Product description As a young Beyblader, Tyson has a dream to be the best blader in the world! Tyson decides to challenge Kai, undefeated blader. Unfortunately Tyson is crushed by Kai's blade. Vowing revenge, Tyson begins his quest to rebuild his Beyblade. With help from his best friend Kenny, Tyson searches to find a bit beast strong enough to take-on Kai and his Dranzer. What Tyson doesn't know is, the power is already in the family. .com This game-based kids' series is trying a little too hard and too obviously to be the next Pokémon. Tyson and his friends Kenny the computer nerd and good-natured Max want to become Beyblade champions. They practice, study, and work on strategy, as they're invariably pitted against someone who's never been defeated. Their biggest foe is Kai, the nasty, win-at-any-price leader of the Blade Sharks gang. Although some blades are inhabited by supernatural "Bit Beasts," Beyblade is just a high-tech variation on battling tops. The matches quickly fall into formula and there's no bond between Tyson and his Blade like the one that links Ash and Pikachu. The animation is minimal, with lots of pans over still artwork. The spiky-haired kids all look as if they just came from Goku's barber shop and talk as if they've been studying diction with Kato Kaelin. (Rated TV7: minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Beyblade anime serie
I agree that this serie is an toy selling tool, but at the same time, i can't help but to love the cute characters. They are boys with attitude. Afterall, characters are what you watch for in shows that keeps you coming back for more. This serie is definately targeted at a younger audience than most animes. However, even though it's light and funny toned there are some seriousness to it, like Kai's past and evil scientists themes.As for audience gender, this serie would most likely attract boys for the combat nature and lack of more female characters (ok, there are only 3 worth mentioning, Mariah, Hiliray, and Salima). But girls may be attracted to the (again) cute boy characters.

Take it from me...
I dont know what people find it wrong with this show. But personally... I love it! I love it! I love it! And this is a fair warning, this review kinda covers the whole first season to which this particular DVD is just the first.Sure it maybe about spinning tops. But c'mon, in game gimmick animes, cards and electronic geegaws are so mainstream, they became boring. Atleast for me. Beyblade brings a nice new spin on game anime, pardon the pun.I love the characters! For me, I can see the great divercity in all of the characters, and I have found some characters who show up a little later (not in this DVD, but later in the series, which I have watched in whole) plainly hilarious! Who wouldn't find Max's antics even a little funny?The plot may have it's loop holes, but what anime doesn't? I dont want to go too in depth about the plot in fear of spoiling it for you. But the plot is a bit more than spinning tops and tournaments, and in the the end of the first season it does get a little dark and somewhat disturbing. I dare anyone here to go over a poisonous snake pit on monkey bars. (The end of the season will explain that one)Kids in the family will LOVE this. But it may not be exactly for the very young viewers (no one younger than 9 or 8), as it does get a little dark at times.If you're over 9 and maybe seen the dub, you dont know what you're missing. The dub cut out all the good stuff to be honest. And I'm proud to say that I'm glad my 12 year old cousin got me into this series.It's a well-worth item for pre-teens, and maybe even for family viewing. And I have a feeling girls will love this one just as much as boys. Though maybe for different reasons.

Not high quality
Not a high quality cartoon. The animation is not good and the content is very simplistic and aggressive. Do not recommend.
