Reaction to Battle Spirits Saga ending?
Essentially? Battle Spirits Saga suffered from fairly unexciting artwork (or looked bland) and relied on a very 'generic' Fantasy world setting. And relied on celebrity endorsements. And didn't do anything to meaningfully strike down Magic: The Gathering. Like. This is a bit unfair, but.
The reason of Battle Spirits became big (enough) in Japan is that it had a cartoon, and a stronger multimedia push and Bandai is the biggest fish in Japan, in terms of toy companies, while being an underdog in the west.
But also, Bandai killed Saga by drowning it in Union Arena, One Piece and other card games, and it's like the first of many games to die in a card game bubble that'll likely pop as part of a wider economic recession.
That will probably be caused by the ineptitude of the current U.S. Government.
Bandai was a bad steward.
What do you think of Battle Spirit Saga?
Glad Bandai tried to bring Battle Spirits to the west again.
Shame it'll die because Bandai wouldn't just focus on it and Digimon and had to bring over way too many other CCGs, and didn't do something to help severely cripple Magic.
The international Battle Spirits from this year
Idk. I haven't paid much attention to it other than the cards exist because Musk keeps ratfucking Twitter such that I can't keep track of shit.
If it's floundering, it's because Bandai has generally poor instincts as a company outside its home country and is over extending itself.
Folks I talk to say it's easily the best game on the market but it's a heavily clear Magic clone (as BS was when it launched in Japan), and Magic seems to have ungronked itself short term, and Bandai is also trying to shove One Piece and Union Arena internationally at the same time.
Too much, too fast, too quickly. Everyone is hoping Magic collapses so their IPs can get mindshare.
Basically, if doing badly, Bandai is generally bad at card games internationally.
Is Battle Spirits doing well in the west?
I'm hearing it's doing. Ok. But nothing special.
Bandai's over launched too many games.
Does ACAB include Siegwurm Nova and the star dragons?
Probably.
As BS Saga is exclusive to the west, they could license the series to streaming services like Crunchyroll and Hidive. We had official English subtitles in Gallet, I hope it's not a distant dream...
It's a distant dream.
Bandai is god fucking awful about licensing card game anime.
It took them ages to stop pissing and shitting about licensing Gundam.
Ultraman took aeons (which wasn't its fault per say).
But don't expect it, Anon.
They're going for a very western Dude Bro release vibe relying on YouTubers and Bro Culture, it feels. For Saga. No anime needed.
What is the chance of Battle Spirits getting a new anime or official streaming (before Gallet) because of BS Saga?
Pretty sure it's 0.
Saga is a new game exclusive to the West.
