Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion

[Magus TSS]

Chrono's borderline Gao.

In case Bushi hasn't noticed, that's not a good thing.

Both of them will most likely lose at some point it's just Gao is less likely to but this is not the topic for Gao since this is not buddyfight.
I do want to see Chrono legit lose at some point. No the Ibuki fight doesn't count sadly since that fight did not end properly even though he most likely would have lost anyway.
This episode was pretty funny and it was all solidified together really well and we got to learn a bit more about Tokoha which was the point of the episode. There is still more I would have liked to learn though. And I do agree Kumi deserves top tier and main character status. In all honest it be better seeing more of Kumi then morikawa v2 but thats just me.

Not just you Magus, I'd love to see more of her and less of the the three stooges myself. Apparently a lot of folks are getting annoyed with this new season and there's a couple of reasons why. One of them is probably Chrono and his constant win streak. The little jerk is talking like he is some kind of seasoned pro already, it's like he 'knows' he is going to be great at the game and has no reservations or doubts about himself right now and that, to me, shows a weak character that isn't really able to develop much. It's sad if I'm interested more in the side characters than I am in the MC.

Though one good thing about this recent episode (#6), is the talk about clan Leaders, I'm very curious now if they'll show them all and who they are.

Chrono doesn't seem really cocky or anything to me, just confident. I personally think the plot is going pretty well Chrono will lose a real match at some point, you have to give it time to grow. They are showing what the new season has to offer and some background on the main characters. I also think Kumi was a great addition to the new season. Oh and Gao I hate him with a passion(that's all I'm a say).

Episode six was great, I think the branch leader was about to burst out the vermillion stride people are expecting. I also think the clan leader thing is great.

Well he would have lost today if it wasn't for the fact Mamoru interrupted the fight. Oh that rage was too priceless though. xD I also agree with what Sirvat said about Chrono. It's not that he's cocky. He's just fairly confident.
6 episode have passed and you could say that Chrono had the potential to lose twice even though they had no outcomes.
And the clan leader thing is a wonderful thing. Wonder if there are nation leaders too.

The only problem I had this episode and I'm surprisingly happy about it regardless is that there is... I can't see Mamoru winning with a 2 card disadvantage at the start of the game against Morikawa V 2.0 especially after playing a similar deck to 2.0's for the short while I've got to try Susanoo.

SO I SEE THIS IS HAPPENING

I'll say I was not expecting Nagisa to be so beautiful grown up still nowhere near as beautiful as Emi. I wonder if she's gotten over Kamui yet. I doubt it. It be funny if she started liking Morikawa 2.0 though. I can't say this enough I really love this season so much. While this episode had no real cardfights we got quizzed on some classics cards in the game but I wonder if it has a special meaning. And Chronos shows character growth some more.

[Sandy]

Chrono's an gullible wannabe 'tough guy' who secretly has a heart of gold.....cliche much? Nagi is still annoying obsessed with marriage and Kamui hasn't slapped a restraining order on her so in the end it's kind of his fault, also I took a look at Chrono's hairstyle and... it looks like he has a mullet? xD

[Magus TSS]

I don't think Kamui can legally do that. Nagisa did get a bit more mature and got a bit more elaborate but yea somethings just never change. Just seeing the Kamui flash backs made me laugh. My god such a good episode. Anyway good news poped up today the Bushi NicoNico conference from way early this morning confirmed that normal cardfighting will begin from episode 12 onward. The reason they was doing it this way was due to the fact that they wanted to bring in new players. Which I think was a brilliant idea. (Am still expecting grade 1-2 skips then normal cardfighting on 3 personally)

Thank God. I was starting to lose hope.

Still, it took them 12 episodes to get back to something 'semi' normal. I don't know if that'll attract back those who have already left though. D:

But it's been the best 9 episodes so far that vanguard has ever had since the start of season 3. It's sad because I'm one of the only few who feels that way. Dunno how the next 2 episode will go but for now it's has been really good and not really given that chance it really deserves. The Character development has been extremely good this season and completely underestimated. They weren't perfect mind you but they was really solid. But Today was by the most near perfect episode I have ever seen in the entire series. That story is so priceless. The character development from all of the character present was more then solid. Sure no full fights but still. It was so amazing. It's so amazing that I don't even want to bother spoiling it any futher in a thread that will soon be loaded with spoils. I cried at the end also. If there is one episode to watch before the 12 episodes returns to normal it's has to be this one so far.

[Sirvat]

I love the character development, but I have to say its getting kind of boring I need to see some amazing cardfights and action. Well I cant wait to next episode to see Jaime Alcaraz.

Finally caught up with the anime, and although slow-paced character development is good, it would be better if they did so with full fights. Even if all the 1 episode stories they did till now had to become 2, it would still be better imo. One of the most important things in the anime for us who play the game(Or at least me) is checking out the new cards, and it's really frustating when they show them without the skill. Besides the fact that full fights give a necessary tension towards the result.

EDIT:Forgot to mention Akane as Akane, Akaneception.

Here's my thing with the character development. Not the pacing or the episodes being boringly flashy but more of:

Why is character development being established before anything happens? We just met our cast, why are they all already growing up in the very first few episodes before their flaws are pointed out in the face of adversity? That pacing is really off to me. We shouldn't be working on characters in-depth like that already. It tries to establish a reason to care about the cast, and that's fine. My miff with that idea is that there'll be little reason to care afterwards since they'll already be done and if they're not, their development will feel dragged out.

Also, I wouldn't call the start of Season 3 good, but that's just my opinion like the rest of this.

I can wait a few more weeks to get interested in G again. Maybe I'll start with Jamie's debut because hot Jamaican.

Wouldn't that mean that there getting into some, how you say, 'hard core' cardfighting- atleast that what I hope
