Sunday Safe Betearly rating

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Solid across the board without standing out anywhere. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, action fans and animation lovers.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 8 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-14: slapstick violence. Probably too much for younger kids.
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Tsuna, a timid junior high student, is a failure at school, sports, and social life. But everything around Tsuna has been completely changed when a baby called Reborn, who claims to be an Italian hit man from Vongola family shows up! Reborn was sent to groom Tsuna for his future life as a mafia boss of the family!
