When I first started watching Reborn! The anime looked liked any other apart from a baby infant carrying a gun, WEARING A SUIT not a diaper'. But you understand that soon, the main protagonist is absolutely nuts when he gets serious. What was the author thinking? Without that aspect he's just a wimp and a No gooder.
Because of this I put the anime on hold for a while, but wondered a 203 episode anime couldn't be so shit. So I carried it on and what do you know, upon reaching the first arc everything changed it totally met my expectations. The story includes lots of cliffhangers making you want to watch the next episode as fast as you can. This feeling doesn't die down until you've seen what's going to happen next.
So after sifting through all the episodes I ended up watching the next 189 episodes all in one go. It was definitely worth my time

Likes:
- A unique story, something different that hasn't been created yet.
Brings a new light on shounen manga as its mainly aimed at boys because even as a girl it was very enjoyable and suited my tastes.
- Interesting characters with development throughout the story. Various characters are introduced and some are then involved in the further arcs which is good.
- Multiple battles with action, not to mention the result of the battles are satisfying.
- The flow of the story as the characters moved from one predicament to another.
Even though there are fillers in between they have relevance to the upcoming arcs. Which I cant argue about but it could do with a change to the story. All action animes have some of these moments in them to not bore us out.
- A range of genres adapted into the story to make it more entertaining and not too serious for it to be hardcore. A nice mix.

Dislikes
- Too many fillers
- I think there was a slow start to the story because it wasn't serious enough to be proper action(in my opinion) and it started to get boring towards the beginning. Which could easily make you halt the series.
As well as the first 14 episodes not having any particular purpose other than background information on the protagonists.

Overall I'm giving this series a 9 mainly because of the beginning because so many people could miss out on such an exciting anime.
If your looking for a thrilling, action, comedy, a bit futuristic anime. Try it out, it might become your #1.
