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"
