I'll be honest since most of the reviews in my opinion are usually really long and I end up generally skim-reading it so in light of that ill try to make mine as short and concise as I can.
Let me just start of by saying I give the anime an overall of 10. My total experience left me completely satisfied although I wish the anime and manga continued since the ending was a bit blunt, however due to financial reasons on the companies behalf I understand that it didn't meet the funds required.
Moving on, the story and characters were a solid 9 for me since I (***really slight spoilers***) found the idea of the ring aspect, 10 year bazooka, and future ark really cool entirely. Especially the few plot twists that actually surprised me occasionally here and there. The character development on…

If you are looking for something striking from the very first episode, this may not be the series for you. I know it certainly was not for me at first.
The opening episodes are confusing, borderline absurd, and often feel nonsensical. Even when the characters explain what is happening, you may find yourself staring at the screen thinking, “Is this for real? What was the author thinking?” I certainly did. However, after enduring several episodes of exaggerated comedy, bizarre characters, and an intentionally ridiculous premise, something unexpected happens: you slowly become immersed in the story.
Story
This is a shounen series, but not a conventional one. Its premise already sets it apart: a teenage boy who is apparently bad at everything is selected to become the boss of the Vongola Ma…

REEEEBOORN!! Super hax for 20 seconds!!! Impossiburu! The! Strongest! In! The! World!!! But at all other times he's a useless cry-baby that's attractive to the most popular women! Why! I don't know!
Katekyo Hitman REBORN! is an episodic anime about a useless kid named Tsuna (it's not his full name) who gets a home tutor named Reborn. Reborn is a baby. A baby who is the most intelligent, best, and deadliest hitman in the (Italian) Mafia who went to Japan to find a new Mafia boss, Vongola X. He went to Japan to find a new (11 y. o.) Italian mafia boss. Makes sense? This is only the beginning. Every couple of episodes a new character is introduced; all of them better than Tsuna. Because he's a tuna. And tuna is not very successful in life, though it may have more success as a dish. Tsuna has…

So i wanted to watch KHR for a long time but something was stoping me and one day when i was sick and had nothing to do i decided to give it a go, and my only wish is that i could have done this earlier as KHR is one of the best and unique shonens out there!
As im writing this review im listening to the KHR ost called Tsunas awakening. The soundtracks and openings of this show is a huge reason that people wanted to watch Katekyo Hitman Rebon. The soundtracks are beyond amazing and works so well with the actuall story and moment. The openings and ending are one of the most consistent of an anime up til date.
Diffrent people tend to argue over the art style of KHR, as for my self it did not bother me so much. If you can get over the first few episodes then the art style will only get bett…

Since Reborn! aired a while back, I doubt anyone will look at this review, but I shall write it anyway. I watched this the beginning of this year, but I never got the guts to submit a review, he he. ;')
Here we have Sawada Tsunayoshi, a middle school student, who by not much luck, is nicknamed 'Loser Tsuna' by all his classmates, assumed to be a failure due to the fact that he's not good at anything. Now, all that may change when he meets the obscure, mafia hitman, Reborn!
WARNING: THE FIRST 20 EPISODES WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO DROP THE SHOW, BUT DON'T, JUST DON'T.

There have been many Mafia animes, and still some are coming up, but what I liked about Reborn! was that it puts its own twist on things. The first 20 episodes are basically like 'daily life' episodes and may make you want…

Holy fuck I just realized I'm considering legitimately re-watching this for the third time.
I know the scores I gave it above probably sound like that of a fanboy who is highly biased, but please, let me prove you wrong.

I adore the story. I am weak to mafia related things, so that was a plus right off the bat. The first twenty episodes weren't too much of a bother, it was generic comedy and such. Nothing special, and the dying will boxer thing was weird. But trust me, the story picks up. And it only gets better and better until you gush over it and fall in love with this absolute masterpiece. It takes twists and turns and all the characters have their own story and represent what they're supposed to as does Tsuna. There is only like two filler recap episodes, but I STRONGLY ad…

Reborn is a generic shonen people may tell you it’s more than that but really it isn't the story is pretty interesting for a shonen a mafia story sounds cool right? Sadly we have a terrible protagonist which whines a lot characters like shinji and kamille do this a lot as well but their reasons are justified in their series. As they do have actually mental issues tsuna does not show this yes you can say it’s a fucking shonen but hunter x hunter had a psychologically distraught protagonist as well.
Tsuna is a generic high school teenager which has the hots for some girl and doesn't have the balls to do anything about it standard shonen cliché’s. The art is fairly mediocre as well the action scenes look alright for a shonen but everything else looks so bland and generic especially the char…

KHR is like any other long shounen series; For someone relatively new to anime, it can be very fun and addicting. If you are too familiar with the tropes used in this genre, it can become a real chore and way too predicable.
Story: The plot progresses in the usual shounen way: The weak and optimistic protagonist trains, and starts fighting enemies who seem much stronger than him, and once he defeats them they often become his allies. The first 20 episodes were fillers, but since I found them funny I didn’t really mind. The battles drag out a bit sometimes, but they are well done in general and there’s enough suspense to keep the viewer interested. The biggest problem however is the filler episodes; they were initially funny, but the same jokes keep getting repeated again and again and it…

Trust me, after watching 5 episodes of this anime, I dropped it, simply because the storyline up to that point was so boring that it feels better to watch a piece of rock than watching this anime. But, after continuous ‘suggestions’ from my friends, I decided to watch katekyo hitman reborn again and oh boy, I never regret watching a single episode!
(The first 20+ episodes were design to make you drop the anime. But, If you manage to endure the 20+ episodes, congratulations! The real fun starts there!)
Unlike typical shonen animes out there, katekyo hitman reborn has no sudden power up from being emotional or whatnot, or the typical ‘always win’ protagonist. However, what keeps the show interesting is the coolness portrayed by the characters in this anime. Another reason why this anime is i…

Amazing anime. Will make you laugh, smile, shout and cry..
Just DON'T judge the anime by the first 20 episodes. Watching till 20 I was ready to quit a few times, but i read some good reviews so i kept watching. If you cant stand them at all, DONT skip em! Just be patient. These episodes are to introduce some of the characters, and of course make you laugh a lot!
The only drawback of this anime (personal opinion) is it's art. Sometimes characters' and backgrounds' art aren't good at all, since the detail is too low.
"So why should i watch it then?" you may ask, the answer is simple: Just give it a try and you will understand why I'm giving it a big 9/10 no matter the drawbacks mntioned above!

Just recently I finished watching the 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn' anime. This is an Anime that has the reputation for being a late bloomer, and I certainly agree with this notion.
When I started watching the show the episodes were funny at first, but it got repetitive pretty fast after the main characters were introduced. The story and the character development slows down and the episodes are the same thing over and over again. (could be filler though)
I even dropped the anime for a while. But I kept reading stories about how it gets better in later episodes, and it did!

I can understand that someone would drop this anime if he or she would only watch the first 20-something episodes. The story has a really slow start. But slowly it will get better as the story progresses further. It…

Ciaossu.
Today we will be taking a look at Hitman Reborn, which was not quite as popular as some other shounen jump titles and it was sort of forgotten a while after it ended.
This is a spoiler free review.
*Story*
The story centers around Sawada Tsunayoshi, an unpopular Japanese junior high-schooler who's one day forced by an Italian baby and his shape shifting pet chameleon (I don't know, just roll with it), to train and become the next head of a certain Mafia called the 'Vongola family'.
First off, you wouldn't expect a shonen anime (which is mainly aimed at kids) to contain a subject matter such as Mafias, would you? And that's why the term 'Mafia' in this series is very loosely connected to the real world definition of it. Are they involved in pedaling drugs? Prostitution? Wait…

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a comedy/shounen/ action anime, told from the view of a male, middle-school student named Tsunayoshi Sawada. The series is almost, if not completely told from his point of view, (I fail to remember any time it wasn't.) and did fit moderately well together. It wasn't completely consistent, as there were some random, filler episodes popping up every now and then mainly for comedic purposes, but it didn't stray too far from the original plot and for the most part amusing, so nothing I would harp about. I have to say, what made this series one of the most interesting was its originality. An infant (emphasis on infant) named Reborn, who is supposedly the most famous hitman on the planet (the anime failed to elaborate more on Reborn's past, unfortunately, but again, noth…

Now here's a shounen with class.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is the adaption of Akira Amano's popular manga series of the same name that ran from 2004 to 2012 for a total of eight years. The anime ended prematurely, and it's unknown whether or not it will continue. However it ended in a good spot as a big arc had been just resolved. So if you're worried about it ending on a cliffhanger, you have nothing to worry about.
Anyway, the story. The story starts out with Tsunayoshi Sawada finding out he is to be the 10th boss of the Vongola Mafia, or as they call mafias in the anime, "families", so the Vongola Family. He is also to be tutored by the Vongola hitman Reborn (Hence the title) so he can become a proper mafia boss. Of course, "Loser Tsuna" doesn't want to be one as he's just a middle schoo…

This series was initially shown to me by a friend. While the first episode was quite...interesting, I soon became hooked to this series.
Story: I think that the plot line was very unique. Compared to other series, Katekyo Hitman Reborn takes a nicer outlook on the mafia, and glances over the darker portions of it. While this may be both good/bad, the different outlook helped to build an interesting plot centered around the main character.
The anime took a long time to start up (I enjoy anime like Darker than Black), but once the action started it had me hooked. I personally do not enjoy watching gag/comedy series, and as such the daily life arc was rather boring. Even so, I would rate the overall plot a 10/10 because of how the plot escalates and twists as the series moves on.
Art: Co…

I have mixed feelings reviewing this show. On the one hand it is hands down one of my absolute favorites. On the other hand it really isn't what I would call amazing. Initially when I first started watching it, I was bored half to death and dropped it after two or so episodes. I got back into it after encountering a few reviews praising it, so I decided to give it another shot. After making it past the first grueling 20 episodes, the plot went into high gear and sucked me in like a kid discovering candy for the first time. For many years I praised it as my favorite anime, and while I still love it, I can't fairly give it a score higher than 8.
Story: The story is very intriguing and very unique which is why I give it so much credit. The problem with katekyo hitman reborn, or KHR for short…

Rarely are you fortunate enough to find an anime that truly brings you into their world and keeps you on edge throughout a 200+ episode series; Katekyo Hitman Reborn seemed to do the trick for me.
The story revolves around a loser of a middle schooler, Tsuna, who is bad at everything and has little friends. One day, a baby home tutor suddenly shows up at his door and informs him that he is a candidate for the boss of the strongest mafia that exists: The Vongola. That is where the fun begins, as Tsuna begins to learn new moves to commence in battle and forms precious bonds with new friends that eventually end up playing a huge part in his mafia. There are many arcs throughout the series, and as the series progresses, Tsuna and his friends battle stronger and stronger enemies that become a…

So... I never thought about reviewing or something but I'm reading so many prejudices about this really great anime lately, so I really have to review it. My English is bad as hell, don't mind it.
Story: 10
If you've watched the first episode of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, you're certainly thinking "What the hell." Well, you're not alone. At first glance, the plot may sound ridiculous. The first 20 episodes don't have anything to do with the rest of the story, it may get boring at first and you don't want to watch it because it's just farcical since it doesn't have anything to do with the "real" mafia (don't get it wrong, the episodes are funny, though). But if you keep up and watch the episodes, you may think this is the best plot ever. You won't find another storyline like this outside.

Okay, I feel like this review is going short and sweet but straight to the point. I decided to pick this up since my friend was going on about this like he does with One Piece. So I decided to give it a shot. The first 20 episodes are a real killer, since that's were a lot of people are like "okay... what is this? Can we get to some sort of story/action already?!" It has its little humor here and there to keep a little smile on your face.
However, for me at least, I did not get interested in until the future arc. That's practically more than halfway through the series. There were a FEW decent fights here and there before than but nothing too captivating. I guess what really had me was that they consistently dragged some parts out. It's noticeable in every arc and because of that, I had to…

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is an outstandingly well made anime. I definitely recommend that you watch it if comedy and action applies to your genre of choice.
At first glance, Katekyo Hitman Reborn may seem boring. The major flaw of the anime is that it absolutely misleads you, and it completely deceives you into either a) dropping the anime or b) thinking the anime is lame, when it isn't!
The first 20 episodes may mislead you to drop the anime, just like it misled me, because of its fillerlike episodes. You will most likely tell yourself "Wow, this is really lame. What's the point of all this?" That's what I thought, but I gave it a chance. (And I'm SO glad I did. Katekyo Hitman Reborn is now my absolute favorite anime.)
The beginning is kind of slow and different from the rest of the later…
