am i the only one who is not impressed by the fillers in yknow what

i think my biggest critique is that there is so much tsukkomi humour in ygos*vens to the point where all the characters don't... have a personality

and by that i mean their personality falls flat bc all it is is every stereotype ever

also we're like what? 15 eps in and

nothing??? is going on?????

you would've expected goha would've done something by now since they pretty much know??? its yuuga???

but then s*vens is like

UWU WOMIN DOES COOKING !!! SO KYOOT!!!

yeah thats cute but where are the villains sir

unless you're telling me that the kirishima fam are the villains for s1 but i heard s1 is already ending or something and i'm kinda here like

uh. villains? plot? where?????????

i'm so so rry but literally everyone seems to like this show and i'm trying my best to give it a

fair chance???? and so far i'm just
suffering tm

and its not bc im a 'salty vrains fan'

like genuinely. here is my constructive criticism of how they could've better approached rush duels better:

1. So from what I can gather, they're trying to gain the empathy of kids by telling them 'standard ygo duels are so hard and can be boring, we understand' and therefor they present us with 'rush duels'

I'm pretty sure Yuuga explains this verbally himself which is why he goes

through all that hard work to install rush duels.

But here's my issue: They never ever /show/ WHY standard duels suck. They just shove rush duels into your face assuming you already know how standard rules work.

And sure, they explain standard duels vs rush duels VERBALLY

But they never have a proper standard duel that shows WHY rush duels are 'better' or 'more fun'.

Like even the guy from the newspaper club was basically a representation of all the ppl in the ygo community that were all 'rush duels suck'

YET HE WENT WITH RUSH DUEL RULES?

If they showed Yuuga getting his ass kicked by standard duels - like, idk, he gets OTKed or something,

then him making rush duels and putting it out there would've been SO much more impactful

but instead they shove rush duels from ep 1 and that's kinda DUMB imo bc if you showed older fans why standard duels aren't fun anymore you could've convinced them to shift to Rush Duels but noPE OKAY

And then you know, we are given cookie cutter stereotypes of every shounen anime protag in japan

i'm just upset that Gakuto is *gestures*

He deserves better than just being that responsible class president character that gets dragged around by the main cast stereotype

Rook is probably the most interesting character and that's only bc of my lack of chuunibyou characters

but like jesus christ the tsukkomis, if only they can tone down on them because

the /cycle/ of them ruins the characters

maybe it's the kind of tone they're going for and

this time ygo won't be as dark as we usually anticipate it so be but

*sighs*

i'm going to wait until maybe half of it is out and then binge it because so far nothing is happening

i should've limited this thread bc i know s*vens whiteknights will probably kick my ass but fkdvgdfg

pls just don't

comment

just mute/block and move on ty

i just needed to vent this out somewhere and if you like the show, good for you !!! i'm v happy for you!
