  • A big tie in for cards games is having a cartoon show closely or loosely come with it, and that's no different for Chaotic. Chaotic however while still have plots and parts of that story that don't have anything to do with the Chaotic card game, it worked pretty hard to show off the card game in the show and do it as accurate as possible. Let's take a look into what Chaotic was all about and its possible future.

    Marillian Invasion was easily Chaotic at it's peak. Their Lovecraftian nature really helped them stand out from the other races in the show, and aside from Von Blut, they were the first true villains the series ever had. The fact that the Code Masters had to actually shut down the gates connecting Chaotic to Perim further highlights just how dangerous they were.

      @@wackpool1491 Though I always liked watching Chaotic, the first season always gave me some frustration back then, since there were less unique angles, and the frontal view for many characters looked odd at best. I get that the faux/French-Italian anime look isn't for everyone, but I was one of those who preferred it over the flash, especially since the quality of animation jumped with the change as well. (Also animating in flash is notoriously bad for many so I hope the production staff did not have those problems.)

      Yeah, I can definitely agree with the storytelling being a bit messy. Aside from Marillian Invasion, which was built up throughout the entirety of Season 2, and the storyline where Von Blut stole Maxor's courage, there were a lot of story arcs that never really went anywhere, were too short, or never received proper endings.
      Prexxor Chasm was two episodes split between Seasons 1 and 2, with a whole lot of space in between; the possibility of Von Blut going back in time and assassinating the ancestors of Maxor and Chaor, plus the whereabouts of Najerin's son, were never expanded upon; and the "Secrets of the Lost City," for which the Final Season was named, didn't actually reveal any secrets, as far as I can remember.

      Memories of the creatures were used pretty consistently in fights, even in the very first episode.
      What I loved, and wish they did more often, was have the game they’re playing actually interact with the A-plot in Perim
      One of my favourite episodes was when real Chaor was going to fight real Van Bloot, so Kaz went and found a high level Van Bloot player to 1v1 in Van Bloot’s castle, so he could go tell real Chaor what tricks he’d use
      That’s a really cool, unique part of the show that was entirely unique to Chaotic
      Also loved when Prexxor Chasm had a giant parasite killing all the creatures, so Tom would go there in games with every creature and battlegear he could think of, to try and find a way to stop it, risk-free

      My memories of this show are really foggy, but I distinctly remember one Overworlder getting infected with a Danian parasite (I think that was the term) and Tom had scanned him only for the parasite to trigger in the middle of match while he was playing as him, which caused him to realize what had happened and immediately forfeit to go warn them. Other than that, I remember the time Tom took a stab playing with Underworlders which made Kaz jealous, Peyton getting into a battle of the sexes only to confuse everyone when he won but it turned out he was the one using female creatures while his female opponent used male creatures, and that time the creatures invaded the human world only for it to be a dream (honestly weak), Kaz getting that one creature that's actually two, and War Beasts and M'arrillians being introduced. That's literally everything I remember about this show, though.

      this is most annoying part about this show. they did great season 1, then aired season 2 and season 3 but these seasons were nearly impossible watch. I saw a few of the shows, maybe like 10-15 episodes of other seasons but they were all in different order without truly understanding the events in proper order.
      I think this is type of show that if it was turned into actual video game, it would exploded in term of popularity. Just think of world of warcraft as a card game. you go around exploring a 3D adventure game where the objective is to try scan cards and then you battle with said cards as mutiplayer duel. The duel can be real time or it could be more like Warhammer 40,000/Risk where you can auto-battle based off stats of a card. Considering 3D pokemon on your phone is something that exists, this show and game was far beyond its time.
      This show would be great candidate for Virtual games as well like Sword art online where popular anime character Kirito survives Aincrad. Imagine Virtual game based off survival in regards to finding monsters, equip cards and discovering new types of attacks on each monster. Its like most sophisticated version of pokemon. If Chaotic was transpose into games, I imagine it would be very popular.

    I still find Maxxor shooting literal iron balls from his eyes one of the best examples of game mechanics not being translatable to a narrative, like the dragon god Nicol Bolas from MTG not being able to trample through a 1/1 pigeon, and I absolutely love it that they committed to the ridiculousness of that element.

    They really need to make a video game that has the jist of the show.
    Open world scanning (maybe with area-level scaling) of heroes, locations, battlegear and mugics and hero shooter-like combat for the fights themselves with the straregic placement and decks from the show.
    Plus, the world itself and the different factions and characters are really solid so any project taking place in that world would be welcome, especially a game of this kind.

      Agreed!
      I would’ve wanted more episodes focusing on the mystery behind the code masters and how they came to be!…. Are they like basically the iT staff at the Chaotic domain??? How in the heck were they able to get involved with basically mixing algorithms with what is essentially digitized bio organic chemical engineering mixed with programming digits???
      Anyone else wondering how it’s even possible for what happens when, transforming into seemingly fictional icons that are otherwise not fictional; but, real life organic beings somehow being replicated through digital programming???
      I solemnly sear to god that this could’ve made for a great video game also!… Combine that with a chaotic character creation tool art similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse or even Dragon Ball The Breakers’ character creation set piece collection and I promise you.
      The real challenge would be animating how every anthropomorphic creature you scan and play as, maneuver their way over terrain or other landscapes when searching for your opponent to fight while also dodging attacks!…..
      I mean I was stoked at such an amazing prospect!…..
      Imagine doing that 1 hundred and 1 VS 1 hundred and 1 type face off like Tom did with that “Peyton” fellow I think his name is???
      I also did love the anime aesthetic art style to.💙💚❤️🖤😎

I remember when one of the characters was trying to train people from all of the tribes and it was hard for them to get along. Then Payton(the only person that scanned a Marillian ) and the rest of his friends used other creatures to see if the 4 tribes had a chance of beating the Marillian.

The one issue I had with it is that there was a lot of math and micromanagement in keeping track of your cards' numbers when playing the physical version as if it was encouraged to be played online more than in person. But it did help me improve my math skills. Hope this show gets a revival someday, and if I could fund to help it, I would.

    I had a soft spot for this show. I was a bit old for it, but juggling the card game with going to the overworld had a lot of fun storytelling aspects, since when they would scan a monster, it was a snapshot of them at that moment, maybe another player scanned a monster while they were going through a huge power spike/berserker rage, and the card couldn't be beat, so the characters check on them in the world itself, (because they were friends in the other world.)
    It also explains the varying stats from card to card, since it's the same monster at different times points of their life.

    This was the coolest idea for a card game and video game world. I loved how the characters would go to the worlds and scan the environment too for a fighting location and while you’re hunting you find out how to use the area or how that monster you just scanned uses the area so when you fight you have some advantage there. But even so someone could have scanned a new weapon that a tribe made for war and now they have the advantage. Or you could have scanned them when they were sick so it’s not really as good as they could have been so you might go back. OR YOU GO TO SCAN SOMEONE SPECIFIC AND THEYRE IN A FIGHT WITH SOMETHING YOU NEVER SAW BEFORE SO NOW YOU GOT TWO SICK SCANS. There were so many possibilities. I wanted to always have an Overworld team. I wish this was an MMO. That would be insane.

    The mention of a mobile app just gave me one heck of an idea: Chaotic GO. Scanners basically _are_ just fancy phones, and mobile AR tech has gotten to the point that hunting for scans in the real world (not to mention battling with other players face-to-face, using the app to give AR effects to the physical cards or battling directly in-app) is totally feasible with today's mobile capabilities. Get the right dev team and designers, _give them room to cook,_ and a Chaotic revival could be the closest thing we'll ever get to actually porting to Perim itself.
