I am really surprised that there aren't many viewers for this show on MAL.
When compared to the shows of this type , it stands way out from the ones like YGO Gx and Zexal.

Now on to the review.......

Cardfight Vanguard is a card based anime , a genre which many might skip. Despite being a card based Anime it has very good story line and Good cast of Characters. A plot were main Character is very weak and timid to start with ans stays like that for most part of the show. On his way to become a better person and a better fighter he meets ... lots of new Characters which end up as his friends and rivals.

The story is slow to start with but its okey as it gives time to its viewers to understand the basics of the show. Once the tournament starts the show picks up pace. The second half of the show makes up for the slow start by skiping most parts of fight of many low profile or unnecessary fights.

ART
Cardfight Vanguard has a very pleasing art. Its very colourful and way better than those from the YGO. From Character design to the background art one is sure to fell in love with the art.

CHARACTER
The best part about the show are its characters. Frankly speaking they are far better than most Anime that are aired theses days. All Characters are unique have their personality , reasoning and back story. Voice cast of the characters have done a great job in bringing out the full depth of the Characters...

ENJOYMENT
If you are willing to give this show some time , then i am sure you are gonna experience a great joy watching this show...Its may lack in some aspects but it stays true to itself....

In the end i would say.....this show deserves the love of the viewers especially those who skip good shows like this because for its length or its genre.....

Fairy Tail is one of the few successful shounen modern day anime.

Story
Despite being a decent anime it lacks a depth in its plot. Set in a fantasy Magical realm Shows starting is decent where it introduces various characters like Natsu Lucy Grey and others through several episodes but soon looses its plot ( Natsu's search for dragon named Igneel)....story advances but never focuses on this aspect. New enemies arrive and the Main characters have to deal with it. They are on the verge of defeat and suddenly get powerful because of ... the power of nakama...( Which feels dull ) but as a magical action anime it has done a commendable job

More often than not Plot revolves around the past of main characters

The most interesting concept of the series are its dragon slayers and the mystery behind them and there dragons.

Art
Art is okey.......the backgrounds are static that takes the sheen from its fantasy outlook. It has more of a cartoonish look than a regular anime look. Animation quality is decent.

Sound
Voice actors are good....those of Natsu Lucy jelal and mystogan have done good job...Ost are descent so are the background music played during fights.

Characters
What has kept this series on the top with several other shounen are the no of characters. Character designs are good and are easily recognisable. Characters are unique. Characters from previous arcs are present in new arcs with different roles....But the negative point is that the potential of other Characters isn't fully brought out by the writer.....
