Mushibugyo

Type: Manga

Status: Ongoing

Premise: HUGE FREAKING BUGS. Completely the same as normal bugs except that they are the size of buildings, and that due to their size they have begun eating people as part of their diet. Now the government initiates a program of recruitment in order to protect its people,the strongest fighters from around the country are gathered together into a special unit devoted to killing these insanely dangerous pests; Murderers, Nobles, Ninja, Priests, Samurai, anyone able to fight the bugs are given bountiful employment if they join and kill the insects. Jinbee is an excitable young boy with prodigious skill as a swordsman, he is selected to join the Edo defense forces and fight along with other skilled worrier after the last 15 candidates were well .... eaten.

Thoughts: This anime is hilarious mostly due to the antics of Jinbee, he is so uptight and focused that he is ridiculous and ends up causing ludicrous amounts of chaos. This anime is all about the fight scenes and the slapstick comedy, it is light and fun and doesn't take itself seriously.

Prose: Funny, action packed and ridiculous thats what your watching for.

Cons: The plot is slow to develop if its there at all so come for the laughs not the serious heartrending plot.

-Notes: This anime just started so let is steep.

8/10          (Of coarse the pommel is the most deadly part of the sword!)
