Oh hi, Yusei. ^^;;

5Ds will indeed be coming to you sometime this month, even though it isn’t April anymore. Or 2008 either for that matter. XD

Looking forward to it! Btw prepare yourself for the dark atmosphere of GX season 3 and 4 but this time an entire series of it.

Lol, yeah, I’ve heard that it’s supposed to be a darker and grittier atmosphere overall which is why I’m not feeling particularly enthusiastic about starting it right now. I’m rather tired of darkness. ^^;;;

I just, skipped right to Zexal and came back to 5D’s later (uhh, during the Synchro arc of A5 b/c I wanted to catch those sweet 5D’s references lol). Zexal is it’s own continuity so you don’t need to worry about watching any of the previous things to understand it (and heck since you watched a5 already you’re already a step ahead in understanding XYZ summoning).

Zexal is, for the most part, considerably more light hearted in tone.

Though a fair warning, if you want subs for Zexal you’re going to need to find somewhere with fansubs cause, official ones do not exist for whatever reason. Not even on Crunchyroll, which has subs for everything else from DM to VRAINS (so it has 5D’s subs). It only has the dub of Zexal.

Weirdly enough, I actually do have Zexal subs on my computer up to episode 73 at least. I have no idea how many episodes are in the series total but I’ll have to look. Someone contacted me years ago back when I was still doing DM and told me where to get them. ^^;;;

And even though I’ve obviously broken the order for shows before, I at least want to try to stay in order when I can even if it doesn’t matter all that much. I’ll just watch some Sevens episodes and I’ll be alright. XD

There’s 146 episodes, so what you have covers the first season.

Zexal is also something of an anomaly in the ygo franchise that it’s second season (the remaining 73 episodes) actually got a new name, ‘Zexal II’.
