🅱igger isn't always better. It takes more than a rough outline and some funbags... eh, fun elements, I mean, to make a good show. HITMON has enough good moments to keep a viewer strapped in. It's a rocky road, with lots of potholes and unnecessary mounds to suffer. For every posi➕ive there's 1➖5 negatives, on average. What this adds up to is a failure to make a cohesive product that one can fully enjoy. It's like buying an obstructed view ticket. We can catch glimpses of good things, but sense cannot be made of it. We mostly see performers indiscriminately traipsing around in tight skimpy outfits, ©leavage forward, in a manner that suggests they've jumped the script opting rather for a free-for-all. Honda Masazumi is the only truly likable character. I kept watching to see what would happen with her, but the effort felt more and more useless as time went on. What's more weird is that I either don't hate HITMON as much as I think I should, or perhaps I like it more than I think it deserves. The rating shows that plenty of people like it, but it isn't a show I would ever recommend to anyone without a fetish for bre@sts in the 2-10 gallon sizes.
Is HITMON's setting post apocalyptic or, pre-apocalyptic? Whatever else, this apocalypse makes the Ⓜ🅰Ⓜs grow 3000%. Earth had been abandoned, but people were forced to move back due to war, strife and shifts in power. The current world is made up of an alliance of countries, but the Far East is pushed around by the rest of the alliance, so things are uneasy. We follow high school students who are being trained in elite combat. Though elite, the conversation gets dopey quickly. A 2011 release Rated 7.03 on MAL HITMON is 2 seasons, each consisting of 13 24-minute English dubbed episodes with no cc available.
Every woman Is actually 3 characters. Each one's carrying 2 extra heads under her shirt. At least that's what it looks like. This show has the most overdone 🅱reasts that I've seen so far in an anime, and that is some distinction. It's practically a parody. It's human nature to take things too far. Elton John said in an interview that he went entirely too far with his wardrobe after he first made it big: "I needed an intervention." Wardrobe trends are one example and 🅱ra size is another. The creators of HITMON need to turn the focus on themselves and ask if they've gotten off course. Was their animation the result of a bet? 'How big is too big? What can we get away with?' HITMON is 1 degree from a show where the 🅱reasts are so gargantuan that they take up the entire screen. These women must have to wear helium filled 🅱ras in order to maintain mobility. It's weirder than a weird dream. And the show is titled Horizon, which is a flatline separating world and sky. This show is no flat, even line in its portrayal of the relationship between the sexes: It's the Grand Canyon next to the Rockies. It vacillates between portraying women as objects and women being powerfully intimidating. The only woman portrayed as an equal is almost genderless, as she went through the initial stages of a sex change and then halted the process after her 🅱reasts were removed. (The sex-change was to become a prince in order to inherit the throne and not due to the usual reasons people consider that major life change).
The se×ual innuendo and joking is childish to the point of being uncomfortable. It makes the viewer feel like an adult in a class of 1st-graders. They try to generate humor with Aoi Toori, an immature loafer, but he's repulsive most of the time. It's almost pathetic. He spends most of S2 without clothes. Instead of being funny it's laughable, and a metaphor for the show itself - the-emperor-has-no-clothes type of metaphor. As Bob Ucher said: "Just a little bit wide..." I feel the urge to be embarrassed for them which really irritates me.
There's a couple of interesting characters. Ariadust Horizon, Toori's love interest, had her emotions removed and they were used to make legendary weapons. They've been distributed around the world and the school kids decide they will get them back. Honda Masazumi (the woman who would be prince) is a person who has been wedged like a too large foot into a too small shoe most of her life. She continues on with dignity and honor. Crossunite Tenzou, the guy with his eyes in his baseball cap that makes him look like Donald Duck, is likable in S2. The romance between him and Mary is not bad.
In S1 episodes 4, 5, 8, 10 and 11 are good or better, the rest are bland. S2 consists of no terrible or awful episodes. It is all slightly below to slightly above average, but the plot is bizarre and confusing. The class is in England where they are compelled to repeat history and refight the Spanish Armada battle. In the balance, HITMON is a mess. It's technically awful despite the bright moments. They had the elements for something really good but they traded it in for sloppiness, superficial sleaze, and psychedelic sass. Clearly, the author picked the wrong day to sniff glue.

Age 16+he!!; S2 ep4 was it a sheesh, or a $h!+? Too close to call;
The show is heavily se×ualized 6/10. And it's not very good at it. It's sophomoric: Reference to having sex with someone at least 50 times; Lewd talk and grabbing b👀bies; inane tawdry remarks; A fight between a knight and an "erotica"; Nude b👀bs without nips; In S2 they start showing nippage in the bath scene. For those of you watching on a 60" screen and larger, prepare for 4' of 🅱reast
TV-PG: Parental Guidance Suggested - I strongly disagree with this rating
