Bakugan Battle Brawlers

My Top No. 1 favourite, Sci-fi and Fantasy Anime Shows of all time since Childhood. I even made Shun Kazami my fantasy husband to hehe.

I recently rewatched this series, which I used to enjoy a while back. Overall, it was decent. The animation quality was mediocre, and the storyline centered around the typical theme of saving the world, which is common in most shounen anime.

I had a hard time finding the original Japanese dubbed version, but eventually, I found it, and it was definitely better than the English dub. The performances by the Japanese voice actors were compelling.

The opening and ending songs were okay, but not particularly memorable. The action scenes were basic, and while there wasn't much in terms of adventure, the world-building aspect of Vestroia was well done, even though it was only showcased for a short period.

Overall, I would recommend it.

Amazing story and amazing to watch. The story made me cry at the end.

I enjoyed the show. It's logical and it's great.

The characters are interesting and childish which makes it funnier, and best of all, what I probably enjoyed more than the story is the brawls. The rules of the game are awesome, you can look them up online. They make the game about strategy which means you have to predict your opponent's next few moves.

The plot is cool, it adds to the show and is creative.

As for People on here saying it's inconsistent are making ridiculous claims, and their reviews should not be taken seriously as most of them themselves have hardly watched 2 episodes.

If you carry on in the show, these "inconsistencies" will start to become clearer on what the characters meant at the time of saying it.

What sets aside my review from the other (justified) negative reviews for this show is that I was the target demographic at the initial time of broadcast.

People compare Bakugan to shows like "Pokemon", "Beyblade" and "Yu- Gi-Oh" describing it as either ripping them off or following in their "terrible" footsteps. However this works for this show and the three aforementioned shows all had similar target audiences and were successful in satisfying them.

This puts these comparisons in a very favorable light for Bakugan.

The show itself lacks substance, depth and common sense when viewed through the eyes of an adult but for a child, these traits do not constitute a good show. They constitute a bad show that requires more brainpower to understand and enjoy.

Bakugan taken at face value is a very poor show clearly designed to push toys to children however, it does this extremely well.

I remember enjoying this show a large amount and would urge any parent or older sibling to allow a younger child who has rejected "better" animes in the past the chance to watch something they will enjoy.

This show on its own: 3/10

This show for children: 7/10 as it still falls short of other similar shows like "Pokemon", "Beyblade" and "Yu-Gi-Oh"
