Bakugan, yes, Bakugan Battle Brawlers is in every child's heart. Especially the Eastern European ones(like me) who waited so much to come from school, to find Bakugan rolling on CN or any other channel. Every child remembers how desperate it was for Bakugan toys, and how this show made you feel. There are no words to express this show, it's a 2000's anime, about some children that found themselves in a day, in a rain of small balls like toys and cards, and rapidly finding that they can actually play with them, in matches and have fun.
"Bakugan brawl!" is the iconic phrase in every boy's head.
Characters awesome, story miraculous, art and sounds not that interesting, as it was a 2000's anime, but enjoyment will forever remain 10/10, just for the special that it has inflicted in every child'…

Bakugan Battle Brawlers was a huge part of my childhood, so that is the first reason why I gave it such a high score. The second reason was that behind the "Pokemon-ish" themes of combat and nostalgia lay an awesome story.
The series may have existed just to sell toys, it did a very good job at that. The Battle Brawlers were likeable and relatively well-rounded for characters sticking to archetypes. The Bakugan themselves were also interesting, with relatively decent world building of Vestroia.
The combat system was engaging and I'm impressed by how organized the community was in laying down the rules of battle (they even have the technology). There were also some dramatic stakes as losing caused some consequences. Sure those consequences aren't as huge as more dramatic shows, but there…

Aaaahhhhh nostalgia. Honestly the only reason I watched this anime XD
I don't know how there are so many reviews giving this anime a ten it honestly sucks lol. This is like, the Spiderman (the original trilogy) of anime. Let's jump into some pros.
So the story is kind of creative. Obviously the coolest thing about the anime is the merch. Those little balls that open up on cards are super cool and are a blast to play with. This show is very funny in the way that Spiderman is. As in, the cringe, the nonsensical lines and scenes that you get from the characters are so ridiculously cheesy that they're funny. I guess? This anime is still really confusing.
Everything else is really bad. Just watch the OP and you'll understand why the story is so trashy. The animation is awful, the characters d…

When I watched it , it was one of the best Cartoon/Anime ever. Everyone used to talk about it. People used to play imaginary bakugan in the class or on the bus or outside when they didn't have the toys with them. I visit review sites to review this gem of an anime and I find really bad reviews about how the animation is bad, or the story is bad or how the characters are not developed properly or how the game makes no sense, that's absurd! First of all the game makes perfect sense.
The Game:
You set two gate cards , you set your bakugan, and make them battle, if your life points are lower , you can activate special ability cards , or activate the ability of your gate cards! It's a lot easier to understand than Yu gi oh . Coz we use the same set of cards almost for every element, just in…

Story: 9/10
I gave the story a 9 because I found the story to be engaging and fun to watch. The reason I didn't give it a ten is that I found that after episode 40 the story became dull and a bit boring.
Character: 10/10
I gave the characters a ten because they made the series enjoyable. Although all the characters are stereotypes of something, each character is unique from each other. My favorite character is Masquerade. He was just amazing every time he showed up.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I gave enjoyment a 9 because I enjoyed the show almost all the way through, except for a few moments.
Overall: 9/10
But overall, I believe that you should give this anime a try. I think it's worth your time and you'll enjoy it.

The plot features Dan and his friends who invent a new game, after witnessing a strange event; this game consists of three-round fights, in which the players have cards and as a weapon for balls to put in the playing field which, when opened, turn into the Bakugan. Bakugans are monsters from another dimension and playing cards have a particular scope that corresponds to a natural element, such as fire, water, light, etc.
The plot consists of these kids who have to save the world from the wicked who use the Bakugan for their shady purposes.
The anime of which children and kids from 10 years up go crazy is nothing more than a simple mixture of other products of the same kind, such as "Yu Gi Oh". "Bakugan", to me, is just another publicity stunt from which the authors derive a lot of money th…

this is the show that got me into anime I still have all of my toys and every time I see it I get a wave of nostalgic goodness. this may be a clone but its great to watch for some good old stupid fun. this is the best clone and its way better than yu gi oh by a long shot. its a little outdated but you can get a good laugh out of it. the dubb has lots of cheesy lines and the voice actors are generic so is the animation.
short story:
1.its a generic shonen
2.funny dub
3.the show is short and fun to watch.

I loved this anime as a child I remember watching the latest episodes on TV before I went to school. This anime may get a lot of hate or from what I have seen it does and it's those peoples opinions but I want to say that I loved this anime.
My favourite character would have to be Shun although he does kind of remind me of Sasuke from Naruto he stood out for me I guess my little child self thought he was pretty cool.
And thats one thing I loved about the anime is Shun's interactions with Dan I don't know why but I loved the interactions between the two and looked forward to it while watching the series.

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 and caress 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 o…

This anime gives me an immense feeling of nostalgia because it is the first anime I've ever seen in my life
Watching this show as a kid brings back memories of how much I enjoyed watching it. It truly was amazing to my 7 year old self
However, if you watch the anime when you're older or look at it upon further inspection and critique you realize that the show was just mediocre
Being older I have more experience in really good shows and now that I look at this show again It isn't as good my 7 year old self thought
Art design is very bland and story isn't that bad, but it does borrow a lot of aspects from other anime. It lacks originality and for that I give it a 6

I remember watching this show as a kid and loving it. Though today I don't think is as good as 7 year old me did I find myself enjoying it.
The Story
It is fairly generic. But, I do think that though it is generic it still does it's story alright. So I give it a 6/10.
The Art
Standard.
5/10.
The Sound You know for a kid's show the dub is not all that bad. Also that theme song is pretty damn good. What are gonna do? The odds are stacked against you! 5/10
The Character
This is one of those shows where even though the characters are generic, I still fell that every character has a defined personality. But why would it get a 9/10 from me? One word. Masquerade. I will talk about him later to avoid spoilers but, he is one of my favorite characters.
My Enjoyment
I just had fucking fun with t…

An amazing bond of friendship is formed between the main characters Dan and Drago. I think that if you love having a sister, bother, cousin or best friend that you can trust and that will stand by your side in the worst times. Well, I think you will want to see this anime and meet the other characters; Shun, Alice, Marocho, Runo, Julie and their bakugan friends.

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 very open about this anime.

To be honest, I only watched this anime because I fell in love with Shun. It's the only reason, in my opinion, what keeps me from giving this anime a 2. But overall, the 1st season was actually enjoyable. I'd watch it again...if I was bored. And yes, it does have those yu-gi-oh and Pokémon rip-offs you guys have been hearing, but just give the 1st season a try. However, if you can handle the characters COMPLETLY over looking the obvious from time to time, you'll HATE this anime.

Well Bakugan the first series was an ok series to watch. Even though Dan and Drago seemed to be like the Pokemon Ash and Pikachu. It feels like it is nothing but pokemon and Yu-gi-oh blended together as one to create this series. But The main villian was one of the best villians I seen in a while. This series does make the charcaters grow up a bit to understand their flaws. The finale felt like a great one if they didn't jump to a new series which throws off some whom thought the series was over. Overall I think it is an ok series if you are bored or something then watch this series. it may not be the best but it does ease some tenseness.

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 fun watching 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…

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 time to 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 tw…

I first saw Bakugan when I had to watch my cousins, they were obsessed with it so I decided to see what it was about. I thought it was going to be a yugioh " must explain every move I make in great detail " kind of show , but it wasnt , it was actually pretty enjoyable. The story is kind of like yugioh at the start of the show so if youre not a fan of yugioh then it may be hard to sit through, but just bear it because the storyline changes and it gets intense in some episodes. The art is well done , the actually bakugan creatures are very creative. I was watching the english dub so the voices are either decent or unbearable, but that doesnt really take away from the enjoyment of the show. Characters are either intresting or unbearable, it all depends on the viewer. Overall Bakugan is an ea…

The series is like your typical kids show. There are subtle differences, but not much. If you like cute and tough characters and shows like Digimon and Pokemon, then you should feel right at home with Bakugan.
I do warn you, however, the english cast is sometimes dreadful.
