Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

I've only watched the english dub and haven't read the manga, so this review is solely focused on the aspects of the american adaptation of the show and not how it relates to other source material. This show is an abstracted comedy parody of mainly: 1. Other anime series produced anythime up to 3 decades before this show. 2. Dealing with modern everyday for kids and young adults life. 3. Pop culture of the 2000s and prior 2 decades.

Bobobo absolutely never takes its self seriously. It goes for lots of cheap fast jokes, slapstick comedy, a type of schizophrenic "thats so random humor" that after viewing more than 10 episodes, will show some relatively constant theming. The characters inhabit a fantastical adventure world where everything seems possible and sentient being's imaginations can bend reality to their will. Since this fantastical world is established from the start of the show, a large part of the comedy comes from very mundane real world experiences, things and places showing up during fantastical events. How well the writing intertwines the normal, the ridiculous, and references to other media outputs the quality of the humor. If your thinking of giving this show a try I suggest watching up to the 21st episode; if you enjoyed it up to this point you'll like the rest, if you didn't, the flow or the type of episode progression is not going to change much for the next 55 episodes.

In the year 31x5, an evil syndicate called the "Hair Hunt Troops" commence in world domination by shaving everyone's heads bald. But in their way of concurring is a resistance leader named "Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo". A muscular afro man who has the ability to hear the words of any set of hair. He's vow to put a stop to this syndicate's evil plot by defeating all of it's members including the big boss himself, Lord Baldy Bald IV.

This may sound like a simple idea for an anime. But it's unlike anything you'll ever imagine. It's randomly plotted, for instance nothing is serious as it's both a slapstick comedy and a crazy adventure all mixed into one series. The thing that makes this anime stick out more than the others is it's cast of bazaar characters and unpredictable moments that no one would guess would happen.

With only 76 episodes and very little publicity in the U.S.A. Bobobo may seem unpopular, but in my opinion it's something to keep anyone occupied and get a laugh at the same time. Please be advised that this isn't an anime to think too much about or make any sense what so ever. I can't guarantee that it be anyone's instant favorite. Cause it's more suited as a like it or hate it series.

The whole series was originally going to be released by this one company on DVD. But they ended up going bankrupted. And the future of more releases of the series is unknown. I only hope one day the whole series will be release on a couple of box sets. Depending if any anime distributor would pick up the rights of it's English and Japanese version.

In the 31st century,an evil emperor has instituted a Hair Hunt as a display of his ruthless power.The citizens are left in fear of loosing their locks to the vicious Hair Hunters,but one man has decided to make a stand.BoBoBo-BoBo-BoBo (they call him BoBoBo for short)known for his golden afro and Nose Hair karate techniques.With his sidekicks Beauty and Don Patch,he sets off a journey to fight the Hair Hunters and unsure the safety of hair everywhere.Bobobo is a cross dresser who met Beauty first,and then Don Patch.More and more strange characters start appearing on the show and will either be on Bobobo's team,or be a foe against Bobobo.

Do you like anime but your favourite parts are all the filler episodes and the plots that make absolutely no sense? Do I have a show for you. A hard series to find in full, I have fond memories of staying up super late at friends to watch this on Toonami. I didn't understand the show then, and I don't understand the show, but man is it a trip. The closest modern comparison I can think of is Jojo's Bizzare Adventure (tho I have yet to see, is on my list) and honestly I would bet this show is even more bizzare than that. Following the bonafide protector Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo who uses his magic power to control and talk to hair to fight an evil organization of baldies, slowly seeking to turn the world bald one head at a time. Using his nose hairs as weapons, the many people/creatures/gadgets he has hidden in his afro, and joined by his friends Beauty (a young generic pink haired girl following them) and Don Patch (a mean-talking orange round sun thing?), the group sets out to save the world. This show is insane and I love every second of it; I still don't know why it exists, but I'm so glad that it does.

The screwiest screwball comedy I've ever seen. So screwy, in fact that the ball has become a form of a makeshift spherical nut that resonates with a random passerby as a metaphor for the state of the Earth, and dedicates the rest of his life to bettering himself.

Though the wannabe Bobobo often thinks himself the star of the show, the true star would have to be its main character, Don Patch steals the show (well, he would if he wasn't the main character) every line out of him is comedy gold, and the way Bobobo plays off him in not only the wiggin skits, but in general is what some comedic duos really need to take notes from. Not to mention the dub is my favorite vocal performance from Kirk Thornton. Don Patch, and the shows message about hair is cinema.

Funniest show I've ever seen

Bo/10.
