Satire right? OLM is one of the most consistent studios when it comes to bringing an output in animation. I don't know where you saw or who told you that OLM is bad but it is no where near being that. If you want to worry about an anime studio, I suggest you take a look at MAPPA.

Mappa slaps OLM any day of the year, wat are you talking about?

Aren’t you the guy with the burning hatred for Beyblade X?

Absolutely not. Especially in terms of consistency. If you know how they manage production and how they treat their staff you'll know how terrible it really is.

Lmao have you watched zom 100? If not, then you'll come to know that the same has happened in OLM. Also, it's not fair for OLM to be compared with Mappa lol. I know they've worked on Pokemon but that's about it. Mappa is in the big boy club now with Ufotable and others while OLM is going down a sink hole.

Zom 100 i've watched and it was made by Bugfilms a new studio. What you don't know is that originally Kojima who was a team leader at OLM wanted to separate not because of horrid conditions like Mappa, but to make a bigger name of himself by working on more projects. And when others in OLM heard they joined with him. OLM has worked on Pokemon, Beyblade Burst, Komi, Berserk, and Summer Time Rendering which are all consistent high quality shows, especially Burst. Saying Mappa is in the "big boy club" is funny since I don't see much of a future for them with how they are running things. It's crazy how on Twitter every first time animator that worked on JJK said that they will never return or wish anybody to work at Mappa ever again. And honestly, Ufotable isn't even that great of a studio. Demon Slayer is their golden child but even then S3 sucked horribly with production with Nozomu Abe carrying the season. OLM is only going to get better with bringing in new aspiring animators and directors that can honestly be huge names in the future.

OLM also has horrible conditions for it's animators, as seen in the video on the official beyblade channel. Also I don't know where all this praise is coming from when X has so many animation and continuity errors for only being 2 months old.

Every studio essentially does. What differentiates Mappa with others is that they take away the ambition from animators and directors by not giving them enough time to finish their works and by the law of ghosting and dimming. Animators then get bashed on social media while it isn't even their fault and to top it all off, Mappa gets all the credit when they are the cause of the animators not meeting their ambition. X has a lot of potential and they are honestly doing a lot better than the manga by adding a ton of anime only scenes which not only elevate the story but characters too. OLM can bring fresh animators in and we can see those animators grow through X. The exact same thing happened in Burst.

The teammates on team yggdrasil are named Yuni Namba (the girl with a unicorn bey) and Zonamos Nekoyama (dude with the hat and a sphinx bey)

The AI discussion is irrelevant to whatever discussion you guys are having, since the music video is from Warner Music and not affiliated with the anime team.

At least your admitting faults. Respect. But like Kio said, Warner Bros handles a number of the promotional's. Not OLM.

Yeah, Takumi ain't beating them fraud allegations. His @ss is supposed to be Pro but he losing to everybody especially with his "10 years of training". Like, what he was being doing for 10 years lmao.

Takumi in the manga is supposedly a floor 1 Pro; which means he never beat Kadovar Test either.

What is Burn waffling about (Part 2) (Featuring My First Monthly Tier List)

Spoiler (Click to View)

I gotta say, I still dislike Multi's characterization in the manga. She's a bit too blunt and aggressive, but in the anime, she's more well-rounded.

The moment where Burn beats all 5 of the Bladers at the same is kinda cool, but with the established power scaling it's not that crazy when Ekusu and King could do the same thing. Side note, I find the double spread on page 11 a bit lacking.

Also, as I said before, Burn is just yapping. How does changing the Blade make the Bey exponentially faster, shouldn't the Bit be the deciding factor? Like, I think his plan is fun, but it doesn't make sense when you consider the speed should be mostly dictated by the Bit, and both Feather and Wing use GF.

It's nice to see Team Zooganic and Kadovar watching in the stands, I hope they get more battles soon. Side note #1: We finally get properly introduced to Ichigo in the Manga. Side note #2: It's a bit sad they're making two super cool fully unique Beyblades for the other members of Yggdrasil when they're just jobbers who will most likely battle once and never again.

We finally get to see Dran Dagger in action, and it's pretty cool, but really in a bad spot. Hells Chain was cooler last week, and Phoenix Wing is cooler this week, so it has no time to shine on its own. As far as the Bey Time Shift goes, it is cool seeing the actual mechanics of it in action, but it still makes no sense, to be honest. Also, the X Dash itself wasn't that interesting. I feel like it's less about the moment in the story and more about the art though. This is supposed to be the fastest in history, but the art makes it seem like a standard X-Dash. Something like the light-refracting effect around Genesis Reboot would've been ideal.

The ending gives us a cliffhanger but we all know Ekusu isn't losing, so I don't think it's worth discussing.

I think this is the optimal time to do an anime-only tournament

Spoiler (Click to View)

Burst loved its anime-only tournament, so if X wanted to do one I think the optimal time would be with Burn's debut. They could change it from Burn distributing Phoenix Feather and letting word of mouth carry his plan, to specifically setting up a tournament featuring Phoenix Feather to show it off on a grand scale.

This would be a good way to get everyone that isn't Team Persona another fight as well. I imagine the bracket would be somewhat like this:

---

A quick explanation of each round:
Multi has acted as Bird's main guide for the Pro Scene, so giving him a final lesson (Shu and Lain-esque, just with less hatred) where she pushes him to start evolving as a person and a blader would be cool. You could say it's too early, but even though we're like, 8 chapters in, I think everyone already agrees Bird needs to step it up at this point.

Maiden and Kadovar are both adult pros, so a match between them would be cool. Also, they know each other, so a little backstory into what the pro scene was like around 10 years ago would be cool.

Ekusu sweeps Toguro obviously, but Toguro's whole thing is not having confidence in himself. So Ekusu beating him, but still affirming his strength (in a "stand proud, you're strong" type of way) would be nice.

Tbh I don't have much of a reason for King to fight Chop Pan specifically, but getting to see the dynamic between Team Zooganic would be nice.

Maiden takes up the classic shonen "sensei" role despite not actually battling much, so having her face off with her Team again would be cool. Also, some more insight into Multi's family would be cool, and I'd assume, if anyone, someone like them would have it.

Ekusu vs King would just be a classic rematch episode. King only lost because he switched to playing defensively, so seeing a full-on clash between the two with no holds barred would be great. They did say King of Beasts with weaker than X Dash 4X, but we've already seen different applications with X Dash, like with Burning Maneuver. So seeing King experiment with that would be great.

As for the finale, we'd finally get to see a fight between Ekusu and Maiden, since originally Ekusu got to skip fighting her since he's already a pro.  And of course, once Ekusu wins his prize is the chance to fight Burn, Battle Island style, where he will then reveal his Phoenix Wing.

Thoughts on X so far?

Thoughts on X so far?

Overall subpar so far.

At this point, I think it's fair to say the first arc of Beyblade X (the introduction and first climbing of the X Tower) is finished, right? If we were to evaluate it as a whole so far, I'd say it's a solid starting point, but doesn't provide as solid of a foundation compared to other series. Beyblade Burst's District Tournament was quite simple, but because of this, it could prioritize character interaction. Due to this, it ended up having solid character foundations to work on for the future of the entire Generation.

Comparing this to X, there's a lot of initially presented, but we haven't got the chance to dive into a lot of aspects, besides the X Tower lore and a few characters (really just Bird and Burn I guess). The problem with the X Tower is that it is the setting for right now, but we don't know if it'll be used in later seasons, so we can't say for sure whether or not it can be used as a long-lasting foundation. As for characters, as I said, the only ones we've explored in any depth are Bird and Burn so far. Burn has interesting concepts, but his main impacts in the story are more intriguing than impactful in any way. As for Bird, they have explored his character the most, but I just feel like it's not up to snuff compared to what we've seen before.

Every other character in X shows potential, but we haven't dived into them yet, so I won't comment on them. But even in the District Tournament, each character has multiple sides shown, highlighting Valt and Shu specifically. And I feel that Valt and Shu's focused rival dynamic ended up making both of their characters have mind-bogglingly strong starts (with Valt losing in his climactic battle, and Shu fighting through an arm injury to show his determination).

Kinda just more rambling on my part, but yeah. I'm planning to rewatch MFB very soon (inspired by it trending on social media), so expect me to ramble on about that as well. Also, I just want to say that my intention isn't to just compare X to the previous season, I want to see it for what new it brings to the table. But I do feel like it still consists of the wider picture of the whole franchise, so I do reference other seasons when talking about it.

Don't know why, but I have a feeling the writers...

.... Secretly setting up Bird as the antagonist against Kamen X, or maybe Bird getting possessed by Sycthe halfway through the season...

But that's just my theory, doesn't see happening at all, thought.

I mean they do kinda have a good setup for something like that but I kinda hope they don’t go the possession route

I doubt it. Bird is literally the Protagonist for X and I don’t think they’ll do possession in X or something.

I think with the more experience Bird gains as a Blader going up against opponents who are consistently stronger than him, he will be able to use this experience and formulate a strategy

The One Piece is the friends we made a long the way.

I realized that most mangas get 2 years for their season 1 (covering the "prototype" system and then the first real system, ala Single to Dual Layer) but it seems like X won't get that luxury. This seems to be the case because the anime already started alongside the manga, and I doubt it'll have a 2-year long season. This makes me think of 2 things:

1. I guess the seasons will start in the fall now? I got used to them starting in April, so I would hope X ends this October, and then Season 2 starts next fall. This would put a pretty sizeable break in between these 2 seasons, but it would only happen once, and the anime needs one regardless. Idk about this though, since the Manga would take a hiatus as well, since it would have to wait until next Spring for the next System.

2. It seems like X won't be allowed to cook as long as the previous season 1s. Having 2 years for MFB and Burst let them be more fleshed in as first seasons. When I see that we're halfway through Season 1, it makes me question the series a bit more. I think the 3 main things the series has me expecting after the Burn plotline resolves are: Multi's family, Bird having some major development, and Ekusu's rivalry with Chrome getting some payoff. I'm curious to see how all of these things will be handled.
