Vanguard OverDress is a reboot/relaunch of the long running Cardfight Vanguard franchise and now that its first cour has run its course I can safely say I can see where they’re going while also having no idea who this series is for. Now we have to wait for the next season, which will probably finish the story and allow us to be able to give it a fair analysis. With great visuals, specially in the short battle scenes with the 'avatars', nice voice acting complementing fun and enjoyable characters, and a decent soundtrack. Regarding the more technical aspects, the anime is pretty decent. In a industry where it's really easy to just sit and repeat what made success, they took a step froward and tried to reinvent themselves. But at least give them credit for trying. It is much easier to connect and enjoy their stories beacause of this. They basically take all the SoL aspects of the other animes (which are arguably the best part about these for me) and do not rush them in 10 minutes per episode so they can fit a rushed fight in the other half. It is a story about theseĬharacters and how they grow as people, and they play Vanguard in the process. The biggest difference between this and the older animes ('If' may be an exception here), is that it is not a story ABOUT Vanguard told USING Vanguard. There is no first episode explaining the rules, there is no old characters making cameos, it is all new and it is all different. To keep things short: Vanguard overDress is a breath of fresh air injected in a considerably old franchise.Īs someone who watched and loved the first series back in 2011, and tried some of the subsequent ones, it was really nice to see overDress not following the same old formula. This is how Yu-yu encounters Vanguard, a world he has never seen before, and is drawn in by its powerful allure- making new friends along the way. As Yu-yu stares at them, the card fight is soon eroded into a world of images. Blackout's leader, Danji Momoyama, and the mysterious and powerful fighter, Touya Ebata. Tonight, a serious fight for the team's flag will take place. At the amusement park, Yu-yu meets Megumi, Zakusa Ishikame, and Tomari Seto, members of 'Team Blackout,' a group that meets to play Vanguard every night.

Megumi invites Yu-yu to a nighttime amusement park called 'Wonder Hill' where her friends hang out.

One day, Yu-yu could no longer stand going along with his sister's hobby, so he ran away from home. He has the ability to sense the feelings of others, but he is troubled by the fact that he cannot say no when asked. He is 15 years old and in his third year of junior high school. Yu-yu is a boy living in Kanazawa, Kaga Province.
