What a strange show this is. To think that Toonami picked it up in the first place is strange. Strange or not this anime is freaking cool.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (or Bo x7) is an anime about the titular character mostly know as just Bobobo and his allies stopping an evil group called the "Hair Hunt Troop" from shaving the world's populous bald. Even some members of the Hair Hunt Troop align themselves with Bobobo after he defeats them.

The catch of this show is the amount of weird and borderline absurdest humor from Bobobo, the majority of his allies and just about everyone else in the show. At one point Bobobo or one of the others are fighting an opponent, out of nowhere somebody (usually Bobobo or Don Patch, a character shaped like the sun with legs) does something completely random to what they were doing, sometimes effecting the outcome of the first thing they were doing.

The show was written with many Japanese jokes, with the English dub came, they re-wrote many of the jokes, making the show even weirder.

This show's hilarious, though the absurdity of the show is too much for some, I recommend you watch it once. Some hate it, some like it, but I'm certain most will be entertained by Bo x7's random humor instead of put off by it.
