Anime Like RobiHachi
It gets you with a guy whose life is already in the gutter. Robby Yarge loses the gig, loses the girlfriend, and picks up debt collectors in the same week, then decides the only reasonable response is to run for Isekandar, the planet where every wish supposedly comes true. What follows is a buddy road trip in space with Hatchi, and the joy is entirely in the two of them bickering across pit stops that each get their own art direction, so every planet looks like a different show. Shinji Takamatsu's comic timing does the heavy lifting, and the jokes land at a rhythm most twelve-episode comedies never find. The plot is vanilla and the animation gets choppy when it moves, nobody's pretending otherwise. You stay because by episode nine you'd genuinely be sad if these two idiots stopped traveling together.
SYNOPSIS
Robby Yarge is having the worst run of his life. At thirty, the aspiring freelance writer has just lost his job, his girlfriend, and most of his dignity to a series of spectacular failures. When a street thug steals his bag, a kindhearted teenager named Hatchi Kita steps in to help. Grateful but broke, Robby buys the kid a meal, and the two strike up an unlikely partnership. These polar opposites couldn't be more different. Robby's cynical and perpetually unlucky, while Hatchi radiates genuine optimism despite his rough circumstances. When a chance encounter offers them both a way out of their dead-end situations, they decide to leave Neo Tokyo behind and chase an impossible dream together. What follows is a chaotic cross-galaxy adventure through a universe where humans and aliens coexist, filled with broken-down ships, terrible decisions, and the kind of comedy that only happens when two people have absolutely nothing to lose. It's part buddy comedy, part science fiction romp, with enough heart underneath the chaos to make you believe that even the most spectacularly failed humans can find their way forward.
