Story 8/10 Extremely nonsensical, but still manages to be very funny. Likes to parody other shonen manga. Art 3/10 Art overall is not good. Shading is clearly done in a way to imitate early parts of Jojo or Fist of the North Star. Unfortunately, the hatching often makes no sense when you consider the lighting of the environment. Character designs are unique and memorable. How can you forget a man with a poop shaped head, a walking jelly blob, and a 'sexy' bipedal torpedo? I rest my case. Character 10/10 There's a clear cut line between the sane and insane characters, and that's what makes this manga funny.Enjoyment 10/10 This is the type of manga that is hilarious when you are in primary school. Then you grow out of it during your teenage years. Now you're in your late twenties, and to your delight, you find Bobobo hilarious again. Overall 8/10
In the year 300X, Earth is terrorized by the evil Maruhage Empire, which will stop at nothing to rid the entire population of their hair. But now, one afro-wearing man stands his way. He has the ability to communicate with other people's hair and use his own nasal hair to defeat the Maruhage Empire's bald henchmen. His name: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was one of my favorite anime, and still is. The non-sensical Hajike that the trio of Bobobo, Don Patch, and Tennosuke, alongside Heppokomaru and Beauty's tsukommi is something that's probably never going to be replicated again. A lot of the manga is quite cluttered, with honestly, yes, rough drawing that isn't exactly pretty to look at. However, it maintains the craziness that it needs to, and despite the cluttered backgrounds and panels, they're full of action and excitement. There's so much going on that it's actually hard to keep track of what's going on. So many parodies, references, and jokes flew over my headbecause there was just too much of them. The slapstick, nonsensical nature of the gag humor in the show never quite gets stale. It's true that the very last arc of the manga was a bit disappointing compared to the other arcs, and the comedy certainly dropped to a certain degree, but even so, a pleasant experience. There's an immense cast of characters, some of them, you'd think be annoying or over the top. I actually don't think so. Every character has a purpose, and they all play different roles in the ever-changing comedy and scenarios that the team is in. I do think that for the slapstick nature of the show, Bobobo basically is never at the butt end of the joke, which does hurt a bit in terms of character dynamics. Don Patch is a lot better, but Tennosuke is essentually a punching bag. There's flaws, but a lot of good things also.
