The boondocks - Origins

This show features two black children and their granddad moving to a rich white neighborhood. This anime is based on comics strips created by Aaron McGruder for The Diamondback, the student newspaper at the University of Maryland. Among the comical characters there appears the black man Uncle Ruckus (no relations). He believes himself to be a white man that underwent a Michael Jackson like inverse metamorphosis.





It is cute how it makes fun of such political figures like the new president Obama. Like in reality, comic Obama only speaks and does nothing. He claims that all will be well as long as Americans hear his soothing voice. Ironically,during that speech America was suffering rolling blackout. So no soothing voice to ease the suffering of Huey and Riley and Granddad Freeman.

The battles themselves are quite original (although a large portion of them are copy-paste from the Naruto show) . Some episodes have a deep intrigue and deception. At times this family fights kon fu wolf $#%. My favorite was the continuation of what Huey calls "the Nigga moment". In this episode Stinkmead comes back from hell and posses Du Bois (Huey's lawyer neighbor). He was only vanquished by creating a peaceful harmony. This ,among other interesting episodes, makes it a noteworthy anime show.
