    The pinnacle

    The pinnacle of Yugi-oh clones is this. An authentic demonstration of the progress our species has made. A box set of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers would be the one item I could save when the sun turns into a red supergiant and devours the earth.

    The narrative centers on the maturation of a young man named Dan via the help of his friends and a plastic magnet dragon toy. It seems like a really fulfilling journey with an amazing conclusion.

    The characters are so genuine and fully developed that you feel as though you could reach in and caress Dragonoid's scaled nipples. They are not just basic shounen clichés. Instead, they have transcended reality itself.

    The animation perfectly captured the emotional impact of each situation, looking right out of a Van Gogh painting. Real excellence.

    The soundtrack appears to have been pilfered from Ludwig van Beethoven's collection of unfinished works. Truly a wonderful collection of pieces.

    All things considered, this show is one of the real jewels of the contemporary era, and I strongly recommend watching it so that others may share my red-pilled experience.

    Bakugan is good

    For starts I don't get why so many people just start hating on this because it has similarities to Pokemon.

    I haven't watched Bakugan for a few years nor I was able to watch the other serse after it because I lost track due to only having cable TV for a whole year.

    But I remember watching when it first came out. Both me and my sister used to enjoy it. Even my dad found an abandoned Bakugan toy at a chinese restaurant once and gave it to me.

    Believe it or not I even had a fantasy of Pokemon and Bakugan having a crossover.

    Straight to the point doesn't matter which came out first. If you enjoy it thats all that matters.

    Did what it needed to do in order to satisfy its target audience.

    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"

    Try the sub version or give the dub a chance

    I read a lot of the reviews here and they all make fair points. I do have to say if you just started or maybe intersted, it's not going to give you every perfect detail.I rather not even call this a ripoff, it's supposed to sell it's product, and didn't all the other shows do exactly thatr? Bakugan battle Brawlers Season 1 does take elements from other series but builds upon itself overtime to create have good character development, and to bring something new or different that the other shows didn't particularry have. I give this show a 10 because I actually spent time watching it and found to be engaing and teach lessons. I enjoyed as a kid and I still do now, especially with the 2018/2019 Bakugan Battle Planet reboot coming up. By the way, I do suggest watching the sub version at least once because they do handle the show better and include better audio and voice acting. So in general, give it a chance and if you hate still then that's ok. It shouldn't be hated because it was trying to sell toys. Pokemon, beyblade, yugioh, yokai watch all did that too.

    • Trivia
      Billy, the Subterra brawler, has a very similar appearance to Ash Ketchum in Pokémon. Billy wore Ash's Indigo League hat from Season 1 in Pokémon, Billy throws a Bakugan similar to Ash's throwing style: a a backwards turn of the cap, then saying the command. On top of these things, Billy and Ash both have high, and particularly annoying voices.
