not liking it so far, but nothing's really happened so I can't really make a judgment on the plot...as far as the characters, I'm not liking them. Yuma sucks. Well, it's not that he sucks, it's just that I hate him. I really liked how 5D's had a new ass-kicking guy punching people out as the main character, as opposed to a little kid who's still in school in the first two. We're now back to a little kid, and he's the youngest kid yet. And he's in school. So, where's the plot? The green haired girl just looks like a typical Mary Sue/another Tea, and Yuma's fat friend is just annoying. The long haired kid he duels is just a wannabe kid version of Kaiba. The first duel was incredibly boring but that's to be expected, the series is just starting and it needs to ease into the more complicated stuff. But seriously, I miss 5D's already :/ (I can tell I'm going to love Exceeds in gameplay though)
1) Small loser boy as main protagonist. 2) Carries an artifact leftover from his archaeologist family. 3) Cocky rival who thinks he's hot s***. 4) Cocky hot s***'s best card is a dragon. 5) Ancient artifact reveals hidden power. This seems all too familiar...
Not gonna bother with this like I didn't with 5D's. 5D's had arguably some of the best characters of the entire series but it ruined the game (And ****ing MOTORCYCLES? REALLY?). GX had potential to be awesome, but kind of failed (Especially with 4kids skipping a whole season). The original ran forever and should have really went duelist kingdom, battle city, millennium world. The new one looks ****ing stupid and will probably ruin the game even more and suck even more penis. Also the characters all look like beyblade rejects.
It gets even worse, the artifact contains an entity that helps the protagonist duel, and the protagonist helps it regain its lost memories. :/ But I'm willing to forgive that if it gets a good enough plot. I'm going to watch probably the first 20 or so episodes and if it doesn't go anywhere I'm out. 5D's was my favorite series. It had amazing characters, and I don't think it ruined the game. In fact as an actual Yugioh player I LOVE synchros, and I'm sure I'm going to love Exceeds too. I think they pulled the motorcycles off really nicely. They aren't overdone or milked at all, there's like 1 motorcycle duel to every 3 regular duels (Except for the tournament arc of course)
Keep in mind, folks, when he says this he means that the characters can be mistaken for the actual Beyblades. Seriously, not even Yugi's hair was that f***ed up-looking.
I wonder what 4kids is going to do with series. Five bucks says they're going to make Yuma sound like Blackstar.
