The DVD of the Century...Comes Early?!?!

Hey, YuJaYu here! I just read on the YGO3D Twitter that the US DVD release of Bonds Beyond Time might come out May 5th! Yes, that's right, May 5th!!! But, it's only a "might", though, so don't get your hopes up too much. But that would be so kick-butt awesome if it came out on the 5th, 'cause that's only 3 days away. I will have more updates later. Click the post title to take you to the link. YuJaYu out!!!

ZEXAL Ep. 3 - A Sudden Incident During the Aftermath

Here is the summary and review for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 3: "A Sudden Incident During the Aftermath!!" A mysterious person is seen on a large computer, installing a virus named "Bugman X". When the Bugman X starts chanting it's name, a bunch of Bugmen X appear and travel throught the computer network. Doing this causes technology around the city to malfunction. On the street, Yuma and Astral are walking and talking about regaining Astral's memories and Yuma is annoyed that he will have to find all the Numbers to help him. Tetsuo and Kotori see that Yuma is still talking to the invisible "Dueling spirit". Astral makes an observation: "Yuma is weird." As Yuma starts to protest, they hear a scream coming from Yuma's house. They rush up to find Yuma's sister Akari mumbling about a virus that corrupted her manuscript, and she only has an hour until her deadline. She tells Yuma to get out and find an explanation for this, pronto! While outside, a juice machine malfunctions and spits out cans of juice. Yuma, of course, gets as many as his arms can hold. A cleaning robot comes and sticks Yuma inside the trash bin, exclaiming "Cleaning! Cleaning!", as it is malfunctioning as well. During dinner, Akari, Grandma Haru and Yuma are all at the table, eating fish and rice. Akari cries about how she missed the deadline, as Yuma and Grandma Haru talk casually about the recent day's events. Akari is snapped out of her mood, and states that something fishy is going on. Hurriedly, she takes Yuma's fish, eats it to the bone (much to Yuma's dismay), and runs off to investigate. After Yuma eats, he goes to the bathroom, while Astral observes the human energy replenishment process. He wonders why he cannot join Yuma in the bathroom. Yuma says if anyone saw him doing this, he'd die! Astral is surprised and makes an observation: "Humans must eat and release in an endless combination. They would die if they were seen doing this." Astral then makes a comment about Yuma's horrible Dueling, and Yuma gets mad at him and storms off. While Yuma sleeps, Astral gets sucked into the pendant Yuma wears around his neck. The next day, at Yuma's school, all the computer textbooks are offline because of the virus. Yuma suggests having a Duel Tournament since they can't do any work. Professor Ukyo, the teacher, agrees, and Yuma's first opponent is Todoroki, the analytical Commitee Chairman. Todoroki beats Yuma easily, and states that a fool cannot win a Duel. Professor Ukyo comes and explains to Yuma that losing is fine and that you just have to learn from it. He asks if that is the challenge spirit of Yuma's "Kattobingu", to which Yuma (who is in tears at this point) agrees. Later, Yuma and Kotori walk home, and Yuma admires Professor Ukyo's kindness. Akari shows up and drives Yuma and Kotori to the school library to stake-out the culprit. There, they find Todoroki, who has just found out about the virus himself. The three of them hunt down Professor Ukyo, who they find out released the virus. They find out he has a Numbers: Number 34. Astral appears when he sees the Numbers. Yuma challenges Ukyo to a Duel so he will stop the virus. The Duel begins! Ukyo uses the same "Bugman" cards that Todoroki was using. He then Exceed Summons Computer Beast Terabyte. With it, he starts to chip away at Yuma's Life Points. REVIEW TIME!!! I thought the episode was good, but why did it have to be another two-parter Duel? The show should stick to one shot episodes for a little bit. I absolutely love Astral; he is my favorite character in ZEXAL. Yuma's okay, but Astral rules! The new Numbers (No.34) isn't very cool-looking, but neither is anything else in this show. Anyway, good episode, but it needed more Duel and less "To be continued" episodes. Click the post title to watch the episode in its full, HD, subbed quality! Next episode: "The Countdown to Reversal! The Ace-in-the-Hole is Astral!?". That stuff should be up by next Sunday. YuJaYu out!!!

It's May!

Hey, everyone, YuJaYu here! Today is May 1st, the start of May. Yeah, I didn't have anything to blog about, soooo...there. Also, I see the review for ZEXAL Ep. 2 - My Name is Astral isn't getting much views, so click the post title link to read it if you can't find it. Well, that's it. YuJaYu out!!!

ZEXAL Ep. 2 - My Name is Astral

Finally! I finally did it! I finally wrote the summary and review for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 2- "My Name is Astral"!!! Sorry it's so late. Also, this was posted on the 28th, but the blog says it's the 25th. Anyway, here it is! Summary: The Duel between Yuma and Shark continues, with Astral appearing before Yuma's eyes, but apparently no one else's. Astral is a spirit so Kotori and Tetsuo are unable to see it, so they think Yuma's hallucinating. Yuma has a brief conversation with Astral about him being a spirit. Astral reveals that he is in fact a duelist, and that it is his turn (Yuma responds "It's my turn!"). Yuma draws and Astral tries to play defense, but Yuma decides that offense is better. But, without taking Astral's advice, Yuma is backed into a corner, and Ryoga is about to obliterate his Life Points with his Revise Dragon. Astral then gives Yuma an Exceed Monster, Aspiring Emperor Hope. Overlaying his Gagaga Magician with his Ganbara Knight, Yuma Exceed Summons Aspiring Emperor Hope for the first time! Ryoga then gets the upper hand again with his Urchin Bomb Trap. Yuma then takes out the rice ball his grandmother gave him before, and eats it, proclaming it as his victory meal. He then flips and yells "Kattobingu da, ore!" He draws...and then falls to the ground on his back. With Yuma's quick thinking, he manages to outsmart Ryoga (and Astral) with a Spell Card and blast Revise Dragon to pieces, winning the Duel. Afterwards, Astral absorbs the Revise Dragon and it becomes a part of Yuma's Deck. Yuma, Tetsuo and Kotori then start celebrating, and Ryoga gives back Tetsuo's Deck. Yuma says he would like to Duel Ryoga again, and this time they won't bet their Decks. Astral then adresses Yuma's luck, and calls him "Toma". Yuma screams in annoyance "It's not Toma, it's Yuma!". Well, that's the summary, now for the long-awaited review. I actually kinda liked this episode, much more than the first episode. It was probably because I was still mad 5D's was gone and this took it's place, but I'm over it now. I still think the characters need to do more, and not just be annoying. But I really like Astral and his awesome voice. If only Yuma could be as cool as Astral. The Duel was pretty boring, it was just as boring as last time. The Duels aren't really exciting like the other YGO series, but I am okay with it. Kattobingu wasn't used that much, only a couple of times, which is good because it was getting annoying. I liked No.39 Aspiring Emperor Hope, he was awesome. I just wish they animated his hands better, like when he grabs the sword, it just wasn't good CG. I thought the flips Yuma was doing were pretty cool, even though he is way hyperactive. Overall, a good episode after the trainwreck first one. I hope it only gets better from here. To watch this episode subbed, click the title post and it will bring you to the video. Next episode: "A Sudden Incident during the Aftermath!" I should have the review up for that in a few days. Kattobingu da, ore!!! (or, YuJaYu out!!!)
