About Bakugan: Battle Planet

Here is what Bakugan: Battle Planet (爆丸バトルプラネット) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and fantasy anime by TMS Entertainment (2019). At its core: When Bakugan began emerging from the earth's crust in a mysterious worldwide "awakening," Dan and his allies find themselves at the epicenter of a new age. Dan and Company fast learn that they has to grow into more than just suburban kids looking for quick fame in the post-Bakugan era.

Further in, they must learn how to work with their Bakugan and deploy them in battle in order to survive the seemingly endless forces out to control, enslave or just plain destroy the unexplained race of alien creatures. And his allies will evolve into bona fide heroes by protecting their Bakugan, the Earth and ultimately the incredible concealed hidden beneath our feet: Our planet has merged with another, living planet Vestroia.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Lightning (Aki Kanada) and Dan Kouzo (Rie Takahashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 50 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
