I liked Beyblade, but not as much as I do now(probably because I was too young to fully appreciate it), so I didn't beg my mom to buy the anime. Although I definetely wasn't a Kai fangirl at that time, Kai was already one of my favourite characters. However, I didn't ask my mom to specially get Dranzer for me(something I would totally regret 2 years later-when Beyblade was aired again and I got addicted to it, and when the Beyblade toys weren't being sold anymore).

 

As I said, two or  three years later, in November 2004, Beyblade was aired again, and this time I became a full-fledged Beyblade(and Kai) fanatic. Ironically, it was at that time when shops stopped selling the anime and the Beyblades, so I sadly concluded that all I had to remember Beyblade by was memories.

 

...Or so I thought. At a booksale, I was idly strolling when suddenly, I nearly fainted of shock, amazement and glee-before me were stacks and stacks of the Beyblade vcds, all going for $2. I eagerly snapped them up(there were 18/25 there) and by some extreme stroke of luck, managed to get all but one of the others...all at clearance sales, all at $2 or less. Dranzer, however, is a completely different story. All I have is a weird and tattered combo of Dranzer S and Dranzer V2. I'm not complaining though...I'm so happy I even managed to find the anime in the first place.

 

That was all on the first series. V-force and G-revolution is a different story though. I watched a few V-Force eps, and didn't watch any more. G-revolution is currently airing, but I have after school activities and such, so I've missed about a quarter of the series. Although the battles in G-revolution are much more intense and exciting, I feel that both it and V-Force will never measure up to the first series, although I really have no idea why.
