Introduction
Ever since they encountered aliens on the moon, humanity's technology has developed by leaps and bounds. Half a century later, even though most have it easy, Robby Yaji and Hacchi Kita cannot seem to catch a break in this advanced society. Robby—a man perpetually struck by misfortune—owes large sums of money to debt collectors due to his poor investments in shady get-rich-quick schemes, and Hacchi finds it difficult to get over the boredom of his mundane life.
The two end up on an adventure of a lifetime when loan shark boss Yang sends Hacchi to collect the money Robby owes. Rather than pay up, Robby blasts off into space and heads to Isekandar, a planet that supposedly brings happiness to anyone who visits. Seeing a chance for some much needed excitement, Hacchi tags along with Robby on this journey filled with alien encounters, giant robot battles, and all sorts of troublemaking—all the while avoiding Yang and his cronies who are desperately combing the universe to find them.

I haven't ever written a review before, but this one needs more attention. Pretty underrated for 2019 animes. Overall, I'd say it was a good show. The art style is really pretty, but the CGI is absolutely awful. It's not enough to ruin the show for you though. While the plot is mediocre, the characters are what made me really enjoy the anime and finish it. I watched it in dubbed, and I got to say it's hilarious. If you want a good show to binge when you're bored, I'd recommend RobiHachi. It's not something to really get invested in, but if you want to multitask while watching, it's the perfect thing for you.

I went into this show not expecting anything at all and to drop it after 2 episodes, but I at least wanted to check it out since I'm a huge fan of both Kazuya Nakai (Robby's VA) and Tomokazu Sugita (Yang's VA)
This show, while not being extraordinary or an extreme masterpiece to most, was everything I needed. The humor was great (though some joked got dragged on a bit too long sometimes), the characters spoke to me and I fell in love with every single one of them.
While the story isn't groundbreaking or anything, it still managed to pull me in and hold me tight for the twelve weeks this show aired; and even now, six months after the last episode aired, this show still means the world to me.
The LGBT representation that is (mostly) Yang and Robby and Hatchi for some part too, is done ama…

Robihachi was a weird experience for me, enjoyable but strange. It reminded me of a lot of Space Dandy except less perverted and with more a focus on food and travel.
Robi, the main guy, is very much the lovable idiot. He has gotten himself massively in debt falling for schemes pitched to him by pretty ladies, be they alien or human. As a result of this, he is tracked down by Hachi, a mysterious man working for mister Yang, the debt collector who we find out has a sort of crush on Robby. To cure his financial woes in his flight from Yang, Robby sets out for Iskandar to get one of their crystals to change his luck. Hachi initially is shanghaied onto Robby's ship but sticks around as he was looking for adventure.
The show then consists of them traveling to planets on the way to Iskandar,…

This show has everything: from over-the-top randomness to action-packed magnum opuses.
After watching the 1st episode, you wouldn't think of it as anything special, probably even calling it a "Space Dandy and Cowboy Bebop rip-off". Once you reach the middle of the series though, everything you've been saying up to that point - void and null. All the tables have turned on you, whether its the modern cliches, stereotypes about Japan or the redundant themes in anime shows; none of that is in here. Everything about it is as original as it can get, just like the show itself.
Feel like you've watched every single Gundam show and you're still confused about their lore? Not a problem: Hizakuriger is the only Mecha in this show you'll need to know about its history. It's short, sweet and most of a…

This anime is delightful and a treat to get through. But I wish it was more.
First, let's talk about what it has:
story: The story is fine. It isn't amazing. It's just a space adventure with 2 dudes from 2 different situations. Think of it as a movie such as Planes, Trains, and Automobiles but in space, and the 2 characters generally get along.
Art: pretty basic stuff here. nothing amazing, Robi's design is very cute. They really do the show justice by giving each world their own art style that reflects on the tourist gimmick.
Sound:... sound? I forgot there was any sound to begin with... I guess that's pretty much my summary for that.
characters: Okay, here we go, here's where the enjoyment is.
Robi: Has a great personality and his look reminds me of a middle-aged rock and roll Jap…

SPOILER FREE REVIEW
This feels like a PG version of cowboy bebop in every possible way, it doesn't have any super heavy themes but is nonetheless enjoyable.
The art is decent, above average in my opinion however movement can be choppy at times, the characters aren't anything exceptional however none are intolerable, the story like the characters is fairly vanilla, sound likewise however overall it is a enjoyable show.
Wont change your life but certainly wont hinder it, I recommend this to anyone wanting a lighthearted fun show to watch especially if you don't mind classic anime cliches every now and then.

The most severely underrated show of the season. Not that it is any good, but it ain't bad either! Quite enjoyable though.
Just by looking at the series title, you've guessed it: it's the names of the central characters of the story: Robby and Hatchi. These yaoi boys, met by fate, go on a journey together to reach the farthest place that space could ever go: to this planet called Isekandar, the place of hopes and dreams that one could ever have. What could absolutely go wrong?
The story is plain nonsensical to say the least, with series composer Hirogo Kanesugi (who composed NouCome) at the helm, plus director Shinji Takamatsu (Gintama, Grand Blue) for his inputs as well. A sorta rip-off of Space Dandy, not exactly, but sub-par to boot.
But where RobiHachi excels, is at its characters,…

Welcome to Mars! Where you can eat a fried octopus and 'eat out’ a live octopus, too. Don’t do it at the same time…Or, at least make certain your friends and family don’t discover your depraved proclivities.
One has to wonder the resale value of Robby Yaji’s organs, especially considering the high costs of space travel. The cost-benefit analysis, obviously, does not favor the debt collectors (Yan’s group). Unless we consider the consequences of a lost reputation, and the exploitation of future debtors. In which case, the end justifies the means.
“Oh my god! It’s a f—king comedy, dude. Stop overthinking it!”
True enough. But the dynamic of the timid friend learning from his ‘looney’ counterpart is redundant. Furthermore, Robby and Hacchi failed as the comedic underpinnings of the series.…
