Oooo, good point about Beyblade! That also reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh--a cartoon show pushing a card game, heehee.

It wasn't even supposed to be about card games, it was supposed to be about a schoolboy possessed by an ancient demon who punished bullies and criminals through karmic challenges they were set up to lose. It was really dark. The mangaka started the card game arc and it became SUPER popular so that became its entire reason for existing.The subsequent series are all about the cards, though. So now it's a toy-toon.

Especially considering at least two people burned alive in the original incarnation of Yu-Gi-Oh. I thought how dark it was was awesome, but it would have definitely been too much for kids TV over here. Doesn't Disney count in this? Or do they not since they license manufacture of their toys to other parties?
Kinda like how Pokemon is best known for games, when they started out as cards.
