This might just be the first time i've seen a card game anime that isn't about saving the world from the evil thing with card game THAT YOU CAN BUY NOW GO OUT AND BEG YOUR PARENTS FOR MONEY TO BUY OUR CRAP That said it IS still a 30 minute commercial however this time around we actually see what makes card games fun. Testing decks and strategies. building a deck that you're slowly improving as time goes on. The weird love you end up with for the most random card in your deck that makes you wanna play it in everything despite it not beingall that good cough cough questing beast. Later on they do get into the SAVE THE WORLD WITH CARD GAME however this first season specifically is really nice to go back to every so often just to see the absolute wonder that grows in these characters as they get better at the game and take on locals.
