Remember when Yu-Gi-Oh used to be a popular and respected franchise, what happened?

>>281821508 (OP)
Kazuki died and Konami stoped trying.

>>281821508 (OP)
VRAINS happened and killed any discussion for good. It was so boring there was nothing to talk about.

Arc-V until the end was pure joy and wild ride.

Nothing lasts forever.

if only it was well written

Yugioh is gone. It’ll soon become the anime equivalent of F-Zero or Darkstalkers and sink into irrelevancy, with the external media keeping it on life support. People will beg for more Yugioh anime, but Konami will just keep churning out referenceslop and shitty legacy support for the next 20 years. In their eyes, there is no longer need for a new Yugioh anime to ever exist.

i love this little prick

Crazy how once, one of the biggest franchises in the world rivaling Pokemon, is now forgotten, most people have never seen an episode or even know what Yu-Gi-Oh is anymore. I've been following the franchise since the OG and saw it in real time, all the ups and downs... I feel old.

It was meant to be. Once the TCG eventually crashes and burns in the next year or two, Yugioh will truly be dead.
Good riddance. May Yugioh spend the rest of time among dead HobbyAni like Medarot and B-Daman.

Are you okay? people never treated the yugioh anime or manga as super high ranking or anything. Its popularity was mostly bolstered up by the card game. We know this shit from polls of most favored manga and sales.

A lot of times it doesn't even break into the top 100.

Yu-Gi-Oh was meant to promote a TCG from its inception. Manga sales did not matter.

>>281822516
are things really so bad at the TCG front? I thought it was doing fine, it has a huge enough following that will keep it alive for another 20 years.

>>281822631
Very much yes. Yugioh is finally dying.

>>281822124
Konami doesn't control the yugioh anime. that's more up to shueisha and tv tokyo as producers to contract studios to make more of it. With shueisha's priorities being on newer properties and demand for animation studios being sky high it's not exactly surprising things are like this now. Especially since Kaz isn't there to pressure them to promote the franchise.
