I will say, Beyblade has had like… 4 reboots now. They nailed it the first time, granted, but they were better at innovating the toys too. Going from plastic to metal saga is a massive jump, then we get burst saga which itself was very different, and now we have X saga which merges the metal and burst series while still having a unique flair. They have had several tries to get it right, bakugan only got one.

Anything with a decent story has bad viewership on the actual channels (older fans use online sources) so they focus on the toy sellers. All the cool shows we liked as kids were cancelled because they didn't sell toys enough, it's so dumb.

[@SurePerspective]

Fr and Baku Tech was so much better than this

[@wavewingman5993]

The thing that always bothered me more than anything, (which is addressed in the video), is the lack of strategy in the reboot. Granted, it's important to realize that beginning in New Vestroia and ramping WAY up in the seasons following it, the original show was increasingly less about strategy and more about the Bakugan playing a random number of Ability Cards per turn, and someone won when the plot arbitrarily decided that their attack landed without being blocked or evaded. Seriously, there was no cap on the number of Ability Cards you could play, and that meant nobody ever had a good reason to STOP playing Ability Cards in a turn. That shit was ridiculous. It got so bad that by Mechtanium Surge, there were no G-power levels at all, and Gate Cards and Ability Cards only affected the action setpieces, not the game, because there was no game by that point. However, despite the show becoming less about strategy, we still have Season 1, where the show was ALL about strategy. While they didn't use any of the real-life cards, the game played in the show matched the rules of the real card game exactly, and every card had a specific effect. Card placement, Ability Card timing, the power of your shots, it all played a factor in Season 1, and that was what made it cool. So really, the problem isn't that the reboot has no strategy, the problem is that Bakugan hasn't been about strategy since Season 1 (Not counting Bakutech, which was easily the most strategy-based Bakugan anime) and the reboot did nothing to fix that existing problem.

[@LuciferArc1]

Yeah. The whole point of card games....is strategy. Without it, good luck lasting

[@silverfox8917]

Ill give legacy season 2 this, traps were better in the show than irl cause they were a workaround if your main bakugan got ability locked, attribute change irl is such an easy thing to do, especially with the number of special treatment bakugan that can easily change to the attribute that you need relevant to battle (not to mention ability cards)

[@Thevampireprincess61]

Thank you!!! Im a big fan of the original series, have been since highschool, but i watched it for the plot. Dan was always my favorite, so season 4 was interesting since he fell off his high horse. But i always liked the shows' gradual development and that it actually does have stakes that have consequences. ( im a huge yugioh nerd too so i liked the similarity, otherwise these shows are no fun. ) But i loved that they can interact with their bakugan and have connections with them. Even during a fight. Yugioh DM, Gx, and 5ds didn't do that very often. So there's the big difference. And we got to see them in normal life more often, outside of battles. We know dans parents and runos parents and their personalities. Dans mom especially was cool to see her learn about the bakugaun being real and also interacting with drago and then the vestals. It's refreshing. All in all, i loved bakugan battle brawlers. I've not watched much of this one due tooooo..... well, your vid explains it.

I honestly despise how they never brought back the OG battle system. The 3x2 gatecard system where every brawler only had 3 gatecards to use and couldn't just blow them all if the opponent caught onto your strategy. Even if they didn't explain the system thoroughly, you can see its rules are consistent throughout every battle. It's cool how most battles also explained the strategies and the drawbacks that occur. My favourite is Alice vs. Klaus and Alice wastes all 3 gatecards on creating stalemates. Once she used them all up, she had no choice but to play on Klaus' terms and ultimately lost because he still had his signature gatecard. Definitely didn't make much sense as a kid, but looking back it was so in-depth and the creators actually cared for the game.

@@wheezemeupok Vrains was solid for the first and second seasons, but yeah SEVENS and GO RUSH suck. Arc V also sucked, but like GX, 5Ds, and Vrains are all pretty solid, though definitely not phenomenal. Zexal is… it exists, I’ll give it that. It’s not the shite that is Arc V but the first half is so mediocre. The second half I don’t remember.

@@wheezemeup if the respect part is about yugioh seven,I mean is not bad,is not first and third gen but it is good and the new way to play (rush duel) is a fucking blast,I fill like a kid again when I actually had hope for the world,seriously rush duel is one of the best ideas they ever had

I will fight anyone who says the OG Bakugan anime was bad Like actually meet outside so we can duke it out. Dan and Drago *GOATS*

[@vincentvisda2147]

OG Battle Brawlers and New Vestroia are good the rest are meh

[@shadowmoon522]

og dan: fights with drago to the point of getting in a sword fight with an alien bp dan: clings to drago being unable to do anything on his own but run around throwing stuff. it gets worse with the shuns... og shun: badass ninja that can hold his own against a bakugan bp shun: marucho with daddy issues.

[@SilverMosty]

@@vincentvisda2147yeah that’s a good take, gundalians or whatever it was called literally had no plot, all there was was “ save me from my enemy clan dan”.

[@staticJ7]

This Bakugan would've been better received had they not rebooted it with some of the same characters of the original. Should've had a new protagonist instead Dan/Drago 2.0.

[@m0ckyzo185]

I wouldn't warrant comparisons if the reboot was anywhere near the original's level; but since that's obviously not the case I don't see why we can't fault the new show for what the old show did better

[@dspace4514]

Massive respect to the singer of Battle Brawlers. He did NOT have to hit high notes like that for a kid's TV show opening, but he did anyways.

[@animeslayer6654]

[@ImARealWerewolf]

I didn't know Bakugan got a reboot again. The og show was my jam and this just feels like they watered it down. A shell of its former self.

[@davidpotts7116]

The new animation and voice acting legit feels like a Crunchyroll original series with a brand new team putting out their first product, not something from an animation studio that's been in business for years...

[@elemomnialpha]

I care that he's not like the original because AT THAT POINT WHY CALL HIM DAN? Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't just call of their protagonist Yugi, Beyblade doesn't call everybody Tyson, if he's not going to BE Dan Kuso don't call him Dan Kuso it's just going to hurt the character by tying him to a legacy he can't stand up to

[@diegoxavier9107]

Battle Brawlers on Wii was pretty friggin good, though

[@reallyhimongod]

On the psp it’s even better!

[@optimus0]

I watched the first like 2 minutes of the show. When "Dan" and Drago started talking like old pals. like they were the ones who went through all the crap og dan and drago went through i was like nah you haven't earned this show,and dropped it immediately.

[@roxs6557]

I miss the old bakugan anime, it was visually stunning

[@snowassassin2177]

This is painful.... Everyone was so excited for the remake... And as an artist. The characters look flat like they should be on a comic book page instead of an animation screen. Like even the shadow underneath the characters don't even change that much

[@Crowned_Hearts]

BRUV THEY REBOOTED AGAIN???

[@poetscotty]

I rather Dan have a son than a whole reboot they could of done a soft reboot like Omniverse

[@Illusion517]

Why do they look 8?! Like I always liked how in cartoon animes, the characters looked to be in their mid teens cause it gave me people to look up to and aspire to be when I was older as a kid. The characters don't have to look the exact age of the target demographic

[@user-om1vj2cl9q]

In the summer between my 5th grade and 6th grade year i found myself living in a spouse abuse community home. Just that year i had begun playing and collecting Bakugan. Me and another boy really connected with each other there for the first time because we both played Bakugan. He was a few years younger than me. We traded a bit, he loved the game as much as i did Yugioh when i was his age. Eventually i ended up walking about 2 hours (there and back) from Walmart. I was young and this was not smart but i would go to the toy section. Stuff my jacket pockets with as many Bakugan that would fit. On the walk back i was always so excited to share the new awesome Bakugan with that kid. His eyes would light up! I did this several times while living with him in that house. Even on My second to last day i did it as a parting gift as well as giving to him my entire collection. I quit Bakugan but passed on my passion for the game to him. Wish i could talk to him again! It’s been 17 years i think? Anyway that’s my fondest memory of the silly card game that is know by Bakugan haha

[@silentcrow6334]

Bakugan was so popular at my school among the boys the girls started getting into it. Bakugan faded away when i moved away to another school after 4th grade, thats when Bakugan also fell off after New vestroya.

[@raccoonmaster3681]

Its just a souless reboot that's why the original is better and for anyone saying everyone says that. The original the animaters wanted to keep going and spent millions per episode thats how you know they loved the show they made. And here's the reboot power system doesnt make sense characters are just trash remakes and clones of total drama baby island.

[@wait859]

There's something special about watching ppl on the internet rant so passionately about something u know nothing about. I know jack about this beyblade knock off reboot but now im mad too

[@MrScaryPasta]

Bakugan BRAWL! Bakugan STAND! Words I remember fondly and cherish forever. Bakugan was the GOAT back when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I remember wanting the cards and monster balls so badly. This show is my childhood. I’m glad that a new generation can enjoy this series, even if it’s not the best looking animation.
