Line 433:
* I will admit that I'm NOT surprised that ''[[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' hasn't gotten any gushing yet. For a series that was on CN for its entire run, it's vastly underappreciated and bashed unjustly. But consider this: It an [[Affectionate Parody]] of anime ITSELF, concentrated into a 76-episode series, mocking every part of every genre. In reality, it's like the /b/ of anime, and I love it. The English VA casting is surprisingly well done, with each character's personality shining through immediately. But more than that, for me and the many fans I've spoken to, this show is escapism in hilarity, [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]] with enough utterly lovable characters to fuel my Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust into the end of time. Not to mention it has one of the friendliest fanbases I've EVER seen, probably due to the nature of the show. It's not brilliant, it's not the "greatest anime of all time", but it's genuinely bizarre and bizarrely genuine. To anyone who ever watched five minutes of the show and dismissed it (ALL SIX THOUSAND OF YOU), I suggest you give it another try.
* I beg of you, go find and read ''[[My Lovely Ghost Kana]]''. Right now. Stop reading this and go. Still here? You want more reasons? Ok. Do you like reading a story where the characters grow and develop? Are you a sucker for happy love stories that have realistic, unbelievably well-written plots? Do you want to read a story that is so heartwarming and touching that just reading it makes you feel good about the world? If you are feeling depressed, then empathize with the ghost of a girl who committed suicide and a guy who is ready to give up on the world who discover that life is worth living by falling in love with each other. Do you want to smile and then [[Mood Whiplash|suddenly find yourself crying]] by the very next page? Do you like to look at pretty, naked girls? Then go read a story that looks at the growth of a relationship, including all the sexy parts, with a hardcore seriousness that will remind you of the first time you ever fell in love, and leave you warm and happy and glowing and completely in love with Kana and Daikichi.
** Then go read ''[[Virgin Night]]'' and ''[[Ai-Ren]]'' by the same author, [[Tanaka Yutaka]], and feel it all even more. When you are done with those, follow ''[[Mimia
* ''[[Pumpkin Scissors]]''. This troper, possibly because it reminds her of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', LOVES this series to death. She enjoys the reversal in gender roles when concerning the main characters, Alice and Randel. Normally, the guy is very distant if he has a [[Dark Mysterious Past]], sometimes bordering on Badass *cough*Sasuke*cough* where as the girl is very naive, weak, and far too cheerful to bear. Or it goes to the opposite extreme and the guy is rambunctious and possibly THE most annoying character on the program and the girl is a [[Shrinking Violet]] or a Tsundere. Alice is reasonably well fleshed out, she's not just there to be the [[Genki Girl]], she's there to be the LEADER. She's not eye candy, she's very much a person with flaws and strong feelings of justice even though she sometimes is naive about it. Randel fits the idea of [[Dark Mysterious Past]] to a T, however, he doesn't let it make him bitter and angry with the world. He's a [[Gentle Giant]] and when he turns on his lantern, that's when he's the definition of Badass. He, like Alice, is also portrayed as a very human character, plagued by nightmares of his past and genuinely not taking too much pride in what he has done. Randel, unlike other anime/manga men of his kind, is the one who seems to need Alice more than Alice needs him. This is what I meant earlier by gender role reversal. They respect one another as (somewhat) equals. This troper truly appreciates that in the two core characters.
** Also, Oreldo, Machs, Stecchin, Hunks, and Mercury, they are also wonderful parts of this misfit unit. They help display that not every anime/manga group follows a specific pattern. For example, Oreldo, though lecherous, is not disrespectful of a womans space and needs; he's actually a gentleman.
* I'm surprised that [[Peach Girl]] isn't up here! This troper did not like realistic, slice of life schoolgirl anime until she saw this one. It's also got a great message about believing in yourself.
