Watch 'Breaking Bad' season 6, episode 1 online for free. It’s no secret that nostalgia is having a moment right now, particularly in pop culture. In 2. 01. 7, we’ve seen reboots and spinoffs of everything from That’s So Ravento Will and Grace. It seems that Spongebob and Arthur memes will never be irrelevant or unfunny.
This fall, several classic Disney Princess movies are being re- released in theaters, and you can bet the target audience isn’t all under the age of seven. Millennials like myself love a good throwback, but it’s more complex than that. During times of change, uncertainty, and transition–both political and personal, as these are inescapable attributes of a 2. Maybe that’s why I’ve watched almost 7. Yu- Gi- Oh! in the past month. Or maybe it’s because it’s just so frickin’ good, you guys. Turns out, in the decade- and- a- half since watching my maximum of two episodes per day (as imposed by my mom) of Yu- Gi- Oh! I’d return home from fourth grade, an amazingly rich fan culture has stayed alive and well. So if you’ve been a part of that for years, sorry I’m late to the party. Or rather, sorry I left for a bit and then came back. How Gozaburo of me). Still, it can’t be denied that the franchise is having a bit of a comeback in 2. In January, we saw the American release of a new movie, Dark Side of Dimensions, and in August an upcoming line of Funko Pop! Clearly, there’s still a market for and interest in a show which so many American millennials primarily associate with early- ’0. Saturday morning cartoons (to be clear, I’m focusing specifically on the five seasons of dubbed anime that aired in the US between 2. And I have a few ideas why. The characters. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that what draws me most to fandoms is the characters and their relationships. I could take or leave action–I want to see my faves joking around with their friends or having awkward moments with a love interest or sharing their backstory. I didn’t return to Yu- Gi- Oh! What fascinates me this time around is how nine- year- old me may not have had a Fanfiction. I do now. At any age, I’m a Seto Kaiba fangirl. I find Mai Valentine to be an amazing, badass (and fabulously dressed) character. I still prefer Yami Yugi to his smaller, teenage counterpart. It’s weird to squeal over plotlines I’d long forgotten, but I suppose the best fiction, from Star Wars to Little Women to Harry Potter to Disney, stirs emotions in people no matter their age. And yeah, sometimes the show is super cheesy. But In 2. 01. 7, even the sappiest declarations of the power of friendship and love feel less cheesy and more necessary by the minute.

The similarities to the fandom that started it all. Like so many of you, my introduction to nerdom, fan culture, and yes, even Hypable, was Harry Potter. I compare most things in life to the fandom that lived, but let me tell you–with Yu- Gi- Oh! I mean, the anime follows a group of teenagers trying to save the world. There are two sets of all- powerful objects that bad guys try to acquire. The first set consists of seven items that together make the holder all- powerful. The second consists of three items that, when united, make the owner invincible. In other words, the Millennium Items (pictured above) and the Egyptian god cards are basically Horcruxes and Hallows. And there’s a whole lot of good- versus- evil, weird stuff with souls moving between bodies and objects, emphasis on loyalty and love, moral grey area, and appealing bad boys (if you think Kaiba and Draco wouldn’t be bros, you’re just plain wrong). What’s more, the two franchises are contemporaries. Yu- Gi- Oh! manga debuted in 1. Japan in 2. 00. 0, while the first Harry Potter book was released in 1. This timing is important for two reasons. First, it means that current 2. Second, and perhaps more significantly, it means that both franchises debuted at the rise of the internet. As Harry Potter has exemplified, that allowed for huge developments in the world of fandom. Suddenly fans could communicate and share fanfiction, art, videos, and theories like never before. Which brings me to…The fan culture(Via Deviant. Art)Not unlike Harry Potter, the Yu- Gi- Oh! There are terms on Urban Dictionary solely because of it. There’s a list of ship names a mile long, which includes everything from canon pairings to OT3s to crackships. A rich fanon adds to the life of a series that could otherwise be (wrongly) dismissed as a cartoon about a card game. While some of my feelings towards the series are the same as they were in 2. Hey, things change. But fandom is forever. Star Wars Videos and Behind the Scenes Featurettes.
