    Not for all tastes but good none the less

    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 weirdest show I've ever seen

    I missed the first few episodes of this anime but since there's really no plot to it then I guess it doesn't matter that I did. My 9 year old sister was the one who first told me to watch it, mostly it was out of curiosity, but whatever it was I found myself watching this show for half an hour. By the end I said "wow.....what the hell was that?!"

    As I said previously this anime has little or no plot. It's pure randomness, and if there ever is a plot you usually don't catch it because you're either a) laughing too hard or b) trying to figure out what just happened. Basically it's about this guy called Bobobo (im not even gonna try and spell the whole thing) and his companions Beauty, Don Patch, Gasser, Jelly Jiggler, Softon, and sometimes Dengaku Man. I'm not quite sure what they're all trying to accomplish except fighting these Hair-Hunter people who shave everyone's heads. Bobobo's nose hairs turn into whips when the bad guys come around and he uses "Super Fist of the Nose Hair" to beat 'em up. Sometimes he doesn't use this attack until all the way at the end of the fight because he's too busy cross-dressing, beating up Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler, or having some sort of party with the enemy.

    Overall this is the most effed up anime I've seen yet, but I'm not saying I hated it. A lot of it was so stupid and random that it was actually funny, though the narrator needs to take a hike cuz 1) his jokes suck and 2) narrators are suppose to fill you in on what's going on, which he practically NEVER does. It's an anime that'll make you laugh, say "wtf" every five minutes, and want to plunge off a cliff all at the same time. If it's ever on watch it and see what you think. I give it an 8/10 because it's so randomly funny :)

    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.

    Unlike any anime that's ever been made before.

    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.

    Wiggy Fun for Everyone!

    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!

    • Alternate versions
      Service Man's part is much different in the American version from the Japanese version. In the Japanese, he attacked people by flashing them. In the American version, he sometimes seems to be about to flash somebody, but it's never shown or referred to.
