Bomberman Jetters the Anime is based on the story of White Bomber (the main character in all Bomerman games) and a group of heroes named the Jetters. The Jetters are an elite group formed by Professor Ein to counter the evil ambitions of Bagura and his bandits who try to steal the most rare and unique items in the Universe (don't ask why). The Jetter's leader is Mighty, who is the older brother of White Bomber, but after a fight with Bagura's forces Mighty goes missing and the Jetters lose their leader and become helpless to Bagura's forces. White Bomber then goes to Jetters planet to see his Brother Mighty and Professor Ein. He then finds out Mighty is missing and decides to join the Jetters. Being a novice bomberman, he still has alot to learn, but has the will to work to follow the legacy of his brother. Bomberman meets Bagura's general Mujoe and his forces known as the Higehige bandits and attempts to protect the rare items which these criminals try to steal. The show is very entertaining and extremely humorous. The jokes and comedy in the show are among the most original of any anime or show. For example, White Bomber acts like a child all the time and Shout is always yelling at him, Mujoe is always unprepared and fails, the Higehige bandits are easily distracted, etc. It has a very light side and is suitable for people of all ages. The story of the series is also really detailed and unravels very nicely. It is definately worth watching. The best way to watch it is to download a fansub on the internet, since an english dub is not available, and I doubt it will come out in America though I am always hopeful. This show is great for Bomberman fans as it has humor and expands on the characters from the videogames, but it is just as fun to watch for those interested in a comedy anime.
