    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
      @thedigiknow  8 місяців тому +6

    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.

    Glad someone else really liked Max’s voice. Something about it was just really genuine, from what I remember and it always stood out to me as a kid. All four kids had enjoyable voices.

    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

    The 5 main Beyblade monsters: Draciel, Dragoon, Dranzer, Driger, and Strata Dragoon are based on the Four Symbols from Chinese mythology, just like Four Holy Beasts (its really five b/c Huanglongmon) from Digimon

  • @TanaySengupta-p6x

    The greatest part for me when I revisit the OG series of Beyblade is Takao/Tyson. His character was special, I didn't like his character back then, but I realised how special he was when I went to therapy. It always easy to be a cynic like Kai, anyone can pretend to be as friendly as Max, you can read and learn to be like Kenny. Then you could be curious, expansive and open-minded as Ray. Not missing out on Hillary who joined later in V-force and stayed throughout G-Revolution. But Takao/Tyson was special. To be human enough to hold on to your friends, to be human enough to fail despite being world champion, to be able to forgive in the face of bertrayal and to never give up on your dreams. That takes courage, mental strength and emotional resilience. Man, that boy was a wise one who played the fool.

    One thing I really liked that wasn't mentioned was how Tyson beat that first bully by training for a day like the kendo training he hated. Extended his rip cord, got a running start, jumped into it, still had to aim, all to get that 4 times velocity on launch he needed.

    Beyblade has the unique feature of it's english only insert songs actually getting better over time. By the time you hit Season 3, stuff like Rise Above the Storm and Hang On are dangerously close to being actually good.

    I tried to watch some the later seasons of beyblade, they didn’t do anything for me, but there’s something special about the first season or version or whatever with Tyson and Kai.
    Medabots was another show from that era that cooked super hard that no one talks about now.

    This will always be my favorite series of Beyblade. I love the characters, the arcs, and music. English Dub did great. I didn't know about the announcers being Dub thing but that make sense since we never saw them. Can't wait for the next arc video.

    Kids often brought their own and showed off during class intervals when our teacher had to step out for a while. We even hid in one corner after school just to play it.

    While I have no problem with the 1st season dub, as the next seasons started taking themselves more seriously, the censorship becomes more noticeable. Also, when they dubbed the 3rd season, they didn’t bother keeping Dizzi in the show, so she was just gone with no explanation.

    Beyblade is one of those anime that has a phenomenal soundtrack on both Sub and Dub - Dub has Rock 'n Roll, while Sub has entire moving orchestral pieces.

    Fun fact: in the latin spanish dub, Beyblade was dubbed in Venezuela by the same dubbing company that dubbed Sponge Bob. If you close your eyes, you can hear Sponge Bob hosting the tournaments, Mr. Krabs sponsoring the kids to go to tournaments and Squidward telling his Beyblade to use the Tiger Claw, among others

    For me growing up and also now as an adult because i still love watching the old fanatsy animes that I grew up with and showing my kids them. My classics are,
    . Beyblade - S1,
    . Digimon - S1-2 (plus 1 movie)
    . Pokemon - Indigo, Orange Islands and Johto (plus 3 movies)
    . Dragonball Z - All arcs
    . Yu Gi Oh S1-5
    . Card Capters - All arcs and movies

  • @almightyk11
    @almightyk11 8 місяців тому +1

    I think with Dizzi, the other reason to add it in is because of the rules and regulations about showing "game text". That's why YuGiOh cards just show a symbol on their cards btw.
    So by using a PC for exposition, it allows them to give the information that should be in that scene without breaking the pace too much and getting around any potential issues with showing text.
