Cartoon Networks Biggest Mistake was Bo Bo Bo Ect

Why Would Catoon Network Pick Up Such and Obiously Stupid and Corny Cartoon?

Robert Guinn
Anime has come to us in many forms, most of them good, like with Naruto, Gundam Wing, and Dragonball Z. However there are those animes that are really bad, I mean really really, wish that the Pacific Ocean was larger and the internet didn't exist bad! One case in point is a show cartoon network has picked up called "Bo Bo Bo - Bo Bo - Bo -Bo Bo" no this is not a joke, this is for real however unfortunate it may be.

This cartoon is drawn in a not so classic anime style. It's very bright, and vibrant with a lot of very jerky movements, nothing like you would expect to see from a traditional anime. The story line is hardly existent and all over the place, the characters are stupid, and that's giving them too much credit. This show has a small fan base but for the rest of us it's just a huge waste of time.

The story of Bo Bo Bo revolves around a man straight out of the 1970's. He's tall and skinny with a huge upper body, with bell bottoms and a low cut baby blue shirt that shows his "manly" chest hair. His name is Bo Bo Bo- Bo Bo- Bo-Bo Bo but Bo Bo Bo for short, confusing enough for you? It gets worse. Bo Bo Bo studied the art of fighting with his nose hair, so that's how he defeats his opponents. Bo Bo Bo travels with a group of misfits like Cutie, a pink haired preteen, Gasser, a boy about Cutie's age with a flatulence problem he uses to his advantage, and Don Patch, were not sure what he is but he resembles the sun and is only 3ft tall.

There are also a number of other mis-matched characters as well. The enemy in the show are all bald and work for a man known as General Baldy Bald, who has no hair and so he want's the world to be devoid of hair as well. The Bald squads go around the world chopping peoples hair off, there is also General Jelly who works for the Bald squads, and he's just a Gumby knock off.

Some of the shows can be funny at times, but only briefly. They poke fun at popular anime like Naruto and DragonBall Z but the story is so random that it takes the humor our of everything. One minuet Bo Bo Bo is in the middle of a fight, then suddenly he and the bad guy are sitting in a school classroom listening to Don Patch sing. Or in the heat of battle everyone stops to listen to the marital problems of two squirrels living inside Bo Bo Bo's head. This can add to the show, but sometimes random and pointless humor is just not funny.

If you have ever seen the show then I am sorry for you, if have never seen the show... don't! The producers writers and artist must have been in another state of mind induced by drug overdose when designing this cartoon ,if you can even call it that. The plot is meaningless, the animation makes me sick and the character acting is hideous. Bo Bo Bo's father was a giant ink blob and his greatest mentor was a man who could hear the voices of hair from around the world. Often times the Booger Brigade form inside Bo Bo Bo's nose will attack the enemy and the Grand Nose Hair from 1000 years ago will also aid to the stupidity. Please don't watch this show, Cartoon Network made a big mistake by picking this program up and we the viewers have to suffer.

    Pshh, says you! Bobobo is made for kids who like to have fun and enjoy the randomness, not stuck-up adults. Ignorance is bliss, like they say, and not knowing what's going on half the time is the fun part! The more you watch it, the more you understand and it never stops being funny. For your info, its Beauty, not Cutie, and the refrences to other anime and Japanese traditions are part of the humor. If you take the time to read the manga, you'll see why it's so amazing. Also, American kids loved it and the only reason it ever got cancelled is because it's really the original Japanese anime with an english dub. They couldn't animate it on their own without it being too wierd-looking after the Japanese stopped airing it so that's why it was cancelled. It's not stupid. At least not to me. Try to get someone's point of view who cares enough to watch the whole series and at least tries to get it. Anyone who's out there and enjoys something a little different and crazy, try this. Anyone who'

    I remember when this show was getting advertised on Cartoon Network for the first time. I started hearing good things about it from fans of the show, so I though it was a good bet. This past summer, I actually got to catch a couple of episodes, and I was very confused. I can usually follw wny anime, as long as it has some kind of rhythm to the story, but I had trouble getting a good pulse on the show. But there were some funny bits though.
