I'm joined by slifertheskydragon. We discuss the "fandom" aspects of the franchise, including fanart and cosplay. We tangent into some general discussion about the anime as well.

We also discuss the lack of GX characters in the scripted duels that are put on at YCSes. Between taping and release, said issue has been rectified, but not with the characters we speculated on.

I'm joined by Joenen. After a brief interview, we discuss cross promotion in Yu-Gi-Oh!, particularly as it pertains to Duel Links.Some of this conversation is now outdated, with some recent changes to Duel Links. Regardless, I think its a still a good primer on the app for those that haven't played it. We later move into related things - such as TRANSCEND GAME and VRAINS itself. Those three things actually tie together.

Cheesedude is joined Siliva and we discuss various Yu-Gi-Oh! animation quirks and possible reasons behind them. Discussion includes examples from every YGO anime and all three films.

This week we are joined by Lance99 and MorningMoon in a discussion covering the first three episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. Impressions, subtext, characterization and memes abound!

After a bit of news, guest Decchan helps to unpack some of the intriticies behind how translation works and how difficult getting a name "correct" can actually be. We also talk VRAINs a bit more than we expected.

This is a retrospective of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, featuring Cheesedude and our podcast's first two guests – MorningMoon and Lance99.

Spoilers abound, as well as memes. This is a long one, nearly three hours (which will not be the new standard, to be clear).

Whether you loved or hated ARC-V, there should be something here for you. If you're not an anime fan, this probably isn't the episode for you.
