Metal Fight Beyblade

If you asked me if Beyblade was a "Masterpiece" I would say in my eyes yes.
However, if you asked me exactly WHY I liked Beyblade I wouldn't have an answer.
Beyblade is not that great of an anime from an adult or late teens point of view. But, if you grew up on Beyblade like me then no matter how bad it might actually be you might find yourself loving it.
I thought the characters were wonderful, I liked all of them except Doji. I was really into the story, especially when Ryuga came in.
In my opinion, I think Beyblade is a wonderful series and would ... recommend it to anyone who asked.
However I can understand why people would not like it or give it a low rating.
So if you want to watch it, then it depends really. If you like shows for kids then go for it and if you wanna watch it for enjoyment and stuff go for it!
However if you are very picky about your anime then this might not be for you.

I could write a long-winded review of Beyblade, but frankly, why would I do that? I should be clear: this show isn't bad. Honestly, it's a fair bit better than you'd expect it to be. But this is nothing more than an above-average children's show; if you're like me and grew up with it, I'd say it's 100% worth a nostalgia watch. But if you're an adult with no connection to the show, it absolutely is not worth your time. As for specificities, it's decent animation and story with memorable characters, solid action scenes, and really, REALLY bad dialog. Since there is very little else ... to discuss, I'm just gonna list some things that I found surprisingly strong:

- For 2009, the CG action scenes are genuinely pretty impressive; they feel lively and relatively diverse.

- Ryuuga has an excellent design and the best voice work in the cast (for the dub), resulting in him having a solid stage presence and a genuinely intimidating aura. That's pretty much exactly what you would want from a villain in a show like this.

- Kyouya works very well as a rival archetype.

- Battle Bladers is a strong finale. The stakes are higher, and all introduced characters converge. The battles feel more intense and meaningful, which helps with investment.

Conclusion: It's good for a kid's show. If you're an 8 - 12-year-old boy, you will almost certainly like this. If you grew up with the show, it's probably worth your time to rewatch it for nostalgia. But if you're not, why are you even here?

I remember loving this as a kid, but looking back at it now... it hasn't aged so well at all. Nostalgia can really fool you Beyblade (Metal Fusion) would come on Cartoon Network sometimes, and I liked both a lot but looking back on it those shows were painfully average. Beyblade was pretty cool from the last time I saw it (12 years or so ago) in short, both were extremely average with no real substance to it and Bayblade: Metal Fusion. you'll forget about it the day you watch it. Metal Fusion is like eating a Saltine Cracker, it has barley to no ... flavor at all and it's bland and dull at best.
