The Return Of Hitman Reborn??

after such a fire year in anime in 2023 I wasn't expecting this year to start off with something that's been on my bingo card for literal years as it just seems so Out Of Reach because it's long been finished its manga run and the anime itself was cut short before it could even catch up due to what I'm assuming is DVD and toy sales but apparently this year's the best year of all time already because we're getting a d of Hitman re Jesus sorry I just love this anime let me backpedal and clarify this Dove is only four episodes right now the team over at disco Tech media have put together a fan dis as a test presumably to see if there's enough hype around it to justify doing the full stretch which I hope they get enough motion to do honestly cuz the dub sounds so freaking good but man I'm excited even still so I decided to talk about it a bit and hopefully me gushing about it a bit will inspire some of you to give it a chance cuz honestly I want more of this anime and if we can get a full dub of it that would be incredible but anywh who I want to tell a little story just for a setup here there's actually a point in time where I slowly started to slip away from indulging in anime very on and off back in my transition from middle to high school because honestly at the time not a lot was grabbing me around the same time though things like crunchy roll were getting bigger and slowly going away were the times of the datab bio fan subs and watching everything in 10 freaking Parts on YouTube and the crunchy roll catalog specifically as well as what was more openly available on other sites at the time was massive most importantly though things like multianime openings and amvs were in their like Prime and I was consuming them like crazy and I ran into this one using the song Dive to World which I instantly fell in love with the song of course and I had to look up what anime it was from and of course upon doing just a little bit of research I ran into Kio Hitman Reborn which thankfully was on that new fabled crunchy roll service and this began what I consider the Golden Age of my love for anime now I'm not going to recap every little detail about reborn story arcs because I really want everyone to go and watch it if they haven't ever but to summarize reborn starts off as more of a comedic Slice of Life anime about a boy named sunna AKA no good Suna or loser in some cases who under the guidance of a famous Hitman Reborn he ends up getting into all sorts of situations over time though it slowly becomes a battle shown in similar to say YuYu Haka show or early Dragon Ball no don't get me wrong it's nothing too crazy but what really got me in the Hitman Reborn at first was actually The Slice of Life portions we get to spend an ample amount of time getting to know every character and even getting some setup that as you watch the show it actually just pays off nicely before it even ends but what got me to stick around and what ignited my own flame for this show no pun intended was the death paration flame and the first Big Arc The varia Arc and the elements it introduced to the series now when the anime starts to really ramp up and get into its first major arc we start to lean in heavy on the idea that Suna is the next in line successor of this Mafia group called The vongola but of course to add some tension to this we get a group of individuals led by zanzis called the varia and their main goal goal is to get the right to become the venola what ensues is this battle for these things called the venola Rings this Arc essentially gives us each individual member training and fighting these intense fights to claim their spots within these fights we get more insight on the properties of the different death paration flames and believe it or not this is the part that hooked me I don't know if it has something to do with being a Sagittarius or if I'm just lowkey a pyro Maniac but I've always had this Affinity towards full aim based things and really I blame Hitman Reborn cuz it started here not only did the death paration flame serve multiple purposes within the series outside of combat as we learned down the road but as we see in the very Arc it's the basis for all the powers and abilities in the series and it allowed people to do some of the craziest things and of course young me thought this was cool as hell the Flames themselves all came in different colors each representing different attributes of the sky specifically for the venola at least I think the Highlight for me though was actually the flame type the main character sunna utiliz the sky Flames not only did they look cool but a big part of sunna going into this form with the death partion Flames ignited was the demeanor change CA typically is squirmish and very down the Earth sometimes even easily spooked but when the Flames are out he's calm and collected badass even clearly things that appeal the teenage boys me included during his initial fights we get to see him pull off crazy things and even using his Flames to fly at high speeds and seemingly freeze other flames and redirect the energy to use on his own and I don't man it was just cool to see these kind of things in action cuz usually Flames just burn things but here there's just so many layers to what they could do with them and I don't know how many of youall are into making your own OC's or original characters and whatnot but to this day a big part of all mine have been based around the idea spread throughout the show and even keeping with the fame Motif really that's just the tip of the iceberg though surprisingly even once we get to the more Acy parts of the anime they still find time to have some good comedy mixed in there genuinely there's a lot of moments I remember laughing my ass off at with the entire cast specifically this one little [ __ ] Lambo who growing up I found him annoying but upon rewatches I actually began to love this little cow baby cow baby Cowman uh honestly I don't know what Lambo is but he's half cow and Tiny sometimes but looking at him now he's almost like the silly little brother that I never had and I won't touch on this too much as not to spoil anything but some of the emotional beats of the series really hit home growing up not that they had me over here balling tears or anything but they give you time to really connect with the characters and see them grow and mature often nowadays people either really hate filler and want less or are begging for more filler to develop characters but I feel like there's a happy medium of it here that could satisfy people in most cases there's a lot of content here to enjoy one way or another also this part might be subjective but the main cast is absolutely dripped out not just their Rego outfits either but with the team being an actual Mafia and all they end up dressing the part on later occasions and often pulling up in dress attire weapons in hand on some actual gang [ __ ] coming full circle here though my absolute favorite thing about Hitman Reborn the thing that got me into it in the first place the thing even that I believe even if you don't watch this anime you should give a spin are the openings as a huge anime fan lover even at times absolutely love a good op and in my years of watching I don't think I've seen many anime with ones like Hitman that are as consistent and fitting for each Arc they represent but also they've stuck with me as long as they've did be on the anime's initial run outside of a handful of exceptions here and there within the anime Stratosphere and I'm not talking about anime with only like two openings I'm talking about the ones that go four and Beyond even that to almost 20 openings sometimes very few managed to find the magic through the entire run and in some cases they even find it and stick with the one opening for reborn though coming in at a nicely symmetrical eight openings each one of Hitman reborn's openings hits in its own way I have no idea what the process is for choosing openings but somehow they managed to hit the lottery on their lineup it's honestly hard to pick my favorites cuz I genuinely love every single one but if I had to pick three I listen to a lot as of recent I'd say drawing days the first opening the fourth opening 88 and opening eight the last one listen to the stereo if I had to describe them and how they make me feel drawing days is just pure Nostalgia as I listen to this one it reminds me of simpler times aimless days even as a child looking for my footing in the world and still figure out how to express myself not having much care in the world and having much time to indulge in things I loved it really feels like a Coming of Age opening if that makes sense honestly it's right up there with the likes of days by flow for me the band that performs the song playay honestly killed it and this opening just reeks early 2000s anime Vibes the first opening does this really cool thing too where partway through the first season it actually has a variant version of the opening and we can see this really cool fight Montage between sunna and one of the later introduced characters which let me say uh um I wish that tradition was brought back um anime like Jitsu Kaizen have done it recently but I want to see it come back in full swing because honestly it's like a nice little treat opening for 88 honestly has a very similar feel at first but coupl it along with the visuals and its inevitable drop moment it gives me the sense of growing and Discovery you know real new adventure stuff it properly Feels Like It prepares you for the ark it starts off this might just be me too but the band that performs the song lm. C honestly kind of reminds me of Panic at the Disco but for the Japanese audience they also of course absolutely killed this opening and specifically the middle part the guitar riff where we get to see the little fight Montage in the opening is probably my favorite moment in any anime opening honestly it just kind of hits right it all ends with this awesome buildup at the end where we see sunna just kind of charge up his death paration flames and do a good little spin around and give us a good nice main protagonist pose at the end that tops off the opening it's really cool and listen to the stereo man it just feels like saying goodbye but also embracing a new future filled with hope within context of the series it kind of is I suppose as the last opening for the anime it's honestly quite hard to describe it without tearing up honestly I Remember by the time I personally got to this point in the series I was going through a transitionary period in my own life it just warms my heart listening to it though and sing sunna and the rest of the Bola one more time pulls in my heartstrings the song itself honestly has this kind of swelling effect as the opening builds up and coup it along with the visuals and just all the emotional scenes in it we get this really nice kind of bow on the end of the series going underground the band that made this song honestly just really nailed the triumphant final Harrah feeling that I feel all anime need for their last season honestly and not all anime get that opening or even get to that point really all in all I love this series dearly it'll always hold a special place my heart as one of the ones that got me fully back in the watching anime I pray with this release of The Limited dub we get a full dubbing of the entire series eventually if they get enough Buzz maybe also for those who've never watched it hopefully hearing me Yap about it possibly inspires you to go check it out for yourself and see what the anime is all about who knows maybe even with enough backing behind it they'll actually go ahead and continue the anime and possibly even finish out where it left off all the way to the very end where the manga actually got to for those watching though that have watched Hitman Reborn tell me about your experience with it hearing about this series in 2024 really has a little fire in my heart and I very much plan on talking about the other anime that shaped my taste and even solidified my love for this type of content in the future so if you'd like to see more please let me know and even suggest a new anime for me to watch as I'm constantly looking for stuff to check out for those who have made it this far into the video thanks again for watching and I'll see you guys next time
