Anime/Beyblade

Anyone remember this? The only one I watched was the original series.

I liked the spinning tops and srs business thereof.

:3

I remember watching it at some point on TV.

The anime wasn't very interesting to me, though I did like the (real-life) tops for a while.

Then all my parts got lost somewhere.

This was one of the few shows where I actively slashed the cast.

I read that as slashing the cast with a bladed top.

I liked Takao/Tyson's stuff. And the toy spun in the opposite direction of most of the other toys.

Well, if the show is to be believed said tops are rather sharp when spun.

I liked the guy with the white tiger beyblade the most.

You mean Rei? Yeah, he's cool. And I loved to ship him with Kai - I remember.

I woulda liked this show if the beyblades actually worked like they did in the anime...

I couldn't believe they made an advertising anime even harder to swallow than Yu Gi Oh...and that show had "card games originating from Egypt" as it's premise!

@Kirino: Not surprising. Then again the original series was so Blue Bishōnen Ghetto...

Not surprised, especially as Kai is so much the brooding anti-hero type.

^Which made him cool, amirite? (gets smacked)

The new series makes me groan from the cheesiness. Both in good and bad ways.

meh. I preferred Yu-Gi-Oh!.

also, LET IT RIP.

I liked the opening song and the focus on the humans' characterizations.

I liked their The Four Gods motif.

It's because of the hair isn't it

I didn't watch much of it, but I can never forget this intro music.

Ooh, a Beyblade thread. Been a while since I've seen it.

I remember being infuriated by general bad parent and barely-averted Karma Houdini Judy Tate - and the nutso corporation she worked for spending what must have been billions on a kids' spinning tops game.

Beyblade Burst is pretty good. It's better than Beyblade Zero-G but I still prefer Metal Fight Beyblade.

Seriously though, they got Carlos to voice for the one liner/pun-riddled Nelvana dub, and made him play a straight faced type. What the hell?

I haven't seen Burst from the start so I'm confused on the sentience of are beyblades. I remember them being mon's in the original series but in the sequels they just seem like tops.

The original had the most metal soundtrack for a game about spinning tops ever.

That's my cue:

And:

and of course:

....wow, they went nuts with this soundtrack.

It's pure fucking 2000's nu!edge and it's great
