Bladers Forever

Everyone? All the posts seem to be either last year or the year before and no one has been active yet..i feel so alone

Where is everyone

Ah well the English dub of Beyblade's last season ended 3 or 4 years ago so the fandoms been kinda dying, so hence not too many active members. Luckily for us, there's a fourth season coming out soon ^O^

I have topic notification on so if anyone posts where I've post I get an E-mail. That's the best way to make sure you don't miss replies and just check in every once in a while to find new topics.

I think Blitzer checks in often too~

Ah it's good to hear people come every now and again. It's sad how fads slow down just because seasons end but i'm sure we'd all have a lot to talk about even with or without beyblade being played on air

The fourth season huh? Not heard of that one...i did hear that Cartoon Network banned beyblade though - however that is just a rumour and i haven't been able to find any solid evidence about it...anyone else heard anything?

I thought I heard that they would be replaying it a couple months back.. but they didn't. I never heard that they banned it though, and I don't see any reason why they would.

There is definitely a new 4 season though, like totally creator confirmed and everything. ^o^ yay! I think it's supposed to air this April in Japan, but it might have been bumped back further again o.o I dont' know when it'll get dubbed or subbed though.

^ damn -_- it might be ages until it gets to England >.< i wished i lived in America, they get the english sub before we do

Well i've been watching CN on the net to see the dates and times of their cartoons but Beyblade hasn't been mentioned since last year unless i missed it

How far do you think season 4 has been backtracked?

Well you can always download the eppies (though with dial-up, it takes FOREVER)

last I heard it was to air in April. I haven't checked recently though. I hope someone fansubs it :O

I hope somebody fansubs it too! It is called Metal Fight Beyblade with a totally new cast of characters and the manga artist drawing the manga is Adachi Takafumi. This Beyblade site has a lot of up to date info on the new anime, manga and Beyblades: http://www.cybertigeranime.com/bbspirit/

This new series has no relationship to Bakuten Shoot whatsoever because Takara-Tomy asked Adachi Takafumi to create a new Beyblade manga series completely separate to the previos one. That's why you won't be seeing the other characters we all know and love.

The anime, which will air in Japan on TV Tokyo on 5th April at 8:30 am, looks similar to G-revolution and that's because the character designer for the final season of Bakuten Shoot is designing the characters for Metal Fight. Plus, there is a familiar seiyuu in the cast who voiced Valkov/Boris and is now voicing the new evil guy in Beyblade - Daidouji. A fitting role, don't you think? If that isn't surprising enough, the person who composed the English Beyblade music, Martin Kucaj, wrote the Metal Fight Beyblade opening song! How cool is that? This information is from the website link I posted above.

*glomps miko* yeah MyAnimeList had it listed for April 5th but I wasn't too sure.

Ahhhh I'm going to miss all my favorite little characters like Max and Spencer and Kenny and Bryan and Julia and.... well you get the picture =D
hopefully the new characters will be just as lovable (as if that's possible...)

Lol! *glomps you back* I'll miss the previous characters too like Kai, Ray, Tyson, Max, Mariah, Hilary, Kenny, Daichi and many others. I'm actually glad Metal Fight Beyblade is completely different to Bakuten Shoot - it's a revival in the purest form and means Beyblade has another chance to be even better (in terms of popularity, storyline, characters, dubbing and tournaments) than before! I'm sure it's going to be good.

The first episode was broadcast today - here's the link to the first part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86o0C876Xe8

It's really good and the story is faithful to the manga. The Beyblades are in CGI and look amazing. Note: The girl who appears as Ginga's friend in the next episode, Madoka Amano, does not appear in the manga. She's really pretty and looks like she might be a Beyblader - let's hope so!

It won't play for me, i would try at home but internet is on the masters computer and not mine plus i have a whole dining table full of ironing to finish

Can't wait for it to air in england though, and i can't wait for the DVD's to come out (if there is gonna be some) after all us english always seem to slice episodes in half to hide all the good bits -_-

I can't wait for it to come out in England either! So you're from the UK too, eh? Nice to see a fellow British Beyblade fan on here.

The anime and the Beyblades themselves will be distributed worldwide next year so it won't be long before we get Metal Fight Beyblade here in the West! It's a shame it won't play on your computer...maybe you could try watching it later.

Episode 3 aired today and it's getting interesting! The subbed versions of episodes 1 and 2 will be out on the Internet next weekend and I'll try to get the links posted here when I can. You can find the raw versions of episodes 1, 2 and 3 on Youtube and even a subbed version of episode 1 if you look carefully! The subs are a little hard to see though...

Oooh thankies for being going to post the links!

I hope the dub is good when it comes out

so do you understand Japanese well enough to follow everything miko?

It took me a while to remember that I liked Beyblade.
I started my first year of university and everything distracts me.
Just randomly today I thought of something and then said, "I want to read Aqua's fanfiction again."
Then found my way here.

Is Aqua still alive as well?
