What happened to Beyblade.. :(

[Sean Hollyman]

I used to love this show.


Coolest thing ever next to DBZ. Kai was a badass. I had loads of the toys, they were cool.

Now I see the new ones.. and what. They look crap, like the ones you get out of a cereal box.. ;s

They figured out they could never be as awesome as Pokemon and Medabots, or even Digimon, and decided to just give up. I mean, really, spintops? Really? Against awesome battle creatures and robots?

Damn I miss Medabots...

I gotta agree. Isn't it still running though? Some Beyblade new generation, or somethin'?

I recall seeing one episode and having a good laugh. The only thing it needed was flashing yellow capital letters:

"AWW YEA DERE FUKN SIK!!"
"BUY THEM NOW!!!!"

 

[Cowabungaa]

Fuck Pokemon, Beyblade is where its at dude.

Beyblade is about little spintops. Pokemon is about this:

Goddamn dragons. Fuck yeah.

But both are beaten by awesome battle robots. I want a battle robot. Now.

...I dont remember the kids looking so much like, well, kids when I watched the show back in the day

Woah, you're right, they seem sort of shorter. Weird.

OT: people didn't like them mostly because of the massive disconnect between the show and toys.
Pokemon and Digimon had card and videogames that were pretty much simulations of the things from the show, beyblade was just spinning tops yet the show has like giant monster stuff.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Your move, sucker.

Except that they're holograms or something. On a Charizard I can soar the skies.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Apparently they are, but im sure they have some "hologram-monsters-have-souls-too" message going on in the show. No kids show is complete without that bullshit.

Ah yes. That stuff. Remember kids, we must believe in the heart of the cards!

I'll have to go with you on this one- well, I've not seen Medabots, but I know for a fact that Beyblade's got nuthin' on Pokemon.

To illustrate:
Robots shooting and dicing each other up. Fuck. yes.

The game was cooler than the Pokemon one as well. Yeah, really.

Now I've seen that video, I recognise the programme's characters. I have seen Medabots... I just forgot about it.

By the way, that Yu-Gi-Oh song is ridiculously catchy!

 

[2ndblackjedi]

I found a bunch of songs from the Beyblade soundtrack on youtube and it made me nostalgic, but I can't find my old ones. I started watching Beyblade again on Youtube, and Medabots. So much fun.

 

[hazabaza1]

Just remember to watch some of the show before nostalgia'ing over it guys. I recently saw like, a week's worth of Ultimate Muscle and... wow, it's bad.
But still, we need some more stuff like Beyblade and Yu-gi-oh. Shit was cash, yo.

 

[lRookiel]

My personal favourite of the monster related anime programmes was Digimon, that was truely something to behold.

Pfft not really, Megas XLR was off the awesome scale it was that good!

Anyway, I think it may actually still be going on. I've seen commercials from time to time.

 

[geK0]

The idea of children trapping deities in spinning tops and using them to win spinning top
tournaments was just too ridiculous for me to swallow as a kid. I still watched it though; Beyblade was part of the after-school program on the channel I used to watch, and there really wasn't anything better to watch while it was on.
