Spinny Tops

Spinny Tops was a series developed by LA!LA! Arts (then LA!LA Productions). Originally developed as a spoof of Beyblade, the concept was abandoned, instead only being similar. The series aired for 3 seasons between 2011 and 2012.

Production
The series entered production in May 2010, with a pilot written soon after. The pilot was shown to an audience on October 1st of the same year, and was positvely received. In November 2010, LA!LA! picked up the series for ten episodes, but this was later shortened to six episodes. The series premiered in February 2011 and concluded in April. In June, LA!LA! renewed the series for a second season of six episodes, which began airing in November and concluded in January. LA!LA! then renewed the series for a third and final, six episode series. Season three began in March 2012 and concluded in April.

Soon after the finale in season 3, LA!LA! released an anime adaption of the series on Flipnote Hatena, translating the script exactly. The series showed three episodes and was later cancelled due to low viewer rates.
