Anyone remember Beyblade?

*Wesley* · 10-13-2014, 05:20 PM

I watched the dub of it from 2003 to 2007. I thought it started off boring, but got better about halfway through the first season. I lost interest in the series towards the end of the second season and didn't watch much of the third one. The soundtrack was good. I saw a few episodes of the new spinoff, Metal Fusion, and thought it was awful (the dub was anyway).

I tried watching Metal Fight beyblade, but the subs for it disappeared around episode 20 or something (The subber was only buying the Blu-rays and ripping from his own copies, so his releases were few and far between

best beyblade song

really liked Zero-G for what little episodes I saw (the whole 11 minute episodes turned me off from following it). I also got to see grown up Madoka...so yeah.

I still haven't gotten a chance for Bakuten shoot beyblade, but it is on my too watch list,

as for the dub

Metal Fight + Zero-G dub is better than the Saban version, only problem is their voice actors as well as being too close to the original script (being with Ushio's "bull bull" lines)

I never watched the show (well, I may have at some point, but I don't remember). But I did have the toys. All I remember is how I could almost never get a good spin on the thing, so mine was always the one that lost.

I used to watch Beyblade. Thought the first series was ridiculous, though with those guys trying to take over everything...with Beyblades. >_>

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 2002 I didn't mind so much, but I never did get to finish it in English or Japanese....but the dub voices kind of annoyed me outside of Max and Kyouju (Manabu) and I really apologize because I cannot remember his name in the dub. Manabu was his real name, Kyouju was his nickname. He was the short kid with the glasses that hung around Takao (Tyson I think his name was).

Dub wise I didn't mind them because they sounded the ages of the characters they were playing, as they were both kids voicing them, and even if they started to sound older, it didn't matter because the characters were aging as well. I felt that Kai, Rei, and Tyson (?) sounded too old to be elementary school kids. I think their ages were changed for the dub. I know for the original, their ages were 10 (original), 11 (2002), 12 (G-Revolution). They never got out of elementary school.

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade G-Revolution I never saw the dub of, but some of the Japanese, but like with 2002, I was never able to finish it and sad that I didn't. I wish I could've finished both of these series.

Never saw any of that newer series as I didn't even know of its existence. lol

You know, I watched the **** out of this, and I even had some of the toys and would beat my friends' asses at school...

But I can't remember a god damn thing that happened in it or where my toys are.

Never watched it. My kid has a few of them because of the other kids in day care, but he's never watched the show either.

I remember that show.
Watched it when I was 5 in 2007, along with Blues Clues.
I had a few, too.
