Beyblade series veteran Katsuhito Akiyama is credited as chief director for the anime, while Sotsu Terada (Beyblade Burst Turbo, Beyblade Burst GT episode director) is directing the anime at OLM.
Takara Tomy describes the project as the “4th generation,” after the original 1999 Beyblade (Bakuten Shoot Beyblade), 2008’s Beyblade: Metal Fusion (Metal Fight Beyblade), and 2015’s Beyblade Burst.
The Beyblade X anime premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo and its affiliates on October 6.
Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland) drafted the original character designs, while Yoshihiro Nagamori (Beyblade: V-Force, Beyblade: Metal Fusion, Beyblade: Shogun Steel) is adapting those character designs for animation.
