Great Show, Flawed DVD

"Bobobo has been one of my favorite anime for a while and I'm glad to see that it's finally getting an unedited DVD release. It's not for everyone but if you like extremely weird, wacky, and random humor Bobobo is for you.



Now about the DVD itself. First the good news, it's unedited, has good video quality, and the english dub, while heavily localized in spots, is very good. Unfortunately, the lack of proper subtitles to accompnay the Japanese language track is a huge problem. Instead we just get the closed captioning text for the English version. Plus, they don't even stay on the screen long enough for anyone except a speed reader. These problems, and a few other more minor flaws knocked two stars off my rating.



If you don't mind sticking to the English dub or can speak Japanese the problems won't bother you too much. And, short of imports or illegal downloads this is the only way to get your hands on an excellent show."

THE MARX BROTHERS OF ANIME

"A very funny spoof of all hero stories, the one who controls the fist of the nose hair defends his blonde afro and the hair of others against evil (sometimes wearing a bridal gown)."

Amazingly Funny

"Bobobo is a very quirky and random anime. They are constantly cracking jokes and making parodies of other manga and anime. I really enjoy watching this and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys anime and over the top humor."
