Overall Beyblade is about a group of boys wanting to become world champions in the championships of beyblading. Below are my reviews on each season.

Beyblade season 1
Beyblade 1 was pretty good, with good character design and voices, music and storyline. All the main characters were interesting in their own ways but the characters Ray and Kai made it worth watching. Both characters brought more maturity into the program as well as interesting stories. Tyson and Max brought more humor.
It was also good to see that season 1 was divided into parts, with each part focusing on one of the main characters, showing how all of them were great bladers. This was good since it gave the viewer the chance to enjoy watching a number of episodes on their favorite character being the best.
But unfortuantely as it came to the last part of the season, the idea of making all of the characters important as well as top bladers didn't really continue, which was a great disappointment.

Beyblade season 2
This was disappointing. The big blow was that the character designs changed to make Ray, Kai, tyson and Max look younger which did not fit with their more mature voices and behavior (especially when one gets used to their look and age in season 1). It also made the anime look too kiddy which would especially be disappointing to older viewers.
It was strange to see the characters shrink in size as well making them look too young to be skillful bladers. The only good point was that the character face designs were better in someways then season 1.
Anyway the storyline was not as good as season 1, and battles did not look as great. It focused too much on the character Tyson, making him the only best blader, when his team mates also wanted to be recognized as world champions.
This season didn't give the same importance to the other characters as it did in season 1. Whenever it came to a top enemy blader, Tyson was the only one good enough to fight him, making his fights more interesting to watch. A disappointment to fans of the other characters.

Beyblade season 3
The character design changed again, making the characters look a little older (yeah!!!).
This season is not bad and much better then season 2. The storyline was much more interesting and therefore comes close to being as good as season 1. Also good music and beyblade battles.
The first part of Season 3 shows the bladebreakers breaking up since they want to fight each other in the world championships. It focuses a little bit more on Ray, Kai and Max, showing them to be very powerful bladers. (much better than season 2)
But personally it was disappointing to see another season make out Tyson to be the best blader again. It would have been great to see the other characters have a share in that glory for once, since each one of them were as determined as Tyson and skillful.
The story just ended up being unrealistic since Ray, Kai and Max did intense training to beat Tyson.
But overall it was good to see Ray, Kai and Max's beyblading fights to be a whole lot better. It was also great to see Ray and Kai fight eachother, and see Ray and Kai fight Tyson again.

8/10
