This holy bible- I mean anime is something everyone should watch at least once in their life. Every second (and I MEAN EVERY SECOND) something absolutely insane happens. You might start losing your sanity, but that’s completely normal. Also, Bobobo is ridiculously overpowered and is probably the strongest anime character. He can get away with any attack just by goofing off, like a Looney Tunes character who gets blown up one moment and walks it off the next scene like nothing happened.
Anyway, on a serious note: I first watched the sub years ago and later tried the dub. And let me tell you: the dub is even funnier than the sub! (That’s not to say I don’t like the sub.) Hear me out: they constantly break the fourth wall, talking about being actors, pointing out when somethings wrong in a s…

Really I think I'd list Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo as maybe a 7, but it's a show I watched growing up and maybe one of my first anime somehow. I give it an extra two points for nostalgia alone, not to mention Wild Challenger is a fantastic opening. On this rewatch I was kind of struggling the first handful of episodes to stick it out, but I found the more time I gave it the more I enjoyed giving it another go. If you can enjoy absurdist style comedy (and one generally aimed at a younger audience I feel), this might be a show you should give a watch to. If nothing else, it's perfect for sitting on the background.

Bobobobobo is a personal favorite purely due to how utterly insane it is.
Bobobobo is a parody of FOTNS but can stand on it's own. It's humor is top notch
The anime censored and changed many things from the manga to make it more child friendly but that isn't a bad thing. It's still hilarious.
Bobobo's humor relies on heavy Japanese troupes and slapstick comedy.
Some examples are Bobobo "training" at a supermarket with "master tuna" to earn a new $10 jacket. Or aliens obsessed with making people drink green tea. Yes, its very nonsensical.
The plot revolves around a man named Bobobo, a master of the Secret Fist Of The Nose Hair trying to stop the hair hunter empire from making everybody bald. He might also be completely insane.
He is joined by Beauty, a pink haired girl, Don Patc…

I could watch this foolishness over and over all day. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo has infinite “crackhead energy.” This is a show that is equally as fun in both the dub and sub. The first season actually has a semblance of a plot and multiple callbacks to random flashbacks. Nothing here makes sense, and that is its true beauty.
I like light-hearted, quirky characters, so watching this show has always been a blast for me. If you don't like slapstick and zany characters, your enjoyment will probably skew much lower than mine.
Bo-bo-bo turns common anime tropes on its head while cracking an egg and frying two strips of bacon on it as well. I have re-watched this anime 5 times just for the ridiculous antics and lovable characters.

This has got to be hands down, one of the craziest yet best anime's ever made. Its just pure chaos and amazing unexpected crazy japanese humor. All the characters are so strange but so good. Bobobo with his amazing nose hairs and opening afro makes me laugh every single time as no matter what its always just amazing.
Not to mention that this anime is a huge part of my childhood as i used to watch it when it was on cartoon network along with Samurai Jack and other amazing creations. Not enough love for this show and there never can be as it is too godly

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was one of the first shows I've ever watched as a kid. And as a grown ass man looking in retrospect: Damn, it's good.
I've rewatched the show 7 times, and it gets better each time I do it. I personally dislike rewatching shows, so being able to rewatch it this many times just shows how much I cherish it.
The comedy is nonsensical and hilarious, the characters are unique, and gags are being thrown left and right. It's a breath of fresh air, whether you're reading it or watching it. Crazy plot, action, and comedy. it all comes together to form something special.
Of course, I'll always watch it in dubbed, for nolstagia's sake, which I think is the only way to watch the show.

You know, when you watch this anime enough time, your thought patterns begin to change. You still get the humor, but your perception has changed. You stop laughing because of how ridiculous it is--you don't even see it as nonsensical anymore.
Your brow furrows, you stop smiling, your eyes stop tearing up with laughter and stare at the screen like the secret of life is going to appear any moment.
That is the moment you stop being a regular viewer.
That is the moment you start to think like a wiggin' specialist.
What goes into the brain is what comes out. If you do nothing but watch bobobo for a year, you will become like bobobo.

Featuring the antics of a very hairy man and his equally silly sidekicks in their stand against an evil balding empire, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is as zany and over-the-top as it gets. There isn't really a story so much as an engine to kick the comedy into overdrive, a ridiculous shonen premise with absolutely no breaks between the gag-filled battles ... most of the time. Bobobo and his gang take on the various factions of the evil Chrome Dome Empire, going from base to base to take on the endless hordes of bad guys along with various allies that come and go to suit the show's needs. There are no cute or beautiful girls here, contrary to what the heroine's name would have you believe, but there is plenty of testosterone and animate food like pop rocks and jelly men among other things.

Ok look, I just found this site and I've only completed a few anime's, but a lot of them aren't too funny to the average American, I am not gonna lie. This show COMPLETELY defies that, but it's also such a weird show that some people can't watch it no matter how badly they wanna laugh. I am excited to say that I was an exception.
This was the first anime that I watched ALL the way through thanks to older Toonami. I mean I couldn't follow the story at all which is why I gave Story an eight, but for a show about the most random, unpredictable, moronically awesome events ever they pulled it off all too well. The art style was solid! I can't say there weren't a few instances of lazy animating (as if other animes dont do that), but if you look at the actual drawings themselves the linework an…

Well ill start off with the fact that this is the anime that got me into watching anime in the first place.
Ive always loved the pure randomness and slapstick style comedy. This show nails it on the head, the story didn't really click or really follow a path. But It was the most entertaining and hilarious show I believe I ever watched. It instantly can be put you in a good mood. To warn you it is sheer randomness, it would impossible to predicate anything, and thats best part. If you are dedicated to other story driven animes and hardcore character delvope. You might just actually hate this show. But if you want comedy and just one of the most obscure view experiences ever, I highly recommend it then!!

There are four words to describe BObobo-bo Bo-bobo:
BATSHIT INSANITY OVER 9000
This anime is wild, random, irrevocably insane, and frenzied. The characters are literally lampooning everything and anything they can get their hands, jellies, hair, feet, pancakes, fishcakes, bags, fingers, dreams, blabbing, ducks, and even narration on. Nothing is safe, and everything is allowed, in this anime - and that is what makes it awesome.
Even the ending, was awesome. All in all, a must watch for those who truly want something hilarious, ridiculously slapstick, and just plain awesome to cheer one up. It never ceases to disappoint.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is about accepting yourself as you are. The Hair Hunters represent the pressure of the societal norms and other people's expectations of you. By giving in, you become a sad bald man; Bo-bobo is a shining example of being true to yourself.
Nose hair stands for everything that is deemed disgusting by society, but is still an important part of ourselves. By using his nose hair as a fighting tool against the Hair Hunters, Bo-bobo demonstrates acknowledging your faults and turning them into advantages. Great anime, great message, 10/10.

This anime is crazy!!!
If you are looking for a crazy sensless gag, then watch Bobobo.
It is basicly a like a gag on exploitation films and shonen jump, it has crude jokes , a badly drawn talking sun dude dressed like a girl, talking Jellow, and a guy that looks like poop.
It hooked me as soon as they started fighting with nose hair, gas and afro squirls.
It is hard to explain this show, but it is plain crazy, Bobobo, Don Pach and Jelly do fusion like in dragon ball, and ether turn into a copy of Gogita, or a copy of Black Magician.
If you want to see some thing funny, watch Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo!!!
They are Baka survivors.

I love this anime! It's like you can't get enough of it! If you're someone who likes random humor and don't care if it doesn't make any sense at all what so ever, than this is the anime for you! The stories is about a blonde afro guy who has the to grow long nosehair out of his nose and he must use his power to stop an evil army whose trying to make everyone in the world bald. He is join by many unusual characters as well. Such as Don Patch, a orange spike ball thing who thinks he's the main character of the show. Jelly Jiggler, a man made of Jello who always has bad luck. And Torpido girl, A woman who is... a torpido. These characters do things that are consider redicuos and have no reason to be there in the first place. Genius! I should just hug the guy who made this anime right now!

PROS:
Unique art style
Memorable characters
Great soundtrack
Tons of unforgeable moments
CONS:
Won't appeal to a wide audience
Ends on cliffhanger STORY:
The story is simple and fun. I thought it moved at a good pace. It's the kind of show you can put on hold for a while without worrying abut forgetting what happened. I like how every episode was different from the next.
ART:
The art is excellent, the cartoony character designs suited the show very well. I never come across an anime that looked quite like it.The exaggerated facial features are the funnest I've seen.
SOUND:
The voice acting is top notch, Richard Epcar,Kirk Thornton, Jamison Price, there are a ton of talented actors contributing to the English dub and their effort paid of big time. The dialog can be lame at times but the…

Here is what bobobo is.
a strange show following a gang of fighters rebeling against an tyranical army attempting to rid the world of hair. The characters are armed with the powers of nose hair, jelly, gas and lots of other things. there is very little sense to be had. Almost every main character acts in strange ways with even stranger powers.
If that sounds good to you then give it a watch. Its a hilarious and imaginative show.
If not then don't watch it. It will give you headaches trying to stick with it.
nothing too revolutionary in terms of art and sound but nothing that will push anyone away.
the story is fun but lacks any real strong moments. most of it is just them going from bad guy to bad guy after every arc with no real goal. It is very fun watching it all if you don't mind…

Now I just had to write this because reading all the other reviews seems to give the complete wrong idea on this anime. Now, I've only seen a handful of episodes of it when it was airing on Adult Swim, and I've gotta say, it was hilarious. It's just so random to the point where you completely forget about the "storyline." Yes, it's hella stupid. No, it doesn't make sense. But THAT ISN'T THE POINT. I found myself dying of laughter everytime something came out of his hair, or he used his "fist of the nose hair."
Like I said, it isn't supposed to make sense. If you're someone who cares only about "details" and "development" and have no sense of humor, then this isn't for you. But if you want a good laugh, and can have an open mind, I recommend watching this series. Sure it's long, and I have…

This anime is crazy. But thats why you have to love it. It is pretty much a gag on all other anime out there. Pulling jokes on everything
Most of the time this anime doesnt make sense. And the ultimate story is pretty stupid. but like I said it suppose to be. Its like Scrubs to ER...or better example Reno 911 to COPS.
Its inane, everything in it is for pure humor. Its not suppose to make sense. So don't judge it by its lame art story and characters. Because thats how its suppose to be.
I really thought the ending was something...completely unexpeceted...you must watch to find out..
