The video is good but the sub-titles are timed so briefly that we cannot read them. This is a gift for a hearing-impaired individual so it is challenging to watch it when she cannot read much of what the sub-titles say. I watched it with her and I could not read them and I am a fast reader.

Bobobo has been one of my favorite anime for a while and I'm glad to see that it's finally getting an unedited DVD release. It's not for everyone but if you like extremely weird, wacky, and random humor Bobobo is for you.

Now about the DVD itself. First the good news, it's unedited, has good video quality, and the english dub, while heavily localized in spots, is very good. Unfortunately, the lack of proper subtitles to accompnay the Japanese language track is a huge problem. Instead we just get the closed captioning text for the English version. Plus, they don't even stay on the screen long enough for anyone except a speed reader. These problems, and a few other more minor flaws knocked two stars off my rating.

If you don't mind sticking to the English dub or can speak Japanese the problems won't bother you too much. And, short of imports or illegal downloads this is the only way to get your hands on an excellent show.

A very funny spoof of all hero stories, the one who controls the fist of the nose hair defends his blonde afro and the hair of others against evil (sometimes wearing a bridal gown).
