…when it comes to a superhero named Bo-BoBo who uses nose hair as a weapon to defeat the forces of the bald enemy!

I like anime, don’t get me wrong, and I’m sure I would get a big kick out of this, but after losing my own war to nose hair, it disturbs me to no end to have that as a weapon to defeat a foe! See the following excerpt from the ever correct Wikipedia that describes the plot for the anime on Cartoon Network titled Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Yes, that is right.

In the year 300X, the entire world is under the tyrannical rule of the Maruhage Empire, and their ruler, Tsuru Tsurulina IV. His malicious Hair Hunt troop, which ranges from basic soldiers to block Commanders, and the insidious Heavenly Kings (Big Four), ruthlessly hair hunts innocent bystanders, leaving the people bald and their villages in ruins. Standing against this evil regime is the heroic, but bizarre, rebel, Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, who fights the Hair Hunt Troop with his powerful Hanage Shinken (Fist of the Nose Hair) as well as the bizarre battle abilities known as Hajike (Wiggin’). Initially joined by the normal teen girl Beauty, the smelly teen warrior Heppokomaru (Gasser) and the similarly bizarre Hajike leader Don Patch (Poppa Rocks), Bo-Bobo is on an exciting, gag-filled quest to deliver his own hairy brand of justice to evildoers everywhere.

The show’s comedy is driven by its insanity and bizarre nature. Although fighting a rebellion against evil forces, none of the heroic characters take their job too seriously (nor do they seem to care for each-other), drawing their power from their spontenaity with a special “Hajike” (dub: Wiggin) style to create attacks that either parody what they are up against or have nothing to do with anything going on. Most of these gags are commented on by the more serious characters (particularly Beauty), breaking the fourth wall both as reaction as well as acting as the voice of the reading audience.
