195 | all Yu-Gi-Oh, all the time
Wednesday, 28 November 2018 01:25 pm► This has been such a year for nostalgia canons for me. Most recently, I’ve fallen in love with Yu-Gi-Oh all over again. I started slowly rewatching the Duel Monsters anime back in September, and over the last few months my love for this series (and the card game) has been creeping back to me slowly, but surely. ♥ ( more beneath the cut )
I’m thinking about going back and watching the sub once I’m finished with this rewatch. Idk if I actually will, though—especially since I did promise my big brother that I’d get started on watching GX (his favorite YGO series, which I’ve only seen around the first ⅛ of before) once I finished with Duel Monsters.
► More recently, I also went back and started reading the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga! I just finished that up this past Tuesday. I did have prior familiarity with the manga—when we were kids, my big brother owned the first volume + a copy of Shounen Jump that had a few more chapters from a few volumes later (though still safely in the season 0 range—think the Zombire chapters, if you’re familiar with them), and back then I read and reread those over and over. But until now, I’d never read most of it, and though I knew quite a bit about the ending through osmosis, this was the first time that I’d ever actually seen it, in any medium. ( brief spoilers beneath the cut )
That being said, I am really looking forward to watching the Dark Sides of Dimensions movie. I’ve been rather thoroughly spoiled for it, and it sounds really promising. I’m not sure when I’ll manage watching it, though. I haven’t been able to find any (legal) streams yet… I might ask my family for a copy of it for Christmas and settle things that way.
► Also: perhaps unsurprisingly, all of the above also led to me installing Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links on Steam. I refuse to let it eat my life as much as it’s eaten my brother’s since he installed it on his computer earlier this year, but I am having fun with it, despite my initial “wtf” reaction to the three card limit for monster and spell/trap cards on the field.
