I was flipping through channels last Saturday night and caught Zatch Bell on Toonami (Another reason why cartoon network is awesome). It seems pretty cool. The characters are cool. There's a guy, Kiyo who's an arrogant high schooler, and he's got this little "mamodo" guy named Zatch who's his friend, and they like battle other little dudes to become the best "mamodo" of all of 'em. Lots of wacky characters and weird stuff happening. You can check it out at http://www.zatch-bell.com . I think it shows at like 9:30pm on CN. I recommend watching it.

Yea...

...actually, the name of it is Gash Bell. American rewrites must die.

But, not considering the review and everything, it is a decent show. Looks more geared to youngsters, but there's an actual plot that puts over those like...Pokemon (that wasn't the first season)...

The Animation and expressions are INSANE (really weird, not the good way >.>). Everything is overly hyped and exaggerrated.

Yeah, I think it's designed for a younger audience. Subtlety doesn't go over well with the young 'uns... But still, I like it, it has some charm that I can't quite put my finger on.

Hiryuu: Stop being ignorant. There's a reason for it, though. No one wanted to introduce a series to a language in which the one of the main characters of said series has a first name which is slang for vagina. It's like no one has main characters named dick anymore.

RanusApe: Stop being ignorant. That statement was just... Wow. I don't know what to say, dammit.

Ive just decided that I like Zatch Bell, I thought it was ok at first. But after watching it for a while now I think i really like it, it gets pretty funny at times.

It has a slow start, that much I know, and I was like that too in terms of it until I started watching some of the later eps. Kinda reminds me of Teen Titans in that sense.

Nice job refuting my statement. Your editing of quotes was a brilliant way to go about things because obviously your opinion is the only one that matters.

No, I'm lying, that was simply a remarkably poor and immature way to go about things. Honestly, I expected better of you, Hiryuu. Those "alternate titles" are simply loosely translated versions of the original title that fans put up. Look around at other titles, ANN does that a lot. It's because ANN is an anime fan site, and fans do that sort of thing. Because it's a fan site, it's also subject to error and is hardly a be-all end-all source on all things anime.

I also like how many quirky characters it has. For example that little Duck boy, he cracks me up every time.

The game thats coming out soon looks pretty good too.

I'm glad it has some support here. I was on another board and people were ripping it to shreds. I'm watching it more and more, and I'm really liking some parts, but really disliking others. The battle are fun, but can get repetitive, but I really like the humor.

I just loved that part with the Dog, that hat was just sooo hilarious, and the way he just waved Zatch goodbye cracked me up.

I wish I had my only little Mamodo Buddy.

The closest you can come I guess is the trading card game Actuallly, has anyone else tried it yet? I played the tutorial on the net, and it was pretty fun. It's soooo much better than Pokemon, it actually requires some skill and strategy. http://www.zatchbellccg.com

I've been a fan of the show (both the original and the American) and the game for a while, good to see others are also into it! I think it's the best of the trainer card anime out there.

I love the show and the card game as well!!! How many Zatch cards do you have? I've got like 2 starter decks, but I'm having issues getting booster packs. Anyone know where to get them?
