The Medabots Official YouTube channel will stream all 52 episodes of the 1999 anime for a limited time, from 19:00 on June 27 to 21:00 on June 28. The marathon celebrates the June 25 release of the new Switch game Medarot Card Robottle RB. The anime originally aired on TV Tokyo from 1999 to 2000 and follows protagonist Ikki, a boy who lacks a Medabot in a world where robot battles are popular, until he finds a Kabuto Medal and meets the Medabot Metabee. The series combines robot customization and battles with themes of friendship and growth. The full-episode release is a free, one-time event designed to let fans revisit the series or introduce it to new viewers alongside the card game launch.
The marathon will run on the Medabots Official Channel, starting at 7:00 PM JST on June 27 and ending at 9:00 PM JST on June 28-a window of roughly 26 hours. The event commemorates the launch of Medarot Card Robottle RB, a card game for Nintendo Switch that debuted on June 25. The anime, produced under the copyright of Imagineer and NAS/Kodansha, ran for 52 episodes and introduced characters such as the headstrong Metabee and Ikki, whose journey from Medabot-less boy to skilled battler drove the story. The series blends collectible robot parts with turn-based Robottle fights. Streaming the complete series for a single day encourages both nostalgia-driven rewatches and discovery by players of the new card game.
