Quote from: Devour on October 04, 2014, 05:03:03 AMSo basically, my "new-character hypothesis" was correct. How do I feel about this, I don't even..I'm tremendously bothered by the look of the new protagonists. All I see isa Takuto-Leon love child, some Buddyfight/YGO hair guy and Yuma's chick from Zexal. God, can't you give Ren one season. Jokes aside, the Stride mechanic isn't far off from what I expected (since there was no way we'd get more triggers, bleh), and the G-Assist mechanic is a gradelock prevention mechanic, that I'm sure of. However, Gear Chronicle? Why didn't you just name the 5th season "Cardfiht!! Vanguard Totally-not-Zexal-wannabe"? I'm not a fan of the characters, which is pretty much obvious by now, but the card art I've seen for S5 is amazing, at least. The TD idea isn't bad either, since, this was originally a cheap alternative to YGO for a lot of players, and now we're getting back to that by giving us Sentinels. The question that bothers me is: If we're getting Sentinels and 2 copies of the cover card, with G-units being present in the BT's, what else are we getting here that's gonna be mindblowingly expensive and hard to get?I can just pray to the based, uh, Messiah (?) that this doesn't turn out to be a Buddy-xal.Hopefully, this doesnt mean the turn down of the game. I doesn't sense any interesting in the new protagonists. They should keep the old characters' art. More mature and cooler. Gaillard n ibuki was good. but not these three.

How about, we like, wait until the season actually has had a few episodesbefore we, I don't know, judge it??Like???What is with people and bashing something before it's even released. I don't get it.
Jesus fuck, no offense, but that's a dumb reason. This is the same problem with people hating ZeXalor hating GXor hating 5D'sPeople do this all the time, and they're almost always fucking wrong.Wait for the season to start.Wait for it to get a few episodes in.Give. It. Time.Don't Judge until we've truly seen what it's going to be likeWe have a new head director, who just so happens to be the same person who created some of the best parts of Season One.Remember episode 23, when Ren first showed up? That was her.Remember the first full fight between Kai and Ren, with the End's reveal and PBO's right after? Also her.Remember Misaki's triumph over Asaka and the birth of Tsukuyomi's card stack? This was her as well.Our new director looks promising. We've thrown out the old worn cast for the most part and introduced a new one, which has promise. A new clan and a new skill, things are looking up. I wouldn't be surprised if, for the first time since this anime started, we had a season better than season one.Give it a chance before you decide to bash it.
The only thing I shall say upon this, is that I hope that the new RP's aren't going to be Seekers, because if it's a new archetype, that means there'll be new archetypes (eventually) everywhere else, which I'd be happy to see. Also, wouldn't the above conversation/debate fit better in an anime discussion instead of a discussion about trial decks?
I get your point but people are allowed to have bad first impressions, promising to you doesn't mean promising to everyone. And most people are giving it a chance, and no one is bashing anything.

And most people are giving it a chance, and no one is bashing anything.No. No they are not. I don't know what you mean by "most people" and "no one is bashing anything" but I've already seen plenty of hate for both the character designs, the lack of Aichi or Kai being the main character, and general bad assumptions about the new season.Bad first impressions are fine if they have a good basis. But when we haven't so much as seen one episode of the new season, there's no basis to go off of. If you make your first impression solely off of the appearance of the new characters or lack of old ones, you're going to be blind to how good the show actually is.Being 'prepared for the worst' isn't how you come to like a show. It's how you ruin your ability to like one before it even begins.
I think the design for this season is a little weird and it doesn't really match the one we had so far,
First point: You can make an impression on a character based on their appearance, but doing so for an anime is like judging a bookstore based on the appearance of the people that shop there. "Normal" or not it's stupid. Have you seriously never heard of "Don't judge a book by it's cover"? It's a pretty common saying that rings true for more than books.Second point: No. I have never hated an anime at first then found out I liked it. Because I don't judge something until I've seen a good portion of it. If after around 10 or so episodes, I determine an anime sucks, I stop watching it. Because at that point it's failed to catch any of my attention and I no longer care. I will always give a good chance to an anime before judging it, however.Third point: Actually, it does. Even if it doesn't seem like it, having a negative opinion of something before you try vastly increases the likelihood that you won't enjoy it, even if you would have otherwise. That's because your mind already holds something in a negative light, and you're more likely to stick with your preconceptions than not.Fourth point: This is more of me being asinine, but the plural of "Anime" is "Anime". "Animes" is not a word.Final point: The looks of the anime aren't what is in question here. We don't know what season 5 will look like, we only know about the way the characters look and what clans they play. So there really isn't anything we can form a good judgment of the show with. Your first impression is from the first episode. That's how you start forming a judgment.

1:What i'm trying to say is that the cover is a important part of the book. It's the same thing you said about the mind, even tho you don't know or don't admit it the first impression you will have of something it's the first thing you see about it, and that is totally ok as long as you give the content a chance. Yes, i am judging the character design, but that doesn't mean i won't judge the content. It's the same thing to books or even to topics. Someone can make a good point but if it's not an organized topic you won't have a good first impression, a nice cover makes you feel that is likely that the book also has good content. Aesthetics matter.2: I didn't mean at the middle of the anime i meant when you see an anime description or something and you think "this probably sucks but i will give it a shot" And ends up liking it, or that anime that a friend recommended to you and you don't think you will enjoy it but you do.3:There's a whole different concept about lower expectations = more likelyhood of enjoying something. That is not a defined rule and it's very circunstantial.4:Nice to know.5:I was judging it aesthetically. I'm not in any way making a full judgement of the show before it's released. And as i said i'm actually looking forward to it.
