First off, this is all my own opinion. But it's shared by most of the people who have seen the show. Also, this is going to be a LONG one.
When I first heard about this anime, it seemed interesting.
When people told me about the story, it seemed amazing.
When people made me listen to the music, it seemed unbelievable.
And let me tell you, it's all that and more.
So it starts of with a baby trying to make a boy into the 10th head of a mafia gang.
...
Now hold your horses and let me finish.
While it may seem boring for the first 24-ish episodes (honestly, even those episodes gave me a good feeling), after that it dives off into a tale so epic, a story so full of amazing and loveable characters, soundtracks that give you the power to punch through a concrete wall, a true masterpiece.
Story -
As I said earlier, it's about a baby trying to make a boy into the 10th head of a mafia gang. Now let me explain this a bit. This ''baby'' is the number 1 hitman in the world, (hard to believe I know, but it's an anime what did you expect) The boy is the perfect example of a shounen protagonist; He's not the smartest, bad at sports and such a big clutz others call him No Good Tsuna. Oh also the usual "I won't let you hurt my friends!'' stuff. However the change he makes is unbelieveable. He turns into such a badass it made me wonder why they could ever call him a good for nothing.
There are plenty of arcs, and to each his own. However, it's not some random filler-like arcs, it's actually making progress throughout the series.
Characters -
There's a load of characters, and they're all amazing in their own way. Some are cool, some are funny, some are just outright badass. I'm sure everyone can relate to at least one character. There are, however, annoying characters. (I'm talking to you Lambo, I-Pin and Haru...) Ah, who am I kidding! Lambo may be a baby in a cow suit, wearing horns on his afro and having an arsenal bigger than Skyrims inventory in it aswell, he's just so loveable. And his transformations are also incredible. (20 years is all I'm going to say) I-pin might also be a baby, but she's a living bomb! A chinese, adorable living bomb! 'Nuff said. And Haru is just... Haru I guess. Can't really say anything good about her except for... uhh... nevermind I don't.
The characters develop really well as the story progresses, working out flaws, becoming stronger and doing whatever they can for what they have to do.
Sound -
Unbelievable. From openings to epic fighting music to sad tracks, this anime has it all. I can't really stress it enough. My personal favourite and most famous is Tsuna Awakens. This soundtrack can give me enough energy after a 40 hour marathon to do it again. I can honestly say I would be able to be on par with Goku while listening to it. It's like an upgraded version of the Rocky theme. While Tsuna Awakens may be the best, don't let that fool you, the others are almost equally as good.
Art -
Since it has ran from 2006 to 2010, it doesn't have the art style of a Madhouse anime. It may not have overly epic visual effects like in Fate/Stay Night UBW 1st and 2nd season. And the backgrounds may not be as astonishing as those from K. But let me tell you, for a 2006 anime, it's still really good. I am a huge critic on art style, but this show was so good, it made me feel like art didn't even matter.
Enjoyment -
Funny scenes, epic scenes, fight scenes, awkward scenes, it's all in one big package of goody goodness. It gives the right kind of mood at the right moment.
If by now you're still not convinced, I can write about 20 pages more about how much I love this show. 203 episodes may seem long to most, but I've seen (and read) it twice and would do so again in a heartbeat. Honestly it doesn't feel like 200+ episodes.
Just watch it, you won't regret it.
