(Aug. 11, 2009 4:17 PM)To Wrote: Bakugan Battle Brawlers is a concept bought from a man in New York, by Toronto-based Spin Master toys who then employed Nelvana Limited to develop a series based upon it, that series just so happens to be animated in Japan, and be in anime styling.
And it's awful.
I'd rather have no anime, than a bad one. If a toy succeeds because of an anime series, it's going to fizzle out when the series ends. If it succeeds on its own, I think it stands a way better chance of continuing popularity for an extended period of time. A bad anime series is also just going to give people more fuel to bash on it.
I hope they spend more time on developing and marketing the toy itself and don't bother with an anime series. Unless they have some AMAZING new plot line that is going to make a battling spinning top game seem like a completely original idea.
That's all my opinion though. I guess most kids don't care how bad an anime series is, as long as it's full of soft-core violence and battling monsters.
