Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo: The Complete Series, Part 1

I was sooo pumped when I heard that this anime was going to be published on DVD! I've been a fan of the show for years and have all English Manga's collected thus far, so this was a no-brainer for me! If you like the silly, wild, energetic, over-reacting, irrelevant and random type of humor, you'll have a great time watching this anime. +Pro's: ------- -The packaging looks beautifull! The cardboard sleeve is detailed and it is printed with hilarious cover-art. The 2 Disc containing DVD cases themselves also have individual artwork on them wich I really like. Inside the cases are booklets containing a short synopsis of every episode. The artwork on the DVD's themselves is sharp and snappy. -The image quality of the video files is very good. It's not the best out there, but It will ensure you watching the show satisfied. The same can be said for the audio quality. Not the best, but very good for normal standards. -The menu's on the DVD's are OK; not too much stuff to confuse you with and that's good. -100% Uncut baby! +Con's: ------- -There are no English subtitels embedded with the Japanese or English audio, but on the package it states that it does have these included (only for Japanese audio). I knew this when I ordered the package because I prefer the English dub over the Japanse one (so this isn't actually a con but a warning if you haven't read the other reviews already). If you, on the other hand, prefer the Japanese one, this might be a reason to not order it. -No Kanji translation is included in the video files. It's not unwatchalble because of this, but it would be nice to have an option to turn it on or off. -There are stationary images/pictures included between each episode. I do not see the point of this; (maybe to indicate a new episode is starting) I could have easily enjoyed this without these included. It's not that big of a deal though. -The DVD cases feel a little fragile, but this maybe due to the fact that is has much stuff in it (2 DVD's each). -The special feature hyped on the box isn't that special at all. Just '.pdf' files to make up for the lack of english subtitles on the Japanse audio-track. It's still nice they included these though. ---------------- Final Verdict: ---------------- This package is worth your money. The only minor complaints I have are the lack of Kanji translation and subtitles for both audio-tracks. Only the first con might be a dealbreaker for someone. But if you don't care for this, all I have left to say is: Get Up, Stand Up, and order the first part of this awesome anime!

I loved this show when it came on TV years ago, and I've been waiting for a series release ever since. Every few months for years I've checked for Bobobo, and I was excited to finally see it in this collection. For those of you who have never seen the show, it's a comedy as random and chaotic as it could possibly be, and it's hilarious. I tend to watch shows in marathon, 10 or more episodes at once, but with Bobobo I can't, because afterwards my jaw literally hurts from laughing so much. This show is just that funny. Of course, that's only if you like the off-the-wall randomness it uses. Though I was disappointed that the set didn't have Japanese to English subtitles, I was so happy to finally be able to watch beyond the first 10 episodes or so (where the first DVD release ended) it didn't matter to me much. I was impressed with the quality of the set. I don't remember the Botector looking so good when he aired on TV. Needless to say, I definitely plan on getting the second part.

I know a lot of anime fans like to watch the original japenese with english subs but trust me your missing out if you don't watch the english dub. This show is so crazy all the way through and the english voices are another reason why this anime is so great. From the stereotypes to the random phrases that will catch you by suprise and make you laugh more than anything its just makes sense to watch in english. I've been a fan of this show since it's days on Toonami and if you watch in japenese your gonna miss out on in my opinion the greatest english dub of an anime. The voice Actors really take this show up another notch and by the you'll miss out on the Bobobo rap and that is just pure genius. All in all I am just happy I own a high quality audio and video version of one of my favorite animes. Don't get discouraged by the other reviews if your new to the show for the price for 38 episodes you can't go wrong! I payed $25 for this set so that's less than a dollar an episode! Amazon really is cutting you a deal on this show.

An excellent and hilarious parody of the shounen genre, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is an must buy. After being one of the final shows aired in the waning days of Toonami, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo finally gets a DVD release after the ill-fated Illumitoon attempt - this time with 38 episodes on this 4-disc set (10 episode on the first three, and 8 on the fourth). The show itself stars Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo as he wanders the Earth in the year 3001.5, and fights the Chrome Dome empire with his nosehairs. He's joined by Beauty and Don Patch, as they attempt to save all the world's hair. While this set delivers a uncut version of this show (they were kinda minor cuts, but still) than the one that aired on CN, there's also a bit of an issue. If you're fan of your anime subbed, this set features absolutely no English sub, despite early promotional materials and the very box art saying otherwise - which is strange for an anime release. It does feature a pdf version of the original scripts in the fourth disc, for whatever that's worth - and you can listen to it in Japanese. That's a pretty bad look for S'More's first attempt at anime publishing, as despite the sets strength in the awesome dub, and excellent audio/visual quality, lack of sub will have a negative effect on sales. That said, if you can push past the subtitles issue it really is a great buy, for a hilarious series.

自分はテレビで見た時はこのアニメは面白いと思いました。ボーボボらしいギャグもなかなかいいです。

This is the weirdest, most random thing I've ever watched, but it is so funny! All of us (boys and girls, men and women) were in stitches and have now become Bo-bobo fans.
