Cardfight!! Vanguard Highschool Arc
Synopsis
Upon the conclusion of the Vanguard High School Koshien, Kouji Ibuki begins to have new nightmares. Nome Tatsunagi has Suiko summon him to the mansion where they learn he can see a Dark Tower called Sanctuary. Sanctuary is causing the timeline to be altered throughout history, and the only way to correct it is for Kouji to first correct his future mistake. Now Kouji and Suiko must travel the parallel world -if- and watch as Magical Girls Emi Sendou and Shuka summon Vanguard units to help correct history. Sadly the two can't help much as Cardfighting against real monsters doesn't do much good. (Source: ANN)
Audience Consensus
The audience is largely disappointed with 'Zoku Koukousei-hen,' finding the story weak and the pacing problematic. While some appreciate seeing familiar characters, the lack of compelling cardfights and the feeling that it's a mere attempt to promote the card game leave many underwhelmed. The series is considered entertaining but ultimately unnecessary, failing to deliver a satisfying conclusion for long-time fans.
Strengths
- Enjoyable for fans of the first series.
- Unique animation style remains watchable.
- Kourin's character gets justice in this version.
Weaknesses
- Lackluster story and weird pacing.
- Missing full cardfights, which are a key element.
- Plot is wobbly and doesn't contribute anything remarkable
- Feels like a cash grab to sell card game.
