Honestly, I was doubtful at first when I read the description for this anime. I heard really good things about it, however, I never gave it a try due to the gifs I saw of it. I thought the anime was going to be too much of a comedy and would have no serious aspects to it, but boy was I wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed the amount of comedy that was in Barakamon. Upon watching the first episode, I pulled an all-nighter just to finish it. I was addicted. Of course, my body regretted my decision once I hit my third class period in school, but I was internally thrilled about how good it was. From this experience a couple weeks ago, I learned to never judge a book by its cover, or an anime in this case. Yes, I know that line is overused, but it simply fit.
Moving forward, what I enjoyed most about this anime was the motivational words that appeared from time to time and the neat little sayings the characters stated. I decided that I should share those inspiring words and rather…entertaining quotes that peeked my interest, with others who lurk under the anime tags.

Which one of these quotes was your favorite? Or if I did not include your favorite, feel free to let me know what it is in the comments. Thanks for reading!
Great quotes.
Your post reminded me to watch the show, I never really finished it.
I really really loved Barakamon. It’s definitely one of my top 10 favorites.
“If we continue on the same path, we are likely to meet again.” is the quote that caught my eye. I haven’t seen the show, so I really can’t say much about the significance of the quote in Barakamon, but I guess I just really liked the simplicity of the quote. I felt like I see people all the time in my day-to-day commutes that I’d like to see again. It sounds silly, since I suppose I took it literally, but that’s just my two-cents. I feel like what I just typed doesn’t make sense, but I just figured I would share my thoughts on it. 🙂
Anyways, thanks for the dope post! I guess I will have to add Barakamon to my ever increasing list of anime to watch.
The one that I liked the most. “Go ahead and wait for me for a little while longer, I will catch up soon enough riding on the wind” Even I got goosebumps when he said that. Handa Seisshu
Come here kitties!
