Duel Masters Discussion

Neko Godot

Hey! Listen!
For now, let's discuss last week's episode, episode 60: Surprise.
I thought it was good, especially with the film school drop out being the new editor and always messing up.

That show just makes fun of itself. It just stole everything from Yu-Gi-Oh!.

That's true you can tell that it's trying to get it's rating up with American jokes like the 1 about Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Actually, that is what's called a parody script, where the writers absolutely refuse to take the story seriously and just throw random crap in-between the lines that are supposed to be there. You can't solely accredit parody scripts to 4Kids' ridiculous dubs; Haim Saban has been doing them since the early '90s (Samurai Pizza Cats).

No. They're not trying to use American Jokes to get ratings. They're trying to be funny. The funny thing is...I still kinda watch it.

I love Duel Masters.

The card game is confusing, and the show doesn't explain it that much. The animation isn't great, nor the story.

But it's funny and the myraid of pop-culture references makes it great though.

Wasn't Duel Masters made by Wizards of the Coast?

I remember Yu-Gi-Oh was basically created by the creator/company/whatever made it. It was like a derivation of Magic the Gathering but simpler (but got more complicated anyways because the franchise went quite well card-wise).

Well, I don't recall the other shows during the Toonami lineup that has such a parody script so sometimes the random things they say I actually found funny.

It's ... extremely weird. I don't get the plot for the most part.

I only remember the very basics: elements, cards played upsidedown are mana, there are shields, blockers, attackers, and I don't know. Then there are shield triggers, and every monster has some mana cost and some attack power that's X000. They're not overly explanative on the rules, however I do think they covered it.

I preferred the random things that aren't American based, like the show ending in five seconds or the fadeout is going to occur or asking why the camera is so close.

Somehow the complete randomness of it that it contains makes it interesting, because it's so much different, despite having so many similar components to different things.

So um what IS on the original if so many jokes were parody scripts?

Apparently on last week's episode I liked the highly massive delay about running away from the falling tower and asking why he could not move or get out of the wayand ended up getting injured.

No, Yu-Gi-Oh! was made by Kazuki Takahashi for the manga as Wizards and Dungeons, or something along those lines, and people inquired about it, so Bandai or Cardass, I forget who was first, made it into a bad cardgame, then Konami made what we have today.

Duel Masters(Or as Mimi Accurately calls it, Druel Masters) Is just a marketing gimic to get the Japanese public, and young people into MtG, the reason it's a parody script? To rip into YGO!, as Duel Masters was a prototype name of MtG and was modified to Duel Monsters for YGO...and Duel Masters is not a hard card game...just a pathetic card game compared to Poke'mon ex, Magic, VS and YGO

I'd say it is the worst show with the dumbest story line, pathetic video games, and lame card game. I mean who does that? They should take it out since it's almost as lame as that Bo-bo-bo show.

Bout it.

/Rant over

FYI I have played Duel Masters for a few months...
