Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal

Well, 5D's turned "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES" into a feasible and fairly awesome concept. Zexal has potential yet.

Yuma lost so many times it's not even funny.

Other Yu Gi Oh! protagonists usually win 95% of the time. Yusei only lost to Kalin, and that's unofficial because he injured himself. Jaden only lost to Yugi.

The Dub is airing today at 9:30am in the USA
These are the Zexal Dub Tittles so far : Go With the Flow: Part 1 , Go With the Flow: Part 2,In the End: Part 1 and In the End: Part 2


Here's the new opening for the non dub version

and the new ending

I tried to watch the English version, and I just can't do it. I'll stick with the Japanese version, and at a good time now that its starting to spark my interest even more.

The dub is actually quite better than GX in my opinion and it seems to mesh with the japanese episodes too. I'd rather have a protagonist that loses more than wins that way it is more relatable.

It seems to help that Zexal is so much lighter than 5D's. I haven't watched Zexal, but almost anything would be lighter than the Satellite and Dark Signers in 5D's. Which makes the dubbing much smoother.

GX will always be my favorite YGO series, but I'm willing to give ZEXAL a try. It's a bit iffy so far, but I do like Shark.

Shark is a good character because he knows what happens if you get caught cheating and he is very unique because of his strategy in duels.

I just hope Zexal isn't full of episodes where the main character will be practically in checkmate then pulls out the most ridcoulous move to win. That's the only thing I can't stand in each incarnation of Yu-Gi-Oh. Probably why I don't care much for GX

I think that Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal is already the best Yu-Gi-Oh! show (I say that after having watched the first 3 episodes in English), and I think that such may say something about my opinion of the 3 other shows.

I was gonna make a long blog post about it, as I didn't know where a thread for it could be found. (That post currently exists as a user note.) Regardless, I like Zexal for various reasons, that I may get into later.

5Ds is my favorite YGO series so far (in japanese, watch duels with "Clear Mind" as BGM is freaking incredible)! I'd like more the original series if Joey wasn't a total waste with so many loss (and many of his duel are as awesome as Yugi's/Pharaoh's).

GX was fine to me until thing turning into something like a season or two of fillers with boring duels. By this, I'm seeing ZEXAL as a "GX done right". They started the plot early, Yuma's and Astral's duels are pretty good. I like Jayden, he's one of my favorite characters, but, GX confusing script did not help me to to watching weekly. ZEXAL, on the other hand, is as interesting as 5Ds by now.

GX is actually my favorite YGO series because it was legitimately entertaining in that it didn't take itself too seriously and poked fun at its flimsy premise all the time.

ZeXal, though... I'm not feeling it so far. I'll try it a bit longer, but so far the only things I like about it are Astral and Shark.

Zexal has actually become my most favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! series to come. I love the plot, I think it's moving reasonably fast, and the characters are awesome.
Yuma makes for a good main character. He starts out really bad and always needs Astral's help. He later gets better and starts to win on his own. He's also entertaining.
Astral is really cute and entertaining. He's also very interesting. I can't wait to see more stuff about him.
Kotori is actually a good female character, even though I usually can't stand the "I do nothing but stand around" female characters. I actually like Kotori.
Tetsuo is.... Well, okay I guess. I have nothing against him.
I like Cathy, the class rep, and Tokunoske is okay.
KAITO IS THE MOST AWESOME GUY EVER ALONG WITH N. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He's so interesting and I never get bored with Kaito! KYAAA~! XD
Shark is okay, I guess. He doesn't do much, yet.
IV is definitely not going to bore anyone. He's UNIQUE. XD
III is criminally adorable. SO. DARN. CUTE.
V is probably a fangirl favorite. I like him.

I'll leave out some people, but you get the idea. I LOVE THIS SERIES. I'm an addict. XD A "Zexal and Kaito" addict.

Yeah, me too! I LOVE ZEXAL!!! And I love IV so much!!!

I first didn't find Zexal appealing, but after watching a few episodes, I got the hang of it. Plus, those Xyz summons ("OVERLAY" :P) are pretty awesome. While the main character is (uh) hopeless - seriously, he is a Numbers Hunter yet he forgets that they aren't destroyed by battle (in-anime effect) - the story development has been interesting lately.

I still like 5D's and original series more though, former being my favorite so far.
