THAT POST ABOUT GX BEING INNOCENT HAS 21 NOTES AND THE RESPONSES ARE SCARING ME

Whoops! That one’s my fault, for reblogging the post and getting the train of replies going! XD

One of the best aspects of having been in the GX fandom for years is watching new people getting into the show, thinking it’s one thing (cutesy, stereotypical high-school shounen anime) and halfway through its run, realizing they’re dealing with something else entirely (a merciless deconstruction of common anime tropes such as ~nakama~ and ~kizuna~ being enough to save the day when one has fucked up epically and a very good interpretation of what would actually happen when you put the fate of everyone on the shoulders of a seventeen year-old boy).

I’ll give you the advice I give everyone else — watch the seasons in order, starting from Season 1. No peeking ahead, no skipping. GX’s shtick is that it relies on you getting fiercely attached to this adorable cast of GIANT DORKS…. before putting them through utter hell, in all meanings of the word. One of them will be cauterized down to the very bone and he’ll never be as he was at the start of the series, because one doesn’t just go ‘I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds’ and come out of that unchanged or without serious traumas to deal with for the rest of one’s life.

But yes, all of this rambling says you should definitely watch GX. It’s horribly, cringe-worthy silly at points (talking monkey anyone?) and at others it starts meandering and dropping plot threads left and right, but when it actually decides to get down to business, it has that sort of fierce, wild charm that makes you talk about it long after it’s over.

Does anyone know where I can watch yugioh gx subbed?

Here you go.

Thanks! :D

• #i heard seasons 3 and 4 were really creepy and i wanted to see
• #but i also feel like i should start from the beginning so i understand it better
• #nah imma start at season 3

No. no. no, no. Please don’t do that. With sugar and a cherry on top?

The thing with GX is that all of the heartbreaking things that happen in Season 3 completely lose their impact without the the frame provided by the first two seasons. The show basically thrives on making the viewer like these ridiculous, dorky teenagers… and then breaking them mercilessly on-screen and off-screen.

This is doubly true for the protagonist. Judai’s character development in Season 3 hinges on his failings and shortcomings in the previous seasons, on everything coming to bite him in the ass all at once.

And now I shall write an essay on how Pharaoh is the best character of the entire franchise and how he was terribly censured by 4kids and the implications on his sexuality
