"Buggin' Out"

Airs at 11:30 a.m. ET

On the last episode of Chaotic, Tom fuond himself losing his best monster in a three round battle against Bodal. Luckily he had a back-up monster in store, and hsi agility allowed him to run away and get the win.

Today, Tom, Kaz, and Damon must save Sarah from a group of Danians who have captured her.​

Hey, this episode wasn't so bad.
Except for the "here we go again" ending.

I don't know about you guys but Chaotic is starting to bore me. There doesn't appear to be any real development in this show and all I'm seeing every week is scan, duel, scan, duel, etc. How about putting in a story arc that can actually move the story forward for once?

According to a recent interview, they're going to start doing something like that later on.
Or maybe that's when the animation gets better. I dunno.

Remember, it's a cartoon to sell a product, one that you can't buy. (Oh, 4kids, at last you're becoming a crafty marketer!)

I have to admit I was expecting a story arc. Instead, it is really episodic.

My guess is the real effort is going into the card game.

Anyone notice this week and last week credited 'Huminah Huminah Animation' with some of the work?

That's because it is a Flash Cartoon. Symbol animation with some 3D and traditional here and there. The production company is Bardel but they've farmed out the character animation to a few different companies like Huminah Huminah, which is doing Episodes 2, 5, 6 and few more. The preview footage on the 4kids site looks like it's from episode 1 but I can't say for sure.

Looks like the cards and online game is set for a May 16th release:

NEW YORK, NY (February 23, 2007) -- Kids everywhere are marking their
calendars for May 16. That's the day Chaotic, the highly-anticipated new
multi-platform trading card game from 4Kids Entertainment and TC Digital
Games launches online and at retail.

Also no new episode this weekend. I'm guessing it's because of the TMNT Turtle Awards starting this weekend they are replacing Chaotic with another episode of TMNT:FF and makeing it an "all morning long" type of thing.

Next Episode (March 10th @ 11:30am)
Chaotic Episode #8: Everything Is in Flux
"When Tom and Kaz foil her plan, Krystalla teams with their archenemy to get revenge."
