This anime have a lot of good things,so this animes get 10.

Ursprünglich näherte ich mich der Serie mit der Überlegung das ich von Zeit zu Zeit auch einmal etwas leichtere Unterhaltung vertragen könnte und ein Anime den man so nebenbei schauen kann auch etwas schönes ist.
Von dieser Warte aus hat mich "King of Bandit Jing" teilweise sehr überrascht, da es einige Epsoden mit angenehm interresanten und innovativen Ideen hatte welche den Geasmamteindruck der Serie anheben, wobei gleichzeitig in der stark schwankenden Qualität auch das größte Manko liegt. Verstärkt wird dieser Eindruck noch von der Hauptstory, oder besser ihrem fehlen. Zwar gibt es anspielungen auf eine teifere Handlung doch wurde viel Potenzial verschenkt indem diese Idee ... nicht weiterverfolgt wurde. So müssen leider sämtliche Folgen als unabhängige Einzelwerke verstanden werde.
Die künstlerische Seite ist von den Zeichnungen her nur durchschnittlich und obwohl die Musik ihre Höhen hat kann auch sie im Gesamteindruck nicht wirklich überzeugen.
Das Characterdesign ist durchwachsen. Die Protagonisten machen im Geamten Verlauf keinerlei Veränderungen durch und Jing ( der Hauptcharacter) bleibt die ganze Serie über immer der unnahbare Coole, während sein Begleiter den liebestollen Schwätzer miemt. Bei den Nebencharacteren schwankt die Qualität, teilweise klischeebeladen teilweise unverhofft interresant.





Fazit

Wer zurzeit nichts besseres zu schauen und einmal Lust auf leichtere Unterhaltung hat kann sich mit "King of Bandit Jing" nicht viel falsch machen. Es ist ein recht amüsanter Kurzweil der meiner Meinung nach viel mehr Potential gehabt hätte, hätte man mehr Sorgfalt in Characterentwicklung und Handlung gelget.

I watched this anime a while ago, but I remember how I felt about it.

--Story: 5--
Was there one? As from wiki "King of Bandits Jing is a series of short, usually disconnected stories starring the young boy who calls himself Jing, the Bandit King. Although Jing's reputation seems to extend throughout the universe of the series, many enemies underestimate him, not expecting the "great" King of Bandits to be a "little kid"."
Quite accurate, a different story each episode. I admit, a few episodes did have a bit of charm to them, and the short romances that Jing experiences in the series were somewhat cute, ... but that's all the series gives. A light story, that allowed the creators to put little thought into the series. It can work, and I've seen it work, but Jing does not pull it off in a way I found satisfactory.

--Art: 6--
Though art, as is most things, is down to the viewers taste, I don't have much complaints about it. It's wasn't great, but I was happy with it. I'll leave it at that.

--Sound: 5--
I found the music, the opening especially, to be very standard. Nothing stuck out all that well to me, and I was happy to skip it while watching. Overall, I don't particularly remember any of the music, nor am I bothered by this.

--Character: 3--
I actually found the characters really boring, Jing was a 'cool' young dude who didn't say much, somewhat carefree even. But nothing original really made me interested in his character. As for that stupid bird that followed him, all I could think of was that annoying parrot from 'Aladdin'. Minor characters that Jing ran into in the series did have a bit of appeal, but again, nothing really interested me or stuck out as original. I didn't even find them to be well done cliche's.

--Enjoyment: 3--
Some episodes entertained me, strangely enough one would be the episode with the Ghost Ship. I have been complaining about cliche's but sometimes they can appeal. A little, anyway.

--Overall: 4--
Each episode left me with a feeling of disappointment, and sometimes confusion. I had no idea where the series was headed, and the 'ending' if you call it that was completely unimpressive. If you want a light-hearted series that doesn't demand much attention, however, then perhaps you should try it out. I'd imagine it may also very suitable for younger viewers, but it's nothing special.
