20 Years of Beyblade Anime

So, let's take a look back at the success of this fantastic work created by Takao Aoki. In fact, it was created to promote sales of toys of the same name, which we all know was a real success, as I know each of you had one when you were a child.

Furthermore, the story has a very simple plot, yet at the same time quite exciting and entertaining.

Thus, its first season was produced by the powerful MadHouse, while the following two by Nihon Animedia. Furthermore, TV Tokyo broadcast the anime from January 2001 to December 2003. In other words, this year, 2021, is the 20th anniversary of the series' official airing on the Japanese broadcaster.

Finally, it's worth mentioning the major motion picture Beyblade Fierce Battle, released in 2002, which precedes the story of the second season and also serves as the starting point for the final season. It's also worth remembering that the anime aired here in Brazil on TV Globo.
