Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the Cardfight!! Vanguard anime! There are so many different series, and I’m not sure in what order I should watch them. Can you please help me with this? Thank you!
Jumping into the World of Cardfight!! Vanguard
Hey there! So, I recently found myself diving
into the Cardfight!! Vanguard anime, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride! When I first started, I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of series and spin-offs. I mean, who wouldn’t be? It’s like entering a massive amusement park without a map. But once I got my bearings, it turned out to be a blast!
Choosing the Right Starting Point
I remember sitting down, snacks in hand (probably too many chocolate-covered pretzels, if I’m being honest), and trying to figure out where to begin. The suggestion to start with the original series made a lot of sense to me. I mean, how can you fully appreciate the world of Vanguard without understanding the roots? Watching the journey of the main character, Toshiki Kai, and his rival, Ren Suzugamori, was like watching a classic coming-of-age story unfold. Their dynamic is filled with tension and humor that had me chuckling and occasionally shouting at the screen, especially during those intense battles! But then I also heard about the D series, which is a fresh take with a new protagonist, Yu-yu Kondo. I was curious about how it would differ, especially since people said it was more standalone. So, I decided to check out a couple of episodes from “overDress.” Wow! The animation was super vibrant, and the characters felt so relatable. It was like stepping into a new world while still being able to appreciate the charm of the original.
Memorable Moments
One of the funniest moments for me was when I accidentally mixed up the character names while chatting with a friend who’s a die-hard fan. I called Ren “Ray” and totally butchered a few others, which led to a hilarious debate about who would win in a fight between him and Kai. It’s moments like these that really solidify the community aspect of enjoying these series together!
Finding Your Way to Watch
As for where to watch these series, I found that platforms like U-NEXT and Amazon Prime Video had a solid selection. I may or may not have gotten a little too comfortable binging episodes, losing track of time, and inevitably getting caught up in the thrill of each card battle. It’s hard to resist when you have a whole series lined up!

So, if you’re thinking about jumping into Cardfight!! Vanguard, I’d say go for it! Whether you start from the original series or dive into the D series, there’s a lot to enjoy. And hey, if you have your own tips or funny moments from watching, drop them in the comments! I’d love to hear about your adventures in the Vanguard universe. Happy watching!
