Bakugan: Battle Planet

I remember watching the original first season. When Battle Planet was released I was very disapointed. It didn't had anything from the original. Well it had Dan and Drago, but they were just shells of the original once. The new squad is very bad. The fused Shun and Mrucho and we got this weird aquos Shun thing. Also I can't get over with how ugly these CGI bakugan are. The original was enjoyable for even teens and adults but this is just for 4-9 year olds. Also Dan is nothing like the original. Also the series was made in America. So it's no longer anime, I think.

Now before you say "But Bakugan is my childhood", "CN make a good reboot, are you high?" "It's decent but they barley air it" or some other crap like that just shut up. And on a side note, I made IMDB list of other good reboots on CN. Anyways what I like about this Bakugan is that the battles are more engaging to watch. I know it's par for the course for trading card anime to play out a more epic version of the game in show but at the end of the day it is them just playing the game. The original show was like that too but here the bakugan have more range to fight when compared to the turn based style of the first show, the kids can pitch in by throwing power up baku-cores that can either power or heal a bakugan so the kids aren't rendered useless, plus it also ties into the rules of the new game. Speaking of which checkout the new toys their pretty cool. I also like the 11 minute run time it's rare for an anime to do that and considering that most other card game shows could have been this short if the the meat of the action (the card games) wasn't just playing the game (which that type of format is good but it's great to break away from it every now and then). I like the new look of the creatures since they are basically toys they have a mechanical look to them which is a nice attention to detail. The characters are typical but likable and act more like actual kids, kinda like Craig of the creek. Over all this show is a lot more engaging and fun to watch than some other card game anime in past years like Scan 2 go and Monsuno that aired on Nicktoons. I look forward tot seeing the Bakugan brand grow.

As a big Bakugan fan I am, I gave Battle Planet a try (on a kids channel called Pop), but 2 or 3 episodes in I disliked it and think it's garbage. The theme song doesn't bring as much hype, as the original theme did, the Bakugans all look robotic, less organic, instead of the looking like actual Animals or mythical creatures or Aliens or other compared to the original series, the characters are boring and childish. They ruined Shun Kazami's & Dan Kuso's characters, I prefer the original Dan & Shun over the new ones, they should have just made new characters instead, the animation looked more like a western world animation, rather than a actual Japanese Anime.

This show is very childish, very kiddy friendly, in the original series, it was more grown up as the seasons went on and more mature.

I'm sorry But as a OG Bakugan Fan Bakugan Bakugan Brawlers, New Vestroia, Gundalian Invaders and Mechtanium Surge Arc 1/2 will always out beat Battle Planet.

Bakugan:Battle Planet is trash.

It isn't much compared to the original. When I see they rebooted the show I was very excited. But this show is obviously catered to smaller kids. The story line is not engaging and you hold no attachment. The animation is very weak. I really wish they would've try to revive the old show. Or at least tried to have some kinda story arc other than how do we get views on the internet.

The reboot of Bakugan is not worth watching. The animation is weak, so line isn't that great and the bakugan battles are confusing. The Original Bakugan is much better then this lame and cheap reboot.
