Which Yu Gi Oh! sequel anime from the original era do you prefer, GX or 5Ds. It doesn't matter if you comparing the original Japanese or the English dub. Though both English dub don't finish the series.
I never seen much of GX, but 5Ds was great, I love the English dub opening theme, though the original Japanese version is so much better.

5Ds is my favorite Yu Gi Oh! period. It has the perfect balance of humor and darkness. Look at the last two completed Yu Gi Oh! anime, Vrains and Sevens. Vrains was so serious and dark it wasn't any fun, while Sevens is the complete opposite, it is too goofy.

I come from that Harry Potter generation that just loves stuff that's set in a school. GX all day for me.

5Ds is a legitemately "too good for what it is" anime until the end of the dark signers arc and then kinda meanders a bit until picking up by the end and having an awesome ending (although that is something YGO series tend to do well). Sucks they didn't do anything with Aki's character, but circumstances being what they were, it is what it is. English dub is a bit pants as it tries to keep some the spirit of the older series when it doesn't really fit, as the setting is more serious than before.
GX is fun but it only really shines as a story in the last few seasons (the Japan-only season being particularly good). Love how corny the english dub is though.
I'd say comparing the two... 5Ds in Japanese is the better one, followed by both GX versions (prefer the dub, but that last season in the Japanese version is really good) and 5Ds in English at the bottom.

5D's was definitely more interesting once you managed to get past the absurdity of duelling on motorcycles.

That is a fair take. I do think the 5Ds Japanese version is better than the dub, though I love the Hyper Drive song. The dubs back than really changed stuff. Off topic, it is amazing the latest dub of a Yu Gi Oh anime, the dub of Sevens is mostly true to the original, consider one character they don't change at all. Spoiler for the Sevens dub {Spoiler}{Spoiler} I thought for sure they would change Mimi from an adult that looks like a child, to an actual child and changing the relationship with her son to that of siblings. Though in her debut episode they did cut a bar scene. Anyway you say the original Japanese version of Yu Gi Oh 5Ds is better than the dub, where does the manga rank, I think that might be even better. |

Well because of this topic, I watched a couple of episodes of the Dark Seiners arc (episode 45 and 46 on Crunchyroll, subbed of course), and wow I forgot how great it was. It is hard to watch that, with the high stakes, the characters going through developments, and evil villain, and than watch an episode of Yu Gi Oh Sevens, hard to believe they are in the same franchise. It is night and day. 5Ds is incredible. Not saying older characters and high stakes automatically make it great, Vrains was one of the more darker series, and it was lackluster.
