I had a small amount of Digimon cards, not enough to make a full deck, but just to have.
So I have no idea how it plays.

I remember getting into collecting cards with Pokemon first. That lasted for a while, but I never actually learned how to play the game. Some time into the double digit years I learned and actually played Yugioh for a good while. That's where many childhood memories of mine stem from. MTG was also something I knew existed but my circle of friends didn't play it, so I never tried to learn it.
I guess I found a loophole in the evolution route to Satanism!
MEGAS XLR 109
OH MY GOD MEGAS VERSUS VOLTRON/THE POWER RANGERS.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Me either, really, but we had a good number of the cards and tried to figure the game out and whatevs. Digimon was pretty awesome back then. Some day I'll probably break down and watch my way through the whole series to see what all the fuss is nowadays.

Anyone who's yearning to play a TCG should sign up for the Card Hunter beta. It's an online free-to-play game that combines TCGs with SRPGs. A fun, well-designed game.
Aren't a lot of those Bushiroad? Not really up on obscure anime TCGs, although I saw a few laughably dead-on-arrival anime TCGs during the anime boom in America like Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Inuyasha. I got a few manga volumes/DVDs/figurines for these free due to some promo TCG cards being pack-ins that I would just sell on ebay.
My worst "bought into a failed TCG" experience was probably the Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG. I never found a SINGLE person to play with.
Sounds like Capsule Monsters/Dungeon Dice Monsters!

Ah that episode was one of the greatest in Megas XLR, and it still stays good. I really miss it.
Anyway, I sort of toyed with the idea of doing Digimon, but not the whole franchise. Dealing with Doremi and Sailor Moon as it is already, and my mind still recalls enough of Adventure and 02 to not bother to watch them again. Tamers rewatch, Data Squad, and Xros (or whatever), maybe, since the latter two I never even watched. But that'll be for like... another time.

So it's just like Duel Monsters?
Dungeon Dice Monsters was Duel Monsters modified for a grid playfield that involved physically moving cards to attack. Remember the Duke Devlin stuff?

In Card Hunter's case, you're not moving cards, but moving figures who use the cards in your deck to move/attack/etc.
"Farmer with shotgun." Heh.
I'm dying. I can't breathe. He just side-swipes the entire team of Voltron/PR and Jaime laughs and says "they said ZORP." I can't breathe.
"Who the ZORP are you!?" I'm dyi pls smby helb me.

I value direction/directors above everything else. Which is not to say I don't value animators, of course, but directors are the people who put those animators to good or ill use. A great director can make a work with weak animation successful, while great animators can't salvage a work with poor direction.
I've only seen a couple episodes of Marco, so he hadn't gotten out of Italy yet, but the art for the setting was incredibly detailed. I'd imagine Argentina is the same way.

Duel Monsters with a fabulous protagonist.
He forces them to combine with him. It's like a scene right out of Gurren Lagann. He just grabs the other robots, slaps them on, and it WORKS. He just copies his OS onto theirs from one folder to another and BOOM.
This show. THIS SHOW. This is the show. THE SHOW.

Meanwhile they're going NOOOO! as they're being violated by every limb on Megas' body, it's glorious. Coop just don't give a fuck unless its part of his speech
"wota" doesn't specifically mean idol (w)ota(ku) in Japanese, it's just another way of writing ota.
Like for example, google "アニヲタ" ("aniwota"), short for "anime (w)otaku" and you'll get 2,400,000 hits.
Saying "wota" by itself in Japanese won't convey the meaning of "idol wotaku," so that's why zeroshiki was checking for confirmation.
Of course, you were speaking English and using English slang and zeroshiki knew what you meant but decided to be a smartass.
That said, it does seem to be a trend for certain idol related words to use wota more frequenrly than ota, so probably that's where the association in English came from.
e.g. "moowota" (モーヲタ
" for Morning Musume otaku, if we google that, we getモーオタ (mooota) 106,000 hits
モーヲタ (moowota) 565,000 hits
So it seems, when talking about idols, people use wota more as a habit, but wota itself isn't inherently for idol (w)ota(ku) only.
Here's a Yahoo! Chiebukuro (Japanese Yahoo! Answers) page where someone asks what the difference between "ota" and "wota" is, and the word idol never even comes up once in any of the responses:
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1386729193
And then the episode caps off with the A-Team theme. This episode is just amazing.
Sorry for the image-heavy post, but might as well while we're on the TCG subject. So I was rummaging around my room the other day and actually found a copy of BECKETT POKEMON COLLECTOR from 2001. I know that I subscribed to this for a couple of years and have no idea where all of my other volumes went. But, for anyone amused by the mention of defunct RPGs, there are a few in here. Some choice pages:
The cover, because Jeff Amano's art is hilariously bad.
lol @ using Garlic Jr characters as incentives
double lol @ the ONE-HUNDRED BOOSTER PACK incentive. You just know that there were kids dumpster-diving behind hobby shops for this back then, or if not, I pity the person who actually purchased one hundred booster packs for the Dragonball Z Trading Card Game. There used to be so many ads for this in Beckett but I never met a single person who played.
MAIL-ORDER. I bet that anyone under the age of 20 hasn't sent away for an item through snail mail once in their life.
More relevant though: there was apparently a Sailor Moon TCG.
deviantart before deviantart
All of the new Pokemon from Gold and Silver, lovingly rendered ever-so-slightly-off because licensing the Sugimori art would bankrupt the magazine.
I own the Pikachu N64. No regrets.
Ah, the monthly consolation page for the Digimon weirdoes. Beckett would eventually have a Beckett Digimon Collector magazine, but it was predictably short-lived.
This is how I knew about all of the DBZ characters years before I actually watched the show since my cable provider didn't offer Cartoon Network. Beckett sure loved to pretend that people actually played the DBZ TCG.
WHY JEFF AMANO WHY
AND DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MINDS YOU IRRESPONSIBLY POISONED WITH YOUR TOTALLY BASELESS SHIPPING ART

Pssh. Shit ain't baseless. I got that Pokemon English Dub soundtrack, son. Featuring this little number.
It's the most beautiful thing I've seen since Gurren Lagann and Eureka Seven.
How is the answer to this question anything other than yes?
Turn A Gundam 6
FUCK YES FINALLY GIANT ROBOT FIGHT. The Turn A busts out the old school morning star we haven't seen since MSG's early episodes. Wonder why that thing never caught on, cuz it was awesome. Anyway, Loran is obviously doing his best to avert a war that the existence of another 40 episodes tells me will inevitably break out. In spite of this, I feel like politics are being handled with some manner of thought, which is a mind blowing departure from the norm for this franchise.
PV for the next episode looks like cross dressing. Poor, poor Loran.
Oh man that bass track and drum machine combo is so typical of 90s love songs. Good God, I just know somewhere out there some kids slow danced to this at a school dance. And I would pay legal tender to see that.
People have trotted out Misty's Song for twelve or thirteen years and yet they can't alter one iota of its non-canon status for all of their persistence.

It really is. I'm crossing my fingers for a season 3 reboot...
It's so fucking cheesy but that's why I kinda love it. I still have the CD too.
Don't shit on my dreams k man? ;_:
It's ripped to my iPod >.>
A great example of this is Rozen Maiden this season. While the art doesn't suffer quite so much from Studio Deen's usual blank, bland colour choices and character designs thanks to the intricate style of the original manga, the animation itself isn't particularly strong. It's definitely thanks to Mamoru Hatakeyama that the show remains visually interesting despite this.
I used to moderate for one of the biggest Pokemon discussion boards back in the day. It took me about five seconds to grow weary of reading shipping debates :lol

The animation isn't especially strong, but it's not particularly weak either. There are some nice, fluid cuts, and I haven't noticed any poor character art or problematic lack of motion. The overall art and color design is really good. It certainly looks better than the somewhat messy manga art.
I don't think the show suffers from the "DEEN" stereotype of poor production values at all.
While we're talking about this, I may as well mention that Hatakeyama is storyboarding episode 5 as well. At this point, it's looking likely that'll he'll be storyboarding the entire show, with perhaps one or two exceptions.
I have some of my bad artwork from when I was 10ish hanging on the wall of my room. It hangs as a reminder that any idea, no matter how awesome I might find it at the time, could prove truly awful in retrospect.
Time of EVE 4
This was a fairly humorous episode until it rammed the audience into a brick wall of feels, man. Really digging this show so far. The way Rikuo and Masaki are both reacting to what they're learning about robots is pretty interesting, and the show continues to explore its points fairly well. Poor ol' Nameless.

I'm aware of the interchangeability of ota/wota but I wasn't aware if he really was talking about the wota used by idols and that's why I checked
I was not being a smartass (much).DID SOMEONE SAY MISTY FANART?

I'm far less versed in the inner workings of producing anime than I'd like to admit. But film direction is something I value greatly, and I'd say that appreciation carries over to this medium as well. I really need to read that anime production line blog post that I bookmarked from here sometime.

ANother great episode with Pote and her newly acquainted club member making yet another big stride in becoming more open to others. The bit at the end with the tree's hit all the right notes as well, even more so than the ED. ;_;
Also, I just realised it's none other than Megumi Ogata voicing Potte's mother so now I can't help but think the mother's some gender swapped version of Kumagawa. lol

Also the most offensive bit about that Misty art is all that wasted white space.

On the positive side of things, I'm so distracted by the self-plagiarism that I still have not found Porun annoying.
Not content with ripping off Dragon Ball Z storylines, now we're stealing Dragon Ball GT's character designs. How low can Toei go?

What Okabe has done has pretty deepley affected everyone involved but they are equally to blame for making selfish dmails.
Thats when you go sit next to other people.
