    Anime of the Month (07/2010) - Buso Renkin

    Like This Thread!
    And then, there was one. The honor of AotM this month goes to Buso Renkin. The entire series is available right now from Viz Media.

    Here is a brief synopsis:

With this device Kazuki can create his own Buso Renkin, an alchemical weapon in the form of a huge lance capable of destroying homunculi.

    With his new weapon in hand, Kazuki decides to join forces with Tokiko to eliminate the homunculi and destroy their master, the strange and eccentric Papillon Masked Creator!

    Even though it's super generic, it's fun paticularly the characters and the english dub is very good. Also it's nice we have a main character is honest about his feelings towards a female.

    I read all 10 volumes, and watched the whole anime series. I liked it, and while some parts were generic and un-memorable, it had solid character development. The ending was SO rushed and clunky, though.

    Oh, and the main character has the most interesting sword ever.

    At last!!!!! Buso Renkin finally won!!! This is one of my favorite animes. I just hope Tokiko is happy that her series finally won.:anime: I still love seeing her in a gorgeous bikini in the 2-part beach episode.

    Tokiko: QUIT STARING AT MY NAVEL!!!!!
    Best Kim Possible Dialogue:
    Kim(to Ron): You're weird.
    Ron(embarrassed) Kim.
    Kim: Shhh. I like weird.

    Most Memorable Winx Club Dialogue:
    Dark Bloom: Why don't you fight?! Or is it because I'm more powerful than the five of you combined?!

    Flora(furious at the Trix for hurting Rose): SHE WAS MY SISTER!!!!!

    .....Woah what? Buso Renkin won!? Heck ya!

    It's one of the few manga/anime that balances things right. It wasn't too long or too short, just right. And it has the greatest butterfly man of all time xD, sadly the manga is way better than the anime due to some jokes translating so much better but the anime is pretty great.

    Glad to see Buso won in the end! It really is a great little show, and needs more love (as does the manga). Nobuhiro Watsuki is a master of his craft.

    And why fear Papillion? He does nothing frightening, I mean, just think of the bucket...and...the Borat thong...and...

    ...Um, okay, yeah. Fear him, but he's also made of win.

    Yeah, just recently joined, and even more just recently getting a chance to look around a bit. ^_^

    Even though it excluded and changed a little bit of the manga (not much at all though), this is still one of the best adaptions of the original manga that I've seen too.

    If nothing else, some of the themes on the soundtrack were pretty ace.

    And I still want that Tokiko PVC that I saw when the series first came out, but I can never buy those things for lack of space.

    After getting through the first six episodes I knew I'd never be able to watch the whole thing. Like other series before it that weren't bad for what they were (Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho), It's just not my thing and I gave up on it, even at only 26 episodes it's too much. I did watch most of ep.7 to see where it was going after the first arc and then most of ep.26 to see the ending and can guess what's in between.

    So, fans of Shonen, enjoy. I'll leave it to you.
    How appropriate. You fight like a cow

    I love this show. Fun little Shonen Jump romp. I like that they had an actual romance with the male and female protagonists. All the main characters are a lot of fun. I like that Kazuki Muto was a complete and utter melodramatic/overly heroic goofball. Kazuki's goofiness is borderline insufferable but they make it work very well.

    Tokiko is like the best tsundere of all time.
