12/31/2022 0 Comments Bakugan battle brawlers bookWith the falling of the Bakugan cards, and the discovery that the throwing down of the cards unleashes a violent battle in two dimensions, a new game, Bakugan is created. The Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Dan, Runo, Marucho, Julie, Shun, and Alice take on a battle far bigger than they first imagine. The popular TV show/battle game comes to print via Random House and the Cartoon Network. For an older child or teen looking for a similar series, something a bit more mature like Yugi-Oh might be a better choice. It may not be particularly clever or original, but the sci-fi element of saving the alternate dimension makes it a fun and adventurous read. It's nice to give them the option to read the same story in addition to watching it on television. Bakugan is a quick read and clearly aimed at young kids. To make up for this, the action is narrated, which helps but feels a little patronizing at times. The comic is not an originally drawn book, which might have made the action a little bit easier to follow. The book appears to have fewer edits than the TV series however, it's always a little difficult to follow the action when it's not in motion. Even the script is almost identical to the English dub. This technique retains the vivid colors and original artwork. Del Rey took screen shots and dialogue from the anime and assembled them into graphic-novel form. Their battle bleeds into Dan's world, and Drago ends up as Dan's new ally (read: plastic ball that sits in a box with the other plastic balls). A Darkus Bakugan breaks through to Pyrus, the fire world, and attacks Drago the red dragon. Now the six elemental worlds are open to each other, setting the darkness world Darkus on the offensive. The evil Naga attempted to seize ultimate power but failed, which threw the balancing forces of the universe into upset. The fate of these worlds lie in the hands of the players, especially the anticlimactically named Dan, for a reason to be explained later.hopefully. What the players don't realize is that these other worlds where their toy monsters come from actually exist in another universe. It almost feels as if this isn't the first episode at all, but it's actually picking up partway through the season. The game itself requires a little bit of math and strategy, much like Pokémon meets Yugi-Oh, but the reader can just follow along for now seeing as how the comic doesn't fully explain how the game works in this first episode. People used the cards to design a game where they use elementally based balls that transform into monsters to duke it out. One day, cards started raining down from the sky, all over the world. The story follows young Dan as he and the rest of those darn kids today are swept up in the latest fad, a game called Bakugan. The game, the anime, the toys.but now Del Rey brings us a cleverly designed graphic novel based on the Bakugan television series. As with all these shounen battle game titles, it's all about the merchandising. For now, let's talk about Bakugan Battle Brawlers. All these shounen battle game titles are starting to blur together.
