Reviews for Cardfight!! Vanguard (2018)

Okay, so it seems like I am the first one to write a review about this anime series. First let's talk about the story. Now I am not reading the manga of this anime and I know that this is the second version of the anime adaptation of this story. I have watched the first version of this and I can say that there are some changes in the story. Now I won't talk abt this further because it will turn into a spoiler. The only thing that I can say for the story is it is still good in a way that makes mewant to still watch it.

Now for the art. Now I can see that the animation quality has improved since the original cardfight vanguard series. I also liked how they used bold lines in some part of the characters. The new thing with the player switches out and goes in again when riding a new unit is also a good idea.

For the sound, I liked it when they make vanguard speaks "Yes, my vanguard" and other similar phrases. But I think it's too frequent and it has become a bit boring. A suggestion is they should only make the vanguards speak on important scenes to build up excitement with the watchers.

Now I have nothing to say a bit much about the characters because they are just the same with the original series. Hoping to see those overpowered characters later on in this story like the one in the original one.

All in all, I can say that I have enjoyed not only the story but also the community around it. I think I might have to read the manga to further my reviews about this anime.

I hope this review was helpful to you guys.

I was hoping that this reboot would finally let me like Vanguard pre D series… unfortunately no. Despite the fact that it compresses all four seasons of the original and Neon Messiah into 52 episodes, it doesn’t actually change the fundamental problem of the series… in that these characters are so god damn annoying and badly written that even from the very first episode, you know you’re in for a rough ride. Especially as various plot threads don’t make sense, like Kai knowingly betting a stolen card. But a fundamental problem with the Vanguard anime is that it takes the lore of the card gameway too seriously. They keep saying imagination is power… what the F does imagining your victory have to do with actually winning? Just once I want to not absolutely hate a pre D series Vanguard anime.

Keep in mind that this review is written based only on anime (I know that this version comes from the manga. After I finished watching the "original" story, I gave myself the opportunity to see the second version, which in my opinion is a little better "in some respects" than the first version. Talking about the history would not be something so remarkable since if you saw the first version you will quickly understand that it only goes with some notary changes but they are not a big deal. Regarding the characters, a very significant change is seen in the first place since the vast majority of characterswho had not had a participation or almost no participation do so here contributing more to the development of the story (case that did not happen in the first version) .

In general, if you have already seen the first version and you see this, it may not disappoint you since it does not have that annoying filler that characterizes the first version as well as they explain a little more in depth the past of some characters (not in a way perfect) so if you have free time you can watch it without problems and enjoy it without problems.

Amazing at advertising the card game. Ok story, but the characters are fun and very likable. The fights are faster than the original and have less pauses in the fights. There is always something going on without unnecessary scenes. The characters feel more alive and fun. The story was very amusing and the card fights at certain points made you feel tense, on the edge of your seat. I say they did pretty well when trying to promote the game, because I for sure bought some cards and thought about buying more cards when I watched the show. I felt like I wanted to become the bestat cardfighting.
