I usually avoid watching OVAs and anime movies since I mostly get bored fast and lose interest halfway.
But with Karate Bu, it was a different story.
I gave it a shot at first since I'm a huge fan of old school anime, and boy I'm thrilled I did that.
This show is full of manliness, and even if you didn't like martial arts you have to give it a shot.
The theme is about a high school karate club ruled by the great head of Osaka, Takagi.
He is different from your normal main characters, I think he's more like Takamura from Hajime no ippo.
The story is mostly narrated ... by one member of the karate club named Matsushita, but I think Takagi is the main hero of the story.
These series of OVA tells the story of the Osaka's pride of its renowned karate club, which lead to numerous challenges by other schools and gangs from different prefectures.
The story is very compact, and the characters all are original and very interseting
I really enjoyed this until the end, and it's really a rare thing to say about an OVA.

This is a hidden Seinen gem.
It's one of those series that stuns you with an incredible balance between drama and ambitions, and it feels deeply rooted and natural, just what you want from a Senien show.
Kintaro is as good as a main character could get. It's incredible to watch how his aura and ideals affect all other characters around him, and how that affects his life and career in Yamato construction in the most unpredictable ways.
The plot is unfortunately only 20 episodes long, but it's very well written and all episodes are connected nicely. You're gonna love all the original characters Kintaro meets along his ... rocky career.
If you're a classics guy, and appreciate courage and manly tears, you don't want to miss on this.

In Anime, there exists a few great works that structured the road and pioneered the way for those who came after them. Lupin the 3rd is one of those works.

Starting the grandson of the first Lupin, Lupin the 3rd. Known all around the world for his thieving skills, charismatic personality, and monkey face.
His gang of The marksman Gigen, the samurai Goemon, and the charming cat-thief Fujiko all link together for what to be a humorous set of adventures.
The plot mostly consist of single-case episodes. Familiar faces pops-up every once a while, like Detective Zenigata, whose sole purpose in life is see Lupin behind bars.
The series ... will take you into a world-tour journey as the great Lupin's adventures know no bounds!
so you won't get bored of the same stages every episode.
but you might get bored of its the simple nature, as the show itself is considered primitive, and you will find yourself laughing sometimes on things that were not made for that! (lazy drawings, goofy sounds)
The staff behind the show like the animators and producers didn't really make a good impression, but you will love the classic voice actors who've done a great job with their characters.
So basically, if you didn't like the characters, then you better off not wasting your time on 100+ eps anime with no serious plot.
but if you do , then you will have your fare share of fun adventures and comical situations.
I can finally describe this series as being very simple, yet very fun!
The red-jacket Lupin is the best amongst the 3 Lupin TV series! and it made it possible for all the movies the came after it, much to the joy of the fans!

This franchise has carved its mark on anime history, and it's on of those fine classics that any anime fan might want to check out

This anime is a comedy gem, that's all there is to it.
The story centers around a freshman high scholar looking to make friendships, and then he meets the main character Masaru, the sexy commando club leader, and it all starts from there.
Masaru is hilarious, has very peculiar personality and no common sense. He is the main attraction in the story, and the center of all weird situations in the school. He will make you laugh in many ways you're not used to. The art and sound aren't anything special , but the fun and laughs you will get out of every episode is something you ... can't argue about. This type of comedy is indeed a fine art nobody payed much attention to, and it's more than enough to make it rank amongst the top anime comedies ever made.
10/10

First of all, it really will help if you got previous Lupin experience before watching the show, as it is more fun for the long-time series fans with passion and desire for more of the Lupin franchise.
The story is set prior to the gang getting to know each other, but you will get your usual share of thrilling robbery adventures starting the great Lupin the 3rd. Jigen and Goemon arrive to the picture as they complement each other to get the job done as always. surprisingly, Fujiko, the only female in the gang, takes center stage in this series, which is not a bad thing ... at all.
Her feminine charm has always been of the main themes of the Lupin's franchise, and being able to get more of her is an opportunity never to be missed.
It should be noted however that this show is intended for mature audience, and the staff behind this really worked hard to make this series attain a high ranking amongst the long birght history of this franchise's works.
It was both strange and fun experiencing a much complex plot in a Lupin story, and the art was beyond great. It added a darker yet charming tone to the series.
Let's hope this isn't the last we get to see of this great legacy.

This anime is as genuine as it could get when it comes to animation modulation of football world.
It really provided a realistic image of the professional football and tackled every aspect in sports from players, coaching staff, management, and fans with absolute purity.
Tatsumi is a very interesting character with a unique personality and a strange sense of humor and work ethics. You will not get bored easily as every team ETU encounters add up many different yet very entertaining characters. The challenges rookie coach Tatsumi and ETU have to overcome just to survive in the top-flight Jleague just adds-up to the intensity of the ... show.
The pace of the series and the gap between every match is well-calculated, and
I really liked the idea of having the foreign head-coaches and players speak their native tongue. It added a touch of creativity to the work.
Giant Killing is definitely a must-watch for any sport fan, and besides Hajime no Ippo, there isn't and there won't be many sports anime that could match this high quality of a work.
