Just when I thought there are no good anime this summer season worth chasing, Kateikyo Hitman Reborn! came along...
Truthfully, I did not fall in love with this anime at first. In fact, I was disgusted with the first episode. I mean, what's with the main character suddenly breaking out of his clothes and runs around with only his boxer shorts on? The first few episodes are simply exaggerated, nonsensical and out of this world...enough to make you feel crazy! That is why I never return to this anime unless I have nothing better to watch during dinner time.
HOWEVER, if you manage to survive the first few episodes, congrats! Coz you are on your way to being addicted to this amazing anime! I truly felt the addiction during the Kokuyo Arc...and the rest of the anime just gets better! Comedy aside, one can really see the progression of each character and how they overcome obstacles to become worthy of the Vongola X's family. The strong bond of the family truly shows during the Ring Conflict, where each member fights respective member of the Varia to gain possession of the Vongola Rings.

This is how each member of Tsuna's family look like after the victory of the Ring Conflict.
The best part of the story so far is definitely the Future Arc! Coz that is when I see how each member of the family look like ten years later!!! The general comment from those who followed this anime is that the Future Arc is more violent because all of the characters have powered up and gain new abilities. Some even say the Future Arc sends chills down their spine but for me, I am totally lovin' how the story is becoming more and more serious. If you don't get what I mean, think Harry Potter series.
And now for my favourite character in this anime! Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato come close, but Hibari Kyouya is still the best!

Hibari is the leader of the Discipline Committee of Prefects, who all are delinquents loyal to Hibari. Like his subordinates, he too is a violent delinquent who uses his status to harass other students. However, he prefers to be alone and cares little for his subordinates. His catchphrase is "I'll bite you to death" (kamikorosu), which he says to everyone who he is ready to fight. Hibari is very proud of his school, and is apparently the only person who likes their school's anthem, even using it as his ring tone.

Say hi to Hibari's bird, conveniently shortened to Hibird by Reborn!
