    Whiny Main Hero

    Buchigiri is a remake of an anime movie by the same title. I don't remember whether I've watched the previous version of film or not, but I do get annoyed a lot by the main hero being a whiny and live in his unrealistic fantasy of ideal relationship.

    The supporting characters, however, were all great and enjoyable. A lotal friend who vouched and tried to protect him at all time, a genie who longed for a powerful human to sync with, a girl he fell for who was a psychotic, big brother lover, her big brother who was psychotic violence gang head, and more characters yet to introduced.

    The action and humor were well timed and fun AF. The comical violence drew at minimum a smile. But the main hero being a whiny boy turned me off and less interested.

    It's a good anime, it has its flaws (mainly the MC), but it's good overall.

    The story should've focused on Arajin and Matakara fixing their broken relationship, but instead we got a boy simping for a girl who doesn't even like him. I just hope there is a season 2, because the final episode showed that they are close again like how they used to in the past. Plus the story is more interesting when it focused on Matakara side of the story much more than Arajin.

    Apart from the lame MC, everything else is good, although i don't like Arajin, but the final episode did make me not hate him as much, but I still don't like him in general, he had potentialc and maybe we can see that in season 2? We can only hope.

    MAPPA's Knockout Blend of Action, Comedy, and the Supernatural

    Bucchigiri had a promising start with its unique visuals, intriguing premise (think Aladdin with a modern twist), and energetic action. It built up a lot of mysteries, but the show never delivered answers. What is "Honkibito"? Why is Matakara obsessed with becoming one? The side characters like Senya and Yichiya felt pointless, possessing high schoolers for their grudge match. Matakara's fixation on the main character and the Cat Cafe plot with Miss Jasmine all felt like wasted ideas.

    But the biggest disappointment was the characters. The main guy, Arajin, was a shallow ladies' man stuck on getting with one girl. All his early fights were just to impress her, with cringeworthy declarations about "losing his virginity." There was no room for him to develop amidst the constant brawls, making his later personality shift feel unearned. The rest of the cast wasn't much better. They felt like wacky stereotypes rather than actual people with motivations and stories. This show had the potential to be something special, but it fumbled the plot and wasted its characters.

    amazing anime and amazing animation

    Produced by Mappa so the animation is amazing, the characters are lively and I find myself looking forward to this anime every week. The fights have great choreography and are a feast for the eye. The characters are all quite quirky and likable. The main character is whiny and quite annoying at times but i believe its for the sake of giving more room for character development.

    I find the setting and the scenery of the anime quite unique among all other anime, it feels like a mix of all types of cultures but yet very natural. The different gangs in this anime make it all the more interesting.:)
