Me before Arc V:
Woah look, that Yuya guy looks cool. I might just watch this one.
Me after the first episode:
Haha! Nice! These characters are pretty cool. I will watch this one
Me about 20 episodes in:
Woah, this anime is really cool. I never really expected any of this :o
Me 38 episodes in:
ALL OF THE HYPE
ALL OF THE TEARS
ALL OF THE FANDOMMe now:
(Dying in hype and agony of waiting for new episodes)
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s is a badly written mess that has many plot inconsistencies and was a terrible victim of executive meddling.
And yet it’s my favourite anime of all time.
