Anime Sunabouzu

[Dan Rugh]

I've been hearing about Sunabouzu and thought it might be an interesting anime. [URL=http://home.nc.rr.com/momotato/]Momotato Daioh[/URL] (<--link) is an anime blog site that I've frequented ever since I started watching Kono Minikuku Mo Utsukushii Sekai and he seems to love Sunabouzu. It's being animated by GONZO, whom you may know from Samurai 7, Peacemaker Kurogane, Chrno Crusade, Gantz, and Bakuretsu Tenshi.

Here's the main character:

I watched the first episode a little while back... definitely not my type of show, but you might like it. *shrugs* The comedy is very silly, the fanservice is very blatant and and the plot is very insubstantial. If you're looking for great action, find something else--if you like women with watermelon-sized breasts, watch Sunabouzu or Grenadier. If you happen to prefer svelte young girls, check out Uta~Kata or Tsukuyomi Moon Phase. At this point Sunabouzu consists of a) fanservice, b) jokes about fanservice, c) slapstick and d) gun-centric action. There honestly isn't much more to it other than the fact that the setting is somewhat Trigun-esque.

No, because I don't live in Japan. haha! This show isn't licensed in America. :)
EDIT: It's on CBC in Japan if that's truly what you were asking. :D

From your description, Dagger, I didn't think I'd like Sunabouzu, but I kinda enjoyed it. Sunabouzu himself is a cool little guy, I must say. His combat tactics are pretty neat with the balloons, gases, and such. I reallly liked his voice actor, too; he might be what makes Sunabouzu so likeable since he has no real facial expressions. The gas masks might bug me a little if I never get to see anyone's face, though.

The music, however wasn't my style and I was unimpressed by the live-action opening sequence. It just seemed like an old corny Power Rangers-type show. The ending sequence, though, was very cool with them showing you a rudimentary way to draw Sunabouzu. Another thing that kinda turned me off was the "pudding" thing. I would classify that as flan, though, since it had the jellow consistency and the caramel top. That stuff just makes me wanna puke from looking at it and the way the Kawazu no Oyabun ate it really turned my stomach. lol Let me warn you that the taste is just as bad.

Although I'm not a big fan of fan-service, it didn't bug me all that much because of Sunabouzu's reactions toward it. He really made it more-lighthearted from the way he outright called Asagiri Junko "Boin-chan." He's a cute little perv. haha

Final Words: I'll definitely check out the next episode.

Lol... SunaBouzu is... well... pretty much lol. I liked it, but only because i'm impressed by shiny things and big explosions, guns and whatnot and of course, watermellon sized boobs. I'm a big fan of Trigun-style anime, that combine action with comedy, so I definatly liked SunaBouzu. The show, however, is nothing special, but is still somthing kool. I'm gona check out the nect EP, I guess... Whatever...

Lunar-Anime released episode 2 today and I watched it about a half-hour ago. It wasn't as good as episode 1, but I still enjoyed it. A new character, Amagumo, was introduced. He's like Sunabouzu but tall, wears all black, is more serious, and is a lot less perverted. Naturally, Amagumo and Sunabouzu instantly clash which eventually has them compete in a (silly) duel. I think they'll become friends for some reason...
