'R'nimated

[Ryusaki]

There has most likely been a topic on this from when Yu-Gi-Oh R first came out. Do you think they should make yu-Gi-Oh R an animé?

I think if they tried pretty hard they could make R pretty good. First of all, use the artists who did episodes 165, 183 and the God Slime episodes (They did loads more, I just can't remember them). They are easily the best and their art is the most manga-like. Second, use the 'classic' background music from Duel monsters: Fang Of Critias, Sealed Miracle, Sennen items etc. To make the episodes the right length they could either add more moves to a duel to make them longer (I'd prefer not though), put more than one duel in an episode or stretch out the episodes. Lastly, make an Overlap-beater theme tune.

[Roland]

*gasp* Can you really beat Overlap as a theme song? That take some pretty kick-ass artistic musicians to do that!

Anyway am all for "R" to be animised, I beleive it can be done and prehaps it will be (TV Tokyo has a consitencey to make any anime about anything including spin-offs) So yeah bring on "R" I'd love to see some of those monsters come to the OCG/TCG

[BEWDMaster]

if they do it will probly be a tv sepical or a movie

[Romancer]

That would be cool. Then there would be 2 Yu-Gi-Oh animes out at the same time in Japan. Add in the manga, the merchandising, and the video games. It'd be like the .Hack craze or Gundam Seed.

[MetallicPyreal]

Yes, it would make a good anime. I'd especially like to hear the voices of Tenma, the mutant dude, and Tilla Mook.

[Warakia]

Lets see....Yu-Gi-Oh! awesome manga, art was awesome, storyline was well intact, nice duels that weren't too long and weren't to short. Good.

Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, art varied from very good to just horrid, stroyline was cut from fillers that killed the main plolts values, duels were made way to long and decks were filled with lame combos, Bad...very bad.

I'd rather not see R end up the same way....just no.

And we have GX...however lame the series is becoming..... , note that R mentions Kaiba's screening for a duel academy in the episode with the junior duel circuit.

[Ryusaki]

Well instead of having wildly varying art like the original they would just have the best one. I think it would be pretty good.

And yes, an Overlap beater would be hard. Surely even YamiBakuraFan likes Overlap, it was more like the manga than the animé. Toothless Ra, flying Yuugi and co (Without yellow glow). Best of all the art in Overlap looked almost like it was done by Kazuki himself.

I will admit that the only pros to the anime IMO were the theme music.

Overlap, Warriors, Shuffle, Wild Drive....all had a distinct manga look to them.

I really wish most of the episodes had retained that look.

The memory arc was the worst, the art was hideous.

[Ryusaki]

The memory arc art wasn't all bad. people just misjudge it because at one point it had a lot of bad arts in a row. I just wish they hadn't rushed it so much.

The animé background music was awesome as well, some real scene setters there. I'm partial to Fang Of Critias, the ultimate comeback tune.

[Warakia]

I guess we can blame GX for the rush...

Ryusaki have you not seen the memory arc? from the get-go the art was bad and just degraded as the series moved toward it's climax...I was appauled by how rushed and stupid the undead lock cards looks and what the main strategy was changed to.

[Ryusaki]

199 was fine
200 was crap
201 was ok
202 was ok
203 was ok
204 was pretty good
205 was excellent
206 was ok
207 was pretty good
208 was pretty good
209 was fairly crap
210 was very good
211 was ok

I'll go further later, I might be wrong on some of them, i can't quite remember. Anyway the memory arc had some gems (But 218 was frankly terrible).

[MetallicPyreal]

220 had the worst art ever.

And sadly, most of the eps with Kisara did as well. :mad:

[Ryusaki]

And sadly, most of the eps with Kisara did as well.

If I remember rightly episode 205, Kisara's introduction episode, had some of the best art in the season. BTW 218's art is worse than 220's :cool: .

[MetallicPyreal]

I said most, but yes, luckily there were a few eps that had her drawn with good animation.

I haven't seen 218. I've seen 199-214, and then I saw 220 before the site I got the eps from went down. Never got to see the rest of the Ceremonial duel... :(

[Ryusaki]

218 is the completely random episode where Kaiba and Yuugi become Master Of Dragon Knight to attack Zork.

[Warakia]

218 is the completely random episode where Kaiba and Yuugi become Master Of Dragon Knight to attack Zork.

That sounds stupid....another random anime moment that focuses on DM and people turning into them for no apparent reason....why must this happen?

I won't even get into the Dia disks.....just ughhh.....

[OliverPhoenix]

Perhaps its there intention to make Yu-gi-oh R into an anime once the manga is finished?I mean the manga has quite a way to go so who knows...I'm sure people would love to see the original characters in the anime again.

Also if they did make a anime of Yu-gi-oh R that would mean a anime version of Tilla Mook *drools*.

Lets just wait and see how R unfolds first.....it's far from over yet, and Seto Kaiba has joined in on the fray so R will get more interesting.

I'm noticing many parallels between R and the Doma filler arc for the anime, and that bugs me...but pushing the anime from my Brain and just seeing that super hot Tenma with the cool melty eye is great.

[Lil' Yugi]

If R was animated then it wouldn't be until aster R was done, not enough chapters yet...

[Warakia]

Yeah not waiting to make an anime was the problem with DM and the reason we had so many crappy fillers. Lets not repeat this same mistake....but I still say with GX around R has no chance of hitting an anime deal.

[Horoko]

218 is the completely random episode where Kaiba and Yuugi become Master Of Dragon Knight to attack Zork.

And where Kaiba goes "Super Saiyan" to make Yuugi fuse in the first place. XD

Oh, and 217 and 223 are the best episodes in the entire arc. There were some others, but I completely forgot their numbers.

220's art was utterly attrocious, and the crew who did 194 and 200 should be dragged out into a field and shot....

[J-Head]

Speaking of Yu-Gi-Oh R, has Viz even hinted about bringing it to the U.S.? I guess it may be too early, but it seems real interesting (and I have no clue what it is about).

[Jimmy Kudo]

I care very much less about the art, as long as the story is fine.

Memory Arc certainly covered the plot-holes from the Manga though. Shaadi anyone?

[Ryusaki]

Oh, and 217 and 223 are the best episodes in the entire arc. There were some others, but I completely forgot their numbers.

205 can be added to that list, it's art was probably more detailed than both. The bad art in a lot of cases took some getting used to, but now I can watch the episodes without laughing at how sharp Kaiba's chin gets in 218.

223 ruled. Go Magnet Warriors!

[Lil' Yugi]

That wasn't a plot hole it was more of a loose end that never got tied up, something for fans to speculate and talk about after Yu-Gi-Oh has passed.

OMFG! WTF? That is just WRONG!

Se there's the point I'm making about how much Sharper the manga is then the anime which the art seems to stick out from episode to episode like a Needle in a haystack....

[Horoko]

Yes, yes, we get the pun....

It comes from the point that the manga is all drawn by one person. The anime is drawn by several different people and studios.

A few more "gems"

Funny thing is: Sieg was the best looking one out of this entire EPISODE....

[RareHunterX]

it would be nice to see 'R' animated...but how do you suppose they would fit it into the series? Doma took place right after Battle City
And R took place after BC and just before the Memory saga i think.

[DarkMorphmon]

Seeing the RA arc in an animation form will be cool. However, it is mostly Yami duels with a few Joey and a single Kabia duel thrown in. Then again, I want to see the Evil Gods in action. As well as seeing what the Knight fusion will be like.

[Ryusaki]

Funny thing is: Sieg was the best looking one out of this entire EPISODE....

The artists must have really liked Sieg. No matter how bad the art was on everyone else Seig's art was always fine.

Those chins......

[Horoko]

Indeed. Sieg ALWAYS looked the best.

On a more immature note...

Hey Set, Jay Leno called...he wants he chin back. HA!

[Ryusaki]

I wonder why in 224 (the last episode) they put more effort into drawing Malik than little Yuugi?

If they did make R an animé they better use the old 'monsters cut each other to bits' fighting rather than GX's 'every type of destruction causes explosions' fighting. Tribute to the doom made Featherman explode for God's sake!

[Horoko]

LMAO, and funny thing, he was dragged under the sand! XD

It's like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Everything is a'splody!

[Ryusaki]

Jaggyman slashes Spear Dragon=Electric explosion
Levia Dragon Daidaros uses effect=Explosion
Amazoness slashes Magnet warrior=Explosion

It's such a cheap way to cover up the violence. Remember when we first saw it in 223? Buster Blader exploding Sword!

I like the manga dissapating deaths. Smokefied!

Well, technically...dieing in a huge, fiery explosion would be MORE painful than just getting a limb or two cut off.

The 223 'splosion was cool. "Buster Blader! 'Splody Sword!!"

[Ryusaki]

Well, technically...dieing in a huge, fiery explosion would be MORE painful than just getting a limb or two cut off.

Maybe so, but that's obviously why they use the 'splosions-No disimberment. It's a much more humane way to show that the monster is now in much smaller pieces than when it woke up this morning.

It's getting pretty rediculous now though.

[Asuka Tenjoin]

I'm actually kind of glad Camilla never really attacked with her non-Genesis vampires... I love those cards, I would've cringed if like Vampire Lady went and bit someone and they blew up. :(

[Ryusaki]

I'll take some guesses:

Harpy Lady Rose whip=Explosion
Black magician Black Magic=Explosion
Melee Warrior Ultimater punch=Explosion
Kickman's kick=Explosion
Cyclone=Explosion

Asuka, that is probably what it would do :D

It would have been hilarious if the Carmulla clone bit Sho and he blew up!

As a fan of tokusatsu, I'm used to purty 'splosions. Hell, EVERYTHING that dies, dies in a big ol' fiery explosion.

Heh, also that would have been funny. A bite to the neck = Explosion

[Nobody]

No wonder you don't hate how the monsters get destroyed in GX...
I predict they will use the "DM Method" of destroying monsters once the series plot gets stronger in GX and they have a bigger budget...XD

[Ryusaki]

Let's face the deaths head on:

Manga-Mistification
DM-The shatter
GX-The Spontanious explosion

I wouldn't mind the explosions if they weren't so damn illogical.

On a more related note, how cool would Tenma's messes up eye be in an animé? Droopy droopy...

[MetallicPyreal]

Why is Tenma's eye all droopy like that anyway? Never read that chapter in English yet.

[Ryusaki]

I don't think it's been explained yet.

[Warakia]

I don't think it's been explained yet.
Tenma's melting eye had yet to be explained, but it has something to do with Pegasus's death and gives him the power to make soul cards....it should be interesting to see how he has obtained this cool melty magic.

Also R could never be animated because of DOMA, thank you for sucking once again DOMA! :rolleyes:

[Ryusaki]

Uhhhh, why not? They're not very similar.

[Asuka Tenjoin]

Uhhhh, why not? They're not very similar.

Because both Doma and YGO-R would fit into the same period of time in the anime. They both begin right as Battle City ends, don't they?

[Ryusaki]

I don't think they'd care. Look at all the stuff that happens after Battle City. We have Doma, GKGP and the movie. Might as well add R as a spin off series somewhere.

[Warakia]

I don't think they'd care. Look at all the stuff that happens after Battle City. We have Doma, GKGP and the movie. Might as well add R as a spin off series somewhere.

Yeah might as well make the series even more strung out and stupid...it's just not gonna happen.....

[Ryusaki]

They'll just say it was some.......time......warp.....thing from......something or other.

[Roland]

Ah yes the "it happened becuase it happens" explanation, well lets face it it'd make more sence then most other plot holes in the manga/anime franchise *cough*Shaadi*cough*

[Horoko]

Because both Doma and YGO-R would fit into the same period of time in the anime. They both begin right as Battle City ends, don't they?

They could just add it as a OVA or something. So it would not fit in the storyline anyway.

[myth buster]

I'd be content with them simply translating the manga, but anime would be good.

[Lord of Blue-Eyes]

Pegasus is dead in Yugioh R.
Pegasus shows up in the Doma Arc.

I want to see how they could explain this? I assume if it is animated it will be kind of like an alternate universe(AU) arc that does not run with the rest of the anime. The Yugioh Movie did this.

[cyber ape]

Overlap-beater? Wtf?

When I think Overlap, I think Kimeru. What's an Overlap-beater? :confused:

Yes, I think they could do it, though, Atemu already went to go live with the dead, and, we're already onto GX...

[Jimmy Kudo]

1) It doesn't have to be equal.

2) If it would be equal, remember OAV's don't follow the series.

[J-Head]

It seems to me as some of you are think a little to narrow when it comes to the timelines. I don't believe anyone would care if the YGO-R anime ran in a different timeline. Why? BECAUSE IT'S ANIME! If the timelines in animated shows and manga are forced to make sence, than the spirit of animation is dead.

[Horoko]

I'm forced to agree. R can easily be animated. It doesn't really have to be "squeezed in" anywhere.

[Roland]

"Overlap-beater theme tune."

If anyone can find a J-rock song that beats Overlap, then please post it up.

[Horoko]

I like Overlap, but anything JAM Project or Hironobu Kageyama by his lonesome touches turns to gold....
