I looooove having a fandom again.
The only problem here is that [re]consuming canon is consuming of time as well, and I don't have much of that because I'm taking too many classes.
ETA: Aaaaand then I watched episode 19 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0. It is not with the gender-nonconforming-friendly. And it doesn't look skippable in a rewatch, either, it's the introduction of two characters who are familiar from the main-series anime and therefore important.

I think if you read the manga, Season 0 is perfectly skippable. Said high school friends rarely watch it on their re-watches. And from what I understand about the rest of the anime, it largely pretends Season 0 didn't exist, anyway, so.
(... this coming, albeit, from someone who's never watched the anime and gets all their knowledge from the manga, fannish osmosis, and Yugioh Abridged.)

Season 0 is a lot of fun, though. Except for the bit I mentioned above. I love that they expanded Miho's role from 'one-episode love interest, sort of' to 'appears every episode', and I'm annoyed that she up and vanished between Seasons 0 and 1.
Timelining all this is, uh, interesting, though...
Yugioh Abridged, huh?

(Anonymous) 2014-02-04 09:47 am (UTC)(link)Heh. Good luck with the timelining! Most people seem to have given up on that and just run with whatever canon bits happen to work for them at that point. :P (joking aside, the manga actually does make a kind of sense, timeline-wise. I've never actually seen someone fit Season 0 in with the rest & would be really interested in how that might work!)
Yugioh Abridged (http://www.yugiohabridged.com). I'm... hesitant to recommend it. I love it to bits, and I pretty much can quote the BBT abridged movie by heart, but it's super, super fucking problematic. Their two main sources of jokes are 1) how ridiculous the 4Kids dub is (which, fair enough) and 2) "jokes" involving various marginalized groups. Gay jokes, jokes about women are always preoccupied with breasts, trans jokes... ugh, is the point. (Inexplicably, I like it in spite of all that.)
The BBT abridged movie is probably the one that has least amounts of faily jokes (I don't remember any, actually, but tbh I'm sure there are). I don't know how funny it'd be without the rest of abridged, though. They're a big fan of self-referential jokes - again, they're toned down it the movie, but I don't know by how much.
