About CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD

Meet CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD (カードファイト!! ヴァンガード (2018)), an action, adventure and fantasy anime by OLM (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: The main protagonist Sendou Aichi, is a timid and mundane third-year middle school boy. The thing that supported Aichi's heart, was the "Blaster Blade" card that he received as a child.

From there, it's an important rare card from "Vanguard", a card game with the imaginary world of "Planet Cray" as its stage. From the day he reunited with the person who gave him that card "Toshiki Kai", Aichi's everyday life began to change.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Takuya Satou as Toshiki Kai and Izumi Kitta as Misaki Tokura. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 52 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
