Buso Renkin is another story for killing time while you guys are waiting for long story with endless episodes like Naruto. I was excited when I saw ads on TV that it was written and directed by the same guy who wrote Samurai X. It's the new adventure story but similar to those animations which their main characters and story's plot took places in high school. This story is short (only 26 episodes.) so it didn't take long time to watch. I enjoy watching this Buso Renkin on Animax channel while waiting for next episodes of Naruto, Gintama, and Bleach, etc. on this web.
Not boring but you can guess the end of the story. It's not complexed or twisted like Naruto though. Enjoy!! (show less)

In many ways, the show is somewhat generic. The story, fight scenes and characters aren't very unique compared to some other shows. Despite the lack of originality, the show is a lot of fun to watch. I usually find the jokes in shonen series to be too corny to enjoy, but for some reason the humor and action intertwined perfectly in this series for me to enjoy the entire thing. Also, the formulaic story prevents the writers from introducing anything confusing or distracting. All in all, I would recommend this show to someone who is looking for something fun to watch and is not expecting an intricate plot. Don't be tempted to compare it to FMA because the title has alchemy in it... the two series are not that similar. (show less)
