Zexal had death as well, and also the only series aside from DM and 5D's to have blood/gore, which ARC-V lacked. In addition, Zexal also had the most fanservice out of all of them.
ARC-V's first half was enjoyable, though I felt the second half went downhill a bit and fe!t rushed in some areas. I suppose Synchro getting so much focus compared to XYZ and Fusiin is due to the director. Personally, I rank it below GX and Zexal as far as spin-offs go, but it is still enjoyable. This new one reminds me of Vanguard in a way.

I imagine that's just as likely as a male protagonist Precure series. I'm reminded of this really awful The Mary Sue article on why YGO needs strong female heroes to attract more female viewers. I can only assume the writer had no idea what they were talking about considering the huge fujoshi audience Yu-Gi-Oh draws thanks to the male characters.

The Mary Sue is a terrible website, just a hivemind of Shonen Jump Weekly on the same level as Tumblr. I wouldn't take their opinion on anything seriously if I were you, especially since their really uneducated.

Ugh. Don't remind me. I am sick of SJ wasting a slot in the magazine on fricking yugioh. I got so hyped when the previous yugioh manga ended. Thought we were getting something new but WHAM just another shitty yugioh spinoff.

It's hard trying to blend in with the crowd if you're sporting a loud hairstyle. Perhaps if Yūsaku dyed his hair to a more run-of-the-mill color...

It's ironic complain about them wasting time on another Yu-Gi-Oh spinoff instead of something new, then when they do make something new and run it in the magazine piss all over it for being unoriginal or cliche.

Don't the mangas make it in the top seller lists in the NY Times though? That sounds like people still love it to me. |
true enough and its main cash cow the TCG themselves are still the king of trading card games and it along as that remains, their is gonna be new "anime series" like this. unfortunately its gonna be massively edited and americanized to the eleventh power once it comes to US shores. which is why i recommend watching the WIXOSS series if you want an anime based TCG series that doesnt suck at all.
its pretty much under the pokemon syndrome where "it must remain kid friendly at all costs." and having another male character as the main which doesnt help. they should have made the main a girl which would have given some curiosity and interest to the new series. but alas. its another auto avoid at all cost scenario for the otaku community since its pretty much become the butt joke of the western industry no thanks to 4k media (which once upon a time was infamously known as 4kids) and konami who have a monopoly on its TCG counterpart.

....CrunchyRoll is a thing you know if you want to watch Yu-Gi-Oh unedited.

The thing is though Yu-Gi-Oh much like Pokemon was designed with kids in mind. So it being "kid friendly" is kind of you know the point.

Yeah no one generally watches anime because of the gender of the characters it's how the characters are written that matters to most people.

Why are you judging the franchise based on a dub? Just watch the fansub and ignore the awful American version. Or watch the dub if you want to see a comedy and laugh at all the bad censoring. Either way, judge it on the original.
