Cross Fight B-Daman eS Anime's 1st Promo Streamed

The official website for Cross Fight B-Daman eS, the second Cross Fight B-Daman anime series based on the B-Daman marble-shooting toy franchise, began streaming a promotional video on Monday.

The new anime takes place in "Crest Land," where the mysterious "B-Crystal" has started to go berserk. The main protagonist Kamon Godai lives in the south area of Crest Land, and is an energetic boy who loves B-Daman. However, he lost his all past memories of B-Daman and his family, except for his big sister Aona who lives with him. One day, Kamon meets Galvan, a B-Daman at his local B-Daman shop, "B-Junk," and he finds Galvan strangely familiar. Galvan becomes his partner, and he returns to the B-Daman battles once again.
