Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!
Synopsis
What if you moved to a new place to live and all of a sudden you wanted to change your whole image? How would you go about doing it? In Kyou Kara Ore Wa, Mitsuhashi Takashi (main character), starts off first by dyeing his hair gold and Itou Shinji (another main character), starts by spiking up his hair. Both characters, who were enemies at first are now best buds, this OVA is about their life, and their life is very very amusing.
Review
Kyou Kara Ore Wa or can be roughly translated to ‘From This Day On I’ is one of my all time favorite Anime series. It was also one of the first series that sparked my interest in Anime. Anybody that has seen Kyou Kara Ore Wa will definitely notice its’ comedy.
Whether it is Mitsuhashi’s secret spring pow pow puncher located hidden in his self made metal book bag that he uses as weapons or Imai Katsutoshi (a sub character) making a fool out of himself in every episode. The laughter that this series contain are endless, there is a laugh for everyone. I always ask myself, ‘what if an American company licenses this series; it will be awesome.’ Unfortunately, KKO is not very popular. I have only seen one web site dedicated to KKO. Pay a visit here. And I thank that person that putted up the site, because that is where I got the spelling for the character’s names. I watched KKO in Cantonese so the names are difficult to translate for me ^_^;;
The whole OVA is made up of ten episodes and are based on the life of two high school students. There are gang fights, usually two against a whole crew with pipes and blades or just raw humor. Nishimori Hiroyuki’s (creator of KKO) Kyou Kara Ore Wa is definitely a hit that not much people have come to realize yet, when it is recognized… it will be scary.
The Breakdown
Kyou Kara Ore Wa is a hit that fans are waiting for! I hope it will see a U.S. release in the years to come.
