Cardfight!! Vanguard G / Luck & Logic Fanbook

Author: Peanut

Happy July!

Today is the day our third Fanbook goes on sell at Anime Expo 2016!

If you can recall, we released 2 Fanbooks last year and if you would like a copy, they are still for sale at the Bushiroad Online Shop! For the first two Fanbooks, Cardfight!! Vanguard collaborated with two titles respectively: Future Card Buddyfight; an increasingly popular TCG title from Bushiroad, and Love Live! School idol project, a title enjoying worldwide popularity in recent years. This year, we are going to have the 3rd Fanbook! This Fanbook will be a collaboration between Luck & Logic, the new TCG from Bushiroad, and Cardfight!! Vanguard!

Let’s have a sneak peak of the new Fanbook:

Interview with the Director of Cardfight!! Vanguard G TV Animations

Two months ago, we received an overwhelming response from you guys when we conducted a survey on the column, to gather any questions you would like to ask Mr. Umemoto, the director of Cardfight!! Vanguard G TV animation series.

After careful selection, we submitted the following 6 questions to Mr. Umemoto!

  1. How much time does each episode take for production on average?
  2. Could you explain the production procedure for cardfight scenes, such as game play and direction?
  3. What is difficult in making the fight scene? Besides the fights, what is the hardest task as the director?
  4. Where do you get your inspiration for the Stride sequences?
  5. Compared to the previous Cardfight!! Vanguard series as well as the early episodes of the G series, the storyline is now more serious. Could you explain the reason behind the direction?
  6. Which characters do you like in Cardfight!! Vanguard G?
    And what is your favorite clan?

Check out the new Fanbook for the answers from Mr. Umemoto!

Master the Clan-exclusive Abilities in Cardfight!! Vanguard G

Starting from Cardfight!! Vanguard G, a number of clan-exclusive abilities have been introduced to the game. I believe you can name a few: “Time Leap” for <<Gear Chronicle>>, “Vanish Delete” for <<Link Joker>>, “Bloom” for <<Neo Nectar>>… In this Fanbook, you will be able to find a summary of all the existing abilities! We believe such a summary would be very handy to help you explore Cardfight!! Vanguard!

A Generation Past

If you are fan of the “A Generation Past” series, the last two articles will be featured in this Fanbook as well. Part Sieben and Acht feature the nations, Dark Zone and Magallanica respectively, where the clans used by the Rummy Labyrinth duo, <<Pale Moon>> for Luna Yumizuki and <<Granblue>> for Am Chouno, reside. Ronin, the author of the “A Generation Past” series, will guide you through the two nations, looking at the memorable cards that have been released and used by many of you a while ago.

“A Generation Past” articles:

A Generation Past, Part Ein (Shadow Paladin, Royal Paladin, Oracle Think Tank)
A Generation Past, Part Zwei (Angel Feather, Genesis, Gold Paladin)
A Generation Past, Part Drei (Kagero, Narukami)
A Generation Past, Part Vier (Tachikaze, Murakumo, Nubatama)
A Generation Past, Part Fünf (Megacolony, Great Nature, Neo Nectar)
A Generation Past, Part Sechs (Nova Grappler, Dimension Police, Link Joker)

What you have just read is merely a sneak preview of the upcoming Fanbook. Featuring 16 full color pages of Cardfight!! Vanguard content, coupled with another 16 pages for Luck & Logic, it will definitely be the Fanbook you would absolutely want to own!

Oh did I forget to mention that awesome freebies such as G guardian PR cards, a serial code coupon for Cardfight!! Online, and 2 Luck & Logic PR cards will also be included in the Fanbook?

The Fanbook will be presold at Anime Expo AX 2016 in Los Angeles, USA starting from TODAY!!!! They are only available in limited quantities so grab them before they run out! Next week, there will also be Fanbook presales at C3 CharaExpo 2016 in Singapore. For fans who are unable to make it to those events, the Fanbook will be available worldwide starting from the end of July!
