Bakuten Shoot Beyblade

When it comes to kiddie anime, I usually do not give out tens. And msot of what I say is opinion, not fact. So don't take it too personal just because I perfer this season over the other two. Story: Spinning tops has never been this badass before! And I love how they made it into an extreme professional sport. If you were to explain the story to someone who has never seen the anime, it would come off as silly to them. Art: The art style is pretty unique. I didn't like how the style was altered to look OMFG KAWAII ^__^ and like your typicalkiddie anime. Sound: It was pretty great. And for once English dubbers picked the right voice actors. Characters: The BladeBreakers are pretty much the most memorable characters I've noticed in anime. They're the only protagonists that I never got annoyed with. You can say that Takao is the main character, but in a way, him, Kai, Rei and Max are all the main characters and aren't there for just support. It's a good thing that you are led to hate the despicable Boris and you're led to root for Takao and friends. Enjoyment: This season holds my most cherished childhood memories that I had between grade 5-7. How could anyone not enjoy this?

I watched this when I was 12-14 years old, after I have already damaged my brain with Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh. I did enjoy it, but even 12-14 years old kid can see why is something happening (for the coolness and for money) and major...failures. Story: Take Yu-gi-oh, make the deck with one card, that is getting stronger (Pokemon?) and make a basic toy. Add something techy and here you go - you have a Beyblade! No, the story isn't that bad, but that is just because it is MADE for being bad. Who cares actually? The bad are bad, the good are good, one good guy isbecoming bad (Sasukeeeeee!) and then good again. Friendship, love and peace always prevail. Art: Since it is MADE to be like an average Yu-gi-oh+Pokemon shonen it has to have something to catch the eye. The battles have effects, the Beyblades have very good animations, the creatures are very good too. So far 9. But the overall animation is not that good, static backgrounds are common issue and are very different from the battles. If you have watched Code Geass you know that the animation can be much better in that direction. But are there 12-14 years old kids have seen it? Sound: The fact that I can't remember anything bad about the sound (except "Let it rip" or common curses and screams) is the reason for the 6. I remember the good voice acting, good sounds when they have "Let it rip" and the screams of the monsters. Characters: Very shonen, very immature and pretty well developed. Another strong point. When you think Naruto is an idiot and Sasuke is an EMO, then you see, that the characters are not so standard (well, they are, but in a better way). They pretty much behave like humans and not like the average shonen idiots (Goku, Lufy, Naruto, etc.). Enjoyment: You know when a thing is something more than the sum of it's parts. Well, here it is less. I liked it, but I didn't really enjoy it nearly as much as other shonen titles. Again - Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon are much more fun, because they make a new world - the author makes the rules or breaks them. Here they are trying to make you believe that the world is real. But it is not. And even a 12-14 years old kid understood that. Overall: The overall score is a little higher, because it is unfair such a good, pure shonen anime to be hated that much. It is unreal, but who cares?! Hellsing: The ultimate isn't. Berserk isn't. But they are good, aren't they? So if you like animes for kids - go ahead. I like a little more realistic and mature titles. With a friend we made an army to take over the world - Pokemon hooligans, Bayblade Pedobears and cards-cerebral-destroyers. Well, they can destroy mountains (Pokemons), crush walls and are like power plant s (Bayblades) and can cause serious, sometimes deadly brain damage (Yu-gi-oh cards).

Ok, after reading some of the reviews for this show here on MAL, my conclusion is that what is even more pathetic than Beyblade is the fact that some of you are spending so much of your energy bashing this Anime for not being the next Akira. What did you expect? It's obvious that it's a show designed to give the audience some mindless entertainment and nothing else. Do I think that Beyblade is a fantastic Anime? NO!! Did I enjoy watching Beylade? YES! At least, parts of it. You see, sometimes the point of watching cartoons is to just kick back, relax and havesome "mindless" fun. In my opinion, Beyblade succeeds in providing us with such an experience. It is not, by any means, the sort of Anime that you will take seriously but if you watch it for the right reasons, you might be surprised at how fun it can be. Sure, the concept of kids taking "spinning tops" seriously is ludicrous at the very least. But since when is it any less ludicrous for Yagami Light to have the ability to kill people with a notebook, or for Lelouch to have the ability to control peoples actions with his eyes, or for Naruto to act like a Neanderthal whilst managing to beat opponents with twice the brute strength and a hundred times the intelligence as his? Lets face it!! It's all UNREALISTIC and SILLY, but that's not the point is it? Sometimes its fun to just watch something that doesn't require a great deal of thinking, and Beyblade is a good match for that. So stop whining about how bad this Anime is. When you are having one of those days when you just want to unwind after a busy day of studying or working, just take off your smelly socks and give Beyblade a go. In other words, LET IT RIP!!!!

Where to start?! Beyblade was a huuuuuugeeee obsession of mine when I was younger, and I still hold a soft spot in my heart for it. I remember watching the very first episode when it aired, and them announcing the show as "BEYBLADE" with no images of the show yet. I was intrigued, since I'd never heard of the title before, thinking it would be some lame American tv show...but from the first episode, I was hooked. Yes, the whole concept seems moronic....Who would have thought that you could stretch a storyline about spinning tops to three 51-episode long seasons and a spin off sequel? Butit worked (at least for the first three seasons, MFB's a totally different story)! Story: It might not be the most creative storyline out there, but I must give them kudos for making a story about spinning tops somewhat interesting. I did watch the English dub, so I can't say for sure what I may have missed out on due to editing, but for the most part the storyline was enjoyable, albeit mostly predictable. Kind of like Pokemon, but with spinning tops. Art: The art in this season isn't a style from anime that I typically like; the characters, especially Tyson, can sometimes look kind of grotesque and just strange...In fact when I started seeing the artwork of the second and third seasons unveiled, I thought that the first season was a version specifically created by a western company, because it was so different from most other animes in terms of colouring and design. But, in the end, when compared to the other two seasons, I do like this one the best, and I am upset that they decided to change the art each season. I like the characters' designs the best in this first season. And yes, like many other fangirls of the franchise, I did fall in love with Kai and Tala, whose designs this season were the most appealing to me out of the three. Sound: I watched the English dub for all three seasons. I heard the Bladebreakers' voices once in Japanese and refused to EVER watch it in Japanese. I really liked the way they sounded more mature in the English dub, and their voices suited them well. Yes, I also enjoyed the music...the English sk8tr boi music...some of it is pretty decent. Character: The characters MADE this series. If they had chosen a less bishounen group (case in point--METAL FIGHT BEYBLADE) this wouldn't have been so successful in the fan community. It's the characters that made me want to keep watching the series to find out what happened to them, how things turned out for them and so on. I found that even characters I wouldn't typically like I ended up loving--there was no one in the series I can genuinely say that I hated. Plus, I would be remiss if I didn't give this category a 10 for Kai alone.... Enjoyment: The fact that this was such a huge part of my life means of course I enjoyed it! But obviously I wouldn't recommend this anime to just anyone. It's kind of difficult to enjoy unless you had some connection to it while you were younger. For example, if you're 25 and began to watch Pokemon for the first time in your life ever, you would be pretty weirded out to say in the least. Overall, I really did enjoy this anime, and yes this season holds a soft spot like no other season of Beyblade (especially Metal Fight *shudder*). I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone, as it's such a strange concept for a storyline that I really don't know anyone who would understand it...But the characters definitely make it worth your while.
