Granted, I never really followed the series that much, but then I see stuff like this:
Never thought the series with Ancient Egyptian laser beams would be the more reasonable out of all of them.

...I liked Zexel. Felt like a much more energetic series compared to some of the stuff before it.
The roller coaster tournament arc is the f***ing worst, though. Couldn’t follow 99% of it to save my life.

I was just watching a video lastnight that nicely summarizes what it has become I was ok with the emphasis on fusions in GX because it was still the same game 5D's introdouces syncrhos...okay fair enough we are pulling away from what the game was but still it is the same game Cue Pendulum summons...okay now this is becoming something totally f***ing different but I can still cope cue gawd damn link summoning...okay f*** this As far as the show goes after 5D's I just lost interest the characters did not look interesting to me and the mechanics were just fundemently an entirely different game. BY THE WAY TRICKSTARS4LIFE!!!!  |

I rank ZEXAL at the bottom, with ARC-V and it's confusing interdimensional travel and concepts just above.

I'm surprised it took them so long to come up with XYZ summons. I'd have come up with that concept before synchros (which are actually fun as hell, IMO).
I used to be into the card game BIG time, and I do have the digital game on PS4, but some of the decks and concepts are beyond me. I can't figure out Pendulum Summoning for the life of me, and I'm scared to even ask about Link Summoning.
When it turned into the level of speed game that it is now, I was out.

When it comes to link summoning I just look at wall of text and am reminded why I stopped at XYZ summoning because I aint got time to play a game where I am reading more than I am playing.  No thanks to the whole link summoning. |

Oh man, I remember parts of Zexel. It was fun in ridiculous ways.
The anime that's still on-going that surprises me is Beyblades.

I gave up dueling and watching the show with whichever one was after 5Ds. Synchros were fairly easy to work out to be honest, but then everything after that just looked like an arms race on how to make the game a headache.
I play Dawn of a New Era sometimes but I STILL have no idea how Link Summons work.

I honestly don't know who stopped caring first, the people that actually made the show, or the ones who dubbed it. |

Did... did they finally make an anime by channeling what people who don't watch anime think anime is?

It took my a while to figure out what syncros and XYZ were about. I didn't mind their existence because they made exact star values matter. What was the difference between a 1 star and a 4 star before then? There really wasnt one. Pendulums were confusing and apparently sped the game up way too much. Link summons are enough to turn into the "back in my day" old man.

There has been exactly one card that pissed me the hell off the first time I encountered it...and then for like the next 50 times.  4k beater cannot be targeted or destroyed by opponents card effects And does double piercing damage to any defence monster And it is SUPER easy to get out onto the field......and this has always been a Yugioh thing but from the XYZ onward formart it has gotten so bad ...if you do not go first majority of the time you may as well just surrender...because the game is built around FTK and OTK's. |

Oh my god, literally every player deck in the meta right now on Dawn Of A New Era that isn't a gimmicky OTK or FTK is just an excuse to get this card out. |
