At least it's better than DB
I personally agree on that, the writing is better than DB, but the beys :vomit:

Beys look like a toddler got a hold of a coloring set.

You say that as if all of burst isn't like that.

Hit the lowest point in QS though. Beys started looking like the drafts for OC beys.
Quick thoughts on early Burst (plus GT cause I couldn't stop myself from talking about it)

I could be wrong but didn't you already post something similar to this in the past? Nonetheless, I disagree with a hefty number of things here.
Despite it being controversial, no one can deny hype was at an all-time high during Sparking. Here are my opinions as to why.


I think these are 2 primary reasons why Sparking was able to capture the attention of so many fans, regardless of whether they were actively enjoying it or not. I hope they go back and consider some of the things Sparking excelled at, cause I would love something as hype as it to happen again.
It feels like X is moving quite slowly, or without as much structure. I think this is one of the reasons theorizing feels so different to me we have a vague end goal (Team Pendragon) with no clear avenue to get there. Burst was a series of tournaments, and by episode 15 we were at the climax of the first one. With MFB we had just established our main antagonist and were now exploring Gingka's origins. In X, we're just battling another team once again. You could say the path is obvious, we're going up the X Tower. But the problem here is that the X Tower's floors feel arbitrary. Entering the tower was cool, but ever since Team Persona casually skipped like 50 floors at once, A more solid sense of progression could not be established. At the very least they could spice up this formula, but even a 2-parter couldn't deliver on that.

I think the best thing to do would be to get Team Persona high enough to a point where the floor climbing system changes. Say they're like, 10 floors away, so the system changes to where they have a tournament, and the winning team heads to the top floor to challenge Team Pendragon. It doesn't have to be as simple as a tournament, just something more concrete.

Yeah, this must be the slowest start to a Beyblade season I've ever seen.

It’s like it’s the same writers who made DB, except they went to the opposite extreme of bad pacing.

Even though I don’t hate the show or anything like that tbh things are starting to get really boring and I think part of that is just the way they done Bird but also the plot just not advancing in fact DB was honestly more interesting by this point despite it’s slow pacing but X is just really eh. It also doesn’t help that while I like Kamen & Multi I feel like we aren’t seeing anything really happen with them unfortunately. I just hope things pick up in the second half of the season as things are surely gonna start getting interesting (please)

The main hooks for Multi and Ekusu are gonna be meeting Multi's family and Ekusu rematching Chrome. The problem is we don't know when these things will happen and can't estimate a potential time frame they will take place, because the plot is progressing normally. Rather than going from one plot point to the next, it seems like it's just repeating the same formula of team battles with the promise of eventually having major progression (reaching the top of the tower), which some interesting details sprinkled in.
The slow pacing must be an anime thing, since it has double the content yet it's on the same track, if not, behind the manga.

Pri also wasn't on the list. I'd put here either right before Lane, or right after him (on low magnificent level)

Him tier: Looks right

Built different tier: I would put Aiga ahead of Bell and Pax since he's stronger

Magnificent tier: I honestly don't know how I feel having Rashad there, he's not weak but I don't see him being in the same tier as Lui and Free... Idk, this one is debatable

Strong tier: Makes sense Lane is first. I would put Drum ahead of Hikaru based on how both performed in QS and Kit & Rantaro ahead of Basara. Pri should also be added here.

Solid tier is solid(maybe bump up Delta or Daigo)

Meh seems about right
I got a random question do you ever think they would make a beyblade anime with all generations of beyblade? or it wouldn't work?
Funnily enough I thought about it yesterday. At least a special or something, where all the past and present protagonists meet up and have to do stuff together. They could make some specialised Beys for it too to sell. Don't think it will ever happen though.

I haven't watched the Beyblade X anime yet, how much does it deviate from the manga?

Hella filler, lots of animation errors and reused animation. What the manga could get through in one chapter would take 2 episodes with filler content in between.
doesnt most manga just basically narrate the anime?

Yes, but for Beyblade the mediums tend to differentiate from each other, following the same plot but being told in a different order of events and some elements being altered. Same song, different singer, different genre.
yk whats funny about beyblade is that I feel like they switch the characters so much you can never really get attached to one lol
