The final fight gave me a headache.  I know exactly how Rabbidluigi feels when he talks about Skyward Sword and its handholding, by watching this entire seasons fights.  The cardfights have become the weakest aspect of the series.  Because the anime staff never goes into detail about the fight, they have to have the characters explain what's going on, but their dialogue consists of nothing substantial, telling the audience useless crap and reiterating things that go without saying.  I am so disheartened that it's come to this.  I'm not saying adding more slice of life elements was a bad move, as long as it's executed well, and doesn't sacrifice the show's main aspect. 

 

I'm not even upset that Chrono won due to sacking.  It still shows that Ibuki is still the better fighter.  Much like how even after Aichi won against Ren, he still wasn't better than him, because he lost his other two cardfights, showing still needs growth.  In addition, it sucks they never showed Aichi surpassing Ren, before closing his story, but I digress.  It's just how this fight was handled.  Showing Chrono using rear-guard units in a way that is not original in the slightest to those who watched the previous seasons, yet the peanut gallery gapes at it as if it's so amazing.  Silver-lining, the final move did not involve a stride.

Youtube doesn't work for me though. I guess it's region locked.

 

Is it working for you?

Yeah, but what's that one video on that playlist all about? Can't see it because it's set to private.

I'm guessing it's just padding in order to create the playlist.

So many cameos that made me thrilled today, especially Kai, Misaki, Aichi, Emi, Leon, and Ren. >.< Chris becomes ikemen. >.<

 

Chrono taught Luna how to cardfight and, again, it's not satisfying enough. Imo, Luna went to Card Capital 2 for some reason, pretending to be a beginner.

All I could say during opening the OP was "am I still watching Cardfight?".  Also, it looks like Chrono and the others will not use different Vanguards this season as I feared.

 

Wow, their teacher is the complete opposite of Mark-sensei.  I was just reminded of that, and like last season, this will be the last we see of him for the current season.  Shows how much effort the current staff is putting into the series writing-wise.

 

The teaching fight made me cringe.  The explanations treat the audience like idiots.  And instead of Luna learning for herself, Chrono and later Shion and Tokoha feel the need to give her advice, when it's really telling her what moves to make.  I would be so annoyed by that if I was her.  Also, despite all the unnecessary explaining or rather because of it, the fight ends in the most generalized way possible!  Man, it took me so long to get through this episode T_T.  In addition, they play the imagination angle differently than the previous series.  I mean come on, Aichi and the others did not feel shock waves no matter how many times they played, unless Psyquolia was involved.  As many fear, it's looking like Asia Circuit all over again.  Though IMO, Asia Circuit wasn't really all that bad, average at best.  This season though, I'll continue to hold out and see.

 

One good thing is it looks like Gear Chronicle has been circulated to the average player now.  Also, the cameos.  Looks like both Miwa and Izaki work at Card Capitol, at least part time.  Why does Misaki look older than everyone else?  Oh, hey, it's Chris.  My has he changed.

 

Also, generation master... Must... refuse... urge... to make...Pokemon joke!

If Aichi who lives in US with his dad is attending Yale, then Emi will also... I know why Kamui is desperately saving his money.
