I ended up dropping Zexal completely because I could not stand Yuuma. The duels just weren't as fun to watch as 5ds were.
I t hink Ark V might pull me back in though, it looks like it's going to be a more laid back show. |

I dropped the anime around the middle to end of GX. Jaden was annoying, never lost, was a complete monster ("Lemme sacrifice all my friends and allies I made over the past 2 seasons so I can save one guy I met a month ago!"), and was constantly pulling new BS E-Hero fusions out his ass whenever it seemed like he was on the verge of experiencing a loss.
I couldn't stand Jaden, so the anime was too hard to sit through. 5Ds' premise was fine, but it's execution was far too...Dumb. It felt like a 90's show made a decade late.

I liked 5ds first two seasons, because at least there was some semblance of a plot and character development. The show kinda went all over the place once the Dark Signer stuff finished though.
And Yuuma was like Jaden except a million times worse. |

I gave ZeXal a chance, mainly out of curiosity for how the Xyz card type would work, but I quickly dropped it too.

I'm a semi serious yugioh player. I know more of the in depth rules and the combos my deck and other decks can perform but I don't take it too seriously.

For the anime, I love Duel Monsters to death. I stopped watching GX somewhere in the late 50s (whatever episode it was after Judai lost to Phoenix and then became all mopey about it and left the school because he is a sore loser). I enjoyed the first 64 episodes of 5Ds so much I even bought the Region 2 DVDs that contained those episodes and the series had a perfect ending with episode 64. I just lost interest after that, but I did watch the last two episodes of the show, which were good. Oh, and I had watched the last few episodes to GX when he dueled Not Yugi and it was lame. As for ZeXaL, I watched the first three episodes and gave up and then decided to watch the final episode today. It was quite lackluster and felt like a blatant rip off of the duel between Yugi and Atem.
I really love the manga and I do wish they would either redo Duel Monsters in Kai fashion (getting rid of Noa, Doma, and Grand Prix) or just do a completely new series that fully adapts the manga to a T from start to finish. Although, I will admit the anime gave the series a nice epilogue as opposed to just stopping after everyone got out of the tomb. As for Arc V, I'm probably only going to bother if someone decides to fansub it. I'm trying to move away from the raw viewing thing. If I like something enough, such as Kamen Rider, Sentai, and Godzilla, I'll do it. But it is harder with Yu-Gi-Oh! nowadays with the complex rules and not knowing what the cards I am seeing do. Anyway, I sold off 98% of my entire collection (at least 12,000 cards) for $350 and am now starting a new. I picked up some Shadow Spectres and that Deluxe Edition of Legacy of the Valiant today with some of that money and have most of my Ghostrick deck built. I just need the Rare cards now along with some older cards like Swords of Concealing Light to add to my deck. Finally, I have a Duel Network account, but I pretty much only use it these days to deck build. Not only am I sick of people quitting when they are about to lose, or people using their OTK decks even when you specifically state you are testing your deck out, but I just cannot get used to playing without real physical cards. THe only problem is, all of my friends have given up on the series and either moved to Vanguard or just quit entirely. |

That is one of the most terrible opening theme songs I have heard in quite awhile.
