Special MV https://youtu.be/g6Zj_mu_QZ8?si=qMRMrb4mC-nocrg9
Cool. Nice that they stuck to the original series instead of shoehorning in the later, wackier instalments.
>>288248587...ok
Love those anniversary MMVs they seem to be doing lately for different series.>DMG for YugiShould have been Silent Magician.
I thought rush duel killed the anime?
>>288250699Not known. There was a Yugituber who had an anonymous source who said that they stopped making anime since higher-ups didn't know what to do with it especially since the anime has had Takahashi in important consulting roles all the way through Go Rush.Rush Duel succeeded as well as it could reasonably have expected to given it made the OCG sales and according to their sources Go Rush did well enough to get an extension, it was originally only planned up to Kuaidul.
>>288248587hopefully we get a new anime
I heard harpies can make boys cum handsfree just by staring at their eyes. Scary.
>>288253135
>>288250699>>288251221Why did they make the series look like a basic bitch kodomo anime after Vrains? I know Yugioh is for kids, but the distinct thing about it is it was meant to be "cool." The monsters. The art style. Whole thing was meant to make a seven year old go, "holy shit, this is badass."
>>288253230sevens is fun to watch and sex with romin
>>288253253I'm not even saying it's bad, but there's an element that made Yugioh different from other kodomo shows.
>>288253253Raping Romin
>>288248587Overlap is still an unmatched OP song even after all these years.
Rush and Go Rush weren't bad they just weren't Yu-gi-oh, when people think Yugioh, they think protagonist with crazy hair, wild hand movements, the chins, dragons fucking up shit, big tiddy monsters, heroines and maybe even loli bait heroines starting with Zexal, Kotori and Yuzu were JK bait while Aoi was playing both sides at first, the big tiddy haughty blue angel and the JK petite Aoi, then they ruined her by making her other gimmicks, blue girl and the last one flat chested and uggothat and the game itself is complicated as shit now, synchros started, pendulums were the breaking point and links were the "fuck this shit i quit" point.
>>288253623Do kids actually play Yugioh now? Like, if you go to a tournament, is everyone just 25+?
>>288253668kids haven't played Yugioh since the 5D's era, since the Zexal era it's been 30 year old man children with personality disorders it's such a nothing fanbase now it's not even worth having grifters in it just cheaters, not even scalpers, the e-celebs tried pumping it before quickly dropping it in favor of Pokemon TCG instead where the money is
>>288253750But Konami USA still censors cards, kek.
>>288253775that's because konami of america gets money for "censoring" the art even through there's no more reason to it's a grift like everything out there to make money, there are no morals in entertainment just get money anyway you can no matter how ridiculous
>>288253750Slight blog but I see there's a yugioh club at the high school I work at. I personally hate it and wish the students would engage in tabletop culture in general instead of a single card game. Maybe they do cause i dont stop by. But I look at Yu Gi Oh and get mad that people miss the strong love Kazuki Takahashi had that he'd even make up his own games (with obvious inspiration of course)
>>288253623Yugioh wasn't good until Synchros
>>288253623fusion is mehsynchro is okayxyz is greatpendulum is shitlink is good
>>288248587>Animated manga panelsYep they don't give a shit.>>288253230>>288253623It's a toy commercial, it was a toy commercial in the 90s under bandai and toei.
>>288254185God you are such a fag. You didn't even read my post, did you. "It's a toy commercial." Yeah, I said it's for seven year olds. But the new art style looks lame as SHIT. It turned into generic kodomo slop. Indistinguishable from every other toy commercial anime.
>>288254240I don't know why you insist on pretending the original yugioh was considered super cool And half the shit the second post said is still visible throughout the rush anime. It just updated with the times.
>>288253135>>288253143She looks like Alexis the way her hair is drawn here.
>>288254286Visually, yeah, it's super fucking sick looking. Look at Kaz's art in the OP MV. Does this look like Beyblade to you? I am increasingly tired of dealing with people who obviously know what the conversation is about, but are purposefully being ignorant.
>>288254286>I don't know why you insist on pretending the original yugioh was considered super coolLiterally its entire niche was being originally aimed at teens but getting reworked into a card game for 8 year olds which made it significantly more mature looking than everything else aimed at 8 year olds at the time
>>288254330If the art carried yugioh it wouldn't have been low ranking throughout the early run where kaz's art shined the most. And you know damn well it's not ignorant to say so. We all know the reason yugioh's artstyle is gone. The shift to digital and retirement of tons of animators made sure the 90s action styles fade mostly into obscurity. Now there's some heavy action shows that have elements of 90s stuff but most of them significantly diverge.
>>288253230Kazuki Takahashi didn't like how complicated the game was and wanted something more accessible for kids, iirc. Probably didn't help that vrains was so miserable
>>288254302i want to sniff alexis' armpits
>>288254378>>288254389Yugioh original art isn't some distinctly "90s" style. It even kept semi-consistent throughout future iterations, like with GX, and 5Ds. That's not to say it was perfect, but the distinct kodomo-ification of Yugioh frankly was its death knell. Kids don't want to be talked down to. Sevens and beyond is practically indistinguishable from every other Pokemon toy commercial ripoff out there.
>>288254429SAMESHIT
>>288254429It was though. the reason it lasted was because gallop maintained a lot of its old animators until the 2010s.
>>288254471You are purposefully being obtuse and retarded. Why? Why are you doing that? Why are you purposefully being ignorant? What is your agenda? Kaz's art style can "evolved," and in fact, did evolve, as it was relatively maintained into the fucking 2010s. Sevens and beyond turned it into soft toy commercial slop. The type of shit other properties have made jokes about.
>>288254471But eventually new character designers who weren't attached to Kaz and the early productions decided to progress yugioh designs.
>>288254516Okay. So your agenda is you like the art style change because you enjoy loli. Just say it dude. Just say it. I'm not shaming you for it. But that's why you're defending it. If this is >>288254185, you just wasted half an hour of our time when you could have just said you like it cause you like loli.
>>288253623otes vs yuga goha and luke vs yuga goha were pretty goodin go rush also yudias + luna vs lugh yudias/yuhi vs yuga/yuamu and anything involving ritual summoning
>>288254514And a parody of commercial animation is supposed to negate the reality of why kaz's style was significantly modified by newer animation productions? That's just dumb. Time came for the 90s styles just like it came for the 70s-80s styles. It just happens.
>>288254577...It's not a "90s style." Vrains came out in 2017. It does not look like a "90s" anime. What Sevens looks like, is a bog standard toy commercial anime. I don't think Vrains looks amazing, but it's clearly a general iteration of Kaz's look.
>>288248587Lmao Konami really doesn't give two shits about anything Yugioh related anymore except churning out youtube shorts
>>288254618That really doesn't refute what I'm saying. By time of vrains yugioh's artstyle was already stretched to it's limits with how much digital it became and with how many old animators had already left.
>>2882546441. Why couldn't new animators learn, and evolve the style in a faithful way that kept Kaz's darker, "edgier" (Fuck off if you don't think part of the appeal of Yugioh was that it was a cool "edgy" kids show) visuals? Why did it default to generic kodomo slop? The answer is Konami was desperate for new kids to play the game, and rather than look to what made the franchise popular, it defaulted to general trends. Corporate hackery that has done nothing to rejuvenate the franchise.
>>288254671New animators adapt their style to production requirements, they have other projects to consider and didn't learn from the same places as the past generation did. And the other thing is that Shueisha and TV Tokyo were cheap and pushing out yugioh year round. If the average production is cutting corners and hiring 2nd rate studios, then yugioh is doubly so.
>>288254737Right, so it's uninspired, produced cheaper, and mimicking other similar children's shows. And Konami wonders why the popularity is faltering?
>>288254760Old yugioh trend chased and copied just as hard as new yugioh. 5D's might as well have been TV Tokyo's attempt to slap F-zero CGI onto yugioh.
>>288254185>Yep they don't give a shit.Are you retarded? It's a hommage TO THE MANGA by Takashi. And a good one too
>>288255261Yeah actually confirmed to be a retarded animeonly by the rest of his post>muh card games!!
>>288254378>the early run where kaz's art shined the mostLol. Lmao. It mostly just gets better and peaks around Battle City. Yugioh has also great writing but the art is a huge reason why it's so good.
Why was Vrains bad anyways?
>>288255261>>288255270No you idiots, I saw the same shit with dragon ball and wasn't impressed then either. This is the cheapest shit they can do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSPa8C2WYTw
>>288255309No, the art early on is when it was still trying to ellicit some kind of feeling of horror. Later on the cleaning up mostly removed that.
>>288248587>Kaz dies>actual retrains of DM monsters like Dark Magician, Blue Eyes and Red-Eyes get released back to back>Jinzo and Summoned Skull as well>1/100 rarities>full on DM panderingI wonder how much pull he had.
>>288255470I've seen that too and it's completely irrelevant. The anime is irrelevant too. This is for the manga, which strongly sets itself apart from the weak adaptation it received. Just like DSOD was a manga sequel specifically.
>>288255510>it had slightly more horror monster designs than after which means it was betterThe manga art gets a lot more consistent and has the greatest spreads later. Although there is an argument to be made the earlier art has the advantage of being quite clean, it's also more simple in a lot of ways. Some of Takahashi's greatest paneling work comes from later. No matter how you put it though, a lot of what make Yugioh great is beautiful art from a talented mangaka
>>288255515>canon discussioni wasn't talking about canon. I was talking about the really cheap digital manipulations of manga art assets in the music video. the dragon ball anniversary comparatively has some animation honestly and that was cheap too.
>>288255698It's not about canon it's about which version is artistically interesting and which one you want to honor. The Japanese didn't go "this didn't cost them too much", they went "fuck yeah Takahashi art is on another level"
>>288255771It's literally the live2d stuff they use to animate gacha cutscenes so they don't have to pay people to draw shit. It's basically flash animation tweening but with more competent tools. Can't get much lower effort than this.
>>288248587such a good op
>>288254429Firstly, what the fuck does that have to do with my post.Secondly, that's bullshit. Rush duels are going well in Japan, they're just too retarded to bring it to the west. The anime was well received and got a sequel, and the writing was unironically better than a lot of the gallop stuff. There was no 'talking down'
>>288255919I'm not saying it cost money I'm saying it's an appropriate and passionate tribute to the stuff that really matters in the first place
>>288256137Are you the one who said the game was getting too "complicated"? Restructuring things to make it less so sounds like talking down to me. Likewise, the overall art style just degraded the brand into kodomo slop. It's not that the original art was too "90s," they made the distinct type of visual you'd see in a thoughtless anime toy commercial. The type of shit that's so worthless that it's completely obscure, cause it exists to sell a product that won't come to foreign territories.
>>288248587ygo used to be so coolshame the actual card game is in the gutter now with faggot shit like this running around
P-PleaseM-Master Rule animeI even take R finally getting adapted
>>288256282Yugioh has literally always been the gayest thing everIn fact its downfall tracks exactly with the moment it started trying to appeal to straights
>>288256618So 1996?
I want Lilithmon to rape me.
