Funny you made this video, my childhood friend recommended I watch this again at the start of the year. I too am a millennial so was about 10 years old when this first aired, and the first thing I realised when I watched this again was how much of a banger the soundtrack is. Like, you can only make so many songs about spinning tops and they absolutely crushed it with each song. I watched the whole of the original season and I loved every episode. So good to see you acknowledge it.

@thedigiknow 4 ай бұрын

The soundtrack is SO good, I wanted to incorporate it into the video but most of the songs are copyright protected which is rare for a kids show from 20 years ago. But you know what? Good for them get that bag

I can still remember the songs Figthing Spirit (OP), which is a banger and Cheer Song (ED) after all these years. In Malaysia, we tend to keep the original Japanese OP and ED in our dub. This anime is one of the best shonen I watched when I was a kid.

@thechosenone93 3 ай бұрын

The music was extremely good. The level of epicness(or energy) in the tournament battles was contagious. The way it appeals to children (buy a spinning top from your nearest Toys R Us on the weekend and come in to school the Monday after and flex your new toy to your classmates) was legendary. The ending arc of the original series was actually well good because it didn’t deal with death like Yugioh did but it did introduce how serious life could get(when Ray was hospitalised). It was also a great introduction to anime in general(for me at least)and inspired many to start drawing which motivates creativity.

this is how i always remember beyblade's seasons after i fully watched it a couple of years ago while feeling nostalgic about it season one was an amazing story with great characters who developped throughout the series season two was visually pleasing to watch with a good story but noting comparable to season 1 and 3 and then season 3 felt like the best of both worlds where it was visually pleasing to watch but it also had a really good plot again there are just some of those beyblade moments that live rent free in my mind

I remember growing up with the OG beyblade series. It got damn popular back in 02-03, in middle school half my class got their own beyblades and we did battles during break. I watch the series back on rare occasions just because of the nostalgia. It was over the top but entertaining. Some of the music was good and memorable. Not everything has aged perfectly but this series is among my most nostalgic childhood memories when it comes to anime/cartoons.
