Haha, Dr. Shamal is so persistent.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

Average at best. I hope there aren't too many more like this before it gets 'serious'

Stop bitching about the beginning of the anime in every episode post please, we get it.

If you really care so much, just skip to episode 19. That episode has some fluffy canon but also is the first preliminary episode to an amazing turn of events that got me hooked on this anime. I don't recommend it though. I didn't skip through the episodes even though at times I was honestly pissed at what the animators were thinking (fucking lambo gets old, etc etc.) Before long, I promise you, you will be begging to spend more time with this anime and the evolving characters and the twisty plot that, once you think you've gotten good enough to predict it, throws you to another loop you would have -never- expected.

I hated the beginning as well, while sometimes I would actually laugh at some of the silly shit, which is unusual for me, I hated Lambo and the "girl" scenes were absolutely dreadful. If you stick through it, you'll love this anime. It took me a week to get through 20 episodes but you'll come to realize that it's very worth it. After dreadging through the first week (It wasn't all that bad, but in comparison to the rest of the anime.. it's terrible) I quickly ended up watching the rest, catching any moment I could between work, school, and partying to watch and I still can't get enough. I watched the entire series this week (I'm about to enter the anime only arc after "choice")

Protips:
don't look up spoilers, don't read posts of episodes you haven't seen yet, etc. etc.

You'll like this, promise. It's a gem I wish I'd discovered earlier.

Also, if you look around on the reborn wiki you'll see some story arcs that are mentioned as fillers.. Typically I NEVER watch fillers but these aren't typical fillers, and I believe the creator even mentioned one of them as Canon so far. It's good stuff, through and through.. Don't skip it! :]

Some times i wonder if these episodes are related to the manga lol. They seem so fillerish to me, but i guess its all part of Tsuna's training.

Although the episodes do keep getting more hilarious so at least that accounts for something. Shamal is one funny character, that skull disease is very strange.

Tsuna buying Lambo takoyaki was so cute. Gokudera getting stomachaches because of his sister doesn't get old lol. I love him.
That doctor is such a frickin dick. No doctor abandons a life they can save. Even if it's supposed to be comedic. That's fucked up :-(

Probably the best episode so far because it did actually have me laughing.

Dr. Sanji Shamal is pretty hilarious...lmao at him having 666 incurable diseases, and the fact that he kills people with diseases he already has XD

Haru is growing on me too- like, wtf was she doing with a hula hoop in the middle of the street???

So much complaining about the fluffy non-nonsensical beginning episodes. The animators are just staying true to the actual manga story. There are a whole SEVEN volumes completely dedicated to the Daily Life arc with all of the silly parody stuff before Amino Akira switches genres and starts taking the story line more seriously.
Please, just skip ahead to the action episodes if it bothers you that much!
