UPDATE: Duh, people. Of course I know this is the anime that O was trying to push some episodes ago. That’s the point! I gotta be less subtle I guess.

    It’s self depricating and a children’s show Scott.

  2. Rutty

    Bo-bo-bo is so freakin awesome.

  3. Melanie1001

    Oh my…now I like a lot of anime but….ok…erm…his nose hair is a weapon?

    I would submit, that if O proves that he watched an entire season of Star Trek, I mean absolutely proves it, then maybe you should but…in all honesty I would fear for your sanity if you do!

  4. Travis

    Very DBZ ish, same artist? forgot his name, did Chrono Trigger too.

  5. Shinn

    Akira Toriyama

    I doubt it’s the same artist.

    I watched the first 30 seconds and I WANT to watch this.

  6. Rusco

    This is a show that almost requires you to have a certain kind of humor for… Personally, the crazier it gets the more I like it. It’s great for people who don’t care for plot and have add.

  7. Dezmin

    What has been seen…can never be unseen…I have been scared for life….

  8. ScottyD

    I fear for my hair and sanity.

  9. Cantonkid

    owww….I think I sprained my optic nerve!

  10. Hal

    They used to play this on Cartoon Network. Trust me, it only gets sillier. Like, ridiculously silly.

  11. Gene

    Yoshio Sawai is the original artist of Bobobo.

    I think that Scott is getting the raw end of the deal.

  12. Bearbutt

    I watched this back when O first mentioned it, and it was… just too weird.

  13. Rususeruru

    I think you missed the boat on Bobobo-bo-bobobo (sp? too lazy to go back through).
    It was on cartoon network two years ago I think, and yes it is completely random.

  14. Masterwabbit

    *flops on the floor drooling due to the robbery of his intellectual properties in the first 27 seconds of that video*

  15. Bobacus

    Just when your faith in humanity is at its lowest, a cartoon comes along to restore your faith in the human race.

  16. Chitin

    This is like a Japanese version of Johnny Bravo.

  17. Carrot

    Scott, this is the anime that O recommended awhile back on ELR. BO BO BO – BO BO – BO BO BO!!!

    And for those of you that recognize the art style, it is part of the shonen jump manga, which includes Dragonball. I must say that hearing it in english makes me cringe a bit.

  18. Flabob

    Scott… O hasalready suggested this anime to you, trying to get you into anime… and NOW you find it!

  19. Aroinak

    Hahaha, I’ve seen some weird anime, but this one takes the cake. I remember O mentioning this before, and I had no clue it was this outright wrong. I mean really, Baldibald? The Chromedome Empire? I just cracked up at the…
    “Hey hair, how come I can hear the voices of hair?”
    “Hey kid, how would I know? You’re a freak!”
    Hahaha… And I don’t know, being called a freak by your own hair? That would probably scar me for life too.

  20. Yishimoto

    Im Japanese and even i think this is weird…

  21. The Progn0sticator

    Like O already totally recommended this on an episode of ELR, lol.

  22. Yoonas

    God…what the hell?…I remember O reccomending it, but I wouldn’t have dreamed of anything so freaky. O is a really wierd guy :D

  23. elenawing

    aww come on bobobo is freaking fantastic. It’s more of a show that takes the piss out of itself though. And if you watch a lot of anime, the parodies make more sense.

    i’d never heard it in english before…..my ears are burning

  24. That guy in the corner

    Hmm, doesn’t seem as random as Gintama…..

  25. Gabriel Jordan

    “HIs nose hairs are as strong as steel!”

    That was the point when I lost it…

  26. Trebblebase

    im speechless…

  27. Ben

    Scott, didn’t O already recommend this show to you like 3 months ago when you were hating on anime?

  28. mikenval

    WTF?>?????? Nose hair!????

  29. Gaudemaus

    Could be worse, could be a speedo mustache and string cheese.

  30. wolfshade

    I wish I’d been at the meeting where some guy pitched this concept. I wouldn’t understand a word anyone was saying, but the looks would be priceless anyway.

  31. Pineapple Farmer

    DON’T WATCH IT!!! It’s just trying to turn you and your family into skinheads!

  32. Sputnik

    is it a bad thing that i want to watch this -’- XD

  33. tyler

    Its gold baby gold

  34. Lifeisaglitch

    @Travis

    no, just no. But its got that super ironic feel to it though (Making fun of super sentai poses and all) good catch.

  35. Tolwyn

    Even talented artists, promotions, theme music, show distribution, et al cannot stop…

    Utter crap.
    This is… utter crap.
    As if the animation studio took some dare and unbelievably got this to be distributed.

    Wow.

  36. Matt

    Why has no-one else ever thought of a hero that fights with his nose hair!?!

  37. Sprayon

    that looks.. HORRIBLE.

  38. Warlord_Pipsqueak

    Yeah the show is awsome… the dutch dub sorta sucks big floppy donkey…”dangly-bits” though

  39. CGVega

    thanks, scott. this totally made my day. it is umbleevablee awersurmsr!

  40. Paper Effigy

    I like the manga better, and the anime in Japanese with subs. Really great stuff, and it really does just get sillier. :P

  41. Traitorfish

    We’ve had this in the UK for months now… S’ok, but gets tiring after a while. None of the Japanese cultural references work, so they just replace it with totally random nonsense… Funny, but not always done as well as it could be.
    That said, getting to hear Ghost in the Shell’s Batou with a southern accent and over-the-top “heroic” voice is always funny. :D

  42. hesit8

    I only love this show because it’s terrible. (And because there is a character named Pickles…)

  43. Ramius

    I don’t know what those people were on as they thought of this… But I want it!

  44. Esta

    This shite show has been on that network for a while now.
    Cartoon networks epic plunge of failure into the deep dumpsters of bad cartoons is only getting worse.

    Epic Lawl at that ruddy mess of a show.

  45. Dave

    damn you O my brain has shutdown in self protection… that show was just painful.

  46. Chris Knight

    scott, if you do watch this i want to as well so tell us when its going down. we can have a huge watch-a-thon or maybe a mini nerd-tackular!

  47. bart7374

    Seriously Scott, how could you agree to watch this? it is just so mental and so stupid and just so retarded, that i watched about 10 episodes and i’m just like “SCREW THIS THIS IS JUST 2 MUCH LIKE WTF”

    This will seriously turn you off anime for good scott… You should watch something serious instead of a mental crazy stupid show like bobobo. Like Death Note. Or Full Metal Alchemist. I’m sure Gene would agree with me in that.

  48. Dhjehuty

    Avoid Bobobo and see if O will let you watch a good anime, like Planetes.
