Just Crouton Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Because season 3 is ending soon, and its finale is looking to be amazing, and we're apparently getting major changes in season 4. For the uninitiated, six reasons to watch CF!!V. [spoiler=#1] The characters are fun to watch What the bold text says. The show is really about the characters instead its story (which is pretty meh.) To go over the main cast. There's our hero, Aichi, a bully-magnet who starts playing CFV, and becomes a more assertive person as the show goes on There's the show's Kaiba, Kai, who Aichi idolizes despite Kai being a jackass and I hate him and I hope he really does *spoiler* after the *spoiler* There's Misaki, the female lead who strikes terror into the souls of men with her cold, threatening personality. There's Kamui, the loud, slightly obnoxious kid who can't get sayings right. There's Miwa, everybody's best friend Then, there's the star of the show... MORIKAWA, THE STRONGEST CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY OF ANIME. the guy who sucks at deckbuilding, but he gets all the best lines, and he later becomes a... ... Watch the first season. :ph34r: Oh, and that one guy with curly hair who is Morikawa's wingman. But, there are a lot of characters who show up now and then, mainly when it's time to sell new cards for their decks, but are amazing characters. [/spoiler] [spoiler=#2] Bromance. Bromance everywhere. Aichi x Kai (the main one) Aichi x Kamui (is the subject of a gay joke, and even once called a "bromance" in-show) Aichi x Ren AIchi x Naoki(?) Miwa x Kai Kai x Ren Yeah, Aichi gets around. [/spoiler] [spoiler=#3] The dub is substantially better than the Japanese version Bet you've never heard that said about any anime ever. Well, guess what? Bushiroad dubs the anime themselves. [/spoiler] [spoiler=#4] The protagonist loses games, a lot Aichi is new to the game at the beginning of the series, and obviously, makes a lot of mistakes. And, Aichi loses games (on-screen) as a result. Aichi loses a lot of games, including the ones that matter. [/spoiler] [spoiler=#5] Strong female lead Remember Tea and Kotori? Remember how useless they were? Pepperridge Farm remembers. So did Bushiroad evidently when they made Misaki a superior player to Aichi, and defeated him more than once in the show's run. Not only is she a major member of the team, she even has two starter decks based on her in the real life game. Also, this. Yes. That. [/spoiler] [spoiler=#6] The characters edit their decks often, and on-screen One of the highlights of the first season was seeing the characters frequently edit their decks and playtest. It's a thing real life card gamers do, which makes it a great way to sell new expansions. Every season, the main cast all run completely different decks (in AIchi's case, for silly story reasons.) In season 3, Aichi switches his boss three times off-screen, which liberates the viewer of the monotony of seeing the same boss over and over and to sell cards. [/spoiler] "But, GOD MACHISMO, king of the universe, where can I watch Cardfight!! Vanguard for free, and legally?" Well, drooling denizen of the internet. Bushiroad uploads dubbed episodes on their official Youtube channel. They're up to the early episodes of season 3, and upload two episodes bi-weekly. "BUT, I ONLY LIKE THINGS IN JAPANESE BECAUSE EVERYTHING THE JAPANESE DO AND SAY ARE DEEP AND MEANINGFUL!!! Desu." Uhhh... Crunchy- Hold on. *Runs 12 feet away* CRUNCHYROLL!!! For the initiated... [spoiler=Episode 162] OH MY GOD THE AICHI AND KAI BREAKUP!!! [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Uh, it's usually up in YT too. Anyway, Kai's still a douche. And that Ren moment is hillarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I like Mizaki's calm and strict voice much better than the Yugioh GX-like tone they gave her in that dub in your link honestly. Kamui DOES sound obnoxious in that dub doesn't it?..... Huh, I kinda feel bad about really shipping him with Emi now. Aichi's voice is just..... so different..... I'll stick with the sub thank you. And I pretty much have missed out on half of the Link Joker arc. Though I do admit the characters are really fun to watch, even more so than the story or even the game at times.

Maeriberii Haan Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Tbh, the dub is kind of bad, especially on S3.Also, the only true Emi ship is Emi x Tetsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm liking the looks of the Season 4 poster: Dem new characters. Better look at Aichi's new outfit: Synopsis: Several days after the mortal battle against Link Joker which embroils the whole world, the world has returned to peace. But Kai Toshiki faces a surprising situation. Sendou Aichi, the hero who saved the world from the invasion of Link Joker, has suddenly disappeared. In addition, everyone's memory about Aichi is lost...Almost all hints have been lost, and Kai starts to search Aichi with "Blaster Blade" and the deck of Royal Paladin, the only existing hint and the proof of their bonds. Kai is approached by fighters who call themselves "Quatre Knights". The four---Gaillard, Neve, Ratie and Sarah---are fighters with world-class power in vanguard fights. They control mysterious power and urge Kai to give up searching Aichi. What is their purpose...!? And what is their relationship with Aichi...!? Kai, with the new power "Legion" in his hand, fights to take Aichi back. Now, the war has begun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 They'll dive right into the serious world-saving section right off the bad this time it seems. Aichi seems implied to be the surprise enemy this time, because black outfit.... or leading those new characters in some sort of war or something no one else knows about. Duh, Kai; If you wanna look for Blaster Blade go see Daig-*shot* The part of Aichi disappearing and no one else remembering him except for Kai, really reminded me of the relationship Homura and Madoka have at the end of the series in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Except in this one, Madoka essentially becomes god... don't think Aichi goes that way in this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 So, season 4 is pretty much a rehash of season 2, and Kai has Welche's powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 So, season 4 is pretty much a rehash of season 2, and Kai has Welche's powers? But with main character Kai, so better. Also, is that Lala Sune? Newtype in CFV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 But with main character Kai, so better. Also, is that Lala Sune? Newtype in CFV! ______ I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the poster. Plot twist: Her boss is the Elmeth! :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Really liked today's episode. Will put my thought about it when I can be bothered. KaixAichi still best pairing it seems. with aichi as the one on top now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 That was a solid season finale. Way better than last season's... Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUzeZYVPMrE Kai/ Naoki bromance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 In that trailer, having Kai's expression being somewhat gentle as well as having gentle smile totally light up his "aura". in the end of the last episode, I really feel warm inside as he declared Aichi his best friend.

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Naoki is still the best bro it seems. Also, Alfred's so fabulous in that episode. His swag does exist it seems. [spoiler='Alfred's swag'] LIBERATE ZA SWAG![/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerion Brightflame Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Sorry the moment in the trailer at 10 seconds is just hilarious. I can't look at that moment without thinking they are a couple. It was... an alright series finale. Much better than the last one (But then again it was hard to do worse) The trailer for the next series looks good. Even if it is just season 4 over again, and that one of the characters looks like if Leon and Aichi had an evil love child. And the guy at the top looks like a Daigo I don't want to punch. I want to see some MiwaxMisaki next arc, rather than: EveryonexAichi. Since everyonexAichi almost gets boring. Or that it becomes EveryonexKai. But no, it should be good hopefully. Like season 3 was overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Isn't MisakixKourin the new true Misaki ship? Anyway, really liked how Kai looked friendly in the trailer, unlike his jerky persona before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 The one thing I enjoyed about today's episode was the fact the end of the fight was an homage to season 1. Blaster Blade deliverign the final blow to Dragonic Overlord (even though it was the Яe-Birth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Dammit phone... Anyway, I'm curious of what'll Misaki play now, as they said Misaki'll get her legion unit, but no OTT or Genesis in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 The new episode was interesting to say the least. I didn't realise the voice at the end of the episode was Kourin until I re-watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
