I'm not slating the season or anything, the season is fine so far. I just wanted to give my little nitpick... and yes, this will be another rant about how much I dislike mini-moe characters in general and about how this season's mini-moe is annoying so far.
Chuck, this season's unfortunate resident mini-moe type character, is already being annoying like Takane, which is saying a lot for me. I know that he's supposed to be super-excitable because he's a little kid, but I don't care. He's just so irritating.
I seriously don't understand why we need another character like Takane from GT (or any pointless mini-moes for that matter), when he was already like Burst's worst character IMO. Yeah, I know he's meant to appeal towards the younger audience, but was there really a demand for Takane 2.0?! Like seriously, did people really need another version of Takane so much, they made another one except he's doesn't do the exposition carp, so he's more useless.
Anyways, enough of that! Time to give my thoughts on this episode!
Beyblade Burst Sparking - Episode 4 (Review)
I like the episode, I like seeing tag team battles in general and seeing that both Hyuga and Hikaru struggling to work together compared to the more synced Kiyama brothers is cool, as it shows they don't work very well together from the get go and have to find a way to sync their moves together.
The battles were also pretty simple, but cool. I liked the battle between Hikaru and Ranjiro, Hikaru is a bit similar to Aiga in that he's tactical and that he owns a Balance Type bey, so he seems like a fitting opponent to fight Ranjiro haha. The tag team battle had some really cool moves from both the brother teams, the Kiyama brothers using a move called "Double Tornado" and the Asahi brothers using one called "Twin Strike" which are both tag team moves, pretty cool! What I like is that even though Ranjiro does lose easily (no duh), Rantaro's bey doesn't get bursted which does show that he lives up to the Legendary Bladers title and it does make sense, since he's had more experience than his brother.
There were also some funny banter between the two pair of brothers, they both bicker amongst one another and both the Kiyama brothers must be having a lot of déjà vu hanging out with two brothers who act quite similar to both their main rivals, back when they were younger.
Really not much to complain about, besides... him! But that's a nitpick, though I wish he was toned down, after the character we've had in the previous season.
Overall, a good episode!
Eh, I will think of something to put here...
... later ;)
