ぶっちぎり?!
Minato Kai and Siguma Squad, two rival gangs at Ichizu High School, are embroiled in a bitter power struggle. As a transfer student, Arajin Tomoshibi has no interest in getting involved; instead, his priority is finding a girlfriend. Fortunately for him, he is placed next to Mahoro Jin, the prettiest girl in the class who also seems to like him. However, she has an overprotective older brother, Marito—none other than the combative leader of Siguma Squad. Moreover, Arajin's reunion with his childhood friend, Matakara Asamine, spells trouble since Matakara is a member of Minato Kai. With his rotten luck, Arajin also accidentally awakens the genie Senya, known as a Honki Person from ancient legends. Senya takes a shine to him because of the young man's fervent aspiration—despite it only being the loss of his virginity. While Arajin would be the first to flee from a fight, Senya lending him his powers helps the lovesick boy to hold his own against the likes of Marito, although this only raises the interest of both gangs in recruiting him. As the turf wars heat up when a third gang joins the fray, Arajin's involvement may be unavoidable. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I can't believe how low the ratings for this are. Sure, there a lot of dumb aspects to this. A lot of the plot, the MC being such a simp in its most stupid way, the importance given to a lot of things are ridiculous. But that adds up to the charm of the show. It brilliantly fuses these things that are dumb at first sight into a very compelling show to a very satisfying ending too. The animation is also one of the best of the season. This style is so much better than a lot of others even big budget ones recently. Themusic, the comedy, everything worked greatly even with its designed flaws. This was such a great time.

The MC is terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen. The show, for some reason, is incredible dedicated to making him the most unlikable MC possible; it really is astounding. The rest of the side cast is decent enough, nothing too offensive, except for the really annoying bro-con love interest the MC is crushing on. Extremely baffling choice to have the MC simp over someone that is literally more interested in her brother and pays the MC no intention, even up until the end of the show. There's moments where the love interest even recognizes how easy it is to manipulate our shitty MC. It'sa Mappa show so it's worth watching for the animation, but be ready to grit your teeth thru all the awful MC interactions. The show shares series creator with Sk8 the infinity so the character designs are really fun and colorful. The studio being Mappa and the character designs are the main things that drew me to the show. Animation is a 10 but MC and the writing actually brings it down to a 4, it's that bad.

Bucchigiri is a classic example of starting strong but ending poorly. Ep.1 was the most exciting - the rich and exotic artistic style, the Aladdin reference with a new twist, the lively action sequences...they all led me to believe that Bucchigiri would be an imaginative anime. More questions arose as the story progressed, and none of them were resolved even reaching the very final episode. What exactly is a "Honkibito" and why Matakara wanted to become one so badly? What was the deal with Senya and Yichiya and why did they hae to settle this through possessing high schoolers? Why was Matakara so fixated on Arajin?What was the use of the subplot involving Cat Café and Miss Jasmine? Moreover, this anime unquestionably failed in character development. The MC, Arajin, was such a simp and hardly outgrew himself; in the first 10 episodes, all of his actions were motivated by a desire for Mahoro's attention (or "losing his virginity", as he would proudly shout before every battle). Amidst the repeated fights among furyō (delinquent) groups, there was no opportunity for him to grow, making the Arajin in the final episode totally out of character. As for the other characters, I can only say that they each have their own craziness; the creators didn't seem to bother treating them as real "characters" with stories and motivations, but rather as a collection of symbols. Frankly I find it more annoying than some simply clichéd plot.

A good start, the aesthetics are incredible, it looks like Tokyo Arabic or something similar, but... the middle is so confusing that I don't understand the basics of the plot. What is... The Stone, The Fighters!?, The Gangans!? and most importantly....WHAT THE HELL IS A HONKI PERSON????? Another thing I have to talk about is the protagonist, this anime had a certain potential about fighting criminals but the protagonist really ruined the anime with this personality, HE MAKES TAKEMICHI LOOK LIKE THORFINN!!! I can't put into words how bad he is, the only one who saves is MATAKARA but he is isolated in the plot.... NOTE: 3,5

This anime doesn't really deserve these scores I think. I assume most of the low scoring comes from people who quit the show early due the the annoying mc. But for me, considering the current situation of industry where most anime are formula based, all same character designs, copy paste animations, etc., this show offers a nostalgic authenticity in terms of characters, graphics, sound and animations. I really enjoyed the art and art direction, a creative and quality production in summary. The story is not that of a masterpiece, but still a worth watch for a short anime. (I'll definitely watch if it continues, though).If you like bromance themes, delinquent boys fighting good, with a sense of humor and male body fan service, (which I did like), give it a chance and just bare with the mc. First of all it is THE point, but also there is something called character development, you know.
