I said to myself: I'll watch it, because I study manglobe, and the cover gives the impression of, anime with serious themes. Then, since I had already seen: samurai champloo, gangsta, deadman wonderland, house of five leaves, I wanted to see what was different. I didn't catch up with the original, as I'd read that it wasn't needed. No emotion. This anime failed to portray one emotion in a cross. Then, usual paradigm: you look at people's rating, high. You think: let's have a look. You end up asking: how is it possible, that it has 7.5? Below I explain, why I didn't like it, and why this grade. At the bottom you will find all the scenes that made my ears perk up.

"Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke" stands out as an exceptional addition to the "Zettai Karen Children" universe, surpassing its parent story in several key aspects. Moreover, Hyoubu Kyousuke's role as a protagonist in "The Unlimited" demonstrates why he is superior to Kaoru.

Never watched the parent series since the tone seems to be the polar opposite of this spinoff but this show quickly became one of my favorite 12 episode anime. Started off with good premise and decent worldbuilding and then the story took off and had good plot twists. great sounds and decent soundtrack, art is visually pleasing and not terribly hard on the eyes. Honestly the only reason this isn't a 10/10 for me is because i wanted more, I wished certain story elements got fleshed out more and I would binge a series that takes place Hyoubuu and Tsubomi's past in WW2.

This is the good stuff ! Never watched its parent series Zettai Karen Children because fuck that i ain't got time for this and it looks like shit tbh. No no no here we talking about the BIG BOY HIMSELF THE CHAD FINAL BOSS : Hyoubu FUCKING Kyousuke !!!!! This series is really about my dude right there ! Just a simple Esper dude who wants to save as much fellow Espers... Wait a damn minute i think i've heard this shit before... Yeah that's it : Hyoubu-san is just like my main man Magneto aka the best X-Men character aka one of the best antagonist of the Marvel Comics Universe in general ! So if this didn't made you realize how BADASS the protagonist of this show is then i don't know what to tell you. Just go watch the damn thing you gonna like it hahahaha Bye FUCKERS !!!

I don't think its blind fanatism, instead, I truly believe this is one of the best anime of all time, that. without a shadow of a doubt deserved way more seasons and an expansion to the story. The characters where incredible, the settings, the topics, everything the unlimited touched turned to gold. Its truly a shame to look back at it 6 years later and think of it as an abandoned project, when it could have been so much more. An amazing anime with very little appreciation or consideration. If you haven't yet, give it a watch, you won't be disappointed in any corner. I hope someone gets to see this and responds because unlimited fans are on short supply and these days. Also one small detail, Last resolution may very well be one of the best songs produced for an anime, it's up there with 99…

First things first:
This is a standalone anime. By no means do you have to know anything about the original series to understand or enjoy this one. In fact, I never had even heard of the original series, and when I did look into it, it seemed totally out of my interest zones due to the Loli and little girl bullshit. I hate cutesy anime, and I don't even really like typical Shonen/fighting anime, so I don't plan on watching it anytime soon.
The unlimited is, sadly, relatively unknown and therefore under appreciated.
It's equal parts mystery, fighting and alternative history, and it does almost everything right.
A recent show that actually has gotten much hype and critical acclaim that I could compare The Unlimited to would be Bungo Stray Dogs, as both shows straddle a fine line betwe…

I was browsing crunchyroll one day and cane across the unlimited Hyoubu Kyousuke. The description had sold me when it mentioned a silver hair, which for me Silver/white hair is my favorite color of hair. I had no idea what to expect when entering this series.
So what I got was awesome. Hyobu is an extremely entertaining character who is not only OP he also tends to be a bit of a troll. Though his can character can be very serious at times in the later parts.
The co-star of our story is Andy Hinomiya (a guy who looks strangely like Shun Asanaga from Endride), a character Hyobu found in jail(presumably because of Endride) and adds to his crew of loyal followers and a cute little girl.
the rest of the crew isn't really that important, except for the little girl Yugiri, whose the shy type.…

Unlimited Hyobu Kyosuke is a spinoff to Zettai Karen Children that tones down on much of the comedy to the series, focuses more on its darker and serious elements, and shifts major focus from the Children of BABEL to our series titular anti-hero and his comrades among the esper resistance organization known as PANDRA. An esper by the name of Andy Hinomiya with the power to negate esper powers winds up joining PANDRA during one of Kyosuke's missions, being a secret agent sent to infiltrate the organization and finding his loyalties to come into question as he becomes more acquainted with PANDRA's familial environment and operations.
With Unlimited's more serious bent and the focus shifted on Kyosuke, it is more focused on exploring the hostility between espers and humans from his perspecti…

This anime is 12 episodes long. It's fast paced with lots of action scenes, sarcastic moments, sad moments, pretty much everything. When i first saw the first episode i knew i was going to enjoy this anime. It has that compassion side towards it, where not many action anime's have it so early into the anime.
Story 9/10
I've rated the story 9/10 because for starters, it's 12 episodes long. It's fast paced which i like especially for a short series. The plot makes sense, and the pace is very smooth.
Art 10/10
The art you see in this anime may remind you of the newer animes, like Hamatora or Jormungand. They spice up the art to look exactly what you'd want! For an evil bad guy, or a good guy with hatred in his soul, they certainly focus to bring out the key details to make you want to go…

Great anime. The way the plot twists, without any spoilers, is amazing, and how it is retelling past events in a way bigger than the anime itself, without collapsing on itself. The only problem with it is its humour and some of its script is strictly dictated by manga-logic. I didn't read the manga but its manga-esque which is a good thing because you have to watch it alllllll. IF YOU READ THIS YOU HAVE TO WATCH. p.s. music is bad

Well,where to start.
this one took me completely by surprise,it was executed just so well.to start with,i had not watched the parent series9it is 51 or so episodes long!)i also found it was a bit too...cute for me.it seemed to be a lighthearted anime,and i did not like the idea of watching a cute version of x-men.but this,its spin-off,this was just great!now i am not skilled in writing reviews which are detailed and well,good.so i will be haphazard in my writing.without spelling out the story,as you can see from the description,our protagonist is the head of an esper organisation P.A.N.D.R.A.the children,who are the main protagonists in the parent anime,are present,though in a supporting role rather than as leads.hyobu is humanised,everyone seems to care for his wellbeing genuinely.the rel…

Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited- Hyoubu Kyousuke is a shounen anime based on a manga by Shiina Takashi. The studio behind this adaptation of the series was handled by Manglobe, the studio behind Deadman's Wonderland, Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy, along with a bunch of things I haven't seen. I have no idea what to expect from this one. I'd describe that as intriguing, but the last time I expressed excitement at watching something completely unfamiliar I ended up watching Cheesesteak Suppository. Let's just take a look.
The story of Zettai Karen Children: Unlimited, henceforth referred to in this review as ZKC:U for the sake of brevity, opens with a silver-haired character named Hyoubu Kyousuke using ESP to wreck everything before allowing himself to be captured. He's taken to a pri…

I have yet to finish the original but The Unlimited H.K. is pretty stand alone as its spin-off focusing on Kyousuke, a sort of enigmatic criminal from Zettai Karen Children. Despite the somewhat lack of depth in plot, character development and just not exploring all the settings to the full extent, there're a few things I really like in this series.
First the protagonist is ideally imperfect, strong and likable. His character is significantly enriched through the 2 episodes about his past as well as throughout the entire anime where he takes on a lot of burden to protect his crew. Here, the flashbacks are used perfectly for the purpose of augmenting the understanding of his motives. There's a lot of potential to this character yet he somehow puts all of his hope in the "Queen of Catastro…

One of the most important things that I loved about this series was that although it was a spin-off, you did not need to watch the original series, Zettai Karen Children, to understand the storyline. In fact, having not watched the original may make this series all the more enjoyable to watch because everything will be new and you’ll be able to watch without previously formed opinions.
The artwork is extremely visually appealing. It leaved the childish, overly cartoon-like appearance of the original Zettai Karen Children and enters a more realistic and alluring style. The characters are drawn with dramatic features that draw you in and emphasize the mysteriousness of the storyline.
The characters themselves are seriously one of a kind. Hyoubu, leader of P.A.N.D.R.A. and one of the main c…

Wow....the unlimited - Hyobu Kyousuke..... I watched the first episode and I was just immediately hooked. I must admit though that I did not see the mother show, Zettai Karen Children. I had found this and just thought that I had to watch, even though I am still unaware what the mother story actually brought to the table.
Story:
Ok, I gave the story an 8, but don't expect the most intricate storyline ever. So don't expect a puella magi madoka magica. but it's actually not that bad, a little standard but also some little twists to keep everyone hooked. I was and I can't stand slow and boring storylines =P
Art:
WOW, just wow. the colours are so vivid it's astounding and the animation is top notch. smooth, colourful and just pure awesome.
sound:
you can sort of tell by the music that i…

First: I didnt watch more then 1 ep of the original "Zettai Karen Children" and in my opinion it is not necessary to do so. This spinoff is nothing like it.
The Anime has an overall "Dark" feeling, and you will like to watch it if you like :
→ mysterious powers
→ badass (esper) guys fighting, maybe not for the world peace, but for esper freedom ^^
→ to solve the secret behind unlimited Power!
→ a great storyline and explanation about how espers got introduced into the present society
Its the story about Hyobu, and how he started to be what he is: An esper with Unlimited Powers, and a leader of an esp criminal organization. It still means that hes a bad guy, but it explains why hes like that.
(slight spoiler)
The presented world has many conflicts between espers and government - th…

The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke: It Has Its Limits
Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited was actually one of the more surprisingly good series I watched out of the Winter 2013 lineup. One of the nice things about this series is while it does have the Zettai Karen Children name slapped to this series, you don't actually have to watch the original Zettai Karen Children to understand the story. I certainly hope that didn't deter anyone from watching this series, because it nearly deterred me since I originally had no interest in the series. I originally thought you had to watch the first Zettai Karen Children to follow the plot...and after hearing about how mediocre that series was, I wasn't looking forward to it. As I said, you fortunately don't have to sit through Zettai Karen Children to u…

When I first started watching this series, I originally thought, “Oh, it's just another anime with cool guys and girls using superpowers and flying around like Superman-wannabees.”. Of course, that was before I watched its parent story, Zettai Karen Children. But more so, it was before I fully embraced the spinoff known as Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke. This new piece of work that Manglobe is presenting here could be defined as their latest line in their evolution of supernatural phenomenon. In fact, Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited takes supernatural with a world of super powers and transforms it into profound psychic tale starring....
