Battle Planet happened. Distribution was a mess. So they rebooted it again? Now we have Bakugan with a whole new coat of paint. Is it an upgrade? No, it's not. You won't even recognize it anymore.

I loved how in the orignal, the bakugan were in ball form, or in their open toy form. So if you had one on your desk, or shoulder, it would be the same as in the show. The giant monsters only show up while battling which just is awesome and show you imagine it as a kid

[@kucingnumpakalphardasli8178]

Yea, OG bakugan has two sides, cute when in toy form and awesome in monster form... But now making bakugan always in monster form only made it looks generic and boring

[@JunkoEnoshima.]

What i loved about the original is that while Bakugan was made to a game by humans (and also Vestals later) it was NOT a game at all. It was serious business, heck in the third season Gundalian Invaders there was a straight up WAR for gods sake

The powers and how they’re portrayed do, but that’s expected as time goes on…you’re going to figure out more stuff, better stuff. Use logic. All the seasons made sense and added up correctly. Whether or not you wanted it to be simple is the factor, and that’s where it started to get a little bit more complex in nature in some sense. Which people didn’t like.

I didn’t even know it was a card game until this year when I skipped around the episodes for Carmen Melville’s debut in Season 1, Ren Krawler’s debut in the final episode of New Vestroia (which, apparently Bakugan turned into Voltron and Zexal idk why), then his next appearance on episode 8 or 9 of Gundalian Invaders (which, apparently he has a Ryuga-esque backstory and Ryuto appearance (Ren also looks like the leader of Team Desert Blaze from Beyblade Metal Masters), AND they already went through the deception arc in less than 10 episodes. I have no idea why Ren’s VA changed from Kyoya to Tsubasa then back to Kyoya).

MY least favorite part about this whole system, is there will be zero "Playground bakugan" with this version. Its something beyblade failed at during the burst series, but luckily the shape of school chairs makes it work. But the BIG part of these games for the kids is "Can i play this with my friends at school?" Because getting to your friends' house isnt as easy to do but you see them everyday at school. This is what made old bakugan, yugioh, pokemon, beyblade, super popular. Your parents could get you 1 10-15 dollar product, and now your kid is occupied every lunch period, and they have something to do with their friends. Packing a beyblade or a ygo deck, or 1-2 bakugan and some field cards was SUPER easy. It took up a very small amount of space, and was extremely portable, while not taking anything AWAY from the experience. Beyblade the least so, but even then because the rules were so utterly simple, it was also really easy to *come up with your own way to play!* You could make a stadium out of dirt on the playground, or do it on the basketball court. Maybe you launch it down the slide, see how far it goes or whose bey reaches the bottom the fastest. Plus, most school chairs are roughly stadium shaped. With bakugan as long as you had the field cards and your bakugan itself, you could play literally anywhere that was a roughly flat surface. Desks, tables, the ground, didnt matter. However, with the new system, if you wanna use the spinning bits, you would need to use something roughly shaped like a stadium, but you also need the cards in the middle and that wont work on anything OTHER than the designed stadium, and aint no kid fitting that in their backpack and pulling it out at lunch. The ability to play the game practically anywhere massively affects how many return customers a product like this gets, and as-is their not gonna get a ton of those. Kids cant take these to school and play with them, cause the new field cards wont stick together unless they are held together, and so it just becomes a mess in the backback or on whatever surface you decide to use. The rules are too specific to be able to make up new ways to play, and the design of the toys is extremely rigid. these are not good playground toys, and thats not good.

Mechtanium surge was TERRIBLE. Like they had something at the beginning and after a couple episodes it was HORRIBLE. Gundalian invaders was the last good one especially the storyline in the beginning and middle with the princess it was actually REALLY GOOD. Idk what they’re doing now, like just go back to the old art and concept or nothing, it looks nothing like Bakugan now…

[@hyprostic]

@@Josephamirthe thing that really annoys me here is the switch from attributes to clans and drago’s new design. Gen 2 drago was alright and I prefer the look of these new bakugan compared to Gen 2 but oh my god they massacred drago. With Gen 2 you had a semblance to Gen 1 and yet was cool in its own way, with Gen 3 I literally cannot see any semblance to Gen 1 drago aside from the colour scheme 😭😭 - also the switch from his old leader personality is kinda unnecessary, it would’ve fit to have drago’s old personality of wisdom/leadership and avoiding conflict for the greater good of the bakugan. But yeah at the end of the day Mechtanium surge was what killed Gen 1, despite that I will say the designs for mechtanium surge were very cool and the premise of the first arc was good. It’s just the little details they started dropping e.g. no more gatecard set/G’s recorded (until the last battle). The addition of mechtagon and power creep really killed it tbh. - I loved the lore of Gen1 and felt they could’ve gotten a bit further before finally laying it to rest but after mechtanium surge I doubt they could do it properly.

Personally, I like the original Bakugan series more in aspects of both anime and toys. I'll admit that the reboots are trying and I respect the cast and crew for all their effort. However, the reboots seem to diverge more and more away from what made Bakugan, well, Bakugan. For example, the toys' play aspects tends to replicate that of Beyblade and overcomplicates it a little. The attributes seem more Pokemon like than the unique aspects of the Bakugan attributes. As for the characters personalities now, I'm not even sure how to describe how I feel about them to be honest. I understand that they need to evolve, change, keep up and appeal to new generations as well as their likes and dislikes but they need to do that without overly changing Bakugan's signature identity. I'm gonna still give new concepts a chance but I can't say that my like for the new concepts will hold even close to half the weight of love I have for the Original Series.

[@ChaoticNalilitoMC]

Alice is a sweet girl but she was pretty useless compared to Masquarade. I don't see many people comment about what happened to Lync so i'm not sure how many people care about it like i do. I'm also annoyed how easily Alice just forgot about him. Like he disappeared and she did nothing about it. Why didn't she try to find him? Sure he was the enemy and she didn't like him but at the same time it was foolish of her to not try to find him BECAUSE he was the enemy and she should of kept an eye on him and if she did that and kept interacting with Lync like she was already i think she would eventually see Lync's new behaviour and his character growth.

Yo thanks for your review on the anime! I think your point at 10:59 regarding the dissonance was exactly what I was feeling when watching the anime! There was this huge weird feel to it because of that.

[@SEGA_mementos]

Seriously you’re such a legend! Thank you for making such great content throughout the years!!!

[@chelmsford-ut6kn]

Something I loved about the first season of Bakugan is that it felt like something that kids would do with existing games. Like, we have this cool card game and a little bit of lore but there's no story so let's make our own. My friends and I would do the same with pokémon, Digimon, and yes Bakugan too. We take the lore of the games and make our own little stories as to why the battle's mattered.

[@lucaria6164]

I will sacrifice souls for them to continue the original story where Dan and Drago just randomly sail off to the sunset Give us the good things 😭😭😭

[@xlinkkaisaintsrow2365]

And bring back alice ffs

[@Eliz-zu3bd]

They should have just made a show about Alice and how she is her living life

[@neoshock1145]

I don't get how none on the production team or the higher ups get that kids just want to be cool if you make your game cool instead of goofy then people will play it

[@1MoreSonicRobot]

TC lookin like he joined Organization 13.

[@TheChocolatBlanc]

I remember watching so many vlogs about the 10 years anniversary/reboot. It was really hype.

[@mohezzy2ez555]

They already violated Dan thee first reboot, now they did it again

[@artliom1311]

I watched the new vestroya series in my childhood. But all I remember is cool bakugan designs and some sexy male antagonists 😄

[@see.you.space.cowboy03]

Obviously I love and miss the original Bakugan show and character designs but I really loved the designs from the 2018 show. It had a lot of character to the designs and the style was more distinct than both the original and new versions.

[@mephilesfan]

genuinely think they should hold a watch party for the entire company for og seasons 1 & 2 to remember why people liked it lmao

[@hailmendoza6106]

I give props to Bakugan i never thought they get this far. 😂

[@dashonyt703]

Yeah

[@TheLegoKid2003]

In my personal opinion, the only good thing about the first reboot (battle planet) is the fact we finally got a physical form for Leonidas. It's not the one from the original battle brawlers game, but eh.

[@Patrick-dogmove]

Insane collab! loved the vid

[@tuxedeoboi9155]

What they should have done with the anime is instead of rebooting it, they should have done what (yugioh/somewhat bayblade) did, and basically do spinoff sequel. That way the universe still feels connected you can have references here and there for nostalgia but also have a new cast and add new rules or whatever, and simply call it an evolution. instead of what they did with Dan & Drago. Like most of the new characters in G2 were neat (except knockoff masquerade #3) but the new Dan should have been a new protag. He genuinely annoyed me and made me wish for old Dan. But thats just my thoughts as someone who grew up with G1 bakugan as a younger kid

[@adamchu2001]

I still think the New Vestroia Version of Bakugan is the best one that they coulda made, like having one gate card active at one time and then alternating that between players (with a big gate card). Use an actual life meter to make it less ambiguous of just win 3 fights, which leads to spitballing. Adding in double abilities would be cool especially with a card limit so you have 5 ability cards and you have to choose which abilities to bring in tiers like T1, T2, Fusion with the early tiers being either element restricted or Bakugan Restricted and then the Fusion is open ended. This pushes the game into more about resource management and using health as a resource without the big problem of the bakugan miss the card constantly. Add in one Gimmick which is Battle Gear (Which has seperate Ability Cards from the 5 lock out) and then lock that to one Battle Gear. So there is the argument of do you want more elemental Bakugan but if you lose the matched element for the Battle Gear it becomes not helpful if the main KOd or double stacking one element for the ease of use. TLDR If you have not played the OG Bakugan on the Wii you probably never played the closest Bakugan ever got to the show.

[@jaredmichaud1160]

NGL, Gen 3 Drago looks like if AI was made to fuse OG Drago with Freddy Fazbear... Har harhar har har....

[@bigmoneycape]

the mf looks so clumsy

[@evaeva21000]

i loved the 1st gen also because i think they explained how the work and its rules so when you as a kid or teen played the game you basically already knew whats going on, also there was no arena just magnetic cards and the bakugan itself and i thnk it was WAY cheapper then this one ( i love when a show about games actually explains the game rules)

[@DawnLong-s3k]

28:54 Gosh, how tall is Nillious? He is absolutely massive in this screenshot. I'm kinda glad that he isn't real. Otherwise, we all should panic.

[@ohlove0]

I kinda like the second half of the anime, yeah there's a LOT that can be done good and I just wish it was more like a new generation rather than just rebooting everything and reusing characters

[@arcanehumanoidtyphoon]

Well made video and pretty much summed up. Bakugan is very interesting place.

[@SecondBestArtMuseum]

There was a Bakugan reboot? Also, there's another reboot?! Is it a reboot of the reboot?

[@shogunspear9739]

This new reboot feels like something animated for when Jetix was still a thing

[@alicevioleta3184]

which is funny because the original was on the last run of jetix lol

[@sirmel11]

Beyblade is so so good. I freaking loved Beyblade Burst. I'm guessing it did well enough since they're bringing X over to America this year.

[@Ginxed-coffee]

I miss Dan’s brown eyes… there is so few anime characters with dark eyes and I just miss it so much-

[@michaelno1865]

why are rhe new bakugan designs look like it was designed by a furry bara artist???? 😭😭😭 i like them but why???

[@Will_Morand]

The first generation of Bakugan continues to be the best. I refuse to acknowledge anything that happened with the franchise after the defeat of Hal G.

[@cadenza6686]

I can only acknowledge S1 and S2, new vestroia shouldve had more inclusion of the old cast, although that may be the child inside me that still had a small crush on Julie, although I just prefer S1 over S2

[@generalgrievous262]

Look at how they massacred my boy...

[@XavierZara]

12:20 Destroians gain superpowers when paired with humans, Superman gains powers in proximity of a yellow sun

[@geethenerd]

Have you thought about doing Monsuno??? I remember that the opening was a banger

[@yuutaruu4242]

Irk, there is already a Monsuno video on his channel. But if I'm mixing it up with someone else's video, I apologise in advance

[@lucassousa-nm1qm]

Oh shit!!! Cimoooooo and team aps are we sure this wasn't the Yu-gi-oh

[@manyppI2]

This is a funny video to watch after walking home from the mall after digimon tcg locals, lol

[@EpicMTGMusic]

And the lesson we learn is: KIDS, never trust in Capitalist toys and just play with sticks and stones.

[@jacobjames4537]

2007 Will forever be THE Bakugan

[@Bravebird9]

Cries in Cardfight Vanguard and thier incessant need to always reboot it.

[@gundambassexe31]

I loved the bakugan gen 2-3 tv shows tbh . Haven't played it but it's not for oldies only 😅😅😅

[@lyllymoreland2800]

Gen 1: Yey! Gen 2: Yey! Gen 3: Only watched the first episode because I got bored of it.

[@christopherford39]

As someone who watched gen 3, I'd say it's good, but for most, it would be mid

[@jstarterdragons563]

I remember watching the Bakugan show as i kid, liked it quite a lot. Re-watched a lot of stuff years later on youtube as well. seeing the new series has given me a thought/idea for the series, but I seriously doubt it would be done properly given how companies are more profit motivated these days if they attempted it. The idea is a kind of remaster of the original series. using it as a template, everything will be refined without changing its core elements. So it would largely be the same story and characters. But with this small things can be added and changed to enhance the story over all. Later sessions can be foreshadowed better with more consistent elements. They could find ways to make better use of characters that were not used much originally either (never liked how they ditched half the main cast after the original season). over all we should get more of what we originally loved rather than loosing anything. they could even use the change to make the game mechanics a bit more complicated, adding to what as originally there so there can be more actual strategy to the game. (latter seasons would probably be change more because of the domino affect) there are probably a lot of things that could be added if i thought about it deeply, but yeah, i doubt any of this will every happen. As i said before, if they did it would probably get interfered with and ruined by corporate.

[@nizumablader]

If kids can play complex video games like fortnite I think they can handle a toyline with instructions. I think toy companies underestimate kids ability to use brain cells.

[@usonohoshi6165]

Dang... Didn't know that they even rebooted. Now I'm hearing it's their second time. And hearing possibly why is a bit sad.

[@makkabeech]

I remember Bakugan, I don't think my brother and I ever got into it. We were beyblade fans. We use to launch those things like weapons. Couldn't do that with bakugan.

[@zekromfusion6319]

Can they just buy the rights from sega and go with that one? These last two have been atrocious
