Okay now I have to check out whatever this ZX and Battle Spirits stuff is.

But hooray Vanguard!

I am only not familiar with FFTCG and ZX. But I just found out that ZX is a new TCG that just released on 27th July this year.

And I was very surprised that WS and Chaos didn't get into the Adult Category.

WS is a low quality pandering game though. Sorry, WS players, but that's what I think about it.

Battle Spirits is basically Duel Masters from what I hear.

ZX is one of those weird Grid-Games with Cards. I believe it's made by Broccoli and that it' s intended as a Print-and-play.

But yes, hooray Vanguard.

I looked at Battle Spirits. Looks more like a convoluted MTG.

Well, I guess we should look into those other games since Vanguard is dead without MLB and DOTE decks. Amirite?

Meh, that's okay. Personally, I only even started because they released the English trial deck for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Then later I decided to pick up two of the other, older series that I liked; Lucky Star and Nichijou. Now I just picked up Robotic;Notes, and DAYYYMMM the art is sweet. Not to mention the female lead is being voiced by Vanguard's Rekka.

Now back to topic: Yay Vanguard! I'm kinda surprised they had an award in everything except the university category. Weird...

I wonder if Battle Spirits is actually decent in Japan. When Bandai brought it over here it only lived a few sets and you essentially only needed cards from the first set to have the best deck in the game no matter what else they released, which is probably what killed it, or at least killed my interest (no reason to buy new cards ever).
