If not, then perhaps her older sister used to be a very strong blader maybe still is but just not in X tower. This is kind of the same story as Itoshi Rin and his old bro Sae in BlueLock.

Some people might argue that the girl from Team Pendragon looks to be the same age as Multi but I disagree. I think she's at least a 2-3 years older than Multi which would make this hypothesis of mine perfect.

Why do I see a lot of fans out there shipping Bird and Multi? Like a ton of them from Twitter and comments from Youtube and Reddit.

Burst has the worst animation out of all the gens, objectively speaking.

If you go back and watch the older seasons (all of Bakuten and Metal Fight are on YouTube) it's really a no-brainer that Burst simply has better motion. However the art-style is purely subjective, I personally prefer Takafumi Adachi's designs but that's just me.

(Dec. 04, 2023  3:25 AM)Xcess-Z Wrote: Been browsing Sakugabooru and I gotta keep it real with you guys. Burst is easily the best animated Beyblade gen, and I really hope X gets to its level and even exceeds it. The problem here is that Burst was able to build up a consistent workflow and star-studded lineup over time. Hypothetically X could do the same thing, Burst didn't start with Sparking-level animation, but the problem is that X is specifically starting on a rushed foundation. To salt into the wound, almost all of the big-name Sakuga animators have officially moved on from Beyblade, making it impossible to call upon their hope.

The thing is, I don't necessarily think it's over, or anything like that. We've already seen the anime improve over time, with a more consistent art quality and more fluid motion. Of course, this isn't anything amazing, it just means that it's finally reached ground level, but it is progress. It's possible to get plenty of new Sakuga animators so that a new line-up of star animators and directors can be created. OLM doesn't necessarily have MAPPA level draw, but it still has been seen that new blood can and will step up to the plate if given the opportunity.

This is already going deep into the future though. For now, since we have consistent quality, they need to keep on maintaining it, and upping it to the best of their ability during pivotal moments. The first pivotal moment would be the debut, but that was a no-go, they weren't even at ground level yet. The intro to the X Tower being a pivotal moment is highly debatable,  but that episode did get the same treatment. We don't have anymore that we know of, but if I had to guess, the next one should be related to Burn given that he's explicitly getting build-up before his debut instead of debuting and fighting on the spot (which is standard for major characters, like main antagonists).  After Dagger debuts next week we should get into Kadovar's trial, meaning Burn shouldn't be too far behind, maybe about a month maximum. We'll just have to wait and see if they can pull through.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that something they should be doing during the process of evolving is creating a more unique experience. For example, Burst is known for emphasizing launches. This is pretty obvious seeing how they dedicate full scenes and crazy choreography too them, but that only started with the Cross Shoot and Bakuso Shot. Both of these debuted in the final arc of the show, so I'm willing to give the X team time.

You haven’t even watched Burst newer seasons (which should have better animation) but you think it has the worst animation?? Come on now.

What's your basis? I can tell you with a 100% certainty that Burst's animation is objectively better than Bakuten's and MFB's. Burst had better names, was much more consistent, had better outputs, and best of all had a more creative route with the animation/direction a lot of the episodes had. Just like what @Xcess-Z said, you are confusing art styles with animation. Sure you can prefer MFB's art style more than Burst but when it comes to animation, direction, storyboarding, Burst just gaps incredibly hard.

I haven’t even watched DB in full yet I know it’s garbage. That’s kinda what you get when the animation studio is OLM.

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.
