Title: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion
Post by: [ER] Patrickzzz on October 25, 2014, 11:05:21 AM
Well we used to create a topic to discuss each new episode, but since that eventually died out because people stopped making it, i had this idea to create just one topic to discuss the latest anime episode. I know there are some topics talking about season 5 already, but that's more for season information than the anime itself. So i wouldn't like to mix.

It goes without saying that this topic contains spoilers.

If the mods think that this is not a good idea just delete the topic, otherwise pin it.

Latest Episode:

First impressions: I actually quite liked the first episode, although it was just an introduction to the new world, i'm looking forward to see what's coming next. But damn, they really skipped a lot of stuff, even if they had to split it into two episodes it wouldn't hurt to show us at least the boss card skills >.<

4. Who is the new dragon clan guy user?
5. Finally, IS THAT CAMEO AT THE END A SIGN OF SOME SORT!?!?!?!

This probably would be better merged with the Season 5 thread but this place acts as an episode archive and overall discussion of G so it'll pass. Also, I don't feel the need for us to really use spoiler tags when this is a place to discuss the new episodes in the first place. So feel free to just disregard the use of them. The thread title itself is pretty much telling people to be ready for spoilers, it'd be their own fault for peaking if they didn't want to be spoiled.

Moving on, I liked and disliked this episode. It did something I liked which is the same as what Monty did as RWBY Volume 2 released its first episode: the animation has become godlike. Choosing your field background on the table is the future itself. They have decided to throw literally over half of their budget at the animation and hot damn is it paying off. For the writing itself however, I'm disappointed. Especially for the person who wrote some of Season 1's best episodes. The new kids feel very random, especially Chrono, and he's the main protagonist.

Chrono's whole character seems blank but with hidden dreams. The homework or essay assignment his class was given was about future dreams and Chrono wrote independence. ... Yet, he didn't seem to be paying attention. He is very much like Naoki but he lacks the puppy aura. For an introductory episode, they sure did a good job at showing us little to nothing about the guy we're going to be rooting for throughout this new generation.

The fight itself was beautiful and horrendous. Again, the animation is amazing. In addition to that they decided on doing something I was hoping for since season 2: they made the fights look genuine. It was more than just chess pieces that stayed in place or launched one strike during the battle phase. Chrono Jet Dragon comboed Mecha Battler Viktor, Mystery Flare Dragon fired an enormous blast followed by another one after. Hell, Kamui scared Chrono by almost breaking the first turn no attack rule just to get him in the feel of the image. However, all of this was much better suited as a two parter. The "tutorial" of every season wasn't given at all. It makes no sense how Chrono was doing well when Kamui wasn't actually telling him how to play. They're skipping over portions of the fight again and this is how the show began to deteriorate.

I don't care much for what they've done with Stride so far either. They keep screaming "GENERASHUNNNNNNNNN" and it's irritating me. We got it guys, this is Cardfight GX, a new generation. You don't need to shove the same word down our throat, certainly not for the action of striding. The commands for the G-Zone are very poor. "Generation: Release" I think and "Stride Generation" feel very stupid and just forcing the word generation as I stated. Stride itself looks very pretty and the act of performing the "Interdimensional Crosstalk" in lore presents a godly summoning sequence. It was only ruined by the dialogue.

I would have appreciated two episodes for this fight to get to know Chrono a little better to understand his sudden flare to win. I'd even like to know what Kamui has been up to and talking about how long the fight was before to get him to where he is today. It wouldn't have killed to give Shion more of a single line either.

Overall, this was a very poor introduction. It shows the ride(HA) we're gearing(HAHA) up for by giving us a gorgeous presentation of how fights will be played out. But it didn't show much promise for better writing. I still have hope for the rest of this series; this is still only episode 1. I just can't shake that it crushed me a little at how lacking it was in important departments. I do like that Gear Chronicle does embody a true "mysterious arrival" alien feeling. I'm excited to see how they fit in the demonic nation of Dark Zone with their time control abilities.

ALSO HOW DID NO ONE SPEAK A WORD OF CHRONO'S CINNAMON ROLL THE WHOLE EPISODE

The new managers are more important than sweets. I mean look at their demanding poses, those death gazes of cuteness, the manager-like stature, and their potential for big business!?!?!
They are running that store so successfully and it has a more futuristic look than their parent's store, card capital!?!?!?!
So spacious! The new innovative cardfight tables! The giant card display boards! Those convenient trial decks on the counter! Hiring a famous passionate cardfighter to sell their products!
That entire business was accomplished in the three year time gap!
Can we not be in awe of cinnamon rolls and be in awe of those corporate geniuses!

@Fang Ofc the manager's family rules everything now.

@Cherry Yes introduction-wise it sucked, but since we already know the rules i didn't mind it that much(except for the card skills) Im just happy to see the new animation(Those ride effects *-*) and the design overall weren't dissapointing. As far as character development goes they can take their time, as you said chrono seems to have stuff hidden but there's no need to rush in.

Just some spoiler free thoughts.
A) Chrono's voice didn't annoy me 'as' much as I thought it would, sure it gets... cracked here and there, but thankfully that's short.
B) Love the opening sequences.
C) Everything's so futuristic!... and kinda reminds me a bit 'too' much of Gundam Build Fighters....hmmmmm!
D) They skipped over some basics that they taught in the first episode of other 'starter' seasons. Maybe a little 'too' rushed.
E) Did anyone else notice that his 'swirl' didn't move in the wind like the rest of his hair? I swear it's made out of plastic or something!
F) I was kind of hoping they'd make mention of it somewhere that it had been three years later, yet, nadda.

The ones below though, DO contain spoilers, read at yer own risk!
Spoiler
1) He...won his first game? What? I seriously hope they don't give him some crappy ass 90-ish percent win ratio like they do with most of the YGO MC's >:/
2) So.. this clan comes out of no where, with no word from anyone, officially or not. But it's official. And...I'm guessing, like AQ, it'll get supported 'mysteriously' by some booster releases that are only given to that person(s)? Plot Hole called, said it hopes you don't mind getting randomly dropped support now and again!
3) I like how we get to see all the characters throughout the anime, though I'm still worried about the girl, I swear if she ends up a cheerleader, I'm am SO done with this anime.

allot of people watched the episode thinking this is gonna be some great leap in the anime making the the best thing since slice bread.
to my people, this is a cardgame anime.
infact one of the things i hoped it would be is more first halve and season 1 and 3 like, no supernatural power or speaking creatures from another universe.

overall the first ep is good and focused where it needed to focus first, unlike the first ep of season 2,3,4. i love the new animation and creative way's the units act during fights, not just stand there and grunt or laugh a few words. you pay close enough attention you will notice allot of new little things in the show.

as for characters it is a letdown we didnt get to know any of them that well, but atleast we know kamui is the same guy only taller and with a yugi-like hairdo. has anyone else notice how similair shion is to fate series' saber.

all in all in normal vanguard anime standards it broke the mole, showing that the show wants to be more then just a cardgame anime show making there game a little more entertaining, or this could be just a first episode thing. but end result we will have to wait and see whats more to come.

I liked the episode, but the fight sequences felt more like generic anime fights (not that there's anything wrong with that, it was just a little too fast-paced for me, and I prefer the more traditional slow-paced sequences). But the animation was at least amazing for Vanguard's standards.

I don't know if I am the only one to notice or not but whenever a unit was called they were surrounded in sigils with the color of that unit's nation

We already know the colors of each Nation so I won't tell what is what however there is a extra detail to this:
Not only do we get their color but we also get the Sigil of that unit's clan kinda of like how a nation has a Flag and the smaller groups that make up the nation have their own Flags to split themselves up from one another.

Here are the three examples from three of the clan we have seen:

Gear Chronicle:  Purple Symbol with Two Gears in a Clockwork formation(You know where gears turn)

Nova Grappler: Gray Symbol with a Robot Fighter raising two arms up.

Kagero:  Red Symbol with the Head of a Dragon as the Sigil.

EPISODE 2!

My thoughts? Here goes, list format!

1. It's kinda cool that they explained what the hell those compact... squares were. They're called Ficas.
2. Quests? Isn't that just an overly complicated thing to do to make people fight one another? So no longer will you be allowed to enter into a tournament, you just have to show up and flash your Fica and either pass or not based on your current grade?
3. Ficas... are portable tables? WHAT? That.. is kinda lame, they're like duel disks... but lamer.
4. So.. Trinity Dragon, I first thought would be some bad ass team... but nope, it's comprised completely of ass hats that are supposed to apparently be Morikawa's replacement...but instead I found them to be even more horribly annoying. Seriously I wanted to give them all a good slap in the mouth.
5. Aaaaand the leader uses OTT... it's like having a cherished memory being corrupted in front of your eyes. An ass hat idiot is using the clan I first started playing vanguard with... I shall hold back my tears... my tears of rage! Seriously, I wouldn't mind it as much...if someone ELSE was using OTT, just anyone but those three.
6. And AGAIN with the rushed fights, what the hell? I tune in to watch the fights as well as the other stuff, this isn't some crappy reality tv series bushiroad, less real life situations and more fights, thanks.
Title: Re: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion
Post by: Cherry on November 02, 2014, 12:38:12 AM
"You said you were a part of Trinity Dragon... but you don't have any dragons".

Sad part is that was pretty much the highlight of the episode aside from the cutie who played Raizers.

So the first episode of G shows beautiful graphics, but then the second episode just sort of diminishes the awesome of the animation from the pilot. This episode was in all honesty terrible. They're trying to introduce a new Morikawa but he has two groupees like Kamui. Though they aren't real bullies, just annoying Ginyu-esque idiots. I got excited when I saw Tsunedo announced that his clan was Oracle Think Tank and even more when I saw Susano'o. ... But nothing happened. No skills explained, no drive checks, no damage checks, no actual Strides, and to top it all off, this episode was titled "Katsuragi Kamui" and he only played the Sempai role. He didn't actually do much of anything to deserve the episode naming.

Chrono-Kamui relationship is a nice change from the awful of Aichi-Kai. Kamui is acting like a real Vanguard role model for Chrono, which is great. All Kai did was act as the stoic badass, then the loner badass, then the disaster that was his season 4 persona toward Aichi. The most I can say is that the writing for the cast seems to be a lot more enjoyable than the previous generation. ... For the main cast anyway.

Why is it embarrassing to share a name with a Vanguard card? I would say that's pretty awesome since you can mold yourself into that image all the more easily. I'd say it's something to be proud of with Chrono Jet being his current avatar card.

Then there's top tier waifu Misaki Tokura. She came in only for a minute and saved this episode. It's good to see her original nature of bossy return (literally because she's a boss). I'm rather irritated she wasn't the one who spearheaded the Oracle Think Tank debut though. There's also Shion getting more than one word for a line and his seiyuu sounds great. ... Not much else to say since Shion himself was the most random thing of this episode next to Tokoha and her friend. Though, I wonder if Tokoha's friend will play Bermuda for a role reversal from Emi-Mai?

Next episode is Ibuki's insanely fast and early debut. If he's playing Deletors, he's about 7-8 months early to advertise the new Link Joker deck. If he's playing pure Cray Elementals... well then how exactly? Despite this confusion I'm entirely certain he'll probably not even fight like Kamui didn't in his own episode. I'll just be happy to see him I guess. Also it's pretty interesting to see Vanguard turned the world into a COLOSSAL MMO.

Bleh. Hope for G is still diminishing. Just faster than before.

Lol that episode also had no serious fights, i seriously hope this doesn't become bakugan. But storywise it wasn't really bad, but kinda silly. Although i like how the Vanguard universe is right now, with nations and stuff being important also a vanguard community and all. That Fica thing with the quests is very interesting, i even think it would be a good idea to the forum to have some quests.Since there's over a 100 sleeves and the pool can't have that many. Could go something like >Play X Clan 10 times win X unit sleeve and so on.

Rushed. That word basically describes a lot of this. They seem to be spending a lot, almost too much time, setting everything up. I mean, couldn't you setup AND have normal fights? I dislike the douche using OTT, but that doesn't  mean I don't want to see an actual match happen. This series is shaping up to be pretty poor. I'm already hearing of people who are on the midst of jumping ship and just focusing on the tcg side of things instead of that 'and' the anime. I shouldn't have to wait several episodes for it to 'get good'. So far, too much slice of life, too little action.

Didn't people start jumping ship in Season 2 already?

The directors seem more interested in showing Chrono eating or animating his goddamn swiss roll than actually writing a card game anime.

To be fair, they're focusing more on setting up the story, giving it a good basis, than delving directly into animated fights. If you Look at Legion mate, the last season, the story was barely set up, nothing was really focused on, all they honestly did was give excuses to make people fight, and then give us half-assed fights on top of it.
I much prefer speed fights like this, which allow us to focus on the story more, to two episode fights that are 0 story, make no sense, and end with vigorous trigger sacking.

First thoughts into this episode:

BEYBLADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LET IT RIP!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not counting breakdown dragon, another skilless fight x.x
And something in the episode including the end of the fight were really stupid. But the episode was worth it just for Ibuki being badass and Itachi'ng Chrono.
Title: Re: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion
Post by: Cherry on November 08, 2014, 11:09:25 PM
Same as the other episodes, this one had only one redeeming quality that made it above the rest: Ibuki Kouji.

No skills, no Chrono using Stride to gather up better hand advantage, no Ibuki explaining Breakdown Dragon's Legion skill, nothing symbolic about explaining what Legion is to Chrono (thank god), nothing. The whole episode is like all of the others so far: a big ball of nothing.

We got a glimpse at Chrono's character. He thinks he can do everything alone but doesn't want to be alone. And he somehow had his cinnamon swirl as a child. Then we get some DBZ tier of stupid by him screaming and breaking the system to stop the fight. There was a number of problems with Mystery Flare appearing outside of the building, and kids seeing it unless literally everyone on Earth forgot about the Link Joker invasion. Y'know, the invasion of gigantic black rings having Star-vaders pour out of them and attack people by draining their life force? Yeah, that one. I suppose actually learning something about how Chrono grew up is a plus, but it just really isn't enough to make G's opening episodes really "hook".

There's nothing to keep anyone interested in G other than where Gear Chronicle came from, and the lore could answer that better for us than anything. In the first season of Vanguard, the only thing we were seeing was Aichi grow up and how cool other characters were. Aichi was terrible and we could see that, even the fact that he had no Grade 3. We were rooting on him to get better. There's no feeling from Chrono like that since he was "pretty good for a beginner" when the rules were barely explained to him. He still makes novice mistakes but he has access to Stride and a Grade 3 already. I guess it was different because Vanguard was very new and Aichi didn't have a lot to work with, but I really can't get into wanting Chrono to win at anything ever right now. I don't care to learn about anyone else since Chrono is more or less defining the plot and the writers aren't making me want to care about anyone else new either. Maybe I'm too attracted to the old cast, but there's nothing appealing in the new one character-wise. We can already tell the kind of Cheerleader Tokoha is likely to be and Shion's already giving the air of "super nice rich kid".

Ibuki pretty much clarified on the reasons why I don't care to see Chrono win at anything too. Then again, Ibuki gave him a stern enough talking-to to be on par with Itachi Uchiha's level of "the reason you suck" speeches.

can i just say again ibuki was this episode's saving grace

Somehow i don't like how they speed up the matches. It's just WHAM BOOM BANG BANG then someone loses. I really, really miss the old Anime. I have no clue what's going on. But i guess they want to make the skills secret.

That's actually one of the best things about this season. It keeps you hype about the card effects by not spoiling stuff away.

I like they giving us a really nice story here too with Chrono and give us nice speed up fights instead of just skip to turn x and see x lose. It slowly feels like season 1 again just without full fights. They can give us fuller fights later but I wouldn't mind it staying this fast paced all the way if they keep doing it right. Ibuki really made this episode a ton more exciting as well. As it stands right now if I had to compare this season to season 2 its already 10x better and we not even half way into it yet. If the pace continues. This will be better then seasons 4 and 3. However I dunno yet about season 1.

The episode was pretty good. The fight was nice, had enough commands to know what was going on while keeping a good animation like in the previous episodes.

The only thing I would like to know is what happened, why did Chrono's G-Unit appeared in the city and why only the kids were able to see it?. Hope we get to know why... someday. :V

I would like to yes but if it kept the same pacing as is now it still would be good if the story stays solid for learning about all the characters and the epic animation we getting this season as well.

It's not that I hate it completely it has good points. It's just compared to the other seasons it's just not as good. Leon, Ren and Koutei was season 2 saving grace as most of their moments was so good. As well as I will never forgive the 2nd to final episode anime error it was too huge.

If you mean the counterblast thing, then they do that all the time. That's not that big of a deal at all, honestly. If not, then I have no clue what you're talking about.
Season 2 was better than season 3 and 4 development wise. Aichi was forced to redevelop both his skill and confidence, Kamui and Misaki both had to grow up in their own ways as well, Leon was a great villain, etc. etc.
The only real bad part of Season 2 was the handling of Chris from Team S.I.T, he seemed more like useless filler than a real mid boss.
Title: Re: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion
Post by: Cherry on November 09, 2014, 07:18:42 PM
Season 2 was honestly every definition of the word "okay".

It was showing how monotonous and boring Bushi's advertisement would be. The only real problem was that literally all of it save the first episode and then the final Psyqualia showdowns was basically filler galore.

Curious What exactly made season 2 and 3 = to you? I really enjoyed season 3 a ton more because of the fact they went to school to the first half then Link Joker invaded which made me sad But it still gave us a season 1 feel the entire way but without going to tournaments to resolve things. What kept it going strong a lot of the way for me was the music brought in for season 3 was amazing. Some of it was brought back for 4 as well Maxing the effectiveness as well. Still wonder what music they will also bring back for season g to if any.

For me, it goes literally  Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3 >>> Season 4
Season 5 isn't ranked yet.

In my opinion, Season 3 is just a glorified Season 2.

The advertisement methods are all the same they're just not playing in tournaments. Instead, they create stupid and meaningless character arcs that those reversed don't remember except sometimes????? Kai himself was the most boring villain of the entire series and Voidkuto wasn't anymore entertaining. The invasion was watered down to not even feel all that "threatening" because instead of legitimate damage they drain life force. On paper, that sounds deadly, but when you're looking at it you just think it's really stupid. You sapped some years off of them... okay? There's also more than a few half baked wins and it was the start of the "skip fight to 4 damage" escapade.

R!Kai vs Ren was the only thing that felt season defining in terms of ranking each season. Link Joker itself was an amazing concept then it was just wasted in random character arcs that just show off Break Ride combos and new bosses.

Basically the same thing as me, although season 2 and 3 tie to me, if i had to choose it would go like that. Literally downhill.

And TSS, Season 2 was great, i like tournaments after all.

Reverse Koutei was the salvation of Season 3 honestly. Aside from how well done the final fight was, music and animation wise, R!Koutei was really fleshed out, and all two out of three fights actually had every turn played out, which was awesome.

That's just like, my opinion though.

Sorry?

It's just hard to really care with the silliness of stupid DBZ beams Chrono keeps sacking. The Battle Sister girl was cute but I still couldn't get into it overall. The cavity part was hilarious but it felt like an embarrassing excuse at comedy after awhile. The ending got back at it being funny though.

I'm gradually getting used to Trinity Dragon (still waiting for them to use an actual dragon). Shion and Tokoha are nothing I'd write home about yet. A real star - Mamoru is the highlight of next week's episode. ... Though, with how Kamui's and Ibuki's episodes were handled, something tells me I'm not missing anything if I don't bother watching it. It might grab my attention since it's finally another person who can use Strides outright and tell Chrono he's playing them wrong.

I'd like to think of Ibuki and Mamoru as the two mountains Chrono has to individually climb. Both telling him off and how to improve in a very arrogant, violent manner. Both his nice Kai Toshikis that will turn into blatant assholes when they're tired of him screaming2win; thinking it'll always work. Ibuki needs some more depth in his reformed self, but Mamoru is likeable so far, which is great.

Also remember when I said the Stride animation was nice? Well I don't, but if I did, I'm taking it back. It's starting to seem more and more like filling in left over airtime.

It's really hard to not get exhausted with how aggravating G is to me so far. So I can't really talk about it without ranting over the same things that'll likely be improved 20 episodes from now.
Title: Re: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion
Post by: Sandy on November 24, 2014, 01:34:09 AM
Good thing about this whole episode? Kumi. I do find it funny, how an episode named after Tokoha, doesn't even have her fighting, but then again, since her stuff doesn't come out till late this year/early next year it sorta makes sense...sorta. I mean Chrono is still beating left and right and then tries to come off like he's some veteran at the game already, god I hate characters like him. Aichi was annoying, yes, so true, but at least he was semi-realistic with his win/lose ratios. It takes someone like Ibuki...who is I'm guessing Kai level if not stronger, to actually beat him and everyone else gets dusted? Just... go away with that stupid swirl please.

BUT enough about my rant about that, this episode was sort of good, I mean was FINALLY get to see some tactics here, some checking and some actual guarding and the like, it was great, about damn time if you ask me.

Pros: Kumi and them actually showing off the mechanics of the friggan game.
Cons: Chrono wins, yet again and on top of it acts like he's a pro at the game already. So how long until he switches souls with an ancient 'spirit' to duel..err.. fight for him?

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.

Post by: Sandy on November 30, 2014, 12:52:00 PM
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.
Title: Re: Latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode Discussion

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.

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.

Chrono's an gullible wannabe 'tough guy' who secretly has a heart of gold.....cliche much?

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)

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.

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.

Jamie is far more open and likable character then I thought he was going to be. I really like him. I can't wait to see some of his Aqua Force deck though it's going to be super scaryish next week.

All the character growth is amazing this season. Bushi really did a good job at it. I still believe people are underrating the series because of it.

Anyway this episode was quite nice for me. Chrono and Tokoha got some more growth. Those two might make a happy couple one day? ...Maybe...? It would be nice.
Anyway it was really solid this is my favorite episode now. Really satisfied by how this episode went.

Me too. They managed to find the balance on how to do a dynamic fight without cutting scenes and still mantain a nice episode story with good character development. And since Chrono lost recently and lost the "Unbeatable MC" status, i actually thought Tokoha would win in that Primavera stride turn, it's good that the result of the fight wasn't obvious.

I really don't like it. It destroys what Cardfight Vanguard had. I'd like to know how Mamoru became Kagero leader and not Kai.
All the fights are animation based, no one plays the actual game. It's so boring to watch that. This is Bakugan all over again.

If you're on episode 12 and just /now/ making a complaint then -shrugs-. Furthermore, the G series isn't bad, they're building up to the competitive scene (them mentioning regionals and whatnot). Personally? It's a lot better than Season 4 which was all: plot, sack, plot, sack. There was no skill whatsoever in any of the season four cardfights, hell, Ren let Kai win just to advance the plot, that's saying something. Just give G some more time to develop and hopefully they'll incorporate more of a tournament competitive scene.

Cardfight Vanguard Generation: Slice of Life
>Confirmed<

Not sure who Bushiroad is appealing to now with this new anime format they have set up, opposite of the other seasons. Little Vanguard, which is fine honestly, the last episodes of the previous season were just sack fights. However, this doesn't quite... I don't know, catch my attention. It's a very weak school/slice of life story they have so far, but oh well. This new episode just... what? Here, have some Power Rangers in the form of Team Caesar. Great Robot fanservice, but I don't know how this is going to make me better at the game Kamui-san. >.>

The sad thing is this episode potentially has plot related elements to it and Kamui is trying to help them prepare. :v
I'm on the Chrono side of things on this one. I really enjoyed this episode so much. It shocked me a bit near the end as well. I have a feeling the animation budget spend on this episode was worth it. It was too strong. But thats just me. Next episode well I'm honestly expect a lot of complaining about it. I hope it's at least decent.

That episode was disappointing. I was like, Koutei episode, just do an epic ride scene with a previous opening playing and you can't go wrong. But they didn't even come close to that, or to cardfight at all, which is weird since that movie was suposed to publicize vanguard xD
Anyway at least Koutei and his team really appeared at the end of the episode so we might get so see them actually fight next week.

Well that was a very unexpected episode it was way better then I originally thought it would be. Infact not only did it change my impression on trinity dragon (and I actually like them a lot more now) it also further enforced my point from last week about that filler episode having plot related elements because it really did try to push plot. Not only all that I really think this is the best episode of the season now. It has everything you could ask for. A fullish fight (as fights go this season but way better then anything this season), was Plot related and had it share of epic moments all around the entire episode. 10/10 episode Worthy of being called a Original season 1 episode. Will watch again.

while most episodes are useless this one showed how different each character are in there own right, the embodiment of most of the people playing the game.

It was a strange gadget that slide down the cards from your shoulder, down your arm and to your hand. I wonder if that would even work in RL. But yea poor Chrono it could have been worse for him but he really needs to learn not to just grab people and just call a judge. Also 5 years for cheating?

IKR, this episode was pretty epic. If I was Chrono I would have told the judge then when it was over hit him right in the face. Im sure it would not work in real tho, the gadget was pretty big, and I dont see how that sweater hid it lol. That 5 years was op tho. Im pretty happy the anime is finally moving along.

5 years seems harsh in my opinion, perhaps 2-3 years and removal of points could've sufficed. Although, if they had little to no points, then 4 years. The judge who wanted to give Chrono the same punishment was a jerk.

  No not really. He was thinking about the safety of others. Chrono's ended up grabbing him to stop him from leaving. (Jerk deserved it though)
But yea I won't bother to go into the details since anime logic would made my point irrelevant and the right calls were ended up made in the end.

and the new link jokers look balance yet powerfull at the same time, hope we see there skills soon.

Jesus, Ibuki's ham this episode was quite something.

I haven't kept up with G (I still don't think it warrants my attention), but I noticed Messiahs on the wiki, so I went to check. I'm glad I did. The BSOD was extremely short for Chrono, so I'm not going to get into that. Ibuki becoming a traveler was silly, yet interesting to see some of the things he did after he began to change after the events of Neon Messiah. I don't think that nomad he met was Gear Chronicle's source, though. Possibly someone involved with their coming to the word though.

The fight itself I was only focused on Ibuki's plays. Messiahs are EXACTLY how I want them to be. They emphasize on the factor of them being forgiven by Cray, by punishing themselves with lock, and then unlocking themselves as evidence they've been forgiven. And they make amends by unlocking the opponent's units at times too. ... When you think about it, it's almost like Alter Ego and the Strides are literally Jesus cards. That's incredibly neat.

They have interesting techniques and combo plays that flow very smoothly. I feel very happy with how they were advertised, and how Chrono is still years away from actually beating Ibuki.

Well this is the first episode NOT worth watching my opinion.
I'm a bit upset in the beginning of this episode and if your a Granblue fan you probably be worse maybe even livid. But then again Jamie has "#plotarmorexcuse" so whatever. Oh he drives? Well this narrows down his age quite a bit. He actually looks cool doing it. Other then that. Worst start to a episode this season.

The main half of the episode itself... Well... Nothing new basically. We did see cool looking golds but other then that nothing. No Skills at all and all we got is something that should have been in episode 1. Tutorials... However At least Taiyou Asukawa that was learning the game this episode is more memorable then any other side character we've had so far well not counting Kumi and the couple from the last episode that used spikes but yea. It's sad we may never see Taiyou again but he will always be in my(Our?) hearts. Good luck Taiyou.

In my opinion, this is one of the best tutorial episodes done so far regarding *tutorial* episodes.
It didn't skip over too many steps, described how boosting worked, explained the stride mechanic, and felt thorough.

Problems with tutorial
-doesn't explain the abilities of cards enough.
-twin drive not explained.
-g-assist not used for explanation sake.
-draw trigger not explained.
-Limit break and Legion not explained, but can be located in other tutorial episodes. *Refer to second episode of Legion Mate Arc if needed for education purposes*
-Tokoha and Kiba kept interrupting.
-Counterblasts and Soul not explained.
-Doesn't explain that you need equal or more damage than your opponent to heal.

I have literally no idea what was going on in this episode, but G has my interest again. Because Yuichiro and Ibuki are the best characters in all of Vanguard. Forget Ren, this guy is the proper lord of Shadow Paladin. Ren can go keep being Batman.

This guy's ham is incredible. Aurageyser is potentially very stupid, Clarent Sword is ENORMOUS, Tachikaze got bodied again (confirmed punching bag clan), Tohoka's parents are adorable, and just goddamn Yuichiro's hair deserves a medal. It put Ren's to shame instantly.

The rebel Shadow Paladin faction is glorious and so is JAM Project's return.

Meh the 3-0 was a bit much, but I mean Chrono vs Leon was semi justified. Leon got all his wins from sack/lol psyqualia so it's fair that he gets sacked back in return righttt. Maybe it was a bit early for it, but it's no less BS imo then most of the g-fights. If anything I find it worse that they didn't even show properly what Ripples do. 2-1 win or something like that would have been more reasonable.

Yeah but.

They didn't even make Leon draw on the 2nd Tetra Boil attack.

They made Jaime stride Lambros first into Thavas and then even forgetting Andrei exists even tho Andrei + 16k Skiros would be 2 attacks which would have beaten down Tokoha's entire hand had she the guard for it. That would mean Tokoha had no chances of coming back.

Chrono was just top g3, sack crit on each drive check and what not. Completely logical especially since he has done this 4 times in a row?

Its predictable now at this point and the win against Leon was completely un-necessary.

I assumed he just drew off screen, didn't pay attention to his hand size really because it was obvious how they were going to do it. Tokoha also shouldn't have come back anyway with no field + pretty much no hand, and really shouldn't have won but oh well. Thavas thing was because they wanted to get the retire effect of as well to show of the full skill, even though had he done it the normal way of Thavas>Lambros he would have probably won regardless.

Unless I'm mistaken though, the way the event was made was that to become a clan leader, they have to win all the challenges which included beating Leon and co. Might be wrong on that one though, in which case there is no reason for them to have won at all. I just don't see this as particularly different from say last season fight wise, yes it was lazy writing and such (and manages to show off how lazy lolrestanders are design wise after Chrono actually did interesting moves first stride), but it's standard for G.

Sack is not sack for the Vanguard anime, it's strength of will or whatever, topdecks aren't really topdecks, plus even more then before they make a big show of how much luck Chrono has. Also it wasn't that predictable if only for it being Leon, I half expected a miracle heal due to what Leon normally does, guess they didn't go that route. Overall the episode was still nice to look at, despite the misplays, and sack which is standard for the anime in general. If they do this for every branch competition/every Chrono win then it will get boring quickly, but they still have time to change that.

Well explain me this

When Jaime attacked Tokoha he had 4 hand

Why is it before she attacked he only had 5 hand.


For Leon's game its a case of

With that one card difference knowing there's another PG in hand can easily go

"guard no pass on Chronojet and beat off the rear"

Its nothing about strength of will here. Its about the animators bsing off the Aqua characters for no good reason I mean like.

How did Tokoha get good enough to beat down Jaime with little to no difficulty.

I'm sadly not counting on it after what I just seen. Misaki basically threw her fight to have Tokoha win.
So I'm expecting Kai to do the same. I'm going to be blunt I would rather seen Tokoha 6 heal again which would have been completely fine then this.

I've never seen such a mountain of misplays in a single turn that Misaki would have never done normally. The fight turned into a huge disappointment so fast to what was starting off to be one of the best anime cardfight matches in all of vanguard history. And it was so close to being a proper passing of the torch.

Lets list all the problems with this one turn. And remember Euryale skill hit the perfect guard in her hand. That mattered.
1 and 2. Misaki last card before her stack was a crit trigger. She has photographic memory. She should know she has a 3x crit coming. Meaning there was absolutely no reason for her to stride into Wakahirume. Absolutely none. This is 2 misplays in one point. (I understand they have to promote the stride but all they just did was just hurt the match even more)
3. Sussano was the best stride choice for that turn. Not only would Euryale hit 21000 (without triggers) Tom would have actually been hitting the key 16000 mark since he was being boosted by Cresent Tsukuyomi and 31000 should she had kept to the all 3 crits to tom meaning the g-guard wouldn't have been enough.
4. And that is the next problem. Tokoha is at 4 damage. Why would you not split the crits? Misaki at least give one crit to Euryale and have her hit over 21000 or 26000 exactly if she had actually went with Sussano there was no way she could have guarded it even with the g-guards.
5. Final misplay of the game and the real cause of the game in the first place Misaki attacks vanguard instead of the obvious target that was now in the front row thanks to the g-guard aka Katrina. Could of stopped the entire push from Tokoha turn and survived to finished her with Wakahirume.

I have no hopes for the rest of these fights. I hope they are not bad misplays like this one was. Ether way Season 2 of VG-G can now no longer be better then season 1 of VG-G it lost that right in a instant. It's really sad because this could have been the perfect fight for the passing the torch and it would have been done right but they messed up big time. Though I have to admit they showcased Verano really well. It's just not worth what I had to experience right before that.

Edit: BTW G-Guards are a nice idea and it was exciting to see it. Just the turn ruined it for me.

This week was 20x better then last weeks episode if you put the sack aside. Which was very easy considering last weeks trainwreck of a episode. It was a proper passing the torch and Shion actually earned that win.

True. Unlike Misaki who was forced into abandoning her usual style for plot,  Kai played normally with Shion's bravery making the difference. Heck if Kai didn't get those 2 Heals, it woulda been a wrap on Altomile Ride.

And the final 2 parts of the Kamui episodes was better then everything I've seen Kamui do in this entire series thus far. He finally got his proper due. He got good growth as a character. Thank you bushiroad. Also Shion punching Shouma was absolutely priceless making want to see Shion vs Shouma 3 even more. Personally I think it was so close to beating season 1 of the original series but we went through too many trigger heavy games and mistakes to get to this point and one of the biggest 3 fights of the season was a throw away match makes it's just impossible to say this season is better then g-season 1.

Final episode was far better then originally expected.

Opinion Verdict in Spoilers
You have been warned its all a Opinion:

Spoiler
I'm counting G-Season 2 and 3 as one season. I don't get why they are considered different at all by Bushi not like it matters since they are in the right places atm even accounting that. Combined this was a fairly ok season outside of the ending to season 2 final fight with Misaki and Tokuha that was really really really bad. I'm still not over it at all. BUT I still enjoyed these two seasons far more then Original Season 2 and Season 4 even accounting question ending episodes in season 3 that felt rushed. Am and Luna (best two characters in G period) as well as Shouma, Saya, Lisa, Remy, Emi (for the very small ammount of time the last 4 showed up for) and I'll admit it I didn't like the change at first but in the end it worked great for him after all Shion are the saving graces of these 2 seasons. But After all that I still can't justify it as better then season 3.

Verdict:
G-Season 1 > Original Season 1 > Original Season 3  > G-Season 2+G Season 3 (Counted as one Season) > Original Season 2 > Original Season 4
