Lets talk about the animation quality/art style of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

personalmeel:

NOTE: I live in switzerland, so my english is not that good but I try my best. I couldn’t find a post about this specific topic or something similar to what I’m going to be talking about. If this was already done, please let me know! Anyways, lets start this post!

As a kid I always noticed that the art style/animation quality changed with every episode. Each episode had a different art style/animation quality. I was really pissed about it, but as a kid I didn’t know better but now I do. I figured out that they’re is at least three different art styles/animation quality.

So, here we have the first one. I call this the actual art style/animation quality.
Its my all time favourite tbh.
I really love the way the draw/animate the eyes! I MEAN JUST LOOK THIS ONE:

And then here’s Seto:

And Bakura! (How many times I re-watched this episode because of the art style)

Its just perfect. The lines are gorgeous, animation is on point, shading is amazing, proportions are god damn right, no crazy hair and I always enjoy watching this art style!! You get what I mean, right?

And here we have the second art style/animation. The one thing that really stands out is how they draw the profile of the characters. Its unique. And the proportions are also really nice!

This is my second favourite art style/animation of this series. Its not so smooth like the first one, but it stands out. The hair is drawn a little crazier but thats okay. The clothes have more details (shading) Again, I love how they drew the profile of the characters.

And here we got the third art style/animation, my personal most disliked one. I just dont enjoy it. As a kid I was getting so mad because I didnt liked it how they drew the characters, with no love. (But now I know that they didnt put much money in the production of the episodes)

Do you see what I mean? The animation is not smooth. Proportions are not right. (Face) I really dont like this art style. I hate it tbh. I dont find any morw words.

I hope you liked this post. It was just something that I wanted to talk about. Leave your opinion! I would love to read them.

Headcanon- Desserts

yugiohheadcannons:

Yugi- All types of candy, more so bubblegum! Doesn’t matter what the flavor. He likes the fact that he can keep a piece going for a while. Also hard lollipops and jolly ranchers.

Yami/Atem- fruit parfaits with chocolate sauce. He likes the richness of the chocolate, and the refreshing sweet/tartness of the fruit.

Seto Kaiba- likes salt/sweet things. Whoever invented Salted Carmel ice cream is a freaking genius in his book, also saltwater taffy and dark chocolate with seasalt are pretty high on the list.

Joey – All types of Pies and Pastries. If its got a flakey crust and yummy center, weither it be fruit or dessert middle. He has had almost every flavor possible that did t sound gross and is happy to say blueberry with Vanilla ice cream is his favorite, perhaps in a tie with lemon meringue.

Tea- strawberry cheesecake, end of story, there is no contest and if she could and keep her figure she would eat it every single meal, along with real food of course. But hey her dancing for school and her job helps her indulge more then people think.

Tristen- Carmel. More so soft carmel. He likes how it melts in his mouth almost and can buy a bunch for cheap at a local store that makes them from scratch and are a good thing to keep in his jacket pockets.

Duke- He’s not really a sweets type of person but if it’s cherry flavored he will eat it.

Ryou- it might seem very English but he is very fond of coffee cake with a nice dark earl grey tea. Reminds him of good times at home with his mum.

Why Episode 53 is the Best

real-life-pine-tree:

Before this episode aired, we were under the impression that Atem is the confident hero who has a protective, big brother instinct towards Yugi.

Then this episode aired, and we got this:

“What is this?! Where is the dueling arena?! What has Yugi done?!?!?!”

“I swear, Yugi has no taste in fashion.”

“My god, what are these flying rodents?!”

*insert dorky, indecisive groan here*

“How wonderful! What a rare find this is!”

“How is it fair that Tea gets to duel and I don’t?”

In other words, this is the first time we see Atem as a dorky 5,000-year-old teenage boy, and it is freaking hilarious.
