The original beyblade where they all looked burly as fuck was the best. Beyblade was around in my school but it didn't last long. Yugioh took over. My favourite character in the whole show was Tala, a literal who for those who haven't watched it in years. I've seen so many anime but this moment right here is still so fucking special to me and I have no idea why
That exact moment. It's the stance he takes, his confidence, the way he looks, how robotic he seems. I just love Tala. When I was a kid, I actually thought Tala was a girl for some reason. There was another character similar to him. Let me find it
Found it. Bryan. This guy literally hospitalized Ray with a fucking spinning top. God, this show was ridiculous but i love it.
The whole show, ar atleast the first series felt like a war against russia. Boris Balkov was puts a bunch of russian kids through harsh training where some of them literally died, so they could conquer the world with their spinning tops
I haven't watched it since I was 10 or something, but I remember likimg G-revolution the best.
I played with beyblades in school, but not the originals. Regardless, they were definitely the coolest toy to have as a kid. I remember we would have beyblade battles on the radiator in middle school because the grooves of the grates would force the beyblades towards each other.
I think most people go with the original or g revolution. V force wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as the other two. V force also had the ugliest bey spinning animations. Look at this fucking shit

We just did it on the concrete. One kid thought he was so fucking cool, he "let it rip" from our classroom window into the playground which was like two floors up, and it literally shattered when it hit the floor. mfw
i actually think the newer beyblade seasons are better, even if just marginally so because they look better aesthetically. beyblade is fucking dumb but it holds a special place in my heart. used to play with them all the time as a kid, hell i even had a beyblade blanket until i was 15
I haven't watched any of the newer ones. Only the original trilogy. I might actually give them a shot. I really like the original characters though
S1 character designs were kind of ugly, but it had some nice animation at times. Shame the later seasons weren't done by Madhouse anymore.
they kind of looked like monkeys but it's unique. The beyblade spinning animations from S1 are by far the best. They tried to hard in the later seasons with the spinning animations and it just looked fucking shit

My favorite character was Tyson, because I like winners.
Also, I legitimately thought his opening storylines for V-Force and G-Revolution were interesting.
The struggles of climbing back to the top and the fears of being abandoned by your friends were things I hadn’t seen in anime before.
I always wanted a beyblade when I was still a kid but it was too expensive for someone like me and my parents thought it was just a waste of plastic so they wouldn't buy me one either. At some point I learned beyblades where just spinning tops and couldn't really do all that cool shit like in the anime so I lost interest.
I had a arena and would play it with my brother and the Japanese kid in school. He had the remote control once and that was cool. Forget the combo I made but ended up beating him a few times. Had something to do with the green top. Have all of them to my son, he's a good kid.
Big part of my childhood, first season was my favourite, I also had a ps1 game that wasn't really good but I wanted it because it was a Beyblade game.
I watched the two sequels but disliked them because of the cgi beyblades, metal fusion was okay.
Tala was my absolute favourite too, I had his original beyblade. Rei was my second favourite.
Sometimes I wish I had a beyblade now to see how much I'll make it spin with my adult arms.
>Sometimes I wish I had a beyblade now to see how much I'll make it spin with my adult arms
I mean, I haven't looked up how much they cost but I cant imagine it's that much
What THE FUCK was his problem!?!?
He behaved as cunty as Sasuke Uchiha, but l don't remember Kai having an older brother that killed his family off.
Autism
>Literally hates Beyblades and wants to destroy every single Beyblade because of daddy/granddaddy issues
>Has a gang at the age of 12 bullying other kids and destroying their beyblades for this purpose
>Trains in snowy cold mountains like an autist
>Slaps the shit out of Carlos for losing to Tyson
>When he was a kid in Russia he along with Tala and other kids were trained to become Beyblade Soldiers for War
>Betrays his teammates like an autist
>Accidentally kills Wyatt in V-Force/2002
>Basically sacrifices his life to beat Brooklyn/prove he's a better blader than Tyson
>His fate is unknown in the end. Some speculate he died while some think Dranzer revived him.
This is just a small taste of his autism
Also, If i remember correctly, his dad left him for fucking beyblades. Beyblade was one fucked up show
I remember I had a knock-off beyblade that was pretty much undefeated in my circle of friends.
It really was. Max's mom left her son to work on beyblade science, and she pretty much hated him for not being on her team
>A world where kids are put through military training/drills, so they can compete to see who can spin a spinning top better. If they are deemed to weak, they're killed
What other ridiculous animes are there
A world where fucking rasputin created monsters that go into spinning tops. That's right, fucking Rasputin is in this shit
Didn't they also show Moses parting the motherfucking sea with a spinning top at some point?
No fucking way. I need to see that. Can you remember approximately when that happened?
If there's one thing I hated Kai for, it was returning Black Dranzer to the Russians WHILE IT STILL HAD EVERYONE ELSE'S BIT-BEASTS. That fucking idiot. He had only himself to blame when he jobbed in the first round.
She was the worst. Imagine manipulating a bunch of kids and humiliating your own son in order to prove your team of spinning top players is the best.
Max and his dad were too good for her.

Just found the clip, it happens in a later series though
It's from Metal Fusion. I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen in OG.

Fucking kek. I guess I know what I’m watching next
