About BUCCHIGIRI?!
Arajin Tomoshibi runs into his old buddy Matakara Asamine, and their reunion is anything but quiet. A brutal scuffle in town pulls them into a frenzy with the toughest fighters around. Then a colossal genie crashes the scene, turning the night into something else entirely. What follows mixes street wise bravado with bursts of magic, as the pair scramble to handle unexpected powers, stranger allies, and escalating threats. The tone leans into quick quips and over the top action, pairing high energy fights with fantastical humor. The show also stamps a sincere feel for friendship as two pals face odds together, with brisk pacing and bold visuals driving the jokes. Think slick urban chaos meeting otherworldly wonder.
Released in 2024 as an animated series created by Hiroko Utsumi and Taku Kishimoto. It appears to be an original concept rather than an adaptation, with a dynamic voice cast led by Genki Okawa, Masafumi Kobatake and Anna Nagase voicing key roles. The production blends kinetic animation and punchy fight choreography to match the rapid pace.
Early audience feedback puts Bucchigiri?! at 7.5 out of 10 from 32 votes, signaling solid initial interest. The show explores friendship under pressure as two pals confront street level danger while magical forces intrude. It mixes humor with flashy action and sci fi ideas to ask who controls power. The humor stays breezy without straying from stakes, and the visuals emphasize fast patrols, neon city nights, and magical bursts that contrast grounded grit with otherworldly color.
Box office data is not applicable to Bucchigiri as a TV series, with no theatrical release and therefore no worldwide gross to report. Television releases rely on streaming metrics and viewer engagement rather than box office numbers.
No major awards have been announced for Bucchigiri to date. As a 2024 release, it has yet to become a staple on awards radar, though viewers and critics who enjoy its brisk pace and comic take on magic may keep an eye on future seasons.
