Bubuki Buranki - Season 1

At first, I was lost in BBK/BRNK, even though it turned out that I guessed correctly from the first episode and that this is definitely not a big deal. The explanation of the concepts and the outline of the narrative does not feel as captivating as it first seemed, and what could have been the Japanese Transformers becomes just another show about young kids fighting against society, with the fact that they are not so believable. The characters are extremely unpleasant, and I did not get on with any of them. The main male protagonist is once again a pussy and even though he tries, I just did not buy it, especially during the fight sequence. When they were going at each other, I was incredibly bored. In the end, I leaned more to the dark side and rooted for Reoko, though I do not really know why. Perhaps mostly because she was the only one with at least a somewhat interesting personality. The conclusion was not as thrilling as I expected it to be, either, and a few things are still gnawing at me. All in all, this was a below-average anime series. 3/10. (11/01/2016)
