This is one of those typical Shonen series that grows on you. It grows on you because its got good action, solid humor, and a great story. This series for the most part sticks to the Manga very well. There are a few things out of place and the ending isn't the same as the Manga. The Anime captures the Heart and Spirit of the Manga throughout the course of the series. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys Anime in general. The main characters are character that you can connect with. And I would say to anyone who has lost a friend, or has deep friendships with people this series may just make you enjoy it even more. I know I did.

If I would give this show one bad thing, is the ending. And only because it wasn't the Manga's ending. While certainly a good ending and equal in its epicness. The Manga ending was "holy crap" in comparison. But, for that being the only change in the transition from Manga to Anime I was still very pleased with it. (show less)

Story: Rather unique for an anime from 2003 and in my opinion it's excellent (5/5)

Dialogue: The anime starts a little fuzzy but gets better on the way :)! (4/5)

Animation: The graphics don't have any quality in it if you ask me if you compare this to the larger and better anime's it's just bad. (3/5)

Entertainment: It has funny scenes and terrible jokes that make you laugh as well as serious fight scenes so if you like that i really suggest you watch it. (5/5)


I like this anime because it has everything i like and it has a better story then most big anime's if you ask me so a must watch from my opinion! :)
NOTE: if you dislike bad quality don't start downloading everything because the graphics aren't really good but you should try it if you have the time (show less)
