Synopsis
The second half of the second season of Cardfight!! Vanguard G series.
Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed. Long-time Vanguard players appreciate the anime's deep cuts and game knowledge, finding enjoyment in the card battles and meme-filled moments. However, criticisms are directed towards the weak main character, underdeveloped supporting cast, and a plot perceived as juvenile and unoriginal, leading to a polarized viewing experience. Ultimately, enjoyment hinges on prior investment and knowledge of the Cardfight!! Vanguard franchise.
Strengths

- Epic fights, particularly the Chrono vs. Myoujin battle, are highlights.
- The 'idol event in dragon empire branch' filler episode is considered a standout, embracing Vanguard memes.
Weaknesses
- The animation quality is not on par with other card game anime like Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or ZeXaL.
- The main character, Chrono, is considered weak and unlikeable, negatively impacting the series.
- Many characters are underdeveloped and lack personality, making it difficult to connect with them.
- The plot, especially the Company's goals, is criticized for being juvenile, cringey, and an unoriginal 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' ripoff.
- The writing suffers from nonsensical events, awful dialogue, and paper-thin characterization.
