The original Medabots anime is streaming all 52 episodes on YouTube for a limited 26-hour marathon, promoting the newly released digital card game Medarot Card Robottle RB for Switch.
The Medabots franchise saw two major events in June 2026: the release of a new game and a full-episode anime marathon. Medarot Card Robottle RB launched on Switch on June 25, marking the series' first digital card game since a 2000 Game Boy Color title. The game comes in two versions, Kabuto and Kuwagata, each with different starting decks and cards. It adapts the Medarot robot battle system into a strategy-focused card format.
To celebrate the game's release, the Medabots Official YouTube channel began a 26-hour marathon of all 52 episodes of the 1999 anime starting June 27 at 19:00 and running until June 28 at 21:00. The anime originally aired on TV Tokyo from 1999 to 2000 and follows protagonist Ikki, a boy who lacks a Medabot in a world of robot battles until he finds a Kabuto Medal and meets the Medabot Metabee. The marathon is a free, time-limited event designed to let longtime fans revisit the series or introduce it to new viewers.
