There's absolutely no problem with them experimenting with new art styles, especially good ones.

Look at Madolche. I see very few people complaining about their art style, but it's one that barely fits Yugioh, where monsters are generally either pseudo-realistics or just plain monsters.

Oh and... what's wrong with being like MTG in terms of art anyway? MTG's art is f***ing fantastic.

Madolches' art styles fit Yugioh just fine; the Chibi-style art has been used in plenty of other cards before. It's just that Yugioh art has always had that cartoonish flair, which is nice.

But when they pull a complete 180 into MTG style art, Yugioh loses everything that made their art unique. It just looks like they are trying to copy MTG now. :/

Madolche's art style doesn't fit yugioh at all. Very rarely do we get these little chibi desserts. Konami's perception of food is Mystic Tomato, ffs. Most monsters have a somewhat cartoonish style to them, yes, but said cartoon has an older audience than Madolches do. I mean, look at cards like Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress, Fiend Kraken, Blue-Eyes (just to name some more iconic cards), heck even more modern cards like REDMD, Lightpulsar, the Evols, the signer dragons, no where do they have something that looks like it's entirely aimed at just little kids. So how you conclude that Madolches fit, idk.

This is what happens when they hire different artists. And since you feel like comparing them to MTG. Look at some of the older MTG art then look at the newer stuff. You'd never even know the game was designed by the same company.

Oh god guys I've figured it out!
Yugioh was bought out by Magic the Gathering!

E-Heroes (and all Heroes for that matter) appeal to all audiences, I was going to use it as an example for similar reasons to Madolche, but Madolche are just so much more... non-yugioh.

[Blake]

I don't even like the art much =/

It's not my thing, at all. Same for Madolches. But that doesn't mean some people don't enjoy the art style, so why b**** about it?

I believe he wasn't talking theme-wise. yes Madolches are the first food archetype, but he was talking about the art-style, not (as I said) the theme style. almost all yugioh cards, were drawn by japanese artists (right?) so it was somewhat similiar to anime art, but a bit more "detailed"... Also by your logic, what is your opinion about marshmellon, the toons, petit angel\dragon, the Synchrons, and many many more cards that are considered cute? :S
If you ask me, I don't like this certein card's artwork. but the noble knights and ancient dragon are really really good. This one just seems a bit un fitting to the card frame (lol) but I guess we have to get used to it. But the artist is clearly talented.

The Mystic Tomato comment was a joke. A bad one, but a joke nonetheless.

Rules have their exceptions, but none so much as Madolche take. Look at the style of Madolche and compare them to all of your examples, you'll notice Madolche are far from the monster design that Konami has ever gone for, and people still don't complain about Madolche as much as people complain about this.

People bitched about Ancient Dragon too. I don't think the art is the right choice for the card, but I'd never ever say it looks bad on a yugioh card. it's just them going in a different direction on a few cards' arts. It's nice and adds variety, if anything.

I actually agree with the last paragraph. it's only this certein card that...I don't like..
and again about the madolche- I never knew people felt that way about their art up until now... they look extremley fitting to the yugioh desing imo. it's just that this atchetype is cuter than other cards (every once in a while these kind of cards come out..). If you look at their art, you can clearly see that it's very anime-like, like many other cards (the toons for that matter).

[This Account is Unplayable]

None of the Toons looked like they were marketed to 3 year olds.

And actually, you're taking a really small set of cards and saying that they mean that rule isn't there. Madolche do actually look even chibi-er than the Toons, and don't even resemble monsters or fighters. But regardless, they don't fit Yugioh's style, and yet people don't complain about that while they complain about Prophecy Destroyer and Ancient Dragon.

[Lunar Origins]

Personally, I don't like the non-Japanese art, but I'm sure there are people who do, so I won't complain.

However! Madolches have by far the best art in YGO! in my opinion, and their art is by far a deviance from the norm, as Chris said.

They're just so cute... I'm glad YGO! got injected with a good amount of cuteness.

Oh, and this card is amazing. Absolutely stunned at how it performs in the deck.

[.Rai]

YGO's style has always been semi-traditional fantasy (Elves, dragons, creepy furry balls, magicians, warriors, the occasional anthropomorphic animal like a beaver), until about up to 5D's era in which it was basically revamped into humanized machines and other types of random modern things.

Madolches don't really follow any theme. Kinda annoys me if only because how insanely detached they are.

To be honest, the new types of art are the most traditionally YGO as of yet. Prophecy Destroyer has a certain callback to Summoned Skull and the like, while the Noble Knights are Ancient Dragon are like pure original YGO. Even with its certain MtGness, which never is a bad thing as Chris said (because frankly, MtG art is both awesome and less lazy than YGO art).

Pfft, can't believe how many people in this topic are basically criticising how 'different' the art is.

[Lonk]

Guiz, since when is the artwork important unless if it has to do with a female that raises your bananna?

So this card tests well; He's a beater that can revive itself, yet it is balanced. What more to say about this card other than "This card's artwork isn't traditional!"?

From my understanding, you only think madolches don't fit YGO's style because they are not so monster-ish\ aggressive or somehing like that?
Beacue what I meant was, that they are still the same pusedo-anime (can't really describe it in other words ) like every other japanese art card in yugioh. they are only a bit different because they are cute (and this is probably the reason people don't complain about their art? maybe this and the fact that some people don't like changes...).
am I the only one here that doesn't see anything different or wrong with the madolche's art?
Although Destroyed has a good art, it'd not as good as the other non-japanese arts imo.

[This Account is Unplayable]

Not like you have much to compare Destroyer to, if you're going with non-Jap art. A whopping 2 other cards.

I'd say exactly what I've said so far again, but Cursed (.Rai) explained it better than I could, already, so just read what he said.

[Airride]

Personally, I like the guy doing the TCG card arts, and although this is quite MtG-y, it's still good art, and I like it.

On the card, It looks nice, just a simple card that is effective and not quite broken. Solid.
