Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga: 001 The God Puzzle
May. 16th, 2016 04:00 pmLet me start by saying that I can get a bit obsessive at times. I'll pick something up, whether a game, movie, comic, book, and refuse to think about anything else for days on end. It's pathetic and distracting, especially when I have other things that I need to be getting on with. Focus is NOT my strong suit.
So, you can imagine my annoyance when I started reading about this new Yu-Gi-Oh! movie that came out on the 25th of April. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but I've always had a soft spot for Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I've never read the manga, and since the new movie goes with manga rather than anime canon, maybe I should...
And that was my slow descent into madness. Over the past few days, I've been reading the manga, and I realize I have A LOT of things to say. A LOT. Most of them aren't the best things, actually, which makes me a little sad. I still really enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but I've grown a more critical eye for writing and stories over the years since I even watched the show, and... well, let's just say it could have done with an editor LONG before it hit the page.
In fact, the sheer amount of very specific things I'd like to say, to this and more positive ends, are so numerous that I think it's necessary to go through this thing chapter by chapter. And where better to start than the beginning...
