Oh hi, Yusei. ^^;;
5Ds will indeed be coming to you sometime this month, even though it isn’t April anymore. Or 2008 either for that matter. XD
Looking forward to it! Btw prepare yourself for the dark atmosphere of GX season 3 and 4 but this time an entire series of it.
Lol, yeah, I’ve heard that it’s supposed to be a darker and grittier atmosphere overall which is why I’m not feeling particularly enthusiastic about starting it right now. I’m rather tired of darkness. ^^;;;
I just, skipped right to Zexal and came back to 5D’s later (uhh, during the Synchro arc of A5 b/c I wanted to catch those sweet 5D’s references lol). Zexal is it’s own continuity so you don’t need to worry about watching any of the previous things to understand it (and heck since you watched a5 already you’re already a step ahead in understanding XYZ summoning).
Zexal is, for the most part, considerably more light hearted in tone.
Though a fair warning, if you want subs for Zexal you’re going to need to find somewhere with fansubs cause, official ones do not exist for whatever reason. Not even on Crunchyroll, which has subs for everything else from DM to VRAINS (so it has 5D’s subs). It only has the dub of Zexal.
Weirdly enough, I actually do have Zexal subs on my computer up to episode 73 at least. I have no idea how many episodes are in the series total but I’ll have to look. Someone contacted me years ago back when I was still doing DM and told me where to get them. ^^;;;
And even though I’ve obviously broken the order for shows before, I at least want to try to stay in order when I can even if it doesn’t matter all that much. I’ll just watch some Sevens episodes and I’ll be alright. XD
I’m not sure about the quality of the Zexal fansubs mainly because I remember multiple different fansub groups working on it during the series’ run. Some fangroups do a really solid job, while others have more questionable translations. I imagine that Crunchyroll will eventually sub the series, but it is strange that it hasn’t happened yet. As far as I know, there shouldn’t be any legal problems with subbing the series like there was with DM. Maybe they’re saving it for after they finally wrap up the DM subs before doing it. They’re up to episode two hundred the last time I checked and they’re probably not going to do anything with Sevens until it comes back from its hiatus, so they might as well get legal subs for all of the completed series available on their site.
Crunchyroll does have all of 5D’s subbed, but I don’t know if you want to rely on that or check out what fansubs are available.
Yeah, iirc GX_ST was the main group fansubbing ZeXal, and those might be the best out there. I’m actually surprised Crunchyroll hasn’t worked on ZeXal yet since iirc the first 29 episodes subbed by 4K are still up on their Hulu page or the YGO site… Maybe they’ll get to it once DM’s wrapped up in the next while, since Sevens is on hiatus for a bit lol.
With 5D’s, well… that turned into a bit of a clusterbomb. Horoko/TNKP’s fansubs are the best for 1-78, then GX_ST mainly took it from there, but there’s a huge stretch of Shin-Paku subs in there too which were, uh, pretty iffy in quality, before GX_ST ran away with it from about the 120s through the end of the series. Crunchyroll’s subs are serviceable, but they feel pretty bland and stiff to me. I think KissAnime has TnKP available for that stretch, and they may have GX_ST’s for the rest, but I’m not totally sure.

There’s probably not going to be any official Zexal subs anytime soon because of the legit battle 4Kids faced against TV...
ralseirose liked this Funny enough the series get more and more light hearted as it goes on. Around episode 10ish is when some more light...
