Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh Talkbacks For Week of 7/19/03 (Spoilers)

[DianaGohan]

Well since azuril said if he didn't do it by 11:00 a.m. it'd be up for grabs. And it's past 11:00, so it's up for grabs. Anyway, here's the Guide For Today.

8:30: Yu-gi-oh: Keith's Macinathon, Part 2 (Repeat)
10:00: Pokemon: The Perfect Match (Repeat)
11:00: Yu-gi-oh: Friends Till' The End, Part 4 (New).

So come here and Talkback.

I said 12:00P.M!!! and i forgot about it.

Yugioh just started

[DianaGohan]

Hmmm, sorry about that. But you know, you really should have these talkbacks BEFORE the episode start, so people won't forget to actually watch the episode. So having them at 12:00 really won't help anyone who misseds them. How about this: If There's a New Pokemon Episode, the talkback should be made before 10:00 a.m, or Whenever the New Pokemon episode airs. Same goes for Yu-Gi-Oh. Remember, a talkback isn't just a thread to talk about the episode, it's also a remainder for people to watch the episode so they can talk about it in the first place.

It Takes More Then A Meteor Of Destruction To End The Yu-Gi-Oh Episode Review of "Friends Till' The End, Part 4".

I hope that this will make people realize that the Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Series is more then just about promoting the card game, it's also about plot and character relations, and today was about the strength of friendship. While I normally disapprove of flashback's, seeing Joey relive his moments in Duelist Kindgom and Battle City was a great to see him coming through in the end, as well as Yugi making The Meteor hit him and save Joey, and Joey diving in to try and save Yugi while Serenity dives in and saved her brother. Also intresting were the way Kailba knocked that crate out of Tea's way and took down the rare hunter and Marik's loss. Not any real stragey batttling here, but this episode was all about heart, and no matter how dumbed down the dub may be, it still shined through. A very deserving A+.

Some people (no offense, Diana) may have enjoyed the strength of friendship thing, but having had the entire concept shoved down my throat during the island tourney made this episode leave a bit of a sour taste and feel awfully redundant. The episode itself would have been just fine, had it not been for that. I give it a B.

Why, oh WHY is Kids' WB! putting repeats of Pokémon on Saturday!? Every single Pokémon fan just wants Ash to hurry up the Championships and get into Hoenn, and WB! screws us over again.

As for YGO, Serenity made the episode for me. Seeing Joey break free and all that was touching, but it was Serenity that cemented the episode. Unfortunately, Joey's Tarzan-like yell and Kaiba's internal "geek/dweeb" monolouge kinda ruined the emotions.

I can see you're point on the friendship angle, Mackenzie. I probably wasn't bothered by it because I usually ignore the Duelist Kingdom repeats of Yu-Gi-Oh since at least a few months ago. Besides, I can give the Friendship angle more of a break since it seems to be one of the few emotions they actually allow on the show.

Yu Gi Oh episode is sucks

[StrangerAtaru]

OK, so where is the new episode of Pokemon? What, no new episode because of some Kids WB promotion? Well, sure it is "Viewer's Choice" and I hadn't seen "The Perfect Match" in a while but....

(watches preview for next week's Hoenn ep. in Japan....) KWB really, really likes Johto, don't they?
