The specifics were spotty in the opening volume but the basics were established to show how little thought was put into the show, how poorly it was all explained, and how leaps in logic were all over the place the motivations of Masquerade to find something very specific in the players he fights, even sparing Dan's Drago (a very special card that talks to him and has fewer limits in the Earth dimension).
The top ranked player in the world is a person called Masquerade who seeks ultimate power, using a special card to banish his opponents' beasts to another dimension as a means of gaining control of the universe. Initially, the children believe that the battles are all part of a game but as the series continues, they find that a lot more is at stake, another world hanging in the balance beside Earth, a place called Vestroia. Yes, this is yet another Pokemon type of card game advertisement with one dimensional characters all using their cards to fight each other as they seek to elevate their standings and become #1. There are six types of creature that arise from the cards representing six distinctive worlds (air, earth, fire, light, wind, and dark) with the worlds imbuing certain characteristics on the beasts that could give them specific advantages depending on the playing field and whatever special cards are played in conjunction with them. Apparently, some time back, a number of magic cards rained down on the world, allowing children to engage in battles on time slowing playing fields using balls that contain mystical beasts.
The lead character of the series is Dan, a kid that loves to play a card game called Bakugan. Series: Bakugan Battle Brawlers Vol 1 had the first five episodes of the series, totaling up to 110 minutes of material without any extras for those children that prefer to own their commercials instead of watch them on TV like the rest of the world. The most blatant commercial driven advertisement I have come across in a very long time was sent to me for review today, a DVD called Bakugan Battle Brawlers Vol 1, presumably the first in a line of volumes. Most such shows tend to be repetitive and air during prime kid times, generally considered the worst the genre has to offer by a wide variety of people. Background: One of the reasons I like anime so much more than Saturday morning cartoons is the depth so many of the shows have by comparison, the domestic "product" often little more than extended commercials to sell card games or other toys.
