So I finally started watching (or more like half-watching) Katekyo Hitman Reborn, which is a funny shounen series, but only if you have lots of time, patience and up for silliness. The first 18 episodes is basically character development, with episode 19 as a lead-in to a new arc and then we finally meet a real boss in episode 20. I only decided to download the series after being sucked in by all the 6927 or 8059 artwork in DA, and then found that it's really funny to watch. At first, I was kind of just sitting in front of my monitor with my eyes looking like O_O; <-- this the entire time wondering what in the world I was watching, but then it really grew on me.
I have to say that I love Hibari Kyoya and Rokudo Mukuro right now though ^__^; Both are my favorite characters and Hibari's theme is one of my fave pieces in the soundtrack ^_^. Mukuro is a pretty intriguing character so that's why I like him, and Hibari is just really *__*! I love the cool, aloof, and solitary types ^,~ Hehe. I like Tsuna too, but only on days he's not crying "Tasukete!!!" and screaming ^_^; I can't hate Tsuna though 'cause if you think about it, he's just a regular middle school kid who got this crazy situation thrown at him from nowhere so it's no wonder that he's so against it. I mean, if I were in his shoes I'd be pretty irritated with things too so in other words, all his actions are pretty understandable ^_^.
Anyway, I really like this series and am glad that I downloaded it. I like the arc-central episodes better than the filler-like ones though ^_^; (Although some of those filler-like episodes were originally drawn in the manga too ^_^) For instance, the Varia arc had me at the edge of my seat often 'cause I haven't really read the manga yet so I only wanted to know what happened next. (I've started reading some chapters now that I'm this into the anime series). Right now, I just started the "Future Arc" so my batch of episodes are dwindling ^_^;;;
There's a really nice thing about starting a series 2 years after vintage date and that's being able to do a series marathon as opposed to waiting every week for a new episode ^_^; I also watch it without critiquing the series much and enjoy it more ^_^; Right now, a majority of the drama and anime I watch, I usually critique 'cause I only have one episode to work with at a time, but when I have a whole batch to watch, I just cruise right through them without thinking much of it ^_^; I just know that I really am enjoying this series right now ^,^
I definitely recommend KHR, but only if you're a fan of gag-comedy, supernatural, shounen series. The first two or three episodes took me some adjusting to, but once I started just watching it for the fun of it, I got into it. I must say that I didn't exactly focus on watching it until episode 19 though ^_^;;; (I was kind of half-watching, mostly listening to the first 18 episodes while working on a piece of fan art ^__^;;;;)
Anyway, I have like 20 something episodes left to watch till I'm all caught up with most current episode so I'm going to go do that now~
