Out of the field comes a giant praying mantis monster. Shuji throws a brown and yellow marble on the field and calls his Bakugan to stand which prompts the marble to open into a little monster form. While in the weird multi-colored purgatory dimension, Dan and Shuji draw one more card each to set their gate cards, which grow to the size of a soccer field and materialize face down. They each draw a card and call the field to open, which sends Dan and Shuji into another dimension and stops time….Why did the many governments of the world not take these cards again? Shuji states that his specialty is Subterra space, something Dan’s never even heard of before, and they start their battle. I don’t know why they’re keeping in all of these Japanese names, yet they altered Dan’s name to being short for Daniel instead of his real name of Danma. He then runs off to meet a little runt named Akira whom he supposedly had a Bakugan match with, but Akira reveals that he’s switched with his big brother, a towering thug named Shuji. Our main character, Dan, arrives home and goes through his little marble things that all look exactly the same yet he can tell them apart somehow. I like the melody and instrumentation, but the lead singer just sounds horribly generic and the lyrics are the exact same BS that plagues nearly every show similar to this – never give up, power’s in your hand, blah blah blah. That could’ve been an episode all its own.Īfter our intro narration, we get our theme song, which is a really mixed bag.
It’s just so much to take in in a matter of about 45 seconds. These beasts also exist in an alternate dimension called Vestroia where they battle each other all the time and might be at war for some reason.Īnd what do these kids being the Bakugan Battle Brawlers have to do with it, besides the fact that they play the game? The cards held the spirits of monsters and, when released, the beasts took on the forms of…transformable marbles that you could shoot onto a playing field, allowing you to release them into a more formal beast state, and they conveniently also work with the game that the kids made up? Hotshot himself, Shun, Julie and Alice we are the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!”ĭid you get all that? Because holy crap that’s a lot of backstory for a first episode plot snippet.Ĭards suddenly fell from the sky all over the world, and instead of being investigated by any government or being confiscated, all the kids just picked up the cards and decided to make a game out of it while the parents and other adults just accepted it. My name is Dan, and together with my friends Runo, Marucho, Mr. An even bigger battle is taking place in an alternate universe called Vestroia. The battles were intense, and, if you chose the wrong card, you lost it and the beast inside.īut that’s only half the story. Together with my new online friends from around the world, we invented a wicked new game that we called ‘Bakugan.’ That’s when the power of the cards was revealed.Įach one of them held their own battling beast which came alive when you threw it down. And it was happening all across the world. At first, we didn’t know where they were coming from or who sent them – we only knew they were more than just ordinary playing cards. You see, cards started dropping from the sky – coming down like rain.
Let’s start out with seriously just parroting the opening lines word for word.ĭan: “I know this is going to sound weird, but one day my whole world changed. My opinions ended up…….well, let’s find out.
I have a soft spot for gaming anime either way, so I felt like I needed to give it a shot. I think I finally understand what parents felt like when we tried to explain Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon and Pokemon to them. Bakugan: Battle Brawlers looked like a very dumb show to me from the instant I saw a trailer for it. However, the world from which the Bakugan originate is in danger, and it’s up to Bakugan players such as the hotheaded upstart Dan and his friends to save it.īreakdown: I’m not going to sugarcoat this. A group of kids decided to make a game out of the mysterious cards and monsters, and Bakugan was born. Cards just suddenly started raining from the sky across the world, and some of the cards contained monsters which could be summoned by the card wielders.
The origins of the Bakugan are a complete mystery. Plot: Bakugan is the latest gaming craze across the globe, but it’s not just any old kids game.
