Kyou kara Ore wa!! Is another delinquent anime, but a real good one. I am a sucker for anime about delinquents for example Yu Yu Hakusho , GTO, Shonan Junai Gumi(the prequel to GTO), and Tenjou Tenge. Kyou kara Ore wa is closer to the likes of Shonan Junai Gumi and the beginning of Yu Yu hakusho. This Ova though holds its own against all those anime mentioned earlier which is not easy to do. Anyways onto the review; Story: The story does not have an overall plot or big arc story-line that it follows, it is more like an episodic anime. The anime startswith the two main characters entering a new school but want to change their image to bad-boys or delinquents . The kick is they never met each other until recently and they don't really get along at first. Even though the anime might be episodic it does not feel like your normal episodic anime because they have so much going on every episode, that your wondering how did they end up from point A the beginning of the episode to point G at the end of the episode. The two main characters get themselves in some ridiculous situations which are hilarious. The story also has really good humor, it is clean, fun and does not rely on toilet jokes or gross stuff. The slapstick humor part is done right and not overplayed. First episode felt like a movie ( it was an hour long) because of all of the things going on and your glued to your seat to see what happens next. Even with all the humor it also has some great fight scenes and some serious moments also.It Also has a little bit of romance. Animation: Since it is an ova the animation has better quality than if it would have been a regular TV series. I really enjoyed the fight scenes which were done really nice. It does have that 90's animation that I enjoy. Studio Pierrot did the animation they also did the animation for GTO so both anime have similar animation and character designs. The two main characters designs almost made me not want to watch the anime especially Itou's design mostly the hair due which Ill talk about later. It wasn't that the designs were bad it just made them look goofy and hard to take them serious but I believe that's what the original author had in mind. Sound: Probably the weakest part of the anime only due to the fact they did not have an opening song and the ending theme song I didn't really like. Other than that though the background music in scenes matched up perfectly to what was happening during the anime. The Voice Actors were top notch and they really added to the humor of the show. Characters: I certainly believe that good character development is what makes a decent anime turn into a great anime. This is the case with Kyou kara Ore wa, it has great characters and they are developed well through. The first episode does a great job developing the main characters and it even starts developing secondary characters for later on. The main character Mitsuhashi, Takashi wants to be have a bad boy image at his new school so he gets his hair permed and dyed to blonde. He is most known for his dirty fighting techniques but is also very strong. The other MC is Itou, Shinji he also wants a bad boy image before he goes to his new school so he gets his hair spiked to ridiculous lengths. Before watching the anime I thought Itou looked really lame because of the hair but after the watching the first episode he becomes my favorite character(don't judge a book by its cover lol). Itou does not fight dirty he fights straight forward and fair and is also very strong, but fighting fair can get him in trouble sometimes. Even though Itou is my favorite character I relate more to Mitsuhashi because he fights dirty and I also use to fight dirty in middle school and high school that's probably one of the reasons I really liked this anime. There is also a really good supporting cast but I am only going to talk about a certain supporting member his name is Imai and this guy is bat shit crazy and funny. Imai is from a different school than the Main Characters and Imai is the best fighter that school has. Imai is really strong and good looking but also really stupid and sometimes you think the only person that can beat him up is himself. Imai gets himself in some weird and hilarious situations usually due to the MCS themselves. Enjoyment: You know how some people say you have wait for a certain anime to get good for example "just wait till episode 5 that's when it really picks up" this ova is not like that from episode 1 you are hooked and wanting more. This series could of gone 100 episodes and I would have watched every episode, which they could have done since the manga is 30 something volumes. All ten episodes of this ova stay fresh and exciting which is rare for an anime to do. I am definitely going to pick up the manga after this and I suggest the few that are reading this to pick up Kyou kara Ore wa!! Ova. You wont regret it, because its one of the funniest anime I have watched.

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! When i was watching KKOW i realised that i've seen this in my childhood but just the first 3 episodes and i just felt happy to see this, because i never knew the name of the anime and all of a sudden i was watching something that i was looking for a long time and i have to write that you should watch this masterpiece too. Story The story is about two boys that decided to be delinquents because they wanted to change from how they were in the past, at first they didn't liked each other but somehow they end up being friends,they always get in trouble being Mitsuhashi the one who attracts all kind of trouble to their lifes, they will fight school gangs, and they will be recognized by everyone to be the toughest delinquents not only of Nanyou High School but of Chiba. Art & Animation Well the animation is from the 90's but that didn't matter for me, i thought that, that was great back then and i think the same now, but sometimes the drawing looks weird. Sound The music was outstanding, the voice acting was great, the background sound and music was really enjoyable and nostalgic, even tho this doesn't have an OP song, it has a damn funny ED song. Character I've got to point out that i liked a lot the characters, from Mitsuhashi to Nakano, every one was likeable in their own way, and i never feel attachment to many support characters, but with this one you want to see everyone appear, even the bad guys, like Nakano or the twins, i wanted to see more of Riko interacting with Mitsuhashi, for some reason i felt that in the beginning he was interested in her but all of a sudden he doesn't care about her but she still has a crush on him, didn't understand that change but the development of all the characters was outstanding. Enjoyment Since the beginning i was hooked to this anime, you will laugh a lot, you definitely will love the fight scenes, you will love the characters and will want more episodes, i wanted to see more because the ending was unsatisfying for me, but that means i loved it, it was outstanding, you should definitely watch KKOW right away.
