I've seen BoBo-Bo myself, and it's just full of random humor. well, some people take it waaaay to serious. I like the show myself. Well, I was looking to see if there was any new articles on the home page, and I found this. It really tells the truth and I agree with whoever wrote this article. Well, I'm just sharing it with you. I just thought u ppl might wanna know something new, or review or sumthing if ya already read this. ^^
On October 1st, 2005, the anime Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was released to American audiences. The anime doesn't make sense, and is about as far from serious as you can get. Some people love it. Some it. Here's a common stand on it.
It doesn't make sense. It's not supposed to. The characters are insane. The settings are strange. The fighting styles are just as weird. A lot of people don't like the show for those reasons. Bo-bobo fights with his nose hair. Half of his afro can come off. His name is really long. Yes, all that is true, but is it all really so bad?
Much of the negative feedback I've heard comes from people who didn't watch the show or read the preview in Shonen Jump magazine, but rather watched the commercials. Don't get me wrong, there were people who actually watched the anime and/or read the manga preview and didn't like it. I'm not arguing with those people. You're free to have your opinions. I'm arguing with the people who reviewed it based on the commercials, the ones who didn't give Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo a chance.
Bo-bobo has a fan following. There are a great many people who enjoy its strange, random sense of humor. Some like the fact that Bo-bobo is often disturbing and never makes sense. A lot of people don't like that, but that doesn't give them the right to flame people who do like it. I've been flamed more times than I can count, and it's mostly by people who reviewed the show based on the commercials.
Yes, the plot is weird. It's the year 3001.5, and the world is ruled by the bald empire. The ruler has ordered that all people must be bald to show off his absolute power. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is fighting against the bald empire, using his nose hair as a weapon. Yes, it's strange. It's supposed to be.
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is in a class of its own. It's disturbing, random, and makes absolutely no sense. It makes fun of other anime. There's no vulgar humor at all. It's unique. Please, give it a try. I'm not telling you to like it, just watch it before reviewing it. It's different, but that's nothing to flame about.
