In the English manga version there really is no reason told why they throw that party, so I guess the birthday thing was just made up for the anime. *shrugs* I've seen the Finnish dubbed version of the first season, and there they claim it's Tyson's 13th b-day, too.

Maybe I'm just a little crazy, but I could've sworn that Tyson forgot it was his birthday in that episode. Maybe I'll go look it up, because that just keeps on popping into my head each time I try and think about it. We'll see ^^

Takao forgetting his birthday (English version) = surprise at how many people were trying to help his forget his nervousness [even just a bit] (Jap version). At least, as far as I can remember. ^^;

And yeah, he's turning 19 this year, though its in August. August 2, to be precise, according to Aoki-sensei. However, I'm not to sure about this particular source, as it wasn't stated how they got that info from the mangaka himself. Either way, he turns 19 in the latter part of this year.

It would be pretty cool, though, if Kai's birthday was November 9 (as stated on Aqua-san's site) or sometime near that...since my birthday's on November 8. xD there goes the fangirl side of me... heheh...

On a sidenote: remember Kai's weighted armbands? I'm pretty confident I can handle using one of those now; I can carry up to 20 pounds in one hand, and still manage to actually lift my arm. I couldn't handle even 10 before, so this is a pretty big improvement. ^^

One pound is... what? About 454 grams? So 20 of that would make it 9080 grams, which is 9,08 kilograms. So little... o.o Gomen, I've always been kinda strong, plus right now I'm an athlete using the gym quite regularly ^^;;;

But does any one know how much Kai's armbands really weighted? o.O (Or his scarf for that matter? This would belong with G-Rev tho...)

So...Kai's a Scorpio? Sweet!~ I'm compatible with scorpios. Too bad I hate Kai xP

And Takao is a Leo...compatible with him too!!~ w00t~

[color=red]No idea how heavy Kai's armbands are. Same thing goes for how many kilograms equal 20 pounds. Yeah, I'm a weakling compared to you. xD =P

Like you, Hamano-san, I've also been described as being stronger than the average female (dad's description, not my own). In fact, one of my regular chores when I'm back home is changing the 5-gal water tank on our dispenser...and that's usually a two-man (or woman, as it may) job. *shrug* There's a difference between lifting using only one hand as opposed to lifting using two hands and stuff.

Not saying that Kai's a Scorpio; note the use of the word 'if' before that whole "birthday in November" thing. And according to Absolute Anime, Takao was born on November 23 - which the site claims was taken from a quote from Aoki-sensei. Still looking into this, so these two guys' zodiac signs are still pretty much up in the air.

November 23 - man, I'll never forget that day - night, actually. Wait, this is something that belongs in the ghost stories thread.

OH man...this is getting so intense, it's like taking math @_@

Now now Luna, ain't math just easy? ^^ don't you just looove all the difficult equations?

If Kai was born then, he would be a Leo. And that description doesn't suit Kai *shakes head* my little brother's a Leo, and he's NOTHING like him.

Haha, you totally got me there, I just can't get ENOUGH math :roll:

^^

Oi, so this is getting more and more complicated...

a tad late to be commenting, but aw well....the rules didn't say we can't bump topics! Anywho, Yes I agree first season was a tad unattractive *see thread concerning Michael somewhere xD*, even Max wasn't as "cute" lookin as in later seasons. But I do like it XD I like the last season too ^_^ But yeh....first season people not very attractive. Oh well XD

*still on the font color* I like Tala more in Season 1. Tala has his signature baby blues!

Hiwatari_Kei08 · by **Hiwatari_Kei08** on Fri Aug 08, 2008 3:42 pm

I'm going to go against my manga fixation and agree with Blitz here.

In the manga, they're supposed to be purple - as seen on the covers of volume 4 and 6 (the only ones I have with an image of Tala on 'em) - but he looks better with blue!

The first season stayed close to the manga and original game designs, which isn't that attractive, but I must admit that's what first drew me to watch it in the first place. I was getting a tad tired of all the smooth, shoujo-style anime being thrust in my face.

Now, I've got nothing against the G-Rev style; it has a bit of shoujo elements in it, such as the less... 'blocky' hair and smoother overall silhouettes of each character, but it didn't lose that shounen touch - emphasis on muscular physique (for some) without going overboard, and obviously its 'sport anime' style plot and storyline. But sometimes there's nothing like the original, especially if that's what one saw or watched first. Sometimes there's a quality that can't be quite captured in the following series, regardless of similarity in story and characters. The fact that this quality more often than not remains unidentified, undefined, or undescribed - or all three - by the audience makes it all the more appealing, objective or subjective 'beauty' of the art style nonwithstanding.

Okay... I'm going to stop before I sound like a teaching assistant for a class on animation and design or something.... ^^;

...oh, but seeing as I mentioned the original game... does anyone here aside from me know that Beyblade was first a video game - also designed by Aoki-sensei - before he turned it into a manga? Just curious...

MichaelsGirl · by **MichaelsGirl** on Fri Aug 08, 2008 5:55 pm

No didn't knoow XD It was first a game really?? ah I wish they would have made g rev into a game cube game...I loved my v force one, except I only got to battle the Psykicks, Saint Sheilds and blade breakers *oh and DJ xD*=P I would have liked to battle the others ^_^
