Imma have to disagree. Tyson's a tie or a hair less good of protagonist than Valt, and imo Gingka's a better protagonist.


What is your ranking for the three beyblade gens?

Nostalgia wise:
1. MFB
2. OG
3. Burst
I continue to be amazed at the beauty of Ueda's art and animation style. I was just rewatching the Sparking finale and she truly did a beautiful job. Her style is so vibrant and expressive. 

Even in the quieter moments like this when we're not in the thick of the action, everything feels very much alive.

She's truly talented. I hope she does a couple of episodes in DB.

Yeah. That's what I've gathered thus far, but I'm hoping she's at least done one episode this season. She's really good. I really enjoy her visual style.

That or We could be possibly just get a few moments animated by ueda just like she did in ep 14 of sparking where lean debuted.
Ahhh Dynamite Battle is so epic and wow just wow Roar Bahamut is so cool
1. Standard Bey Stadium (Every season obviously)
2. Xhakuenji Special Stadium (Season 1)
3. Viking Fang Stadium (Season 1 & 3)
4. Cyclone Stadium (Season 1)
5. Mugen (Infinity) Stadium (Season 2)
6. Double Decker Stadium (Season 2 & 3)
7. Slingshock Stadium (Season 3)
8. Musou Stadium (Season 3)
9. Super Slingshock Stadium (Season 3)
10. Dual Rail Slingshock Stadium (Season 3)
11. Flying Slingshock Stadium (Season 3)
12. Hyper Double Stadium (Season 4)
13. Speed Double Stadium (Season 4)
14. Speed Storm Stadium (Season 5)
15. Ultimate Storm Stadium (Season 5)
16. Dynamite Driver Stadium (Season 6)

I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any, but my goodness, that's a ton of stadiums. Oh yeah, and all those special Slingshock Stadiums don't have official names so I kinda just slapped some on them.
HOT TAKE: Beyblade Burst got one of the most awesome and unique character designs in anime (ex: Lui, Gwyn, Rashad, Kurtz, Free, Hikaru, and etc.....). Some of Burst's character designs are more interesting than those of Naruto, Attack of Titan, Yugioh, One Piece, My Hero Academia and many other anime.
Good news is I got to watch much Beyblade through Disney XD On Demand!

I partially agree with this. For one thing, I noticed that Burst is noticeably a lot more colorful and lively than the other series. While it could be due to higher budget and better animation, Im noting that its livelier color-wise. The previous series — while still having what people call “anime hair” — does have its fair share of realistic hair styles. In Burst, theres a noticeably less amount of realistic hairstyles than the previous series. Most of the Burst cast either has very vivid, gravity-defying, borderline-supernatural, or a combination of said traits the hairstyle. And in anime, typically the hair is something that stands out — though, even Bursts’s outfits are pretty interesting too! Especially what Red Eye wears

So yep, I somewhat agree that Burst has really unique and eye-catching character designs. Burst stands out from the other Beyblade series that way too

Burst even gave us some unique protagonist's design compared to other anime like Drum, Hikaru, and Bell. I never saw an anime protagonist with short hair or a mohawk before. And the fact we got in Burst shows that Burst does stuff unique and interesting.

Who is your favorite tag team in Sparking?
Mine is Lui and Drum Smile

Same

Aiga and Ranjiro were my personal favourite, really let off that ¨bro vibe.¨ I also thought Drum and Lui were pretty cool but they aren't my favourite duo simply because many of their battles seemed to focus on the opposing duo.

Valt & Rantaro. Lui & Dante are very close seconds.

Ngl, those two are pretty much the only likeable team aside from Valt & Rantaro...and the main reason I managed to put up with the Super Legend Tag League.
It's Time to answer on this question. We all know that Valt Aoi - legend among legends is the strongest blader. All seasons proved that. He worked hard and use all his power to be at this peak. But a lot of people think that Valt Don't use his full power. Is Valt using all his power? Does he hold?
Possible hot take: I think Burst should have had 10 minute episodes. My reasoning is that during the District and National Tournaments ant lots of times they felt drawn out, so being forced to work with small run time would make each episodes be more plot focused, because they don't have extra time to put filler in. More plot focus probably means more progression, which is the solution to the aforementioned problem.

A good hot take, but as shown with episodes from GT all the way to the current DB episodes, slower developmental moments can get drawn out without necessarily being potent at all. Take that birthday scene with Ranzo in episode 13(?) of DB. Somewhat interesting to see, but not necessary to the plot. Sure, some parts of Season 1 and 2 did feel longer than needed, but they provided necessary development mixed with comedy and other artistic purposes, so it was usually bearable. Now the filler just takes up half the episode leaving little time for the battles and such. If time was prioritized better, I could see 10 minute episodes working, even if it's a stretch. Just my opinion, if any of that made any sense.

Well with GT and DB they don't have much so they have to stretch it out. Burst actually has the most content to adapt, but it still feels stretched out. Having shorter episodes would probably force them to stop adding random filler that made that season full like it had slow progression.

Yes because if you go all out against a newbie you can break their bey. "But Unseen, you can only break a Beyblade if you want to break it" Quiet Jim I'm talking Jim: Unhappy
That's not entirely true. Remember Bell Vs Ransou? Bell broke Gilde Ragnaruk on accident without the intent of breaking it. Bell overpowered Ransou and went all out but Ransou couldn't handle that type of power besides he was using a DB Bey so he overpowered Ransou by a lot using this evidence I can deduce that if you don't hold back in some battles you can break a bey another example, Shu Vs Lui. Lui accidentally broke Spriggan but it wasn't his fault since Spriggan was already damaged and they both went all out causing Spriggan to break it wasn't because Shu was weak or Lui wanted to break it, it was because Shu was pushing Spriggan a bit to much in the battle he had with Wakiya so if he had not pushed Spriggan that hard and had Spryzen mended Spriggan would not have broken so Yes Valt does hold back but for good reason.
I just noticed that half of Burst had 24 minute episodes while the others have 12 (I think)
