Or maybe toys that are copying Beyblade?

BeyBroncos, but because they have ruins little kids dreams, BeyBroncos where sold when MFB was popular...
So imagine... you are a little kid from 5 to 8 years and your mom or grandma tells she has a beyblade for you, and you think "yay my own pegasus!" and then you unwrapped a fake plastic beyblade lol
They are not bad fake plastic beyblades, but by context...

Infinity Nado is probably the worst I've seen. The quality actually isn't that bad, but they are basically just "Beyblades Philippines Version." The anime is cringy and awful too, even the ripcords and launchers look similar. It's hilarious XD

Just wait till you see Swirl Fighters... It's worse than Infinity Nado, the show is awful in quality, probably the worst as animation is repeated ALL the time, the art style doesn't know what it's trying to be, the acting isn't that bad but the english most certainly is, the sound effects suck and one scene ACTUALLY reused a scene from Beyblade, which was the showing of Draciel S, except the recoloured it blue trying to be Tigers fighter.
I made a thread dedicated to it and you should see the posts we made.

The best Beyblade spin-off: King of Warrior EX.
It's like some awful live-action cross between Power Rangers and Beyblade, but so much weirder ha ha.

WHAT THE- HOLY HELL!
Who asked for a spinning top DRAMA! That's a stupid idea, it's like if Beyblade became super serious and edgy, it wouldn't work, it didn't for Sonic The Hedgehog. Not to mention the effects happen to be some of the worst I have ever seen! But... Maybe I gotta watch it and it could be... good?

That first episode is slightly more watchable for me now than it was three or four years ago, huh...
still, lmao, the first and last sci-fi spinning top drama in China, or anywhere for that matter

That's right, because making a drama on magical spinning tops was a bad idea.
And this load has 52 episodes, YES! 52 EPISODES!

I'd say there are bulk-cases of extremely hollow tops held together with tension, and are often so rough edged the layers do not sit evenly. These usually are the worst because of the principle of Higher Capacity/Worse Quality, a very blatant use of Planned Obsolescence...

I move around a lot between Japan and London so I spend a lot of time in and around Asia. You tend to see stuff that you'd never see in Europe lol.
I knew about the tournaments but I had no idea about the sexy ladies, can't say I'm surprised though XD

I have a beyblade knock off called storm wind super speed tops theres one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Storm-Wind-Sup...2356467089 they are very crappy the weight disk and ripcords break...
Jul. 12, 2016 10:57 AM
Ah alright, I guess I've always wanted to give my own thoughts to this. I think the most horrible Beyblade knock-offs are:
Infinity Nado
But alas... there is a knock-off even worse than Infinity Nado and it's...
Swirl Fighters
Infinity Nado

Toys
The toys look like a poor man's version of MFB. I can't really say much about the toy's quality but in term of asthetics, they are ugly! Instead of actually sticking to a direct colour-scheme, they choose the most random and repulsive colours they can. I guess they thought that making it colourful would make it eye-catching towards children, well here are the problems with that. Making them all too colourful might make them blend in too much and the abundant amount of colours can be confusing for newcomers (instead of sticking to a unique colour scheme). The designs are also too rounded and clustered as if they cannot decide what they wanted it to look like. It just seems thrown together making it yet again blend in too much like the Top Plate series does. Granted, there are some decent looking ones like Whisker but what they did with the other ones, they look bad.
They also seem to have random nonsensical parts like a moving metal semi-flat tip (kinda like if you made M145SF) which does not work any better than M145Q and ugghhh... a tip that has a wheel. No I'm not even kidding (I would find a picture of it in the "anime" but that means I have to sit though hours of torture... speaking of which...).
The Show
The show itself. If you want a textbook example of what not to do in a cartoon/anime that isn't SD Gundam Force, it's by any of the shows made by Alpha Animation. AA is an animation studio known for making knock-offs of other anime/cartoons like Bakugan or Crush Gears Turbo but making them essentially more ridiculous and more unwatchable. One of these examples are the Infinity Nado cartoon.
The Story - Infinity Nado has that "good vs evil/taking over the world plot" with their spinning tops which is kinda like the MFB except it is surprisingly more ridiculous because of the way they slowly move and harness their powers. I should also note that their advertising during every episode is more shameless than the MFB series could ever be.
The Animation - The animation is pretty bad as the characters have a limited walking animation with some badly drawn characters and choppy movements topped with bad CGI. Whilst it isn't the worst animation I've seen in the first series as it's not that glaring, it's definitely inferior to even V-Force.
The Characters - Whilst the characters aren't horrible, they're completely boring. It may have something to do with the dreadful voice acting but they are so emotionless. The main character might be the most unique one as the isn't the typical hot-blooded character and the other three main characters can be summed up as the comic relief, the silent type and the wealthy girl who are just there to have main characters.
Overall - If there was one credit where I'd have to give this series, it's that the theme song is pretty decent but when it comes to the writing, the animation and the characters, it's a very flawed series (much like other Alpha Animation-related shows) and should only be watched for those who can only get access to Infinity Nado and not Beyblades because otherwise, I'd recommend you stay away from this series.

The Toys
These toys are the Infinity Nado equivalent to the Plastics era. They have relatively bland or generic designs that look like they were ripped off from other Plastic beys. They aren't that ugly but they look very cheap and the colours are extremely dull and once again, I cannot say much for the quality but they look like they probably don't work very well (however, I might be wrong). But then we have the third series which looks like a massive downgrade of the first series of Battle Strikers (which were kinda cool) as it is topped with ugly designs and hideous colour schemes. There also aren't a massive selection of tops (containing like only 10 per series... yes, there is more than one series). Why anyone would ever buy them, I will never know due to the atrocious show which will never convince anyone to buy them. Just buy Plastics over these!
The Show
Uggghhhh my god... this show is absolutely horrible in every single way. It's like the Bubsy 3D equivalent to cartoons with the most horrendous and unacceptable quality to rome over television in channels like Chinamax.
The Story - The story is absolutely terrible. It either feels like it has no story at all or one that is so bad that I want to forget it ever existed, why? Well it goes for a horribly executed "good vs evil/taking over the world" plot with little to no explaination as to why leaving it looking ridiculous. Instead, it focuses of wasting time with bad slapstick and dumb sidetracks like how a character called Hali Bu is constantly modest about himself which leads to nowhere at all. I also hate the villain's plan to take over the world by hosting a tournament... only to lose BUT still win anyway meaning the villain wins in the end of the series (I'll explain why this is bad once I talk about the characters). It also does not help that the writing is all clustered with no pacing at all and writing that seems to do whatever it wants in order to waste time and fill in 39 episodes of torture.
The Animation - OH. MY. GOD! I don't know how they managed to make the animation so bad that it puts Foodfight to shame (especially being that SF is 2D animated) but they found a way. The animation is so horrendous as the characters often slide in poorly drawn backgrounds making them contrast way too much and look hideous as it looks like they don't even belong in the background at all. The CGI is predictably horrendous with the most unnatural movements ever and ugly colours for the tops. The characters have no thought put into their designs at all as they range from generic to horrendously awful as some look like they weren't finished. It also doesn't help that the characters are so badly drawn with the most horrendous colour schemes possible that it makes them hideously unwatchable and the worst part is that they recycle animation constantly and yes, I know most cartoon and anime do this but this does ot EVERY TIME. I also don't like how the character designs get recycled and flashing backgrounds that were added there without any rhyme or reason. Because of the terrible animation, it makes the slapsticks and the movements of the characters unberable.
The Characters - Ugh... the characters are so bad! Asode from their emotionless voice-acting and their lack of personality, it uses a bunch of cliches for the characters. Firstly, the ginger main character is a generic sidekick and is sadly one of the character because he is the most heroic one (even though he isn't the main character), the mechanic named Lai Fi is a bland female character who contributes very little, the character with the green hair named Hali Bu is an obnoxious Ray rip-off, the blue haired character is the top rival who is the best character because he is the least annoying one and the villain is a stupid villain because he can never ever decide on what plan he wants to stick with and just looks like a dumb alien as if he was from the Teletubbies. But then we have the elephant in the room... the main character (the one with purple hair). He loses EVERY. SINGLE. TIME... I'm not kidding, he never develops nor does he get any stronger, he would rather stay in his comfort zone and be a useless loser that never wins a single match (this may sound like it would be funny but not when it happens every time). He is aso a useless character that doesn't even try and save his friends from any shambles they are in and he is overall just unlikeable...
Overall - I never thought I would find something worse than Mechnimals but this one managed to be even worse with the atrocious story, clustered writing, bad jokes, the worst animation ever made and unberable characters. Even a Hametsu No Mars is a better excuse of a show than this "anime" imitator. I do not recommend this at all because this is just the most unbearable thing I have ever seen and possibly one of (if not) the worst thing I have ever seen.
