Beyblade was on the thin, magical line right between totally radical and absolutely retarded.
I bet that every kid in love with Beyblade would have laughed at the idea of playing with a spinning top before watching the first episode. Even minutes before.
And that the yellow Jews behind it couldn't believe their slit eyes when not only it was successful, but it also allowed them to sell overpriced plastic dreidels with interchangeable parts which didn't do anything because the whole thing was the biggest scam in the history of children's entertainment.

It is a testament to Japanese ingenuity that they can take the most ridiculous premise and make it fucking awesome.
In fact I dare say an animu is better when they go gonzo instead of having a regular, boring-ass fight animu.
Case in point:


This is legit better than any fight you've seen in any shounen animu from the last 20+ years. I wish there was an entire animu about nothing but this game.

It's just that people talk shit about YouGayBro and Poggermanz all the time, but at least those shows were based on a Magic clone and a jrpg with their own sets of rules.
Beyblade is the illusion that there are effort, complexity and strategy behind two spinning tops randomly colliding with each other.
The Beyblade product that exposes this the best is the PS1 game:



Customization doesn't matter.
The Hp bars for the spinning tops don't matter.
The way you launch the Beyblade doesn't matter.
Controlling it doesn't matter.
Because, at the end of the day, the spinning top staying in the plastic basin or not is a completely random event.
It's the entire franchise in a nutshell.

I played with Beyblade for a long time and I can tell you with certainty that you're full of shit. There is a little bit more to it than "They spinnin', nigga, they spinnin'"

I used to feel the same way, but then I got meds that made me feel better about myself.

You just need a firm grasp on practical physics.
And believe in the heart of the dreidel, which I think is YHWH?

I guess they have a similar hair color and style, but she's playing in a whole different league.
