Despite having never seen Jing: King of Bandits while it was airing back in the day, it still feels nonetheless nostalgic. The classic shonen badassery, the stylized art, and the distinctly episodic nature of its story, all serve to embody that 2000s vibe really well, and the viewer is immersed in it from start to finish. Really interesting episodic adventure anime is one of my favorite kinds, and even with the somewhat generic and trope-y shonen hallmarks, it still pulls off this style in a creative and engaging way. It feels like something I would have loved growing up, watching it on a Saturday morning or late at night, totally enthralled by the unique setting and edgy art style that is highly reminiscent of Hot Topic, and feels somehow like a stylistic relative of Soul Eater. That bein…

It's so much fun watching anime you saw as a kid!
I remembered it as more successful, but it completely passes the test of time.
The characters are interesting
The stories it tells are quite interesting and entertaining.
I liked the characters design.
The opening and closing song are great.
The pace of the anime is just fine.
It's sad that there wasn't too much depth to the story and there was no background story on the characters.
In conclusion, I'm glad I got to see this anime again and close a circle.
Score 6/10
Highly recommend for those who have time.

Jing, King of Bandits. After watching the OVA first I was expecting to be amazed, I was disappointed a little. The series is good, but the OVA was great. The main series relied a lot on the special attack Kir Royale and at times didn't go deep enough into the story or didn't flesh out the story enough, I should say.
The music was casino like and appropriate for the series. The art in the series was very good if not great and it mixed it up a lot. I enjoyed the parts where Jing and Kir were silly and enjoyed themselves. They get into trouble a lot, but deliver the goods.
I recommend this series for someone looking for some laughs. It's an upbeat series, with a good sense of humor. It's not the greatest anime series and probably won't crack my Top 100 List, but has it merits.

I will admit I have a thing for outlaw type stories. I like reading and watching anything that has to do with thieves and assassins. I saw the name and decided to give it a try from the name along. I recalled seeing the Jing’s character design once in the distant past, but other than that I went in blind. I wasn’t really impressed in the beginning, nor was I particularly satisfied when the last line of credits scrolls on the final episode.
Story: 4/10
So I found out pretty quickly that the whole story is basically a teen with his feathery partner going through a city to steal whatever valuable items are there; and winning the heart of some lady along the way! This happens every.single.episode.
Now repetition is fine for children’s shows, and when you only see an episode about once a week…

Laohoam- To me this anime had a lot of potential, but failed to reach it. The lack of a plot is what got me the most. Though there was some episodes that tied together, other then those the only thing that really tied the anime together was the fact he was the king of bandits. I would recommend if you want a few short stories, which is what each episode pretty much was, but all and all it was ok.
Zarroc- it was good.
Tadgh: For starters, I really liked the art style, it was what attracted me to this anime in the first place. Other than that, there isn't much of a story through out and a lot of the episodes jump around a lot. A few ended with me being more confused than satisfied. It was a good, short watch. It had it's flaws but I was entertained throughout.

I bought King of Bandit Jing as a Complete Collection because it was actually quite cheap and because I've heard it was quite good.
When I started watching I kind of got the feeling, that watching all the episodes in a row might take away some of the feeling of the anime, because the episodes are in most cases unconnected. For that reason I wasn't really captivated by the anime. Starting from episode 6 though, it got alot more interesting and I started to really enjoy it. It was alot of fun to watch and the characters are totally amazing. With some difficulties at the beginning, the anime ended up being really great and I can only recommend it. It might not be a masterpiece, but it is definitely worth watching.

I watched this anime a while ago, but I remember how I felt about it.
--Story: 5--
Was there one? As from wiki "King of Bandits Jing is a series of short, usually disconnected stories starring the young boy who calls himself Jing, the Bandit King. Although Jing's reputation seems to extend throughout the universe of the series, many enemies underestimate him, not expecting the "great" King of Bandits to be a "little kid"."
Quite accurate, a different story each episode. I admit, a few episodes did have a bit of charm to them, and the short romances that Jing experiences in the series were somewhat cute, but that's all the series gives. A light story, that allowed the creators to put little thought into the series. It can work, and I've seen it work, but Jing does not pull it off in a way…
