Note: It has been a year since Ive last seen Reborn but Ill do my best bare with me. Its also my first review so Ill try my best. I will also try to make this review to be without spoilers or little to none. Ill start off with this Im a big Reborn fan I truly love this anime with all my heart. Its one of the first anime to start off with and yet I still love it. You can say this review is a bit more biased because of that but to me Reborn is an anime that will be on my top and will always be. I am currently writing this review in 2020 almost a whole decade since Reborn has ended I truly hope you find this review helpful. Now lets talk about the soundtrack I believe Reborn has some of the best openings and osts. Im also writing this review as Im listening to the ops on a loop. Even after rewatching it last year I still think Reborn has some of the greatest osts out there I thought it brought so much more emphasis into the fights. Also another thing to include is the visuals for the op we cannot forget about that my all time favorite is Op 1 Version 2 but I do have to say Op 4 is quite a close contender. The endings are great too although I used to skip eds I now listen to them and I do have to say that the eds arent as good as the ops. However some are still great in my opinion and not to mention that I can listen to the soundtracks for hours and hours without getting bored of it. Reborn has such unique characters to the show and how they develop is great. Tsuna before meeting Reborn was called No Good Tsuna for being bad at almost everything but as we go on to the series Tsuna still has his lighthearted personality. However we see in the anime he has a sort of seriousness to him he knows when the situation is dire and will focus on protecting the people he cares about. Gokudera at first he was a character that hated Tsuna I believe it was because of him being the future boss of the Vongola and how spineless he was. Gokudera at first tries to kill him but he sees his wrongdoing and instead decides to follow Tsuna. Calling himself his Right Hand Man. I introduce Yamamoto in the anime he is introduced as a light hearted person with a fun personality that follows along Tsuna to have fun. Later we get to see Yamamoto more serious in later arcs he tries his best to train his capabilities perfecting his style of fighting. Ryohei Sasegawa the older brother of Tsunas love interest Kyoko Sasegawa. His signature line TO THE EXTRME is a favorite of mine in this series. Hes introduced as a guy that tries to recruit Tsuna to the Boxing Club after he goes Dying Will Mode. but Tsuna rejects him. We later see that Ryohei is a caring person that loves his sister and wishes to protect her from danger. We also see in him that he is much more serious and more cautious in another arc. Hibari The Strongest Vongola Guardian were introduced to him in the Daily Life arc where he has a disciplinary committee that he runs. Hibaris character is someone that cares about the people around him but he doesnt show it as much. We see that he really enjoys fighting strong opponents and likes to use his signature line to threaten people Illl bite you to death. Lambo as a character is just there for comedic relief most of the time his resolve changes over time but at first most see Lambo has an annoying character. The story is also very unique considering a professional hitman comes to suddenly tutor a useless middle schooler that goes by the name Tsunayoshi Sawada. We get to see Reborn tutor Tsuna whether it be over school or in fighting. We get to see the dynamic between Tsuna and Reborn over the series even the ending of the manga shows how theyve grown. Tsunas dynamic with his family aka friends shows a light mood but as we go on to the series its changed into a serious mood where they fight with their life on the line or something important to them. All the arcs from Reborn bring enjoyment to you whether it be the Daily Life arc Kokuyo arc Varia arc and the Future arc theyre all unique in their own ways. It brings such that Reborn doesnt get tiring with how unique the story is and bringing in a fresh concept for each arc instead of reusing things. The art for Reborn isnt the greatest but it isnt bad. However once you bring animation to the story Reborn for its time has some great animation for its fights. To me the animation doesnt feel stale or jagged it just improves or stay the same. How they animate the Xburner and the Dying Will Zero Point Breakthrough is quite amazing. The enjoyment I felt from Reborn was just a 10/10 some scenes are breathtaking. To me it was a show that was perfect with little to no flaws. From how characters develop to the conflict of the story is just amazing in my opinion. Writing this review in August of 2020 I may rewatch Reborn for my second time when I have summer vacation but just go watch it. Its such a great show.
