Beyblade Burst (Seasons 1–6)

Beyblade Burst (ベイブレードバースト, 2016) is a Japanese anime series for kids and families — watch it online on iFILM. The show follows middle-schooler Valt Aoi and his Beyblade, Valkyrie. The sport is straightforward on the surface: two spinning tops launched into a round stadium, last one standing wins. What the show gets right is that winning is actually not simple at all.

Valt starts as a beginner with raw instinct but gaps in technique. Each opponent he faces plays differently — different launch angles, different tops built for different strategies — and losses push him to figure things out rather than just try harder. The voice cast includes Marina Inoue and Junya Enoki, familiar names to anime regulars.

Beyblade Burst relaunched the franchise after a gap and landed well with both fans who grew up with the original series and younger viewers coming in fresh. The tone stays clean — rivalry without cruelty, competition built around improvement and friendship. Stream Beyblade Burst online on iFILM.
