Kyou kara Ore wa!!

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! When i was watching KKOW i realised that i've seen this in my childhood but just the first 3 episodes and i just felt happy to see this, because i never knew the name of the anime and all of a sudden i was watching something that i was looking for a long time and i have to write that you should watch this masterpiece too. Story The story is about two boys that decided to be delinquents because they wanted to change from how they were in the past, at first they didn't liked each other but somehow they end up being friends,they always get in trouble being Mitsuhashi the one who attracts all kind of trouble to their lifes, they will fight school gangs, and they will be recognized by everyone to be the toughest delinquents not only of Nanyou High School but of Chiba. Art & Animation Well the animation is from the 90's but that didn't matter for me, i thought that, that was great back then and i think the same now, but sometimes the drawing looks weird. Sound The music was outstanding, the voice acting was great, the background sound and music was really enjoyable and nostalgic, even tho this doesn't have an OP song, it has a damn funny ED song. Character I've got to point out that i liked a lot the characters, from Mitsuhashi to Nakano, every one was likeable in their own way, and i never feel attachment to many support characters, but with this one you want to see everyone appear, even the bad guys, like Nakano or the twins, i wanted to see more of Riko interacting with Mitsuhashi, for some reason i felt that in the beginning he was interested in her but all of a sudden he doesn't care about her but she still has a crush on him, didn't understand that change but the development of all the characters was outstanding. Enjoyment Since the beginning i was hooked to this anime, you will laugh a lot, you definitely will love the fight scenes, you will love the characters and will want more episodes, i wanted to see more because the ending was unsatisfying for me, but that means i loved it, it was outstanding, you should definitely watch KKOW right away.

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! (KKOW) I recently watched this 10 Episode OVA series about a month ago; and really enjoyed it, it was reminiscent of Great Teacher Onizuka, Beelzebub, and many other Delinquent-styled anime. The length of it is a great thing; each episode varies in length therefore on average they are 43 minutes per episode, some are 60 minutes and some are 35 minutes. Story : 9/10 The story is mainly about Mitsuhashi and Itou as they pretend to be delinquents, it can be funny at times, and at other times it has a good plot however the plot is usually episodic (only lasting one episode ata time, however develops the characters). There was atleast one Arc i would say, that was a story where it was more than one episode consisting of the same story (it took more episodes and time to fill it in). Art: 8/10 The art isn't the best, however this is an older series released between 1993-1996, therefore the art is okay for it's days and doesn't deteriorate the quality of the show. Sound: 9/10 I do not speak Japanese; however i feel that the Voice actors potrayed each character very well and it made the experience much more enjoyable, there is subtle background or theme music i remember too that was enjoyable. Character: 10/10 They really do a great job of developing the main characters Mitsuhashi and Itou. It becomes extremely enjoyable every time you here someone scream "Mitsuhashi!". There is also alot of side-characters that were developed well that make this anime alot more enjoyable such as Imai of Beni High. Enjoyment: 9/10 Honestly, this anime OVA series was really good especially since it is easily over 20 years old from now and i just watched it less than a month ago. I still was able to get tons of enjoyment out of it, as i said earlier its similar to other delinquent anime and kind of reminds me of Great Teacher Onizuka. I'm very glad i watched this series and i highly suggest you do too.

"you are my friend but if things get worse, i don't know you" this line that you will hear during the ending theme of each episode, summarize the philosophy of our heroes(or should i say our villains ). i find myself obligated to write a review about this awesome OVA since it passes under the radar of so many people, i discovered this hidden gem lately and i am glad i watched it . this anime isn't about cute girls with magical powers or teenagers piloting giant robots to save the world or some overpowered kids who embark in an epic quest ,no,it is all about bromance,delinquents gangs,bad boys beating the crap out of each other , slapstick comedy and hilarious situations in order to summarize it, do you remember slam dunk? do you remember when sakuragi and his gang were goofing around and going in some crazy adventures ? now imagine a spin-off that focuses on these adventures and the result would be this OVA. the story revolves around mitsuhashi and ito two transfer students who trying to make name for themselves by becoming delinguent in their new school so one of them dyed his hair blonde and the other make his hair like a porcupine spikes,at first they didn't get along due to their opposite personalities then they became friends and form a formidable team that strikes fear in the heart of other delinquents ,the story is episodic and most of these episodes aren't connected but who cares it's still funny as hell ,it will begin with fighting delinquents gang in their high school then fighting the most formidable high school gang in the town and finally they will get involved in a feud with the yakuza, the story doesn't take itself too seriously at all, except for some serious moments that will turn into a big laugh because of mitsuhashi witty tricks or imai stupidity. like any comedy the characters are the most important thing here,they aren't deep or complex ,they don't have epic quest or dark past but they are funny and likable , first you've got mitsuhashi and ito they are complete opposite to each other ito is fair and honorable, he fights like a man and never take opportunities or use dirty tricks,while mitsuhashi (the blonde wolf ) is dishonorable,tricky and opportunistic he will never waste any chance to backstab his opponent or use any available object to defeat his opponents ,he is a coward who prefers easy victory or escape instead of hard victory and has no problem abandoning his friends when the need call for that,he is not a bad person though since he abandoned some of his principales to save his friends on some occasions ,imai is an unlucky idiot with a heart of gold, ,his stupidity and cluelessness along with mitsuhashi antics are the main source of comedy here , all the other characters aren't all that important since they will only appear for one or two episodes. the animation is outdated it isn't all that great by today standard( i don't have any problem with that) ,the character design is like any old school anime , the boys look like boys (actually some of them look like fully grown men in their thirties) the girls look cute and pretty my only complain is the lack of diversity ,many characters look similar ,they even have the same haircut . the voice acting is amazing they managed to make the jokes funnier and added more personality to the characters. the soundtrack is nothing special ,the ending song is funny though. overall this anime among the best i've seen ,it is funny and hilarious,there is no anime that make me laugh so much like that since slam dunk,we need more animes like this. recomended for retro anime fans(especially 90's anime) , slam dunk fans are going to like this so much.

Do you like watching high schoolers beating each other to a pulp while having a laugh at it? Well my friend, I got the perfect gift for you, even if it comes wrapped somewhat messily (cringy analogy). So anyway, let’s get the technical aspects out of the way, shall we? Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is a 90’s action comedy made by Pierrot, which means that the art style is bland and the animation is passable at best. The sound and the voice acting is also nothing to write home about and the absence of an opening is a little disappointing. The best aspect about it isthe well-choreographed fighting scenes (that’s what we are here for anyway), even if some recycled bits are thrown here and there. So visually, there’s really nothing interesting here, but aside from that, is the anime good? I do think so. Like I said, the fighting scenes are genuinely exciting to watch and it doesn’t fail as a comedy either, with several humorous sitcom moments to even things up (without laugh tracks of course). The pacing is also well balanced. The show doesn’t simply jump from one fight to another, but instead leaves room for you to breath offering some relaxing Rumiko Takahashi-esque slice of life scenes where we can observe the character’s interactions and the situations they get themselves involved (yes it has some sort of romance and yes I use parenthesis a lot). That’s a very nice touch considering that each episode ranges from 35 min to 1 hour long but you barely notice its length. Oh… Right, this is also a 90’s show made for young boys, meaning that underage gang members will spread chaos and violence across the city with the police or whoever is responsible for minor thugs doing little to nothing to stop them. The best dojo in the world is also located in this town apparently since all of them seem to know Jackie Chan moves and have the resistance of professional heavy-weight boxers, so you know what to do if your disbelief, right? The characters are likeable, but superficial. Although the main duo dynamic is really entertaining to watch, there’s never a deep feeling of development or inner change, but in my opinion that help keeps the light tone of the show. Because that’s what it is. A good old-fashioned shonen to watch before bed or whenever you want to just chill. So yeah… Ratings. If I had to take a more objective stance I’d probably give it a six, because even if the anime is pretty self-aware of it is, it isn’t terribly memorable and we also have to take into consideration its more mediocre aspects. HOWEVER, I honestly prefer rating based on enjoyment cause I’m always struggling with this numerical system and since nostalgia is poking me consistently in the back as I’m writing this review (the show practically screams River City Ransom and even Yu Yu Hakusho to a certain extent, another show from the same studio but better animated and I swear this is the last parenthesis) I’ll raise it to a seven.
