What this does do well is its action scenes. We never know why he took on being a masked hitman or the reason behind his god awful haircut.

Banba himself is never fully explored, thereвЂ™s a hint at history with an ex-girlfriend and thatвЂ™s it. For example thereвЂ™s the unlucky dude who is literally just there for laughs вЂ“ absolutely not character development besides a 2 sentence backstory.

By the end of the series I knew 3 characters names, and a few I just referred to by their character tropes. Like many anime with 12 episodes, itвЂ™s really hard to connect with the large cast of characters. I could easily have seen those 3 episodes extended to be about 6, and cut out the second вЂplotвЂ™ and merged plots 1 and 3 together, to make the entire series focused on Lin Xianming rather than randomly jumping to mushroom head in the middle of the series. Which can make it a little disappointing once you get to the end. The rest of the 9 episodes are still quite good, but the series never regains the stand out quality of those first 3 episodes. I was instantly hooked, and invested in the characters particularly Lin Xianming. The series starts off incredibly strong with the first 3 episodes.

It was praised pretty highly by other ani-bloggers, so I decided it was high time for me to give it a chance! Based on a light novel of the same name, the series has 12 episodes and aired during this yearвЂ™s winter season.

The stars of the series are dynamic duo Lin Xianming and Banba Zenji, with Banba a mysterious yet comforting figure and Lin haunted by past demons. The area is where the underworld comes to life with drugs, prostitution and hitman abound.В Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens follows such a group of misfits as they try to make a living in a near unliveable world. The Hakata ward in Fukuoka may not be at the top of your travel destination list.
