It's only a little bit above the likes of Spin Off series, Zero-G, and 4D.
That's only because it had some likable characters. Tyson was awful; he spazzes a lot and says he quits, wants to train alone, carp like that. 3 times I think. Probably more.
And the World Tournament wasn't even how it should be done. Seriously, just letting a new team challenge the Champs OUT OF THE BLUE and Mr. D agrees?!? Why! There's a reason teams fight to get to the finals; you HAVE to EARN IT. You can't just ASK.
I liked the Cyber idea. But reusing it for the dark series was excessive. The mental struggle of Kane and his friends was actually pretty deep. Liked it. I found the Saint Shield to be...meh. Mariam was cool, Ozuma was meh, Joseph was annoying, and I HATE Dunga. He's so boring.
And the big problem, Bit Beast capturing.
Okay, as if it wasn't already trying to be Pokemon but his spinning tops with monsters inside instead of monsters that come out of balls; now they make it more or less JUST LIKE POKEMON. Plus, why would they even NEED them after they made the Cyber Bit Beasts? And it makes no sense...they go from one story to the next.
Okay, I like Zeo. He was pretty damn interesting. But his voice *ear braking* agh. King and Queen were SO unnecessary. Same with Gordo, Zeo's Partner. In the strangely...JAPAN ONLY- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Makes so much sense.
Someone made a drinking game out of this anime. Look it up...damn.
Mariam and Ozuma were OK but good lord that episode with Her and Max was when I said "was this really neccessary? Do I gotta look at how great Mariam is?" Nah just kidding but in all seriousness the only real memorable episodes were the Cyber bit beasts with Kane and Co, Salima was soooo amazing despite being voiced by Susan Roman, also I found it hilarious when Kane kept moaning and crying after his beyblade was crushed by King and Queen, it may sound cruel of me but I say grow a spine if anyone was offended, at least it's entertaining.
I'll do a review of each series if Kai-V lets me, but it's an overall of the series so it's only gonna be like a page long.
OK this has got to be addressed right away and I know people will disagree and bash on me for this but why do they focus on Max more than Ray? It may seem false but that's how I just feel, here's why:
.In V-Force they gave Max and Tyson great opponents in the beginning of the championships(Ok I get that they didn't battle them) but Ray and Kai got two generic opponents.
.Ray sometimes has no interesting things to say, usually he would say "Yeah!" Or "sure did" but Max seems to usually have more to say, isn't Max and Ray suppose to get equal roles, they kinda do but kinda don't also.
.Max gets seven upgrades, Ray only got six and I may seem nit picky but why everyone got a beyblade before the S series while Ray didn't is baffling, and Daichi doesn't count.
.In the qualifier tournament of Ray vs Tyson they cut Rays battle short saying "I'm no match for oh Tyson" Ok then why Max got three battles but Rays was cut short.
Ok I think I made my point, if you disagree then that's fine but I just wanted to express my thoughts. If you tell me "but there are Ray only episodes too", well there are Max only episodes.
OK time to give a brief sentence thought of each series before I review them:
Beyblade 2000-2001 - Good start, Funny and Charming, I like it.
Beyblade V-Force - A downgrade that is watchable but it's boring.
Beyblade G-Revolution - An absolutely great series which ended the classic series nicely.
Beyblade Metal Fusion - Both Raw And Dub version are heartwarming and charming.
Beyblade Explosion - A nice take on the world championships and is fun, but the dub is a bleh.
Beyblade 4D - What a miserable excuse of a series, boring characters and story.
Beyblade Zero G - With a new system you think it be better, but Oh My God it's even worse, I can hardly watch it, I had a better time watching Swirl Fighters.
Beywheelz - Boring and nonsensical, this turned me off of the term "Bey", thanks Beywheelz, Beywheels are not beys! Call them Wheelz or something, also cliche characters.
Beyraiderz - It's the worst Beyblade related series ever made, boring and uninteresting, too cheesy and like Beywheelz TOTALLY CLICHE.
Sorry for long post but I just had to say all this. As for related stuff like Swirl Fighters and ugh Top Plate, that's next time.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
In case there is no translation I will be forced to buy the japanese one.![[Image: OdngHMS.png]](https://i.imgur.com/OdngHMS.png)
