Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

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.

What a strange show this is. To think that Toonami picked it up in the first place is strange. Strange or not this anime is freaking cool.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (or Bo x7) is an anime about the titular character mostly know as just Bobobo and his allies stopping an evil group called the "Hair Hunt Troop" from shaving the world's populous bald. Even some members of the Hair Hunt Troop align themselves with Bobobo after he defeats them.

The catch of this show is the amount of weird and borderline absurdest humor from Bobobo, the majority of his allies and just about everyone else in the show. At one point Bobobo or one of the others are fighting an opponent, out of nowhere somebody (usually Bobobo or Don Patch, a character shaped like the sun with legs) does something completely random to what they were doing, sometimes effecting the outcome of the first thing they were doing.

The show was written with many Japanese jokes, with the English dub came, they re-wrote many of the jokes, making the show even weirder.

This show's hilarious, though the absurdity of the show is too much for some, I recommend you watch it once. Some hate it, some like it, but I'm certain most will be entertained by Bo x7's random humor instead of put off by it.

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

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.
