Episode 85 - CanaDUBcember: Bakugan Battle Brawlers

Cartoon Night in Canada

02-12-2023 • 1 hr 14 mins

Throughout the entire month of December, we are in the spirit of celebrating with an entire month dedicated to covering what everybody associates with the holidays...ANIME!!!! Specifically, CanaDUBcember is an entire month spotlighting the exciting cross-cultural exchange of the anime boom in the early-to-late 2000s and the still felt effects it had on the media landscape. Not just officially licensed dubs produced here in Canada, but how Canada took a hands on approach to capitalizing on a popular culture shift through co-productions, anime inspired aesthetics, and tons of other surpriseses.

We are kicking off the month with a "classic" in the "solely produced to sell toys and card games" of 2000s anime. The underwhelming, incomprehensible, and heavily dated Yu-Gi-Oh/Beyblade coattail rider somehow produced in part by our friends at Nelvana - Bakugan Battle Brawlers.

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 1 "Bakugan: The Battle Begins." Directed by Mitsuo Hashimoto. Original Canadian airdate February 24, 2008.
