Beyblade was an awesome show and the actual beyblades they made as toys were really cool and fun. Where I lived, it was another one of those big fads that was really popular and pretty much everyone had a beyblade and we went head-to-head at school... good times.
The show kind of got a little dumb after a while when it clearly started to run out of ideas. How far can you take spinning tops? But anyways, the first 30 or so episodes of the show were awesome and overall Beyblades is an awesome show/game.
