爆丸バトルブローラーズ
Mysterious cards came down from the sky one day. Capable of summoning powerful creatures from another dimension, they became the centerpiece of a new game called Bakugan. The game gained instant popularity among children and teenagers, with the best of them competing in a worldwide ranking. Meanwhile, war for domination over Vestroia, the homeland of Bakugan cards, rages on. Invaded by the White Dragon Naga and his servants, the Doom Beings, the realm becomes increasingly destabilized. Dimensions begin to merge and many Bakugan players come to realize that their pastime is not merely a game. Danma Kuusou, one such Bakugan player, intends to become the World Ranking's leader someday. However, during one of his fights he experiences a vision of a clash in Vestroia. The fight suddenly moves to Earth, where Danma comes into possession of a talking, mighty fire Bakugan, Pyrus Dragonoid. He soon gets dragged into the conflict, and together with his Bakugan Brawlers team, must traverse the dimensions and restore balance in a ravaged world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Alright, I thought I'd take the time and effort to write a review on a series I just recently finished(due to long breaks from it in order to do other things), and personally found very enjoyable, Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Now, this series gets a lot of hate, and I can see where some people are coming from when they say it's a rip-off of Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon. However, in reality, I don't feel that way. There are quite a few things in this anime that really make it stand out from all those others that people compare it too, so let's take a little timeto talk about it. STORY: Alright, so the story of Bakugan Battle Brawlers is pretty much something most people would expect. Evil person trying to destroy the world and they have to use the Bakugan to save it. However, the story still gives twists and tweaks that really set Bakugan apart. However, if you don't watch past a certain point, you'll never get caught up in the story, and that's probably why most people akin it to most other animes that it's similar to, they just don't watch far enough into the story. Bakugan is one of those anime that you have to watch long enough to get into the actual story in order to set it apart from other anime, and once you do, it's very good. People really need to give it a second chance and watch farther into the anime. ART: I'll be the first to admit, the art of Bakugan Battle Brawlers is similar to a lot of anime. However, it's also very good and the way it's drawn plays out the battles very well. I think the animator did a great job. Enough detail to differentiate Bakugan and add to the experience of the show, but not so much detail that it simply blows you away when you see it. Sure, I love beautiful art and great detail as much as the next girl(or guy) when it comes to my anime, but Bakugan's art is, in my opinion, excellent without being excessive. Now, I had to watch the English version, so for me the only problem was the way the voices wouldn't match the lips, as Zoki-chan said in her review of the series. Kudos to the artist of Bakugan! SOUND: Now, I can't say much here, since I DID have to watch the EV(anyone who can give me links to download/stream the JV will be much appreciated :3), but I will admit that the opening song for the EV is rather catchy, and got stuck in my head. Some of the music during the battles is pretty good, as well. However, my lack of Knowledge of the music of the JV made me have to give sound a lower rank than the other aspects of the anime. Though, I'd love to hear some of the JV's music :3 CHARACTER: Alright, so I'm sure you're all wondering why Character is the only aspect of this show that got a perfect 10 for me? Well, let me put it this way, Bakugan did a great job on its characters. Sure, they have some generic stereotypes in there, but at the same time they managed to differentiate their characters and make all the main characters lovable and easy to get attached to. The characterization of Bakugan is amazing, even though it doesn't give much development. Though, most animes of this type don't really give much development. However, the characters are still great in this series, even the Bakugan have character! ENJOYMENT AND OVERALL: So, overall, I think Bakugan is a great series that's definitely worth checking out. Sure, it's got its flaws, but I don't think it deserves the hate it gets. If people would actually give it a shot, they'd find it's not as much of a rip-off, or as terrible and generic as they think it is. I found myself addicted to it, and even got the game for my Wii :3 I'm moving on to New Vestroia now, and best believe I'll be writing a review for that one once I finish it! Anyway, that ends this review. Ja ne, minna!~

Though I see why lots of people call this series something between Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh but much less entertaining, I wouldn't call it an anime I dislike, seeing as I actually took the time to watch it till the end. I think only Runo spoiled my enjoyment, because seriously, she annoys me with her blabber-mouthed nonsensical talk. I am also aware of the fact that being one of lucky few who actually understand HOW to play the game, it wouldn't be necessary to deny the fact that the gameplay and rules are a bit confusing. It came off somewhat unoriginal or inconsistent, but it was funwatching it. I also liked watching certain duels where the characters are able to think of ways on countering the ability summoned by the opponent, and the different uses of each card also fascinated me. My only disappointment was the fact that Alice was my favorite character, and everytime she wouldn't go into battle like the others did, it felt unfair because she was, after all a part of the group. This series may have its ups and downs, but I think I will continue watching till New Vestroia.

I still remember to cherish this season because I still remember watching this show right before school. I loved everything from character to character. The way they respond to each other is very sociable. I love every emotion in the series because It helps tells you that its not only a toy its an honorable show to watch. Yes its amazing because of how friendship can help you through life. Especially when your down feeling moody you'll love the fact that good always overcomes evil. I didn't dislike anything about it either. I also liked It because the action has kept me veryopen about this anime.

This is the magnum opus of Yugioh clones. A true testament to how far we have come as a species. If there was one thing I could salvage as the sun becomes a red supergiant and consumes the earth, it'd be a box set of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers. The story is about a young man named Dan maturing with his plastic magnet dragon toy thing and his friends. It truly feels like a satisfying adventure with a phenomenal ending. The characters are not mere generic shounen tropes, they have transcended reality itself and end up feeling so real and fleshed out that you could reach in andcaress Dragonoid's scaly nipples. The animation came straight out of a Van Gogh painting, truly capturing the emotional weight of each scenario. True greatness. The soundtrack must have been stolen from the archive of unused compositions from Ludwig van Beethoven. Truly a masterful collection of pieces. Overall this show is one of the true gems of the modern era, I urge everyone to watch this show so they can become redpilled like I have.
