I'm not head-over-heals obsessed with anime, by a LONG shot, like a lot of people are... but I do enjoy it sometimes. There are a select few series I enjoy, which I own, this being one of them.
It's one of the more obscure anime series. Basically, it's about this teenage bandit named Jing who travels the world in search of exotic treasures and adventure, along with Kir (pronounced Keer), his best friend/partner who happens to be an albatross... though he looks more like a crow. (Kir is obsessed with women, oddly enough.) Him and Kir are a couple of smooth opperators, always on the run from one adventure to the next, always escaping danger, and never getting caught. Jing is the legendary and infamous 'Bandit King' who, as the rumor goes, is so known for his skill and wit that he could "steal the stars from the sky." But nobody ever believes that this mere kid is the famous Bandit King, until near the end of each ep.
(The odd thing about Kir, which is never explained, is that he is also Jing's weapon. He will attach his talons onto Jing's arm, spread his wings, open his mouth, and blast deadly blows from his beak. It his famous "Kir Royale" attack, which Jing always shouts before letting loose an attack.)
Just for the heck of it, I will link the first ep from YouTube, so you can see it. Because it's a really enjoyable show, and I urge you to check it out even if you are not keen into anime. (The series lasted only 13 eps, and is based on the brief manga series, which I need to collect.)
Btw, the song... man, that opening song, "Shout It Loud", alone is worth checking this show out!! (Actually, something I'd like to do- purely for fun- is to make a video with the opening song playing the background, with various clips from Victor and Hugo, Bunglers In Crime... once I get my eps from Gaston. Just for fun and silly purposes, like I said, lol.)
Appolgies if the links are too long, Stace.
