Do you have any particular hopes or wishes for the future of this franchise?
>>282481962I just wish people in real life were this serious about games
>>282481962It would be nice if they made a new anime that matched the Duel Monsters manga 1 to 1. I think that'd be cool to see. Otherwise, sadly not really. I don't think Konami even knows what to do with it even though its their golden goose. If I was Konami, I would be working 24/7 to make a working VR game for it.
>>282481962Simply that they keep making anime and also go back to producing PvE console games that relate to the anime, while not cutting 80% of the content for international release, like they have done in the past.
>>282481993Arguably people in real life are much more serious about games, which is why you see metas built around card advantage while in the cartoon characters freak out when they see a monster with 3200 ATK.
No. I don't watch childrens shows.
>>282482373That's one thing, this is another It's written like that so the audience can get it without having to know the game as well as the characters are supposed to IRL there's no billionaires building arenas for their grudge matches with random kids they lost to
>>282482421I guess that would be better than abusing the legal system to punish people who can't afford an army of lawyers.
>>282481993Sports exist
>>282481962I don’t know the game sucks and I lost interest when they introduced the links thing. As for the anime I didn’t watch anything beyond arc-v
>>282482679Those guys aren't gamers, they're athletes
>>282482685But link was the best system they added?
>>282482852I couldn’t be bothered to relearn the game to be honest
>>282481962I rewatched a bunch of 5D's here recently and I've been dying to ask, did the clown fuck his sister? I'm dead serious here. Because either the clown fucked his sister or the clown found the only other character in the world with that hair color and made her put on makeup to look like his sister. Look at that child on the tiger. See that color? Get a good look.
Kaz is deadSo are my hopes.
>>282483316>>282483316Now look at his wife. His wife who looks exactly like him, and has the same hair color as his sister. His sister is never mentioned past that flashback, in fact none of his family seems to want anything to do with him despite being a pretty damn influential character in the first season. And he's constantly hiding his family.I know I'm crazy but I saw it and I can't get over the fact he clearly either fucked his sister or made his wife look like his sister and I don't know which is worse.
>>282481962Not really. Shueisha and TV Tokyo are gonna do whatever the hell they want. probably more Rush anime. A more solid conclusion to vrains would be cool, but that seems like a pipe dream. Don't know why anyone would treat this anime as anything other than a wacky toy commercial
>>282482293that's not where the profit is.
The game is in the worst state it's ever been Duel links is legacy at this point Every other card game mogs yugioh to shitKonami should just sunset it They clearly don't know what to do with any property anymore
Bring her back, remove synchros, remove power creep, destroy any monster with an attack above 3000, bring HER BACK.
>>282481962This franchise is nothing without yugi/kaiba, it's time for them to get it
maybe try making another anime that isnt dogshit
>>282481962i wish they were able to stretch their legs like the did for waking the dragonsive only watched duel monsters and 5ds and thought the spoopy stuff of 5ds hit the right balance for spooky and mystery
I want Konami to release an all holographic deck of Yugi, Kaiba, Joey and Marik, Pegasus, Zigfried etc I don’t care what they would charge, I would buy it. I only care collect for nostalgia from OG and GX era and they never drop any good products, the last decent one was the Kaiba 25th Deck and Briefcase.
a vr game
>>282481962Anime remake, more faithfull to manga.Just too bad that Kazuki is not with us anymore. He could add cut manga storylines, if he was alive.
>>282482256Konami's golden goose is their huge pachinko racket in Japan and sport sims that sell a staggering amount (last I checked). Yugioh might as well be the fun little hobby they play manager with because they feel like it, their wealth from other things is part of why they behave like they do
>>282483353Maybe they're only cousins to make it less incest, but she intentionally does makeup to look more like him...
>>282484938Kaiba's movie didn't even make back its production costs, although it was pretty entertaining. Yugioh anime would most at home continuing as a niche tv anime like Vanguard, except with more effort in attempting bigger plot hooks like Arc-V did once upon a time. Remake and nostalgia farming fatigue is hitting even normies now
>>282484679BMG deck is literally the best shit right now though? the new supports are insane
Those who are completely ignorant or were angered by how Arc-V turned into a chaotic trashfire forget how it was actually one of the few toy shounen during its airing that started to branch out from its initial viewers and get known through almost purely word-of-mouth. Jap viewers simply enjoyed watching the characters, presentation, and set up that much to talk a lot about it. If they didn't, they wouldn't have piled on so much anger later on. That type of interest where viewers are actually wanting to talk about it and/or draw a ton of varied fanart (and not just waifuspam or make a few dumb edits) feels rarer and rarer these days, even for the more widely known titles or 'prestigious' studios
>>282481962>dm, gx, 5d's are treated as deeply serious and/or epic shows by diehard fans>watch a few episodes of the three eyed one by Tezuka>realize those fans are completely insane

>>282486574>"I hate extra links" threadHow often does that ever happen though? Extra link is a pipe dream.
>>282484352I hear the game is pretty fun again from the new packs but haven't tried it yet.>no more one player makes big negate board and the other has handtraps if lucky (crystron, maliss, etc)>both decks are now entirely handtraps, the handtraps fuse/xyz/etc with eachother on either player's turn (New VS, Killer Tune, K9) , big synchro negate player unable to set up against that
>>282484352>Duel links is legacy at this pointWhat do you mean?
>>282481962I have a pipe dream of 2 simultaneously running anime called 'Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG' and 'Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG' that eventually combine into a tournament arc called 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel' that ends with a movie where the 2 protagonists face each other.
>>282486269Are you talking about the 1990 anime? I only know the Sharaku from the Astroboy: The Omega Factor GBA game, which I loved as a kid and he was a great villain in it, but have never heard anyone bring the guy or his series up until probably this post. I'll give it a go if you're reccomed it. You make it sound pretty intense. I was always worried these old Astroboy adjacent Tezuka series were too slow in a Micky Mouse sense to get into, and never knew which ones brought out that sort of emotion/hype.
I thought the plan was to make a longer fantasy series based on the Ecclesia/Branded storyline or Gusto/Nekroz/etc, if the new Mushuko Tensei was technically Yugioh it would surely get players in, but they're blowing that the largest storyline on 5 minute shorts instead? I don't get what the plan is from here if they want an anime. Yugioh Super?
>>282487301Konami is making decisions with the lore anime shorts as their own project for their presumably small studio. Execs at Shueisha and TV Tokyo separately decide if they want a new full tv anime at all or not, and if they ever make a new one it'd be a standard 22 minute thing airing on TV Tokyo. The staff would be completely separate and different people from whatever Konami wants to do with animation in their studio
>>282486637I remember seeing it happen occasionally during the MR4 years (worst period of the TCG), but I've not seen anyone pull it off after Konami banned many of the spammy Link monsters (Halq, Knightmares, Auroradon, etc). But I haven't paid attention to the meta since 2016, so maybe the top decks are still extra-linking and I just have no clue what I'm talking about.
>>282487223No, I meant in the opposite way. It's over the top and comical but it's clearly where kaz got a lot of ideas for yugioh from. It's on the same level of seriousness as regular astro boy honestly. And the English subs for this one look like they were machine translated by foreigners. The manga has no translation at all either but has way more fanservice and mild violence.
>>282487373If it's banned in both TCG and OCG how come the Dragoon enabler is still legal in master duel?
>>282487452Power creep is a bitch and Dragoon requires at least one useless card in your deck. You're better playing the most recent meta archetypes with less demanding generic boss monsters though it's certainly not bad. Also he looks cool as fuck so there's that.>>282487373In Master Duel at least, link monsters nowadays tend to be combo pieces and the real threat is the synchro and fusion monsters. Even with all the knightmares legal. Apollousa is still diabolical though.
>>282487452MD has its own banlist, and there are loads of cards in the TCG/OCG which haven't been added to MD yet. I don't know the details, because I don't play MD (Duelingbook and YGOpro are all I ever need), so listen to whatever this anon>>282487591 is saying instead.
>>282481962No
