ZEXAL is, and to this day always has been and will be, the best anime in the entire series by a god damn mile. no other series is as complete.
i know people dislike it. i dont care.
ken'ichi hara's best work is in ZEXAL. tasuku hatanaka's breakout role (one of the best seiyuu around IMO). utopia is cooler than every other ace monster. like, dude. you cant watch all of ZEXAL and tell me its anything but peak. if you do, you havent watched it all.

Finally I have found an unpopular opinion that I fully agree with. Though I do feel like Zexal has some weaker parts to it, the first half has a *lot* of episodes that are just "hey look here's some guy with a number doing bad things, go beat him up". Zexal II is perfect though.

Zexal was the first Yugioh series I watched and I'm so glad it was. Not only did it teach me about the game but having Yuma suck at first really amde the escalation worth it. Combine that with the stellar animation and storytelling and I love how it escalates into something great
