Maybe Bobobo Isn’t so B-b-bad

I apologize profusely for the title up there ^

In researching the Four Heavenly Kings, I had to watch a few episodes of the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo anime. It grated on me so bad because everyone was yelling and overreacting half the time. I understand it’s a silly anime that breaks a lot of rules, but my gooooodness, I couldn’t take it.

Then I got the first volume of the manga to search for additional examples of Bobobo’s four kings. I found a few references and jokes that had me laughing out loud:

Dangggg, what an obscure reference! I had to look at gameplay of the oldĀ Legend of Kage NES game to make sure I was right, and yup. Nice one. I might end up reading this whole manga once my research is done. So hey, if I can’t hear anyone yelling and screaming, Bobobo is a pretty good experience!

Garlic Jr. and the Spice Boys

They captured Mr. Popo in a little magic jar.

Mato & I are watching old episodes of Dragon Ball Z was part of our workday today. I’m surprised at how much more talking there is in the English dub versus the original Japanese.
