Beyblade Burst God

Beyblade Burst God (or evolution) is the sequel to Beyblade Burst.

The story takes place after Valt becomes Japan's champion and joins a team similar to soccer.

Because apparently that is how beyblade works. So he joins the team BC Sol from Spain.

The premise is Valt and his team battling bladers from around the world and rising to the top once again.

I'll be honest, Evolution was a letdown for me. A lot of people liked it but I couldn't get into it.

... A majority of the show takes place inside BC Sol's HQ and there's just too much teenage drama.

I get this is a show aimed at kids but it's just too dramaish. The new characters like Stan aren't likable.

A lot of returning characters from BURST appear and you'll see them in matches again.

There's just something about Evolution compared to Burst I just don't like.

Valt is still a likable character and seeing him on the world stage is cool but it feels too Shonen. It feels too action based and suffers from the problems Metal had.

The episodes are fine but sometimes they're flat out silly like a guy using a bey made of stone.

The animation feels like a downgrade compared to BURST but that could just be me. Sound is fine.

If you want to continue Valt's journey then sure. Go watch Evolution

Personally? I just couldn't get into it.

The problem that existed since the 1st season doesn't seem to be solved at all. Even within world championship, there's never been any competitive female blader spotted around. Each and every female bladers in burst series always play as side role character instead of being equally competitive as male bladers. The non competitive bladers characterized as a bladers that use random bey composition and parts, instead of having its own beyblade that differ from other bladers.

In Bakuten series, we are familiar with Emily with her trygator, queen with her gabriel, and many other competitive female bladers with exclusive beyblade to her own. Even during metal ... fight series, there is a character like Hikaru with her Wind Aquario, Sophie with her Grand Cetus, and many more female bladers still considered as being competitive and able to stand competitively against unknown bladers.

It is sad to see that each and all females bladers in the burst series always include as those unknown bladers in previous era, especially to see the fact that world beyblade series 2018 has female blader as its finalist. It is sad, to see something as such was never existed in its anime version. Therefore, what I see in the current Beyblade series is no more than a lust of selling and promoting its toy and accesories, the scene of battle intensivied to present the perspective while the character, setting and story development greatly cut to serve those purpose.

After considering those factors, 5 is the best score that I can give while the other remaining burst series receive 4 at best. This is the detail of my assessment;

Story 6
Art 5
Sound 5
Character 5
Enjoyment 4

Overall 5

I hope the next Beyblade generation will be way far better than burst generation. Thanks for reading my review. :)
