It should have ended after 5Ds, then it would be fondly remembered as a really cool and bizarre series.Instead it got milked for 15 more years, it became a laughing stock, and faded into obscurity.
many such cases
>>281910251Wrong and boring ass opinion. Just stop watching then? Holy shit, nobody is forcing you to.Zexal >>>>>> 5Ds btw
>>281910251This but Arc-V
>>281910560I can't stop
>>281910573Based, literally better than 4/5 Dark Signers and that is 5Ds's main arc.
>>281910251>yugioh anime during 5d'swacky toy commercial>yugioh anime nowwacky toy commercialis there a really a difference? we all know no one actually cares about messages or magic or whatever in these shows.
>>281910251>Instead it got milked for 15 more years, it became a laughing stock, and faded into obscuritythings that never happenedGX was the laughing stock and it almost killed the game with its awful sets. this is a historical fact.>then it would be fondly rememberedthe anime are being rerun in batches right now for a limited time period and they are doing greatstop being a schizo
>>281910806>GX was the laughing stock and it almost killed the game never happened
>>281910251Fore me GX s3, 5Ds, and Zexal was the peak of the franchise.
>>281910251faded into obscurity is an overstatement. yugioh is like the 50th most profitable media franchise of all time and makes hundreds of millions yearly to this day.
>>281911444bc of the TCGnone of the spin-off anime ever became as big as the original
>>281911054I love motorcycle Kallen.
>>281911569actually it's mostly because of anime merch
>>281910251Zexal 2 and ArcV are better then GX.
>>281911569The anime spinoffs literally just exists to shill the tcg, anon.
>>281912183All of Gundam exists to shill gunpla, doesn't stop them from making cool stories with them, Japan has a different approach to these sort of shows, as long as they promote the products the writers are free to do whatever they like
>>281912183The original did as well, the plan was to make an anime to promote a big TCG.
The shows became better as they went on.
>>281912279The Yugioh manga had been running for like two years by the time the tcg was created you retard.
>>281912483Both the Toei anime and the Duel Monsters anime also had the purpose of promoting the card games. First Toei for the Bandai card game and then later Duel Monsters with the Konami cards. It is most noticable in the filler arcs that promoted cards from Konami booster packs.
>>281912483The manga was over after the first 7 volumes, Kaz returned to it with the idea of rebranding the story to implement a TCG which he had signed a deal prior to promote a multimedia franchise consisting of anime , manga, toys, cards etc
>>281912483I know but the manga is the manga and the anime was never meant to be a faithful adaptation but to promote cards, they altered arcs to make them all about the card game or remove arcs that do not feature the card game
>>281912623>>281912864"The original" is the manga.>>281912792Where the hell did you pick up this schizoshit from?
>>281912920yugioh was always planned to be a toy and video game franchise more than a manga
>>281912792>>281912977I don't know if this is necessarily the right way of describing it. But, yes, Shueisha was definitely moving in the direction of multimedia and toy franchises under the direction of editors like torishima and different executives. That's just where the long term money ended up being, not pure manga sales.
