Hello everyone =) Hope you’re doing well? Anything you want to share about your writing? Your drawing? Maybe something you’ve read since the last round-up? Any plan for this weekend?
(For Federation Science, I’ll post my answers below with my mastodon account ^^)
That’s a fic about the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, right? I was a big fan, it’s the first manga I bought in its entirety ♥ (I watched the anime that aired on TV, which means only card games and, of course, at least one missing arc because airing things in order is below TV, it’s in my “one day” projects to find it and watch what I missed lol). The other Yu-Gi-Oh! … things? series? seasons? how do you even call the GX and co? anyway, I didn’t follow these at all except a tiny bit of Zexal because a friend is a fan so I heard of it.
Indeed it is! I love the manga. I have a soft spot for parts of the anime as well, as that is how I was introduced to it. I even watched the Toei anime a few years back which was… sure something. XD But both anime are of a different sort from the manga. I occasionally acknowledge things from the anime, but my fic is my twist on the manga. I did not agree with certain changes or additions the anime made to “explain things”.
I’ve only watched the GX series after myself. I love GX. It is something special. Even if I can’t believe in a world where Kaiba would make a school for card games. (I think it is separated by the different series, and then each series has X number of seasons.) But Judai is his own protagonist and despite the storytelling pitfalls, there is lots of fun to be had!
Even if I might have fastforwarded through the duels. The duels don’t interest me most of the time. Weird how I’m into YGO when I’m not as into the card game.
To be honest the card game is clearly not what’s of interest to me either ^^ I love how angsty some characters are… x’) Sometimes I’m really predictable… ='D
