Bucchigiri?!

6.70 is crazy for such a good show. And it ain't even justified. Lemme explain
Bucchigiri is a great short fighting anime inspired by middle eastern culture, about regret, friendship and loneliness (as surprising as it may sound given the first episode).

Story : 7.25/10
Story is quite fine. Of course there are flaws I'm going to talk about, but it's overall a quite solid story.
The reason why people hated this show and rated it 6 or even 5 (which is horrendously low) is only because the ... MC is flawed. Yes you heard me right, there's quite a lot of m**** out here hating on the show just because the MC dares to be human and have flaws. A MC being flawed, until the opposite is proven, doesn't make a manga bad tho. I've seen mangas about literal criminals (Mushoku Tensei and Shamo) and yet they're finely written so the MC being a simp just ain't a valid argument to call the show trash.
The worst part in this is that all of this is justified if you follow the whole story without the attention span of a tiktok m****.
There's a reason behind all of the MC's arguable actions, there's a reason why he ghosts his best friend to simp on a hoe, there's a reason why his best friend nevertheless stays super attached to him. The story overall is completely coherent whether you like it or not. That's an objective fact, and if you don't believe me just check my post in the ''horrible mc'' discussion of the forum (spoiling the show)

It's also (but not only) quite funny, I loved a love of its comedic aspects, even the MC simping on a b*** that ain't even giving a s**t about him or Arajin's mom (especially his mom cause damn shes so hot cute and funny😭😭😭). However don't listen to these sanctimonious ahh ni**** down there in the comments, Mahoro, the MC's love interest is fantastic. She's a perfect mix of being absolutely horrible, cute and funny in the same time. Needless to say, most people hate her since most people don't like imperfect characters. In my opinion that just says more about them but ok

However there's one major flaw to the story, and it is that as weird as it sounds, the final part lacks an episode.
I mean there ain't literally a huge a** plot hole I'm not saying this, but I rather mean that what the conclusion lacks is an additionnal episode before the very last fight in order to flesh out Matakara and Arajin's past more (same for Sen'ya and his homie), since even though we get to know about their past, it just didn't feel "meaty" enough.
Like, I know they've done a good job at suggesting and telling you things without necessarily having to show them right in your face like a baby.. but I still think they could've done more. Because adding more content, details and screentime to these flashbacks would've been a perfect way to solidify the themes of the show, and make the characters even more touching and likeable. So in the state the scenario ended up being, it totally works in theory, but in practice, development feels dry as f***.
This still can be resolved with an additional OVA, even though that'd be no different than a day one patch for a video game. However, given Mappa CEO's greed I highly doubt they'd dare to add another single episode, even thought that could be benificial for the show.

This is why it is a quite good story, but not an exceptional one. Which I regret because it really wasn't that far away from excellence.
Nonetheless, that's still a great story about flawed, likeable and human characters. .

Visual : 9/10
Art direction looks insane straight up and give to the show an arabian looking aesthetic through the chara design and backgrounds, making it objectively stand out among the anime market since there's almost no other show going for this kind of art direction, with the sole exception of Magi. Needless to say, animation is globally top notch for the entirety of the show making each fight a pleasure to watch

Musics : 7.5/10
Music in the anime industry are most of the time the result of professionals' work. So even by staying the less subjective possible about it, it's very hard to find an anime with objectively bad music (by ''objectively'' I mean technical or purely theoric points regarding music theory, arrangement or production). So that being said, what makes an anime's soundtrack better than another isn't the technical aspect of it but rather its individuality. And I think that on that point, Bucchigiri does a fine job, since there's a handful of soundtracks you couldn't mistake for another anime. But that's not the case for the majority of the soundtrack like with Bleach's soundtrack or even Hunter x Hunter for example. Hence my 7.5, I only give 8 or more to literally exceptional soundtracks.

So overall, even though rating an anime is quite complicated.. Bucchigiri is a 7.65/10. Not a masterpiece, but close to one. What's sure anyway is that it deserves everyone's chance because it's not only great, but also super interesting aesthetically speaking.
(I gave it 10/10 on my account but don't mind that, it's just a desperate attempt in balancing out the horrible rating)

To the next mod reading this, if you still ain't happy don't delete it again. Just tell me in DM if you want me to edit this one more f*****g time. I'd even make it fit the Youtube Kids standard to not shock any baby reading this if you'd ask me so

The MC is terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen. The show, for some reason, is incredible dedicated to making him the most unlikable MC possible; it really is astounding. The rest of the side cast is decent enough, nothing too offensive, except for the really annoying bro-con love interest the MC is crushing on. Extremely baffling choice to have the MC simp over someone that is literally more interested in her brother and pays the MC no intention, even up until the end of the show. There's moments where the love interest even recognizes how easy it is to manipulate our shitty MC.
It's ... a Mappa show so it's worth watching for the animation, but be ready to grit your teeth thru all the awful MC interactions. The show shares series creator with Sk8 the infinity so the character designs are really fun and colorful. The studio being Mappa and the character designs are the main things that drew me to the show.
Animation is a 10 but MC and the writing actually brings it down to a 4, it's that bad.

A good start, the aesthetics are incredible, it looks like Tokyo Arabic or something similar, but... the middle is so confusing that I don't understand the basics of the plot. What is... The Stone, The Fighters!?, The Gangans!? and most importantly....WHAT THE HELL IS A HONKI PERSON?????
Another thing I have to talk about is the protagonist, this anime had a certain potential about fighting criminals but the protagonist really ruined the anime with this personality, HE MAKES TAKEMICHI LOOK LIKE THORFINN!!! I can't put into words how bad he is, the only one who saves is MATAKARA but he is isolated in the plot....
NOTE: 3,5
