Katekyo Hitman REBORN! by Boux
“Katekyo Hitman BORING!”
*warning to those who will want to watch this show, there might be a few spoilers in this review*
At first, i thought the story was quite original, about some middle school guy getting involved in the mafia life as a boss, for no apparent reason whatsoever.
Well here is what happens when you watch this show. You hopes for a good story build-up are smashed by the worst of all happenings in the history of anime. I've only watched 7 episodes and thats way over the limit of how much repetition i can handle. There's a pattern you can see right at the beginning of every episode. A new rediculously retarded character appears and the whole episode is based on stuff happening around that character. Like all anime that respects itself, the character has various "super powers", that's SUPPOSED to add awesomeness to the shows, but in this, the "super powers" cant even be CALLED super powers. Bullets that makes you do something with your dying will, some that makes you jump higher, some that makes you swim like a fish on drugs, garlic breath kempo, 10 years bazooka, explosive shyness??? What the EFF? Also the voice acting (japanese audio, idk in dub.. if there is any dub) is one of the worst, if not the worst of them all. Its just too god damn annoying... I can't stand any more. And WHY is there any babies, the seriousness was completely killed when half the characters are babies. Yeah sure, reborn's personality is awesome. BUT it would have been way more AWESOME if it was some dude in a red suit and blue pants with a yellow tie... and if he could pull machine guns out of his afro. WHY THE BABIES?
This anime defines failure, except for the animation itself, its actually not that bad. The story fails, The characters are epic fail, the story is an utter failure, it's even more absolute than boring can be, AND on top of that, IT's NOT FUNNY, and my idea of this show is that comedy is the main goal of this show. You can't call comedy something that doesn't make you laugh at least ONCE per 10 minutes, I didn't laugh at ALL. NOOO BROCOLI MONSTER RUN!!! How is that supposed to be funny... Here's a story of me watching this show : I got so bored with the story, from episode 1 to 7, I decided to go watch an episode that's far later in the series. So i opened up episode 69 and clicked at the middle of the timeline to get somewhere in the middle of the episode. I couldn't believe my own eyes. It was THE SAME DAMN THING as what happened in early episodes, THE SAME THING. The cow baby was running at the chinese one while yelling OOO BROCOLI MONSTER YAAAAH! Thats when i deleted this in my to-watch list. There shouldn't be anyone who loves this kind of piece of shit. WHAT? 10 stars.. 9 stars???
One last thing, this show is an insult to the real mafia families.. Making retarded things like the bovino family which all members are cowish-like people... And that the top hitman was a freaking baby? NO.
It's good to be original... But the one who came up with this story doesn't have talent for coming up with a good original story, He has talent for coming up with random crap and putting it all together without thinking twice about how it sucks horribly. Maybe it was written my manatees tossing balls into a random script machine...
So i give it a two stars, and I'm really generous right now... This is the only show, out of the 91 series I've watched, that i couldn't completely watch to the end.
It should disappear from the wonderful world of anime, this is the kind of series that makes anime loves, like me, look like complete retards.

#1 - posted by agmanlol on 12.13.08 @ 1:20PMi was just like you i saw no point to this anime one pointless ep after a other but for some reason i keep watching it and by 50 they got in to more and more fight and started doing more and more carzy moves so now i watch it like every week so yes it has one of the worst starts for a anime and if you can get over that then that just you (i do watch a lot of mindless anime but this isnt one them)

#3 - posted by xPhoenix0Returnx on 12.13.08 @ 9:04PMI agree with the statement that this series begins in a really annoying way. I'd just skip to episode 20 or so. That's when the good stuff begins. Then after a couple seasons, it goes into a series of fillers and then the amazing, awesome season it's on now. Episode 69 is a filler, I'm guessing. And, as for Reborn and the other babies, you'll learn their secret. Besides, it's pretty unique idea, huh? xD Well, it is your opinion but I really hope you go back and just watch a non-filler-y episode or something. Honestly, it is extremely crack-ish but once the main character stops relying on those bullets, it gets good. Yes, he does stop using bullets. Well, ish. It's hard to explain. Not to mention I just spoiled you...sorry 'bout that. D: Anyway. What I'm trying to say is that you're entitled to your opinion but maybe you should give it a second chance. Not like this minute but someday when you don't know what to watch or something. You don't even have to listen to me. I just don't want anyone to miss out on the chance to see this kind of anime. The sort of annoying but so obviously amazing that it's not obvious. .__.;;
