Beyblade English Sub & Dub

About Beyblade

Beyblade (爆転シュート ベイブレード) blends action, adventure and comedy by MADHOUSE and Heewon Entertainment (2001). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Thirteen-year-old Tyson Granger (Takao Kinomiya), along with his fellow teammates, Kai Hiwatari, Max Tate (Max Mizuhura), and Ray Kon (Rei Kon), strive to become the greatest Beybladers in the world. With the technical help of the team's resident genius, Kenny (Kyouju), and with the formidable strength of their BitBeasts, the Bladebreakers armed with their tops (AKA: Blades) attempt to reach their goal.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Rei Kon (Aya Hisakawa) and Kai Hiwatari (Urara Takano) are two of the characters you will meet early.

It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 51 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE and Heewon Entertainment, which means the visual identity of Beyblade follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.6/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Aya Hisakawa as Rei Kon, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2001, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
