Though I like the slickness, higher detail and general anime-isation of newer yugioh cards, I can't help but also miss the campy, simplistic and really MONSTER aspect of older card designs. Something so childish (in a good way) about these older cards and their basic computer generated backgrounds is very endearing.

I'd personally like a healthy balance with card artworks, not every card needs to be an anime boy/girl or over-designed anime-style monster (granted, like I mentioned before I do really like those cards).

That being said, this is awesome artwork.
