Review of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Weird how out of all the anime that could've been my first, that this niche, insane show was the one that introduced me to the concept of anime. You would've been able to see it late at night, 11-12 pm. Back when i was a child, i fell in love with the show, my dad even burned all of the episodes onto DVD. The show was a lasting memory on me, as i had never seen anything like it beforehand. Even now, a decade later, i still watch it every now and then, and love it. While the story is simple and takes a backseat tothe comedy, it still does its job well in being a canvas for all of the other elements to be splattered on. The characters help in supplying all of the visual comedy, and each do fantastic jobs in their roles. The music, however, is undeniably an underrated highlight. The show can cover a whole host of moods, from humorous, to dramatic, to surprisingly serious.
One part of the show that hasn't aged that well, however, is the animation. The animation, although good in terms to visual comedy, can oftentimes look awkward, especially with the character designs, which can at their worst, look blocky and crude.
Overall, it was no mistake that child me gravitated to this show, because it really is quality.
