Beyblade (anime where they cursed and had blood and partial nudity, mofos!) is back!

I thought the real truth was that since they're now made of metal Beyblades are more dangerous than ever.

I love these random ass threads about stuff I know nothing about.
I always learn about something I definitely would have been super into if I knew about it at the right time.

fyi, it was played by many older teens, and even middle aged people. theres alot more to it than just pulling a cord and building the coolest one. also, look at the link, the blades are mostly metal and more dangerous than ever

Hey, we know our stuff here
www.resetera.com

Is there anything more ridiculous than Beyblade saying Moses used a bey to split the seven seas?

I've seen a lot of silly things in media but this one has got be the most absurd I mean, this entire scene just baffles and leaves me with so many questions. Of all the things to include...why this. The fact that this is taken seriously makes it even more absurd

that gaf thread will always be hilarious. I was too young to be on gaf then, and the reaction would be totally different now since there's members that played with beyblades as kids.

In all honesty the English dub for BeyBlade is lowkey one of the best comedy animes out there. The amount of botched line reads and weird voice acting decisions make it legit hysterical at times.

I knew exactly what you were going to post, so the thread title was wrong.

and I am disappointed, I wanted to learn hidden truths I did not already know :(

I wonder what the pitch for beyblades was like...

So we are trying to sell a toy... A spinning top. Basically the original toy it's been going since the dradle... But these are new customizable so kids have to buy new parts. We need a tv show to show it off...

You want a tv show for spinning tops?

i actually went to those world championships. mad fun. i was on the stage like 3 hours later to claim my prize for spinning a beyblade for a really long time. like 2 minutes. but my record spin time is slightly over 3.5 minutes.

My brother and I jacked up our parents ceramic tub when we were younger after turning it into a makeshift beyblade arena. 😅

In all honesty, though, I've had a lot of kids showing me their Beyblades over the years. The last time my nephew visited, he told me that his was a balanced type because it doesn't fall over very easily.

Looks like in this case it was actually launched with a manga series and the anime (which started a couple years later) was just initially adapting that. I didn't know that before now, huh. So there's the new real truth I've learned...

In any case, it's actually not that weird of a thing for me? These kinds of toys feel like they're entirely designed around being multimedia projects. So I wouldn't expect that it was necessarily "we want to sell a toy, so let's do a comic/show to help sell it" as much as "let's design a toy that can work well for being sold by a comic/show".

I looked up the "blades are mostly metal and more dangerous than ever" and I realized that half of this thread is quoting a neogaf thread from 2008. Now that's a pretty deep cut.

Hey you don't know the legend of Brandonk?

Also, Beyblades have even more metal since those days, which means he succeeded

Given the history of kids toylines and cartoons, seems like a pretty easy sell.

"You want to make a cartoon about bugs made from a easy-bake oven?"
