Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

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.

The future is now, and now's all about the hair. BoBoBo is a master of the Fist of the Nose Hair, known for his big blonde afro and his wiggin skills. His companions-- Beauty, an aptly named girl, and Don Patch, who seems to be a giant star-candy-- are on a quest to take down the evil empire led by some bald guy... To be honest, I forget what the guy's name is, I'm just here for the wiggin'! Wiggin' is how they describe acting out wacky scenarios. It's like they're playing a child's pretend game. The stories are always changing as BoBoBo and Don Patch parody instantly recognizable clichés of anime. The mood never gets too heavy; it's all about having a good laugh. The writer was even kind enough to toss in a couple of glompable (but undeniably weird) bishies for good measure. This show's got everything you could want, except maybe logic.

This show is complete idiocy. It's madness. It's ridiculously ludicrous. You gotta see it!

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.

If you've seen Excel then you're more then likely ready for this show. This isn't the kind of thing I would recommend to most people. This show mostly subscribes to an insane brand of humor that will have the majority lost, and will probably hate the show. The first episode seems mainstream enough but as things progress, things only get weirder.

The battles are actually very fun to watch, watching some of the most insane attacks ever to be seen on a screen, including one that changes a man into a woman and has him/her marrying one of their henchmen. I am 100% serious. Most of the weirdness will come from Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler. Some characters like Soften(who's head is strawberry ice cream) Gasser( a kid who uses farts in his attacks) and Beauty(the damsel in distress) actually are somewhat serious and will often freak out at some of the absurdities.

The basic plot even becomes lost and there is not even a trace of any actual seriousness. Only for those with the taste for weired humor.

7/10

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.
