Worst of all, the episode did nothing to explain to me what this new Pendulum summoning is. Oh, and now the first person to play does not even get to draw a card. LAME!! The designs are dumb, but the worst is that stupid hippo. I thought the cards Judai used in GX were bad, but these are just awful. Overall, I give it a 3/10 and that is really just for the opening song. I may watch the next episode just to see if they actually explain Pendulum, but I don't know. If you are a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan and over the age of 8, do not even waste your time on this crap. If you like Beyblade and are 5, it might be for you.

Thinking about it, Kain I think I agree with you for once. I just hit an epiphany with Yugioh in that I just couldn't get it as I did the other series. And I do agree with what you said about the card designs. Outside of Odd Eyes Dragon, every one of Yuya's lower level monsters look utterly ridiculous.

There's also the whole card games is serious business mentality that's going on strong here. I really wished Ark V was gonna take a more laid back approach but if it's gonna be more of the same let's save the world by playing a children's card game BS, then I think I'm out.

At least with the first series it made sense because you had the whole history repeating itself theme throughout. But I'm realizing that unless you present a good enough reason as to why the card game is interregnal to the plots, it does look a little silly.

Needless to say, I think I'm done with Yugioh. I'll still probably play the card game whenever the android version of Ygo pro comes out though.

EDIT: Reading up on pendulum summoning on the wikia and I still don't entirely understand how the mechanic works...
