Anime or Manga?

Kitsunechan is going to hate me but I hate the Fillers. Save for the VR RPG and Valon from Doma. When I write my fics, heck with anything I hate loose threads and the fillers all had them everywhere.

With Rebecca's filler, the original one wasn't so bad, it was nice knowing grandpa had some friends in life.

Noa's Arc: Where do I begin? Ok. Let's take Gozoboro. In both versions of how he dies, he either died of a sudden heart attack or because he threw himself out of a high story window. A heart attack cuts blood off from the brain, that's why you have people who develop physical or verbal disabilities after a heart attack. The brain was damaged during the time it was starved for air. A high story fall is going to kill you. Period. With either cases a brain is going to obtain damage, and yet we're expected to believe that Gozoboro not only survived long enough to have his brain downloaded into the system, but have it completely downloaded without problems or clear signs of damage?
Then there's Noa himself. We're expected to believe Gozoboro cared for his son. If that's the case why didn't Gozoboro just find some random unwanted kid and download Noa's brain into the kid himself from the get go? Why waste his time looking around and then settle for a kid who was going to come with the baggage of a baby brother?

Doma: The Duel. It's stated later that Yami Yugi can not pass on till he loses a duel. Doma blows that out of the water by having Yami lose a duel to Raphael!
After countless rants about the 'heart of the Cards' after all the people Yami's driven nuts or killed to protect Yugi. He tosses it all out of the window the moment he touches the stupid green magic circle? I'm supposed to believe that without Yugi Yami turns into an angst ridden Emo anger management class canadate? Ladies and Gentlemen this is supposed to be the soul of a person who 'ran a nation' I think he has a little more self control then that.
The Tablets. The whole idea that Monsters are the Ka of people from Ancient Egypt becoming nothing more then the manifestations of thoughts of man? Even if you apply that notion that the monsters of Egypt's shadow games are different, then why on earth was DMG on that world? For that matter why would DMG be the one with a voice and the one to do all this helpful 'guiding' for Yugi and Yami Yugi if it's DM who's the sig card? ... Sorry forgot about the whole big breasts and small skirt equation.

Kaiba Corporation Grand Prix: Vivian was a Mary Sue Rebecca was one too. Vivan is that 'physical' type of Mary Sue, the one who can do anything that's physical in fact look at her record: Model, Actress, Kung Fu student (If not master) AND High Caliber duelist? All at once? No, that reeks of Sue and I hate sues.
Rebecca is that brainy Sue, the smart one, that reeks of growing up to be a hot babe. Yet has somehow forgotten there is a four year at 'least' age gap between her and Yugi.
Then there's the whole lack of common sense about time. Disney Land and World were 'not' built in less then six months how the heck was Kaibaland?

I like the manga format more, simply because it's a solid plot without threads falling over the place.

The fillers were fine for me till I started writing my fan fic. I wanted to keep it to cannon and so I removed all the fillers and have started inserting them in as part of the cannon. And when I started doing that I noticed all the annoying loose threads in the series. (Snarls)
But I 'did' like Valon. Actually... I adore Valon. I like him and when it comes to pairings I prefer him with Mai any day of the week. Jounouchi is fine as a friend, but the fact of the matter is he is 'not' mature enough to date Mai on any level.
And I realize people would argue that it's the age thing. But considering the fandoms that support *****, rape, and incest in YGO as normal healthy relationships (They're not) Age really doesn't come into it for me.
