Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ	As a kid i used to be really into yugioh, i remember i always got home from school and watched the latest episode of GX. Lately i've been re-watching some of the shows i liked as a kid and i was wondering if ya'll thing GX is worth a second go. I'm not sure if it's the whole nostalgia factor kicking in or what, so what do you guys think?

The 3rd and 4th seasons I've heard bad things about, and the 4th one isn't dubbed in English either because the dubbers moved onto 5D's. Lol. The only problem with GX, in my opinion, is the main protagonist, Jaden Yuki. He's Yugi x100. I don't recall him EVER losing, and he ALWAYS pulls some dumb combo out of his ***. Hell, he defeated Uria, Hamon, and Raviel like they were bitches, and he beat The Winged Dragon of Ra like nothing (but I blame that on the writers since they made Ra look weak as **, especially by making it cry*). There's just no excuse for that kind of plot hax. Wait, he did lose once against Kaibaman (so basically Kaiba), but barely. Anyway, yeah, watch it. It's still nostalgic and entertaining, but the constant Jaden plot hax is baffling.

The show is nice and shouldn't be compared to first in which the plot had something to do with Ancient Egypt. If you look at it like that it'll be a blast of fun.

But yeah, it's heavily impractical. I can't imagine someone pitching the idea to a potential investor about building a school to teach kids how to play a children's card game as a profession.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Haven't read any yet	I JUST HATED JADEN FOR WINNING ALL THE TIME. Luckily, he's turned evil in season 4 I believe, so it's nice to see him being defeated for once. My favourite character is that dorky blue-haired boy with the glasses; what's his name again? I wish they made him face/beat evil Jacen, but I'm glad he hadn't been turned evil as well and played an important role in Jaden's recovery.

Cyber Dragons were awesome. I made a few CyDra decks because of that. Zane was awesome until he went all emo; then he just got annoying and cliche IMO. Alexis, well, I always regarded her as the big-boobed Mai Valentine replacement, though she was interesting in her own right.

Posts: 5,387 Group: Suspended Member #7,577 Joined: April 27, 2012 What Browser do you use? Chrome Favourite Manga Fullmetal Alchemist	Due to garbage 4 Kids dubbing, I never got to see the end of GX. I think I'll get around to it now. There's a lot that just went weird. I think 4 Kids skipped an entire arc or various episodes. Ugh. (That's why I liked Alexis though ) Edited by GridZero, Jul 30 2012, 10:24 PM.

The guy who was the dormmaster for the slyfers was pretty cool. Alexis being a replacement for Mai is actual sounding total true. Although she always looked like a female version of Joey.

Mainly because I couldn't stand Jaden's talk about how awesome dueling is and about how they all are great. Jeez the guy would never talk about anything else but when he wasn't doing that he could be a great leader and duelist. I appreciated that much of him.

Yeah, there's no way Jaden would've won that. Yugi loopholed his way into permanently keeping Slifer on the field after Special Summoning him, and the God Cards are way OP in the anime.
