Remember Crush Gear?

Anyone remember Crush Gear? No? Just me? ok.

You can have a video on it anyway.
Enjoy, or don't, it's completely up to you.

Crush Gear Turbo, also known just as Crush Gear, is an anime and manga series about people who throw mechanical vehicles into a large ring to fight and "crush" each other. The 68-episode anime series produced by Sunrise aired across Japan on Animax from October 7, 2001 to January 26, 2003. Magna Pacific released Crush Gear Turbo dubbed in English in Australia. It was followed on by a spin-off series, Crush Gear Nitro, which has also been aired across Japan by Animax.

I remember these being a big thing in the Philippine, I as well had a bunch of kits, but I can't remember much of the anime. We also made paper counter parts to the kits at school, we would flick paper "crush gears" at each other and see which gets toppled over. Ah, the nostalgia hits just right

Zoids, Beyblade & Crushgear is the holy trinity

[CheriShin]

Growing up in the Philippines, Crushgear, alongside Beyblade and Zoids (and a bit of Tamiya perhaps), were very popular when I was a kid, perhaps because they aired in the local mainstream channels. Although being that most Filipino kids have no money to buy toys, you'll find more bootlegs than originals of these stuff among the average kids. They were everywhere in the markets, but you'd have to go to the malls in the city (which were not readily accessible to those in the provinces) to buy the originals.

God I loved this show back when it aired in the PH. Crush Gear, Beyblade, and Tamiya Mini4wd was my childhood.

Absolutely loved Crush Gear show as a kid. I remember I bought one of the toys and it didn't work. Parents returned it and that was the end of that, never got a replacement. Kinda a core memory of disappointment as a child... Anyway recently I was in Japan and I found a kit at a retro store, bought it, built it, got it working. Genuinely felt like I closed off some inner demons there...

Hi, coming late to this party but I'm from the Philippines and crush gear was indeed a big thing here. I remember one of my classes asked us to bring our crush gears so we could learn a little about physics and force and i think. Those were some interesting times. I wish I still had my old CG but alas it did not survive 😢

[metadude]

Had a bunch of these as a kid, loved them XD (Aussie too)
Zoids, Medabots, Beyblade, and Crushgear - Loved it all

Yes! I do remember crush gear. My first crush gear toy was the "shooting mirage" it was a bootleg though. But I no longer have that anymore which is sad 😢.

This was the first anime I ever watched, and it's my all-time favourite. Can't get enough of the battle sequences.

Always found it weird how Crush Gear came to Australia but not America

[Deadyu]

[jibon]

Dude thank u for being a fan n making this cos there isn’t a single other retrospective out there on this highly underrated but amazing classic goated gem the crush gear turbo franchise, it will always have a special place in me n my heart, It was def a big special part of my childhood since I’m from Australia and I would also go to the Philippines many times back then since I’m also related to that country by blood, kinda funny for some reason how it was only mostly big worldwide in 2 of my most important countries in my life but I’m sure it must’ve been kinda big in some other countries as well back then there’s proof of that, but it was def mostly its biggest in Australia n the Philippines worldwide out of Japan back then I remember seeing n buying the dvd’s n toys a lot in both those countries as a kid n I watched the show n played with the toys so much as a kid, n I had dvd’s n toys of the show from Australia and VCD’s n toys of the show from the Philippines, I loved it all so much some of the best times of my childhood that I’ll always cherish n I still love the whole franchise to this day n always will for the rest of my life

We even had tazos from chips snacks packets of the show here in Australia back then that was also rlly cool, n ppl still sell those tazos, dvd’s n toys of the show online to this day iswtg xd crush gear for life man

I’ve even made amvs of the show n I’m making a full amv tribute of it right now that’s how much I still n will always love the franchise, I’m an amv editor/maker

n I suddenly came across ur crush gear vid on google while searching up some crush gear stuff today n I was genuinely kinda hyped when I first saw it before I watched it, I should’ve found it much sooner tho, n it also happened while I was working on my crush gear amv today xd

I’ve watched the show many times when I was a kid n the last time I did was back in like 2014 as a teen I think n now I feel like rewatching it n getting into it all again this time as an adult since I’m coming back to it all again xd just everything about it is so cool n done rlly well to me

n I can tell ur aussie as well like me btw, I always recognise the Aussie accent being an Aussie myself ofc

[deoxys]

Good god that's a throwback; I could never afford them 'cause they're so expensive back then, and we weren't exactly well-to-do back then either. I only ever owned bootlegs lmao

[ToyamaHobbyChannel]

Yes I do remember crush gear! As a kid I owned a few knockoff. It aired in Malaysia. But I never completed the series

[aydrme]

I still remember it! Now I have two on the way from China

My Primary School Japanese teacher let us watch part of an episode of Crush Gear at the end of term and the intro has been living rent free in my head ever since.
