or why Yoshida became such a meme. I suspect it has something to do with Yuzu and Masumi. But I'd like it if people could realize that female Duelists have never had particularly exceptional win rates. This has been a fact since Mai Kujaku, whose only victory against a named character was Ryuzaki/Rex Raptor, discounting that guy created for the anime who wanted to marry her.

What a substantial victory that was.

Among females, Asuka actually has one of the better Win/Loss records. She won 7 duels against named characters, including a flashback with one of them, so we can shorten that to 6.

She won two additional duels against four named characters with Judai's help.

Aki Izayoi won 6 duels against named characters, including a flashback against one of them so we can shorten that to 5. Her victory against Sherry Lablanc involved Crow Hogan, so we can shorten that to 4.

Even though there are probably plenty of reasons to dislike VRAINS, I feel as though the Arc-V vs VRAINS conflict is somewhat inauthentic. To an extent it is understandable, as Arc-V is the series' direct predecessor, the fifth Yu-Gi-Oh! story, and VRAINS is the sixth.

It's not unreasonable to compare them. But most of the issue stems from the fact that Arc-V fell into such a devastating downward spiral and ended in such a disastrous way. The hardcore fans probably wanted VRAINS to be similar, so they could write Arc-V's failure off as an issue with the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise as a whole.

But it wasn't, it was just Arc-V.

That post was more about Queen than Roboppy, I just responded to some Roboppy posts because they were the most recent mentions of Yoshida.

>The hardcore fans probably wanted VRAINS to be similar, so they could write Arc-V's failure off as an issue with the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise as a whole.
Nice projection. VRAINS as a whole is a failure too. Arc-V did promised a lot and failed, VRAINS promised to be just an ok series and ended being one of the most boring seasons. Both of them are bad and nothing else matter. Is another thing if you like any of this season

Why is its neck so long?

Keep screaming retard.

People wanted VRAINS to be fun, but for the most part it's been an absolute bore. From today's episode, it looks like things are picking up. Nobody's denying that Arc-V shat the bed in the second half.

I don't think you can argue that Arc-V is a terrible mess of a show. I mean, one of its main supporters in this thread, esl retard that he was, has openly acknowledged that he prefers messy excitement to structured story telling.

More power to him and anyone else with similar tastes. Arc-V began as something of a mystery story; it's not unreasonable to assume it was designed to draw in viewers on a week to basis and keep them excited.

The problem is in the execution. The idea behind its mystery was only bold on the surface. It had no follow through. It was all flare and fizzled out appropriately.

The idea of a card game war between two worlds was actually something that was already done in ZEXAL II. I'm almost sure the reason why no one mentioned it back then is the same reason why everyone was so receptive to Arc-V after ZEXAL in the first place.

It's an issue of character.

ZEXAL's designs were drastic and dynamic, and Arc-V was down to earth in comparison. Also, it returned to what was ostensibly a more contemporary setting, so you resonated more with the world. Character is a big part of a story.

Of the four traits that define a story; Character, Theme, Setting, and Plot, Character is supreme. It's so important that if you have strong characters the other three tenets almost don't matter.

ZEXAL's core cast (I'm talking Yuma and his friends, not Dextra, Nistro, Shark, Kaito, or the Arclight's) isn't very pleasing to look at, and most of them are annoying to even hear speak. Some of them aren't even used properly, e.g, Kazuki Takahashi, who designed ZEXAL's characters, was surprised Bronk was a good guy. On top of being meandering and pointless, they're ugly, so it's no wonder why people are turned off by ZEXAL.

But the general consensus is that it picks up once it begins to focus on Shark, Kaito, the Arclights, and so on. Not only are they more substantial people, but their designs are pleasant.

Arc-V by and large has its design work down pat.

> Arc-V by and large has its design work down pat.
The series aesthetic charm is prevalent from the get go. The only really ugly person is Gogenzaka. Aesthetically, he's a drag on the entire cast and I'm not sure why he even exists.

With that being said, even though Arc-V's character designs are superior to ZEXAL's own, this is only in service to the aforementioned aesthetics.

Just like with the plot, there's no follow through. The show's only really strong characters are Yuya, Yuzu, Shun, and Reiji, and not a single one of them is strong enough to carry the narrative on their own.

So in the absence of good characters, the absence of a strong plot, and the absence of any kind of overarching (ba dum tsh) theme, it has nothing but a modestly well written setting. A setting that ultimately became a double-edged sword, as the highly unnecessary Action Duels wore away at the patience of the animators and editors.

I am oddly aroused by that thing.

>I'm not sure why he even exists
He earned his place in the duel against Yaiba, though I do feel he overstayed his welcome.

> It's a card game shonen. There is no high art.

But there is a standard of quality that Arc-V has failed to reach that VRAINS does not.

I love how he just decides to end it with some stock cool-sounding bullshit.

They need the tough love. Without people making them understand them passing barely ever happens they'll keep cutting their dicks off and then join the 40% when they don't look even closely to what they want to be.

>Arc-V failed to reach
Arc-V excelled, it just crashed and burned. That's the whole reason the reaction to the final third was so negative; people had come to enjoy it, and it spat in their face.

>anti arc v squad
Yawn. Anything else?

No. It doesn't matter how many flips you do in the air if you don't stick the landing.

>Just like with the plot, there's no follow through. The show's only really strong characters are Yuya, Yuzu, Shun, and Reiji, and not a single one of them is strong enough to carry the narrative on their own.

This is an argument made after the fact. Yuya, Yuzu, Shun, and Reiji are a wonderful cast but all their ambitions and strength is thrown out the window. Yuya becomes a pastiche of a generic YGO protagonist, Yuzu stops trying to become stronger despite that being both a compelling story arc and central to her character, Shun actually manages to stay compelling for longer than most but his screentime is taken by the legacies, and Reiji literally spends most of his time off-screen looking for a boat.

The characters are fine, the problem is that they're gutted after Standard. Standard Yuya, Yuzu, Shun, and Reiji are fucking awesome

Appearances in Vrains are implied to be unrecognizable to the characters in-universe, however similar they look to the IRL characters. The similarities are only for the viewers' sakes so we don't have to look at retarded avatars for literally every character.

Yeah yeah, I get it you hate Arc-V or left you traumatize and instead of talking about VRAINS biggest flaws you rather talk about how much scapegoat Arc-V. Sorry is not working.

>list of arc v flaws
Sasuga vrainlet

So we've got Vrains, which is boring but safe, and Arc-V, which had great potential but fucked up.

Structure vs Boldness, and with Vrains and Arc-V we see they're both kinda at polar extremes.

People enjoyed it, they got hyped in a way VRAINS hasn't been able to reach yet.

It feels like they really didn't want to bother animating Queen in action

Oh, yeah.

That's related to another problem I had with Arc-V, and something else that VRAINS really excels at.

It all comes back to character.

Arc-V has a bad practice of introducing loads and loads of new characters to serve various functions. They're never really fleshed out, and those that are have confusing motivations and are generally just bad. Here's looking at you, Shinji.

VRAINS has a compact cast of characters that it makes the most of in every way.

Yes, they did not.

robots don't have genders user

Essentially.

And then they were disappointed, so, there you go.

> VRAINS hasn't been able to reach yet.

Maybe for you.

I actually really enjoy VRAINS. It gets me hype. I think get off to how efficient it is.

>unironically believing this

How can you make the most of the characters in a small cast by making them job all the time?

Drinking in the catharsis of a good Yu-Gi-Oh! anime after that trainwreck leaves people in a state of euphoria. These list of flaws are just a long sigh of relief.

"Look at how good our new show is."

Also I am still happy that I watched Arc-V and I glady take that for another year rather than enduring another year of VRAINS:

For most people. Few people cared about Bohman or Hanoi outside of Mirror Force. If this season can keep up the quality it's shown in this episode and land a solid finale, great.

I loved Arc-V, too, but there's no denying people were disappointed.

All of them are gathered by Akira to protect him, and he seems to trust Go.

Should I continue? Because as far as I know, hiding the flaws of something while trying to say that the flaws of others are worse is a very low move to defend a show, something expected from a faggot like you.

soulburner is gay because he is flaming
yuusaku is asexual because he finds no interest in sex but can be considered demisexual when he finds the right person. how come you NOT realize this?

Most of what you listed are problems with the Yugioh series in general and not unique to VRAINS.

> Yusaku being one of the least entertaining and likeable MC.

I think Yusaku is extremely entertaining. He is good at what he does. He is aware of this and not afraid to show it. He's a flex lord. And it doesn't get in the way of his essential humanity. It's genuinely heartwarming watching a young boy work to move past his trauma and protect the people he cares about.

I don't know how you could not like Yusaku when he so openly and brazenly says things like, "My dueling is invincible," and "I can't let Kusanagi become more sad."

> Aoi, being a literal jobber with a forced relevancy.

See > Go, a literal who that can be scrapped
Yeah, I dislike Go because he's ugly, and started off as extremely generic. I'm extremely happy he's turned into a bedraggled jobber. That was the best possible fate for his tired as fuck character type. Go is the ugliest character in the cast, and they get him the fuck out of here in the best way. It is cathartic.

> The duels, not hype at all, a lot of jobbing, and also filler.

This point, full of strawmen and a lot of buzzwords.

> animation budget is crap.
Doesn't bother me. When it looks good it looks good. I love how they do Overlay Units.

> A lot of build up just to kill somebody in the most anticlimatic way possible.
Be more specific. I liked the Ignis deaths and Bohman's too.

> The setting in general
Explain what is wrong with the setting.

> The outcomes of duels are too fucking obvious.
Could you expound on this point?

> all this "cast" are reduced to Yusaku who is always alone and fighting and winning

Again, I wouldn't expect a power level fag to understand the merits of story telling. The farther down this list I go, the more these complaints become about fighting.

Also: this.

Her monsters too. And this episode was by Yoshida. What a funny pattern.

> an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Maybe it's not bang on the money, but that particular point isn't much of one; essentially, he's full of shit, no matter how you try to slice it.

Can you explain those merits of story telling? I don't see how everything revolving about Yusaku always winning has a merit.
The phrase "A power level faggot wouldn't understand" sounds like you either don't want to explain or can't explain your idea.

Doesn't even get a unique archetype

>Rook,Bishop and King are gonna make people job to them
Will they have LV monsters too?

Where is the picture of my boi Shinji.

Yusaku sure will have a hard time deciding wether to kill off Ai or join him (as I suppose Ai will offer it to him as soon as they meet). I can't wait to watch Roboppy erase GG and BS soon so we can get new characters soon.

So the chess pieces are the board of investors and they assigned one among themselves (Queen) to be the one in charge of SOL technologies.

Modern day Yugioh is a travesty and misses all of the highlights that make it enjoyable. VRAINS is by far the worst offender. The moment they dropped supernatural undertones and the occult for legal reasons was when the franchise was doomed. Yugioh was one of the rarer shonens that had entertaining bullshit, grotesque weird shit, adventure, and top tier waifus, meaning you could have your cake AND you could eat it. Tell me a story about teenagers saving the world from ancient demons by using cardboard and a construed view of friendship isn't worth watching. Variety is the spice of life and Yugioh does it better than the rest when it comes to providing new settings for the core cast to argue with other people over waving around holographic cardboard:
>DM: Duelist Kingdom, a fucking city, a blimp, stranded island, motherfucking Egypt
>GX: island filled with ruins and shit, the fucking Duel Academy
>5Ds: street-rat infested ghetto, a fucking city v2, South America, interdimensional fucking upside-down street-rat infested ghetto
>Zexal: Disney-land ass city, inside of a necklace, the moon, outerfucking space
And where does VRAINS fit all of this? Run-of-the-mill virtual generated cityscapes and random floating rocks in the sky that are indistinguishable from any other episode. Hell, they just scrapped the entire VR platform, introduced androids, potentially setting up irl duels as a mainstay for the last season, only to divulge into fucking consciousness-hacking VR duels again for no good reason. Talk about a waste.

> Thinking of different anime.

So according to the Wiki's effects of Allure Dance and Allure Palace, her move was something like
>activate Palace
>summon LV3, SS another LV3 to Ai's field
>use LV3 to equip her own LV3, level up to LV5, SS LV5 to Ai's field with Palace
>equip LV5 to her LV5, level up to LV7, SS another LV7 to Ai's field
>equip to her LV7, activate Allure Dance, send the equipped LV7 to her GY to SS LV3, LV5, LV7
>duel proceeds as shown in the episode
Is there a good reason why this wasn't shown on-screen? Other than being boring? I wouldn't put it against Yoshida to just have the duel set up as it was and left it to the animators to figure out how the hell Queen got four Allure Queens out on the first turn of the game.

One of the issues I had with Arc-V is the lack of a strong supernatural foundation, but I think VRAINS does good work using technology as its answer to magic, but the rest of your post, while extreme, isn't exactly off base.

I won't say that all of his points are on the mark, but the duels of VRAINS have seriously lacked hype. Like, compare Shooting Star Dragon to Firewall Dragon.
>Shooting Star is created right as it's summoned as Clear Mind plays for the first time, vs Firewall being obtained, then the duel is canceled, then a new duel starts
>Shooting Star tears through a tornado and blows away a damn storm so it can shine over the whole city vs Firewall slowly farting around the stage
>Shooting Star shows off two of its abilities and wins by them vs Firewall trying to use one, it fails, and is just used a beatstick

Comparing Shooting Star Dragon to Firewall Dragon is unfair though.

Shooting Star to eXceed or Darkfluid is more accurate.

> Compares the evolution of the Protagonist's precious ace monster to the obtainment of a Protagonist's 2500/2000 ace.
> The evolution Yusei was specifically working toward obtaining for several episodes.
> The evolution that Yusei outright failed to summon once.

No shit Shooting Star Dragon was more hype than Firewall Dragon. What the fuck are you even saying? Not to mention, Firewall Dragon is a direct counterpoint to esltard's argument that the duels are too predictable. There's always some creative shit going on with Firewall.

Man, it's fucking Yoshida. If it was something else they would have show us all the duel and setting, let us hear the attack name of Allure Queen and even a summon chant. But since Yoshida is the one in charge he made sure to skip that, even more, knowing that there are fans of Allure Queen. And her defeat was also humilliating. Why this surprise you?

Shooting Star is kind of an unfair comparison considering it so massively overshadows every other boss monster debut in the entire franchise.
>built up for like an entire season of Yusei trying to figure out how to counter Meklords and fiddling with different ideas until Antinomy shows him Accel Synchro
>also the duel between him and Placido was fairly well built up because Placido had a bone to pick with him
>gets its own awesome theme music directly synched with the cinematography of its entrance
Shooting Star almost spoiled boss monster debuts by being so perfect. No matter what you think about S2.

Honestly, VRAINS feels like the most consistent effort since the original story. It's the only one in recent memory that really digs into the longstanding consequences of one's actions and the psychological, mental, and emotional state of its characters. What 5D's did with Aki is similar.

They wanted to end this Duel as quickly as possible

Okay, then, compare it to O MY SECOND ACTIVATION or "I could have used the base version but it's banned so here's an episode of summon masturbation".

>Actually spelling that

I don't really care that much about the argument of the aesthetics between supernatural stuff and 'generic near-modern city' since the overall art direction has been downwards sliding anyway, but it still kind of bothers me that there's also no supernatural anchor anymore (ever since arc-v) that makes it clear why card game duels are the chosen medium for mediating all the conflicts. where all the characters are compelled to carry them out almost ritualistically and abide by the consequences of winning or losing because of an underlying force that binds them

It's just supposed to be taken completely for granted now "because it's Yugioh"
