Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s
Masochists of the world, unite! Seriously, this was without a doubt the worst show of the new season. And without a surprise either. It’s one of these shows that are so bad that it becomes good again. And really, it was a very smart decision from the creators to make all the duels take place on motorbikes now. Everyone’s now wearing helmets, so they won’t burn your eyes with their outrageous hair-styles! If only the same could be said for the monster-design and motorbike-designs. Still, the cream of the crop in terms of badness was without a doubt the fight. It’s so badly written that it’d even give Zaizen Jotaro a run for its money.
Net Ghost Pipopa
While I most definitely won’t watch another episode of this, I can imagine how kids would love it. It’s great to see another kiddie-series that intends to do more than just get kids to buy overpriced toys. Net Ghost Pipopa basically tries to get the young ones a bit familiarized with the internet, by portraying it as a brightly coloured world that some lucky kids can enter. It’s nowhere explained why our male main character is one of those lucky ones, but series of this particular genre could have been much worse (look above). I wouldn’t recommend anyone above 15 to watch it, but if you’ve got a little sibling (and this thing ever gets subbed), you might want to consider showing this to the.
Monochrome Factor
This series has genre-issues! One moment it features a spunky girl confessing over the girl of her love, and yet all the male characters are bishies and two of them even end up kissing each other. In any case, this series isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just boring. It failed to catch my attention at all, and it’s given me no real interest to keep watching it. The fights are dull (monsters just get slashed and that’s it). I also feel that the only female voice-actress was trying way too hard. It’s still better than Hirano Aya’s performance in Zettai Karen Children, but I can’t seem to remember any line in which she didn’t scream.
Lol. I see yu-gi-oh has caught up with the 20th century 🙂 Well, I usually just watch it with my neighbor’s kids for kicks anyways.
lolz yugioh…
it was so bad that i believed that the joke subs i dled was real until i listened carefully… lolz at how the subs made it look like they are talking about how one guys hair was better than the other…
card battles and bikes… i wonder how much time it takes til there’ll be an accident due to that…
I think Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s was actually decent. The animation was above average and the card battle was pretty fast paced compared to previous seasons.
For a Yu-Gi-Oh! series, I think it is OK (at least better than GX and the original’s fillers arcs). You know it is a series made to sell merchandising, but it isn’t the worst thing this season (but knowing you, it may be according to your taste)
Yes….this IS the worst thing this season….it’s for masochist and 4 year olds
“This series has genre-issues!”
Well, not all series have to have just one genre – some like to go out of the tradition of having multiple genres – being in one genre makes the story 30% more predictable anyway, so it’s no fun
The original was the best, the others are lame !
