Gun-dou Musashi

Now where to start on this show.

First of all, 10/10 for me, I loved watching this show, even if the subtitles that I used were probably fake.

PLOT- 2/10

This show is basically about a dual-wield gunslinger samurai named Musashi who battles a group of monsters known as the Ayakashi. Well, we call him a samurai because he has a sword, but he never uses it.

ANIMATION- 2/10

To put it lightly, the art was terrible. Some of the sequences that took place outdoors were photos taken of forests, rather than drawn. The animation, was...subpar, with a fight sequence involving a guy shooting a monster while slowly falling ... to the ground from about 20 feet up.

SOUND- 1/10

The voice acting wasn't bad, but what really gave it this score was probably the out-of-sync audio and the infamous opening song, GHOST BUSTERZ by ULTRA BRAiN, is a pure masterpiece featuring someone's screams edited by Windows Movie Maker.

CHARACTER- 2/10

Five episodes and I still have no idea what our heroes are really trying to accomplish, so I can't give an accurate assessment there, but judging from what I can tell from the show, they're just messing around.

ENJOYMENT- 10/10

While this is clearly the worst anime I've ever seen and probably will ever see, it is undeniable that I enjoyed this anime through and through while watching the hilariously ridiculous fight scenes and horrible sound.

OVERALL- 3/10

While this show is riddled with flaws everywhere, it can be safely said that these flaws are what give the show such great entertainment value. If you wish to see some quality Japanese animation, then good luck ever finding it, but if you want to see a new side to what Japan has to offer, then give this show a watch, once you can find someone who has subbed past episode 4 without buying the DVD set.

One thing I've noticed is that there are many different types of bad. There's the "cheesy" bad (see Batman and Robin), the "incompetent" bad (see The Last Airbender), and the "embarrassing" bad. But overall, there are 2 main types of bad: the "true" bad (where something that is bad really does suck), and the "good" bad (where something is bad, but it's so bad that it comes around from the other side and starts to actually be GOOD). If Master of Martial Hearts best represents the "rrue" bad, then Gun-dou Musahshi best represents the "good" bad.

Story - 10/10
The story follows Miyamoto Musashi ... - if Miyamoto Musashi was a whiny shounen protagonist dedicated to winning the heart of a girl, instead of like he's depicted in my current favorite manga, Vagabond. Now, normally I would get irritated because it shares the same name as the badass samurai, but that issue doesn't bother me since they use dart guns. Plus, I can look at it this way: he grew out of his immaturity and into the badass we know him for today.

Art - 5/10
Ignoring the animation errors, the art style is just...mediocre. It's just not a style that really appeals to me. It's just a somewhat...plastic style. The color is alright, but that's about it.

Sound - 10/10
This is where it starts to get hilarious - listen to the opening theme and then tell me that it isn't hilarious. No seriously: "WE'RE GHOST BUSTERS OH OH OH!" How are those lines NOT comedy gold?

Character - 10/10
What character? No really, I don't remember anything about the characters that wasn't hilarious. Oh, Miyamoto is a whiny kid. Other than that, that's all I remember.

Enjoyment - 10/10
This series made me burst out laughing when I first saw it. Watch it for yourself if you want a "so good it's bad" show.

Overall - 10/10
There is one thing I'd like to note: I can only find subs up to episode 4, so you're going to have to watch it raw afterwards...but it won't matter, since this show is funny without the subs.

RIYL: ...I actually don't know what this show is similar to. No, seriously, I have no idea.

How could a anime featuring a badass samurai killing demons with a pistol can be considered bad?, well... everything

But what a surprise that the creator of Lupin created this anime with he actually expecting no human being watching this, it's just throw a bunch of discombobulated Russian roulette-like doodles together assuming that everyone would get an DVD of the series will throw intro a pit of saltwater crocodiles after realizing her worst mistake!, with half the time. Musashi Gundoh doesn't even bother with actual frames that are filled with these awkward loud noises and it's like the animators stopped to lament their life decisions while ... wasting tons of paper, their expressions or character backgrounds don't actually change that feels a special uniquely awful to the series.

With the pacing sounds more like a long and boring tutorial that teaches foreigners how to form Japanese words, the show at least... attempts to capitalize for a more cleaner version of Rurouni Kenshin that is about to convince a real samurai anime.
