Opinion needed...

[Myst Taylor]

I need your opinion here!!

Do you think that Beyblade is an actual Anime or not!

I think it is but I never seem to find a thread on it.

[Opinionated]

Yes, Beyblade is an anime.

[Lilium Filix]

Yes, Beyblade is an anime.

[*Sakura]

yup, beyblade is an anime.
believe it!!

[Viola]

It is an anime. But then, so is Metabots and I don't see a thread for it...they must not be very popular.

[Myst Taylor]

Okay then, new question is needed.

Do you think Beyblade is a popular anime?

Oh yeah, what about Yu Yu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh? I think they're more popular but yeah...

[Bluefox-chan]

unforutately Beblade is an anime...i watched it once didnt like it and if u dont see a thread on it start one....

[Darth Tyranus]

Does this thread have a point, like at all? The fact you can't find anything on it should really give you the idea that it isn't popular.

[Qeeun]

ya, its a anime o_0,
why wouldnt it be?

[Ichiro Matsuchani]

Beyblade is an anime, but i don't like it very much

[Strutz]

BeyBlade is an anime but is a very borring one so i dont' considerit anymore an anime:)

[3BladeDemoness]

Beyblade isn't that great.. well its better then B-Damon that show is a rip off, of Beyblade. As for Yu-Yu and Yugio, they are both animes and Yu-gi-o is populare with mostly guys and all that. I don't particularly like it! But then again I'm a girl ^.^

[Saphire]

yea it is

[Takao Kinomiya]

What gives you the idea that Beyblade is not an anime?

I don't think it's right to say without any proof that beyblade is not popular. It was quite popular back in it's day. You're posts just show me how ignorant most of you members here are. Yu-Gi-Oh probably has a bigger fan base now, since the show is still on-going in Japan and the TCG is still flavored.

I never caught on to Yu-Gi-Oh. I thought the anime was way too predictable and the fact that Yugi didn't lose much annoying.

It's a shame that Nelvana did such a bad dubbing job on the beyblade series. I believe it turned off many anime fans.

[Opinionated]

I liked Yu-Gi-Oh long ago, then I stopped watching it and became a fan of MTG. MTG pwns Yu-Gay-Oh.

[Myst Taylor]

This might sound random but what's MTG? Sorry, I've never watched it so I'm not very sure.

The point of this thread is to see what you guys opinions are of animes that we don't really see much. Of course, it may be because of being unpopular but I still want to know your opinions.

The dubbing of Beyblade was awful but I got the chance to see some Japanese Episodes and that really done the trick. Of course, I don't like it as an anime as such but I thought the characters were very well planned.

Yu Yu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh were both quite popular at one time. I know Yu Yu Hakusho is still quite popular and so is Yu-Gi-Oh in their own rights. I still love both of them as much as I did 7 years ago.

MTG is the popular card game Magic: The Gathering

[Angel~Eyes]

Well, from the people who have already posted, it would seem BeyBlade is an actual anime, but what I am wondering is it an official Japanese anime, or was it created in America, then passed off as an official anime? If someone could please let me know that would be great...although I suppose I could simply do a search...huh!

Luv Angel Eyes

[nega_knives]

Yea I Guess It Kinda Is But Not A Anime Like Most Are
Ex: Like Inuyasha Or Cowboy Bebop.

[Myst Taylor]

MTG is the popular card game Magic: The GatheringI'm pathetic. I never knew that >_<U

[Myst Taylor]

Luv Angel EyesWell, the original mangaka was Japanese so I'm kinda guessing it's authentically Japanese but then again, the mangaka could have lived in America. But the characters in the third season are officially proper manga styled drawings to I'm kinda guessing it's an authentic Japanese anime. (Plus, the CGI couldn't have been created anywhere else for G-Rev

[Myst Taylor]

Yea I Guess It Kinda Is But Not A Anime Like Most Are
Ex: Like Inuyasha Or Cowboy Bebop.Each to their own. Whatever floats your boat.

[spireroth_1]

None The Least Why Would They Make A Show Like That That Is The Stupides Idiotic Show Ever Beliving That Love And Teamwork Will Actually Save You All The Time.

[Takao Kinomiya]

Man... Try putting in some lower cases dude.

Beyblade is an anime that was created in Japan. The author of the manga is Takao Aoki. Check d-rights' offical beyblade website if you're not completely satisfied.

[Myst Taylor]

Woah! It's in Japanese!

[Viola]

I'm a girl and I like Yugioh.... Actually alot of girls like Yugioh...for one reason...the guys... Seto fans, Yami fans....Yaoi Fans...you see...yugioh is a perfect anime to write yaoi fan fictions :P

[lorie]

yeh course beyblade is an anime since well it had a japanese version in the beginning
isnt that wat every anime is known for??

[ShadowtheWarWolf]

Yeah, of course its an anime. It's just not that popular so they don't have threads for it.

[lorie]

woah rely?? its not popular??!!! oh i always thought it was
basically once upon a time it was when it just came out cus eveyone used to buy beyblades

[Myst Taylor]

Funny you should mention that, lorie, I thought it was popular at one point too. Everyone seemed to have a Beyblade with them to challenge other people...

[lorie]

init:D
i wish it still was though
everyone calls it a kids show and that really pisses me off
then they start treating me as if i was a kid

[Keyasaffection]

ya sadly it is....

[lorie]

tch ok man it is but i still like it-even though i dont ever get a chance to watch it
since beyblade has mostly boys in it its more prone to have yaoi fanfictions

[Myst Taylor]

Really? I right CharacterOC fanfics (especially KaiOC fanfics).

I just thought because FF.Net has like got over 14000 Beyblade fanfics whilst Naruto has 36000 or so and others just under around the same figure as Beyblade (with the exception of InuYasha, although that's been declining recently). Naruto has gone up sharply. Must be because of America.

Anyway, I don't think Beyblade's childish. I still think Kai's buff and it's not on show anymore >.<

[lex__luthor]

yah it is like yu-gi-oh

[Ami~chan]

I'm very sad to say that Beyblade is in fact an anime; albeit, it's geared towards little children who think tops are cool. Put it on the same shelf as Yu-Gi-Oh and PokeMon; it's a silly and immature piece of animation with limited character depth and growth.

[Beautiful_Disaster]

Yes,it is but i don't even know if there is a manga version of it

[Keyasaffection]

yes not a good one but an anime.....

[Zoekin]

Yes it is an anime. Only it seems to be one of those animes that are more concerned with selling the toys than going anywere with the storyline. I've seen it but I didn't like the story much.

[Myst Taylor]

That's not true. G-Rev was totally about the storyline.
I've seen the manga! I own one of the volumes!
The graphics was better though.
I must be immature then because I still like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon and Beyblade.

[Kittyninjamewmew]

yeah, it's an anime and i like a lot of animes

[Myst Taylor]

yeah, it's an anime and i like a lot of animesUhm... Okay... So was that a 'i like beyblade' sort of comment or not?

[Tetsanosuke]

Well I think they re-drew it for America.I have compared the eyes of the japanese Tyson, with the english Tyson and the japanese eyes looked smaller... Maybe I'm seeing things?

[Myst Taylor]

I don't know. Maybe. Will have a look! Thanks for that actually!

[Remie-chan]

Well I think they re-drew it for America.I have compared the eyes of the japanese Tyson, with the english Tyson and the japanese eyes looked smaller... Maybe I'm seeing things?Which season? That series has 3 different seasons, so...Also, I don't think they re-drew. It seems that the 2 sequels for the 1st season have the characters when they were younger(or not).

But, anywho, yes, Beyblade's an anime. I used to, sorta, watch it...But you know. ^ ^;;

[chuunin7]

As long as I know, Beyblade is an anime. Why you ask that?

[-Neji_Hayabusa-]

Yes, Beyblade is an anime.

Yup, Beyblade is and anime.

[Myst Taylor]

Okay, we've got that one cleared up.

[NarutoxHinata]

Yes it is an anime and for me a very good one well at least the first and third seansons are my favorites i didn't like the second one...

[Takao Kinomiya]

Yeah, of course its an anime. It's just not that popular so they don't have threads for it.Beyblade is not a popular anime? Of course it is, that's why it's mainstream.

Here are some interesting facts...
- Broadcasted in more than 80 countries. (as of July, 2005)
- No.1 rating on ABC Family (USA), YTV (Canada), Cartoon Network (UK)
- More than 1,000 Merchandising Licensed Products win 400 Licensees worldwide.
- #1 selling Toy in Japan, Canada, UK, Australia and many other countries. More than 250 million units sold worldwide (as of November, 2004)
- PS 1 and Game cube video game ranked at #1 in UK, France, Germany, Italy and Belgium in November, 2003.
- Promotion with top tier partners. (Toyota, National, Burger King, Kelloggs, Frito Lay etc.)

Beyblade is past its prime. Now there are new shows and toys to replace it. Even the most of popular shows end up dying. Expect shows like Naruto to do the same.

[INUANI]

wow thats impressive!

[kawaii_develish_twins]

i just dont like the series cause i watched an episode for the heck of it and its all like "dont give up! if we have the power of frindship and our beyblades then we can win!" uh yeah thats just a little reaaaarted..........i mean come on they're tops for gods sake!

[Takao Kinomiya]

[Myst Taylor]

Well if you were watching the dub... then yeah, expect to hear some pretty dumb things. :pLol, the dubs are awful, if that's what you're implying.:D But it's true so don't sue. (That rhymned lol.)

[None of the above]

Lol, the dubs are awful, if that's what you're implying.:D But it's true so don't sue. (That rhymned lol.)
I think that Beyblade isn't a real ANIME. It's awfull.

[Takao Kinomiya]

I think that Beyblade isn't a real ANIME. It's awfull.You're awful.

[Infinita]

In my opinion, Beyblade seems like an anime to me but if u ask a friend, they say its just a cartoon or its just really stupid.

[TheOathkeeper25]

yea it is

[Chaux]

yup, of course its an anime! ^^

[miki vox]

iv always liked beyblade and yu-gi-oh i think the thing with them is there manafactured so they dont seem the same as anime or manga that a lot of heart and soul has gone into they are very populer like pokemon i think there star has waned a bit but i still watch them
