Buso Renkin is in a sense Fullmetal Alchemist without a main character who has a nepolian complex. Taking place in a world where Alchemy was successful but at the same time immortality and turning bread to gold was a failure.
Story
I think the story was actually very orginal for a Shonen series, while not the first Shonen manga to use Alchemy as a theme, it does give it a sense of orginality for the plot device the Kakugane.
Art
The artwork is very good when designing the characters, effects, and enemies. Some of the background is also detailed to show where the
...
character is located, also, the wide range of designing the weaponry and facial expressions is well par with how an artist should be able to draw.
Character
The main pull into the series is the wide varity of characters with coloful personalities. Each Alchemy Warrior and Humonculi has a personality that sets them apart from the others rather they are good, evil, or netural. It can also balance out the setting by showing how the characters coop with regular day bases and when there's a huge brawl in one setting.
Enjoyment
Buso Renkin is more of an Action/Comedy, something that many manga/anime can combine into a great work. With colorful characters, well detailed backgrounds, and orginal idea that seems to make Alchemy seem more like a Battlefield in certain fields and fights. However, there are minor times when the fights feel too short but does have that Jojo Feel when in the end, a character was successful outsmarts the enemy.
Overall
I would highly recommand Buso Renkin to anyone intrested in Action and Comedy. Its also good if you wish to see a main character who can be determined and at the same time very humerous when not fighting whose friends and enemies can be related too in some aspect.
