Now, I intend to become an online Caustic Critic and I'll say more about this when I do, but I have to say right now: Is Zexal the worst series ever? I won't answer that. I think it should be up to the viewer to decide whether it is or isn't and that should simply be your opinion and you shouldn't HATE someone just for having a different opinion. My opinion? I'm actually kind of iffy now on whether it's the worst or not. I will say this, it's definitely the weakest series at least. I loved 5Ds, it was the series I first started watching, and I also enjoyed the original Yu-Gi-Oh series too (well except for maybe Duelist Kingdom). So after finishing both of those I decided to give Zexal a try, even though I absolutely hated Xyz monsters and I knew the series would focus on them. My first impression? I heard Eli Jay's Yuma voice and turned the TV off. But what little I saw intrigued me a bit but not enough to make me want to watch it again. What did make me watch it again? Episodes 13 and 14. I love dragons so when I heard that The Rival this time a round was using a really awesome dragon card which is also a counter for Xyz Monsters I had to see this episode. Truth be told most of the episodes I watch are ones where Kite duels. I think Kite is the coolest character in the show, even when he got Neo Galaxy-Eyes and I still hated Xyzs I didn't lose any respect for him, he's awesome even when using that which I hate. Now about the series itself. It is a pretty standard Gotta Catch 'Em All thing with the Numbers and a lot of it just seems like an exact duplicate of the original Yu-Gi-Oh seires, and to find out Heartland himself is voiced by the same guy that did Pegasus? That was kind of irritating, but Kite made a lot of things better. One really annoying thing about the series is just about every episode is a two-parter. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so darn predictable. You can pretty much tell when an episode is going to be a two-parter. In the end I don't hate Zexal anymore but there is stuff I don't like one of which is the Family-Unfriendly Aesop that is the Shining Draw which is really just cheating. I still love 5D's and its Darker and Edgier tone but there are somethings about Zexal that are there to love. Is it the worst? I say give it a watch for a while and decide for yourself.
