/a/ - anime/random

I don't really rewatch shows that much. Maybe a few that I repeatedly rewatch during the years, but that is.

So the only thing I can think of is Yu-Gi-Oh!. Watching it first as a kid on TV and later doing it again, but on my PC with the Japanese version. The dialogue changes and censorship aside the voices in the dub sound very meek, but that didn't matter much to my younger me. Yu-Gi-Oh! was cool anyway. But rewatching it years later in the original the voices are marvellous and their dialogues are overall a lot more serious. When they got to the tower in the Battle City tournament they might have been playing card games, but god damn it, everything was badass as fucking hell. You could just feel and see how much better the Japanese voices bring the faces you see alive. Also fuck the English opening, the Japanese ones are a thousand times better. The fourth one is my favourite, but the first one is right behind it and from the moment you listen to it you can clearly see how from a 6+ in the dub it jumps quickly to a creeping adolescence.

The first one is called Voice. This one is Warriors.

I haven't gone 6 months since I first finished the show without rewatching at least a few episodes of this. It still impresses me how weird and artsy the first season can get while still being super enjoyable.

Is that show actually good though? I watched it when I was 10 and enjoyed it but I can't imagine enjoying it now especially with how much bullshit they pull because the game didn't even have actual set in stone rules for a decent amount of time.

It is great. Yes, the first season (first 50 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters) lacks proper rules, but when the Battle City starts (from episode 55) it pretty much follows the rules with very few exceptions. Even so it is more than worth it to go through the first season too.

GX (the next generation) is fun too, but DM is easily superior. GX is based on a heavy use of fusions. Then it comes to 5D's and actually many people think it is better than DM. It is with the new synchro monsters in a dystopian future Domino City (the city where Yugi and friends were in). The next one is Zexal and they tried to go for a little lower demography (borderline teenagers). It is disliked by many, but also most people think it got a lot better in the second half. The newest one is ARC-V. ARC-V actually features easily the most complex story so far with a lot of intrigues and mysteries going around. It is very enjoyable and many people put on the top, but I personally still like DM the most, with 5D's close behind, then closely behind ARC-V, then GX and at the very bottom Zexal.

I think it is overall a very enjoyable franchise with Zexal being the only questionable one.

I forgot to mention that Zexal introduces XYZ monsters and ARC-V pendulum monsters.

I was surprised how bad was Ixion Saga DT on a rewatch. Somehow in my mind it had managed to compress down to like 10 episodes of goodness, while cutting out all the unfunny parts. From the whole first half I remembered max 2-3 episodes. Only when they went to that castle where they staged their deaths did I start remembering more of the anime.

But eh, who cares. Mariandale is still fucking great, and Princess is still a miracle of the universe.

Recently re-watched as well. Gags are kind of hit and miss, OP and ED still hold up at least.
