There you go.
It says it on the first sentence of the article. Blame ANN for not providing a scan (one of the many reasons ANN is not my #1 YGO source. lol). You can just go on twitter and search VRAINS.

April premieres have been the standard for the spin-offs for years now, so I'm shocked the premiere has been moved to May. But specials to build up to the new series does sounds neat.
As for the new characters... Aoi looks unusually plain for Yugioh. but I like her design. Her name suggests she's from a wealthy family. The new guy looks to be this series Gongenzaka, with his name suggesting masculinity and wickedness. (ogres, tombs, that sort of thing) |

Aoi is so disappointing. Such a plain, generic design for the franchise. Worst main girl, unless her VR form is super awesome. Hopefully the side girls look better

Why do you say that? While "Zexal" did have a LA-based dub (when 4kids was being sued over 5.5 years ago), it never really saw the light of day. |

Fans actually hated 5Ds in Japan?! I'm actually stunned as so far that's my favorite season though it did have some issues like the way some of the early arcs were handled with Yusei's personality being altered significantly, everyone getting radically different monster cards halfway through it's run (justified as Konami has to market their shit somehow), and the rather messed up ending with the final battle being Yusei vs. himself (Z-ONE is a future dystopian version of himself). I love it because of the monsters and characters and some of the fanart on my PC is from that season alone. |

Z-ONE isnt future Yusei, altough I like to think that way. He is a engineer who copied his face/body to save the world in the future. I heard that 5ds isnt the way it was supposed to be and got rewrited during the airing. And for Arc-V, I cant stand Yuya, the plot and the characters. Really, Everything brought by arc-v was a mess. The new mechanic is so broken, Yuya is so detestable, always getting depressed and by far the less carismatic protagonist. The whole show was so slow paced that I stopped watching it like 5 times. |

Hate was probably the wrong word. Japanese fans were mildly indifferent to it. The only series hated was ARCV. Still, reruns of GX got better ratings than 5Ds In a character poll last year, the only ARCV character to make it was Shun at #13, which is quite bad.

It's a shame Arc-V has gone the way they did, considering just how strong of a first season it had. Even the most troubled Yugioh productions have managed to put out a solid final season, but Arc-V looks like it'll be the first to fail even doing that.
But in a strange sort of way, this makes me even more excited for VRains. This series has something to prove, so I'm expecting a much stronger (if not a bit "safer") effort this time around. Looking forward to seeing where it goes. |

A little sad about 5D's reaction in Japan. It's far and away my favorite series.
As for ARC-V, it's actually the only series I didn't watch, and I guess my tiny regret for not tuning in every week is slowly dying. Hell, watched every ZEXAL episode except for the last duel, because I think the show got way too dark for its tone, and in the end everyone came back to life anyway.
A lot of the huge changes were done for two reasons; Carly's JPN VA was found to be part of a cult, so anything related to cults were removed or rewritten, and even omitted-- Sayer/Divine would have probably stuck around alongside the Arcadia Movement and there could have been an arc for Aki/Akiza dedicated to taking him down instead of him getting swallowed by the Earthbound Immortal, which would have been nice for her character seeing as how like every Yugioh female protagonist, she gets shafted in later episodes. This could also explain why the show felt aimless in episodes 65-92 between the Dark Signers and WRGP arc, (sans Crash Town) Also, Rua/Leo was the original 5th Signer and Crow was going to be a Dark Signer, but the popularity of Blackwings at the time made it the way it ended up. Lot of the info here were taken from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwmDpYtE0F0 |

Since 4Licensing went bankrupt again, I'm very sure that Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS will be either voiced in Los Angeles or it will be a mix of Los Angeles and the Ocean Group voice actors. |

Since when did 4Licensing became bankrupt? Perhaps ARC-V wasn't bringing them enough juice? |

4Kids Media went bankrupt, but I haven't heard anything about it happening to 4K Media. They had no problem dubbing Darkside of Dimensions and are still working on Arc-V, so it doesn't seem they're having any trouble. |

The cult Carly's VA was in turned out to be mostly harmless and one of the few that are completely voluntary, it's weird but I expected much much worse, Happy Science seems worse than that, I don't think that justified many of the insane changes, that's not even in the realm of Happy Science much less the more demented ones like Jonestown.
