Also, peaked by this thread, was YuGiOhs new show ZeXal, trying to find subs of this was a bitch and in the end the best I could find that was actually seeded looked horribly upscaled but oh well from the looks of the animation I'm not missing much.

The D-Gazer is a cool idea and a bad idea in the same breath, as it both makes the matches more thrilling and yet much more generic. Still that doesn't stop the YuGiOh overly dramatic duels from being any less stupid and ridiculous.

Really though what let the duel down, at least in this opening episode, is the way they had to keep shouting the basic rules of duelling at one another. Mass market, more money etc but come on guys, how many people are there really left on the planet who are watching this and don't know at least the very basics of how this works?

I'll give it a few more episodes though, as it'd clear these episodes are just establishing everything for those two people in the audience who don't know what YuGiOh is and see what the actual plot turns out to be.
