That's good.

The Frogurt is also cursed.

That's bad.

********.

Three protagonists teaming up is awesome.

And I guess the story is being headed by Takahashi, so people have to like it now.

I can see it now..

Yugi: Judai-kun!
Judai:Yugi-san!
Yusei: Judai and Yugi-kuns!!
Yugi: Yusei-kun!
Judai: Yusei-kun!
Yugi: Kun!
Judai: Kun!
Yusei: Kun!
Yugi: San!
Judai: San!
Yusei: San!

Rinse and repeat.

Hm. Yugi,Judai and Yusei VS: Mr. Evil?

Takahashi is in charge? It HAS to be good, or at least decent enough to watch. If the GX writers made it, I'd worry.

Well, while I like that they're all involved, I hope the execution is well-done. Otherwise, we'll probably have a Yugi VS Judai again. But I've got faith in Takahashi.

*is somewhat surprised more people haven't commented on what is the biggest Yugioh news in ages*

Call me slow, but it's suggesting that this is going to be longer than a traditional 30-minute OVA, right? Because trying to fit this into half an hour would be insane.

Damn! This is even bigger than Oda's involvement in One Piece Movie 10! I can't wait to see how this turns out. Yugi, Judai, and Yusei together is just so much to take in.

Nonsense. If it turns out awful, then I sure as hell won't like it, whoever wrote it.

Only if Takahashi is also Writer and Executive Producer like Oda.

I'm not surprised or happy or mad.... it's pretty normal to me.... maybe because I'm not interest in three protagonist interact with each other..... in my opinion, it's a bad idea.... and I don't really care much about OVA either.....

.....

.....

But I still look forward for what Kazuki himself has come up with. Hope it's going to be good.

What if they make card promos after the OVA?

Can we finally see Dark Renewal, Miracle Contact and/or some other card into a real TCG/OCG card?

Not really, but it does give us a bit more hope, although I think "...comes to life through Kazuki Takahashi's original work" could simply just mean that they're celebrating the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise as a whole, which is Kazuki Takahashi's creation.

Haha, hell no
They will give each character completely new cards they never used in the old show and print those in Absolute Powerforce
It happened before, it will happen again

Synchro Dark Magician/E-Hero?

That'd be pretty rad actually.

True, though I'm equally excited for that as well. I'm glad manga artists are finally getting involved, as how it should be.

If they are going to do this, it better at LEAST be 45 minutes, if not the traditional 1 hour 30 minutes of an average anime movie. I'm crossing my fingers to get more cameos than just the three heroes, meaning Anzu, Jounouchi, Honda, Sho, Manjoume, Kaiba, etc, etc along with Aki, Rua, Ruka, Jack and Crow. It's very possible to have them all be in it, if it's done RIGHT, and not just random cameos. Would also be cool to see mini cameo shots of past major Duelists and characters from both series.

I'd love to see Dark Magician as a synchro monster. Since they did one for Summoned Skull, why not him? He is Yugi/Atem's favorite monster. Also, they will have to do one for Dark Magician Girl.

I'm also hoping for a mixed bag of the best BGMs from all three series. Just imagine...

Intresting, so the speculations were true? Yugi/Judai/Yusei are teaming up in a movie. HA I predicted on an evil dude, well I was thinking Judai oh wells. I'd hope Yusei gets to work with them both equally, Judai/Yugi already dueld each other so its Yusei's turn now. Can't wait for it.

I just learned about the news right now. That sounds pretty awesome! Kazuki Takahashi's involvement in the OVA, yay!

Didn't he want to do a movie once where he crossed GX and DM over, anyway? Now his dream can come true!

Just don't give this to 4Kids, they'll want another YGO movie anyday.

They've prob already got an idea hidden some where for a second American made Yugioh film. They love showing how much they care for the series >>
I do wonder how Yugi and Judai will act towards Yusei? Will they be older too? Or will they come from different times? Yugi I can see but I'm a bit curious how they'll hanndle Judai

I just hope Kaiba, Manjyome, and Altas never meet. If that happens, even monsters on godly strength would stay away from the massive ego clash.

Yeah, that is a bit worrying. It doesn't sound as if he's exactly writing, just offering the concepts. Like he did for GX and 5D's. Not that Mr. Takahashi is some infallible writing genius, but I trust Yugioh stuff in his hands far more than everybody else combined.

I don't think that's too much to hope for, and I certainly do too. It wouldn't be right to have a Yusei Theme playing when Yugi summons Black Magician, or whatever. I'm sure the writers know that. I except a pretty epic soundtrack.

Also, this better not involve time-travel. Either show Yugi and Judai at the ages they have reached, or make it some sort of surreal-simulation mindscrew duel with no strings attached. I don't see any other way of making it convincing. Dunno who exactly I'm talking to here.

You are right... And I totally misinterpreted that line earlier, eh. And, what Ryusaki said.

I wonder if anyone else is going to make a cameo appearance from the other series, or if it's just the protagonists. But as MezzoDragon said, the three rivals would cause a rather chaotic ego clash. XD

The anniversary's official website

That silouhette of the three is kinda cool...but...

...uh, who is holding up the center card? :0

Personally I think the Anime writers are just as good. Or just as bad, depending on how you look at it.

I like Takahashi's work, but he's no better then Kishimoto or the host of other Shonen writers.

It's definitely not Yugi. XD

They're awful and nowhere near his level.

Oh, he's much better than Kishimoto. Much better than alot of shonen writers. He's certainly not in the league of people like Toriyama, Oda and Togashi, but still a helluva better than many others.

********.

Kishimoto is probably a better writer then Takahashi, and I'm not even a fan of Naruto.

TRUST ME, he's not. Become a fan of Naruto and you'll see why.

No, he is.

People just hate Naruto to be cool, despite the fact leave the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom and it's treated the same way. This is just one shonen series bashing another shonen series which is ridiculous.

No, he isn't. I'm not saying Kishimoto is the bottom of the barrel, actually he can be quite decent, that is, when he cares about his characters and story. That was the case pre-timeskip. Well, maybe except for the "Chase Glossy Black: For Great Justice" arc, but let's not get into detail on that one.

Takahashi on the other hand did care about his story and characters all the way to the end (unlike Kishimoto, who basically gave all fans the middlefinger halfway through). The character development and plot twists made sense, he didn't made up stuff as he went on, so plot holes and DEM are reduced to a minimum.

People hate Naruto because it went the same way 5D's did. It had a good, promising start and then the writer(s) lost their interest/became lazy/didn't give a shit anymore and what we get is a load of crap.

But this is getting off topic, so I'll stop here.

Kishimoto was a decent writer until after the Chunin Exams. After that, I dunno what happened to him. But either way this is off topic.

-True, and I wouldn't mind at all if they make a few new versions of old BGMs. Not another Passionate Duelist, but there are other GX and DM BGMS that were really good and could be worth making a version 2 for. Though I'd like to see some originals as well.

Nah, it'd be awesome to see those three together. It'd be like a TV reality series "Whose Ego is Bigger?!" starring Seto kaiba, Jun Manjoume and JACK ATLUS. (I think Jack actually has the other two beat, based on his performance in the job search oO)

Yugi actually is holding the center card. You'll see why when the page loads. The silouhette does make it seem a bit off. XD

EDIT: Here's the image.

Hmm, I guess going off about Kishimoto was kind lame. :X

To be honest, I just wish the anime writers weren't bashed so much because I actually like alot of stuff they did. :/

. . . does it make me a bad fan that the first thing I noticed, after "oh, I guess YnYuugi's hand isn't magically detached after all," is "*snerk* YNYUUGI HAS GIRLY HANDS"?

Also, screw you, YnYuugi, when do we get to see YUUGI duel <_<

I bet the story is just about some random evil guy who uses magic to take the best duelists in history to duel against him to get their duel energy for some big evil thing, but then loses against the three, who return to their times and the world is saved. The End.

It's about the only plot they could shove into 30 mins.

I bet the plot is that someone gets a Red Eyes Black Dragon in their booster pack and then-Oh my gawwwwwdd. That was the original 30 minute animu. It wasn't that bad though..I hope its not like last year..An out of place, no explanation duel between Jack and Yusei..That was..lame.

Well, not EVERY single Naruto filler was bad, despite what some of these people will try and say. It's just 150 episodes of filler is WAY too much for any series. That's what makes it bad as a whole. I would rewatch them, but not all at once.

Maybe it'll be a Yugi, Judai and Yusei VS Kaiba, Manjoume and Jack Duel.

Just think of the cliche-ness that would produce.

Yeah, that OVA sucked. I won't even bother seeing if there's an official DVD release to add to my collection.

"All for one and One for all!" first thought came into my head when I saw this and my jaw just dropped. *q* lol

anyways, this looks to be really something else more then we expected. The animation looks good for all 3. I sure hope this OVA will be smash it in October. Maybe its more of Trio Tag Team dueling then just all 3 of them verses on another maybe? =P

Still, this looks to be good! Cannot wait for this, House Season 6, Inuyasha 2, Fairy Tail anime to come out this fall! >v<

Their going to create a card that goes beyond a miracle, or something of a generic Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! cliche along those lines. *COUGH COUGH DEM*

Silly rabbit, you can't surpass a miracle, that makes no sense

I'm interested to see how this turns out..A new Spellcaster for Yugi would be cool.

You know, sometimes, I think that maybe Judai will use Super Fusion and summon a monster that is combining all three. Then Yusei steals it and then Yugi destroys it. Pretty awesome, right?

Hmm, is there an airdate confirmed for this? October?

Can't help but think of something similar to Final Fantasy Dissidia?

Btw, I'm back XD

THESE THREE'S

Well at least this isn't just a rumour anymore!
My life is almost complete!
I would like to know more about the plot.

I think it's telling it won't be a duel between the 3 of them. And Thanks God, I think a battle against some evil guy is much more interesting. I don't have any intention to watch duels all the time.

I am still hoping the other main characters get some screentime on the sideline as well. Like the three protagonists handle the main villain, and the others battle some flunkies on the sideline. I won't hold my breath though, but I sure would like to see characters like Jounouchi, Honda, Anzu, Mai, Sho, Asuka, Johan, Aki, Rua and Ruka interact with one another, not to mention the ego-clashers Kaiba, Manjoume and Jack, as we've discussed.

It depends on if they all interact through a time warp or a virtual technology type of thing, or if, the better, case, we get to see them in their grown up state. Personally, I would like to see ALL the main characters return as they currently are now in 5D's time line, so we get a glimpse of both their current appearance and a tad bit of info on what has happened to them. That would TRULY be a proper celebration of the 10th anniversary, if you ask me.
