CARD GAMES ON MOTOR- What's that? That's about to finish up?
So, Card Games on what now?

[tarrin4ever]

Card games on airplanes?

[Malintex_Terek]

No, guys. -_-

It's card games on iPods.

[Chopperrules]

Ugh, now you've done it.

I was hoping no one would make a thread for this until 5D's finishes before we have to talk about how this will have nothing on 5D's.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, Janime has all the info released so far here:

The basic jist is this is like a Duel Master/Bleybade YGO ripoff (even though YGO came first) and is combining the original aspects of Duel Monsters (Main character being possessed by a guy without memories on a quest) and GX (a young protagonist in school).

The only redeeming qualities this has so far is that it takes place in actual high school and not a school about card games and the animation quality looks even better than 5D's from the previews I've seen. I mean incredibly fluid.

[Zack]

Well, I suppose I shouldn't judge it too quickly. I made that mistake with 5D's.

[dan2026]

Why wont they let Yu-Gi-Oh! die!
Why wont they just let it dieeeeeeee!!

[RPGJay]

It prints money. Thats why.

[BatDan]

Remember when the Pharaoh was a bastard that would do things like burn people alive or alter their version so all they see is mosaics all because they lost a game?

Yu-Gi-Oh would have been so much better if they kept that and didn't become "The Card Game Manga/Anime"

[Flux]

Cardgames within a Cardgame.

Calling it now.

[Glowstuff]

They should bring back Yugi.....or Jaden.

[Narutossss]

sooo are we going discuss this new series or make card games on whatnot jokes?

We making 'em cus we don't know the twist. Like 5D's had Cards on Bikes.

This new one has gotta have something the makes it 'special'

[RPGJay]

Besides, what really is there to talk about at this point?

[Narutossss]

I'm not sure if it's true but I heard it's cardgames on Rollerblades

[SonPan]

We already have cardgames on skateboards in 5D's so I really dont think its going to be "cardgames on" anything this time.
I think the iphones they have on their wrist will play a role in the new "twist" this series will have.
Seeing this topic I'm already missing Yusei as the main character :(

Little kids who are "badasses" are called "brats" they arent cool. -_-

Alas I promised I'd watch the first 10 episodes before judging... *sigh*

[Narutossss]

Not to mention he has the most retarded design so far... his age doesn't help. From the info I got after watching the trailer the main yuma and astral give off a yugi and atem vibe.

[Chopperrules]

Yugi is the the King of Games and i've also listen about it's new series, which will be out in February. The spinoff series look like a joke

Actually, it comes out in April, thank the lord. We will get at least another month worth of 5D's, possibly going into the start of April as well, totaling around 154 episodes.

Why wont they let Yu-Gi-Oh! die!
Why wont they just let it dieeeeeeee!!

Two answers:

-It makes money and supports the card game
-Takahashi is too gullible and he makes designs in his spare time and stupidly shows them to the staff, inspiring a new series.

I am planning to watch the first 10 episodes before completely giving up on it. Another redeeming quality it may have is if the supernatural element ends up being the astral world and that sort of mythology if my guess is correct.
