Synopsis

After keeping their BitBeasts out of harm's way, a new world championship tournament is announced, but the defending champions can't all be on the same team. Their friendship will be tested and tried as each Bladebreaker goes on a quest to prove why they are the best Beyblader around. Tyson, Max, Ray, Kai, and newcomer Daichi, must keep up their winning ways...even if they must face each other. But, after the tournament is over, what awaits them is an old foe, Boris, taking over the BBA and transforming it into BEGA, the Beyblade Entertainment Global Association. To save Beybladers of the entire world from BEGA's corruption, the Bladebreakers must reunite once again...

The pinnacle of the first generation of the Beyblade anime.

I started watching Beyblade again solely out of nostalgia. I watched the original season of Beyblade as a kid and thought it would be nice to go back to and I'm glad I did. What started out fine but nothing special with the first season, became kinda bad with the second season, actually ended on a high note with this third outing.

For those who don't know, the "first generation", more commonly known as "gen 1" or "plastic gen", is the collective name given to the original three seasons of the Beyblade anime. Namely, ... Beyblade, Beyblade V-Force and Beyblade G Revolution.

Having now watched all three, I can firmly say that G Revolution is the best of them all and a fitting end to the OG run of the anime.

In G Revolution, the forever main character, Tyson, is excited to enter a new Beyblade tournament with his team of friends, known as the Bladebreakers. However, when it's announced that there are going to be some rule changes in the tournament, his friends decide it would be best to leave the Bladebreakers, and join their old teams for the purpose of battling Tyson themselves and proving how good they really are.

What follows is one large tournament arc and to be perfectly honest, that's what works best for a Beyblade story. When it tries to delve into lore or introduce a big bad villain/end of the world scenario, it's just not very interesting. Thankfully, G Revolution steers clear of that.

While you may think that a show spanning tournament arc would not leave any room for character depth or development, it actually does a pretty good job of conveying those aspects of the story quite well. There is some actual, believable character growth here and it was nice to see. Not just main characters either, some side characters get their fair share too. It was also impressive that these side characters had their own motivations and back story.

An anime such as this, lives or dies on the quality of the battles. I'm pleased to say that G Revolution has by far the best battle in gen 1. They are flashy, well animated and because characters are physically active participants (they control their Beyblades with body movements etc.), there are actual steaks and consequences, beyond simply losing a match.

Don't get me wrong, G Revolution isn't perfect by no means. The overall story is a very simple one and the tried and tested "power of friendship" trope permeates pretty much every aspect of the anime, although, not egregiously so.

All in all, for an early 2000s anime with a young target audience and the purpose of selling spinning tops, it's remarkable that it's this enjoyable and fun. Well worth a watch.

Story 8/10

This season does away with the generic subplot of "badguy tries to steal bitbeasts" that Season 2 and the end of Season 1 was about and instead focuses on what made the Beyblade series as a whole an enjoyable watch: watching very likeable and realistic characters that you feel emotionally invested in participate in a sport that they are passionate about while developing as people. Throughout this season, there aren't really any "bad guys" - just conflicting views and different personalities, which makes the season as a whole very unique in comparison to similar anime.

The first arc takes up two thirds of the season ...

(My first review... let's see how this goes (pls don't bash on it if it's too bad :L))

So after re-watching the original Beyblade series for like the 12th time (lost count, lol), I decided to right a review and stuff.

Story: The story of this show tries it's best to grab your attention and prepare you as much as possible, and it achieves this quite well. Though in my opinion the story could of been better, it still contains many breathtaking moments whilst is goes way more in-depth than it did with the first two seasons. The dialogue has also improved quite a bit in this ...
