It could gain a following on the 'net instead of TV, who knows? If they are serious about it they'll follow up with an english release/license of the game itself and then do stuff like bundle DVDs of a couple episode with starter decks. Remember, the success of a card game anime has nothing to do with DVD sales: It's card sales that count! Streaming instead of waiting for a TV deal that might never come is probably smarter in this day and age.

When I watched this....I realized I was really, really, REALLY lucky to have seen Yu-gi-oh back in the day as my first card game series.
You know it could have been YGO GX.... It could have been Duel Masters.... It could have been THIS Vanguard.....thing... Show like these make you see how genius Yu-gi-oh really was. |

Seeing how I am watching this mostly to learn the game, and see how it compares to MTG and YGO, I am impressed to an extent. It seems pretty simple, kinda like Pokemon with the 6 damage limit. However it relies a bit too much on luck to draw a trigger to activate some effect which could make or break the attack in your favor. But, there is a bright side. The starter decks being given away have special speed rules. I hope these rules in the show now are speed rules.

The series most people are familiar with begins with Duelist Kingdom, which really was about the card game. but there was also a significant plot with the Sennen Items that lasted all through to the end of the Ceremonial Battle. Does any other card game anime have such a compelling underlying plot that makes it a serious anime? |

Well, the first episode wasn't bad at all. Some random observations:
Spoiler for Episode 1:
Overall, if you're a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh and similar card centered shows, this doesn't do anything horribly wrong, and actually shows some promise. As long as they sort out the issues with the game and Aichi develops into a worthy protagonist for people to sympathize with, it might be a nice time sinker.

But really, I prefer abilities and triggers to simply increasing attack and detracting more life points. ... In other news, if you want strategy in card games, go play 5 Rings. Is it a bird? Is it a game? No, It's frakkin Romance of the Three Kingdoms with jutsus and a million rules in card game form. |

I hope these are merely the speed fight rules that the starter decks being given away will be played with. If the game is this luck driven, with only monsters, it can get pretty old fast. I hope the actual game has more in depth rules and these are merely speed rules to have a quick match.

Amusingly, in the opening, there is also a Dark Magician Girl looking card. |

Male lead is exactly like our good old Yugi, weak getting bullied, being put to face against said-strongest character of the anime so far, but being shy for almost 85% of the time. The game itself was well simple of course as people said before it's entirely luck dependent more then strategy.

You too can transform from wimp to hero by playing Vanguard! I liked the first ep. Too bad it's one week until the end of the card battle.
