AniWorthBattle Spirits: Shounen Toppa Bashin
Introduction
Energetic and thrill-seeking sixth grader Toppa Bashin has his mind set on only one thing—the card game Battle Spirits. Bearing a ruby pendant inherited from his missing father, Bashin heads to school every day with excitement: not for academics, but for card battling, much to the chagrin of his peers.
One day, Bashin encounters J, the child prodigy champion of Battle Spirits, who bears a similar pendant. Star-struck, Bashin challenges J to a battle. However, the battle he gets is one he did not anticipate; the two are teleported to a mysterious arena in the sky—the Isekai World—where Spirits from the game become real.
Feeling that his dream is finally within arm's reach, Bashin dives headfirst into the Isekai World, encountering other card battlers with extraordinary pendants. While making his way to the top, he slowly realizes that there is more to Battle Spirits than he ever imagined.

Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin is a very cute show, I'd say it's card game Medabots. Like there's this very down to earth element among the sheer supernatural of it all. And also it's a very good looking show with the Miho Shimogasa designs. What a way to be a first entry to a kids anime franchise.
Watching Bashin and his friends grow in their school lives as they just try to become the top card battlers, it's such a great vibe on top of the supernatural element with the talking animals with pyroxenes and the weird people they have to battle to get X rares.
In some ways it does show its age though with the 3d models of the spirits specifically. I have no problem with the fact they don't explain the rules. It's very interesting to see how people read those elements as a negative whe…

I would not recommend this anime unless you're already familiar with the card game. They don't explain the rules of the game in this show so I expect it would be fairly confusing for a newcomer.
Going into this I had pretty low expectations but I was very surprised! The quality of writing, animation, pacing and music was pretty good, and I ended up really enjoying the show.
The characters are realistic - kids act like kids and adults act like adults. It's a nice breath of fresh air after years of typical, tropey middle schoolers being more mature than adults. And there's actual, real, character growth! I was so surprised.
There's one character that has the funniest japanglish I've ever heard. All the randomly mixed in english words and overpronounced "desu"s were super funny.
The over…

This is a card game (obviously) about young kids. The main characters are obvious at what they are going to become (proxyenes). Up to episode 24 is actually good, they introduce the characters and the question marks (supposed to give you card if you win) I liked. It introduces how they get a little team and the early battles to ep24 are good you can actually follow on with what they are doing. The rules and everything of the cards and effects aren't really explained though till last ep, but the first half is good though there really are no new cards released till a dude named smile gets introduced.
After he is introduced a lot of new cards are introduced, way more than first half, it gets a little bit more difficult to follow, but not that much. The story gets more interesting when smile…

Shounen Toppa Bashin is a card fighting genre anime series. In this Bashin is 6th grader, who is fond of playing Battle Spirits, which he learnt from his mother. He likes this game more than his studies. He motivates others to play it for pure enjoyment of battle spirits. So in this process he befriends J, Striker and Suiren. It picked my interest to see how a mouse ( aibou) is able to talk with Bashin using a gem Pyroxen. Each of these had an animal which can talk to them through Pyroxene. Story progress with series of tournaments.
Art: Very clean and good. Animation of the characters was drawn good i.e., from lines of their facial features etc is nice.
Music : Both Opening and Ending songs were good. Especially first half of the series had good ending song.
Characters: I saw this anim…

This series has no reviews, so I figured I might as well write one, as it's a favorite of mine.
Story:
Admittedly, not the strongest part of this anime. It's very much a slice-of-life series, and that's not one of my favorite genres. With a few exceptions, I have a hard time staying interested in a series with no overall objective. There is a little bit of plot, but the series probably would have been stronger if it jumped into it earlier on.
Art:
I love the art. Besides just being plain cute (expected from the same designer responsible for Powerpuff Girls Z) the designs are very unique. Some of the characters have crazy hair, such as Striker's scythe and Number Nine's fish head. The art generally flows well too. There are a few episodes where the quality is noticeably lower, but genera…
