from the transitioning of metal to burst, the first season was overall good.
the new cast was unique and didn't stick with how old the cast from metal was which was a good sign.
the synopsis is about the journey of Valt aoi and working his way up from the beginning with the help of his friends like Rantaro or known as Honcho. the character development that they go through is done well.
all of the battles that takes place are really well done especially the later ones that takes place in the final few episodes, you can see the improvements to the choreography with the battles from the beginning.
the soundtrack is astounding and always amazing to come back on occasions, and i like the Valts theme and the way that they play, reminds of how the JoJo themes are used in a dire comeback. and with the stand off instrumental played in a big showdown during battles, its very impactful and adds to the intensity of the moment.
(small spoiler)if there's one problem that i don't like about is the way that they class the most powerful characters together and group them together, like how Pokémon is with their elite four, and with Beyblade the supreme four. its to good have the spotlight on them but further on i felt that they were leaving out the main cast aside from Valt that we get attached and only there as a spectator. but later seasons they use it as more of a status rather than a focus as the first season is just the start, which good.
another thing that i didn't like was that at times the battles itself felt it wasn't long enough and was only a 1 - 3 minutes at most, aside the metal series that took entire episodes for one to finish.
overall i rate as a 8 and liked the direction that they took with the new series of Beyblade, there is still some rough edges but doesn't affect the overall enjoyment of it.
