In my opinion
Digimon anime is better than Pokemon anime
But the Pokemon game was better than the digimon games

Why is this number 2? It was a poorly animated rip off of Pokemon.

13 Beyblade Beyblade is a 2001 Japanese anime television series based on Takao Aoki's manga series of the same name, which itself is based on the Beyblade spinning tops.

I didn't have the childhood of normal beyblade, but since 2017 I've been a HUGE FAN of beyblade burst. I love it so much, and I seriously recommend this anime even to people who just know that it's about battling tops. The character designs are awesome, and the plot is amazing. to be honest, I'm kind of-very-obbsessed with this show. Thank you for your time and patience :3

Metal Saga was really good. The original saga and Burst Evolution are meh. The first burst season was good.

I loved the toys... But the Anime is really Dumb in my opinion

Not really for kids...when you see danzo exploding and obito's massacre, it's a bit violent...

That's definitely kid friendly!
