They try too hard to make it funny and kid friendly. The original series seemed more closer to anime style then this new one thats more like a kid cartoon.

Also i dont like how the visual graphics looks, the old one looks more like an anime and this new one looks like its for kids.

This is only good if you have a younger kid/sibling who is into this. And you are stuck watching it with them. At max this is 6 stars; with some funny slapstick moments. It can even get cool sometimes and is inclusive with the cast. However, that ain't enough . . .

But if you take into fact this isn't nearly as good as other kids shows. Like the original Beyblade series, Yugioh, Medabots, or/and Zoids. Then this is definitely trash tier at about 3 stars. Some people might even say the OG Bakugan is better than this reboot. But honestly it doesn't matter, because even the original wasn't that good.

Last two things; those transformation scenes are a tab bit too long, they should consider shortening them. The video games that were on the Wii and DS, were bomb! At least 7 stars out of 10 for those bad boys; if you ever come around them online, or in a mom and paps shop.

The show isn't bad, the main problem it faces is bad voice acting. Not bad quality wise, the voice actors themselves aren't terrible but the dialogue pacing is terrible, there's even the occasional pause withing a sentence that doesn't belong. All in all it's not the worst thing out there for kids to watch, and it's not inherently worse than it's predecessor, it will likely have your kids begging you to buy them Bakugan toys however.

I watched this series in my childhood! Bakugan Battle Brawlers is the real thing! This is a fake copy with a whole new story line and new characters. If they wanted to do a so called 'Reboot' they should have used another name too!! Bakugan: Battle Planet only has 1 different word compared to the original Bakugan: Battle Brawlers... This is mockery! This should not be rated positive by anyone who knows the original! I'm not saying the storyline isn't good, but they are making fun of their own series. Now this series is available on Netflix and I'm deeply disappointed. The original is way better for nostalgic reasons & the battles are just crappy now, if they changed the name completely I would have agreed more, but changing only 1 word in the name? Come on now anyone who watched the original series should relate to how I'm feeling now. I was deeply disappointed, the battles are confusing and not good at all, battles have been the exciting part of the series since the start, now it is confusing. You don't know what's happening at all! This is not even worth 1 star for me. 0 stars should be the minimum.

The reviews up here are mostly lies. the animation is weak and the characters are too childish.

As a big Bakugan fan I am, I gave Battle Planet a try (on a kids channel called Pop), but 2 or 3 episodes in I disliked it and think it's garbage. The theme song doesn't bring as much hype, as the original theme did, the Bakugans all look robotic, less organic, instead of the looking like actual Animals or mythical creatures or Aliens or other compared to the original series, the characters are boring and childish. They ruined Shun Kazami's & Dan Kuso's characters, I prefer the original Dan & Shun over the new ones, they should have just made new characters instead, the animation looked more like a western world animation, rather than a actual Japanese Anime.

This show is very childish, very kiddy friendly, in the original series, it was more grown up as the seasons went on and more mature.

I'm sorry But as a OG Bakugan Fan Bakugan Bakugan Brawlers, New Vestroia, Gundalian Invaders and Mechtanium Surge Arc 1/2 will always out beat Battle Planet.

Bakugan:Battle Planet is trash.

I remember watching the original first season. When Battle Planet was released I was very disapointed. It didn't had anything from the original. Well it had Dan and Drago, but they were just shells of the original once. The new squad is very bad. The fused Shun and Mrucho and we got this weird aquos Shun thing. Also I can't get over with how ugly these CGI bakugan are. The original was enjoyable for even teens and adults but this is just for 4-9 year olds. Also Dan is nothing like the original. Also the series was made in America. So it's no longer anime, I think.

I like bakugans but my sister noticed that some are shaped like letters in the alphabet. My sister said that one looks like a S and the other on looks like an L. It's kinda freaky and I am not wondering why are they shaped like letters. Is it some kind of code? Or they just want to have fun with the bakugan's and shape them like letter from the alphabet? People who have bakugan's check the shape of you bakugan's to see if they are shaped as letters. If you do see letters please make a comment and type which letters. To see if it's a code or not. Well that my Review /comment.

The reboot of Bakugan is not worth watching. The animation is weak, so line isn't that great and the bakugan battles are confusing. The Original Bakugan is much better then this lame and cheap reboot.

It isn't much compared to the original. When I see they rebooted the show I was very excited. But this show is obviously catered to smaller kids. The story line is not engaging and you hold no attachment. The animation is very weak. I really wish they would've try to revive the old show. Or at least tried to have some kinda story arc other than how do we get views on the internet.

Yes the changed many things but this reboot has good story.

So I've watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers when I was 6 or 7 and LOVED IT but this... this is just cringe and they didn't keep many things from the original like any of the symbols for the bakugan elements and they didn't keep half the names for the elements. That just makes it seem like they didn't care about the people who watched the original at all. Also most of cartoon networks reboots aren't good no matter how you put it. Yea the animation is good but if your a weeb it feels like a really old anime (like around early 2000s) when it comes to the animation but just with more frames. For the people who are liking the reboot good for you I just personally can't stand how much it feels like a major off brand of bakugan. (Btw why do you pronounce Kuso as Kuzo and not Ku-so that's how it was produced in the original). And one more thing before I submit Drago was more of acting like a tough stubborn kind of guy in the original but now he is just like "oh you're my partner I'll do whatever you say" like a big suck up.

What is this? This is not Bakugan at all, I know what I am talking about, the original Bakugan is still the best, this new series is garbage!

This show is a reboot of a series that I could still safely say had the biggest impact on my childhood and is probably still my favorite show of all time, but I'm not going bore you with my whole life story instead I'm going to talk about the small portion that I watched before I couldn't suffer through it anymore.

This show did a great job of being more child friendly and reaching out to its new target audience but sadly that is probably the only good thing I can say about this show. The story was changed so much from the original that you almost can´t compare them at all. Their choice of making all of the Bakugan mechanical instead of living creatures from another dimension/planet completely takes away from one of the main points from the original and some of the character conflicts. ¨Drago¨ the main partner of Dan despised mechanical Bakugan this was one of his defining character moments during the events of the original series' new Vestroia arc, now this being said it was probably a choice to more easily explain Bakugan to children facing the shift to a younger target audience now that being said I almost can't hold it against them because it certainly did maker the show much more simple.

Unfortunately, it's almost to a fault the choice to make the show much more simple means that at times in the show they basically throw out all the rules of the show and make the battles harder to follow and the change in the original 6 attributes didn't help with myself being a returning fan the executives overseeing this show made too many changes to ¨ modernize ¨ the show that they basically turned into a pile of hot garbage.

Now before you say "But Bakugan is my childhood", "CN make a good reboot, are you high?" "It's decent but they barley air it" or some other crap like that just shut up. And on a side note, I made IMDB list of other good reboots on CN. Anyways what I like about this Bakugan is that the battles are more engaging to watch. I know it's par for the course for trading card anime to play out a more epic version of the game in show but at the end of the day it is them just playing the game. The original show was like that too but here the bakugan have more range to fight when compared to the turn based style of the first show, the kids can pitch in by throwing power up baku-cores that can either power or heal a bakugan so the kids aren't rendered useless, plus it also ties into the rules of the new game. Speaking of which checkout the new toys their pretty cool. I also like the 11 minute run time it's rare for an anime to do that and considering that most other card game shows could have been this short if the the meat of the action (the card games) wasn't just playing the game (which that type of format is good but it's great to break away from it every now and then). I like the new look of the creatures since they are basically toys they have a mechanical look to them which is a nice attention to detail. The characters are typical but likable and act more like actual kids, kinda like Craig of the creek. Over all this show is a lot more engaging and fun to watch than some other card game anime in past years like Scan 2 go and Monsuno that aired on Nicktoons. I look forward tot seeing the Bakugan brand grow.

Very funny, awesome battles, a good story that doesn't reveal to much early on, likeable characters, and good dialogue and character interaction, Bakugan: Battle Planet is everything you want in a reboot. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Bakugan, game based animes, or even just action packed shows in general.

This Reboot is better than the original this one has nice characters excellent story good dialogue and writing And nice Animation I love this Show Soo much
