Loved the review. It's nice to see this series being appreciated. Personally though I'm not sure I'd call Oga a sociopath. Sure he has little regard for his fellow man, but sociopaths are more about manipulating people, while with Oga I get more of a "Just leave me alone" vibe.

Actually, I've always wondered, why IS the baby naked all the time? Don't they have a shirt, or something?

He would probably just shock of his clothes if you think about it.

He should at least wear a diaper!

I really love the show, and the review did it justice.

As if. This is anime. Common sense is not applicable. If they really wanted to apply some common sense our protagonist would've been dead since the first shock. Or they could just say that it's made of leather... whatever.

What is hilarious is that both the manga and the anime had an entire chapter/episode about that. Also, it's been mentioned at least 20 plus times in the manga and easily going to be that many in the anime.

I am up to episode seven (presently at this time, that is the current episode) and have read up to chapter 98 and despite the fact it's been mentioned tons of times, there has never been a actual answer.

I am going to guess and say it's just one of the quirks of the show. I don't think it's fanservice or creepy (for the most part, I look away) but might just be there just because. Not the best reason, but I am not the creator, so I am just guessing.

Other than that tiny bit of the series, the rest of the series is awesome. Easily the best show of the season, maybe year. The amount of comedy and action is really what makes this series awesome.

I'm not a big fan of comedy series in general, but I eagerly look forward to Beezlebub every week-- which is weird, because I just happened to watch an episode on Crunchyroll when I was really REALLY bored one night, expecting to hate it. I haven't laughed so hard since the first season of Hetalia. Beel's ever-changing facial expressions are priceless!

Come on a naked baby? That just crosses the line for me. Makes me feel disgusting, other people will think I'm disgusting, and on top of that Anime needs to take a stand against this kind of stuff. It says to the rest of the world: PERV.

And that's not good for buisness or pleasure.

Great show with a wounded leg?

As I said earlier, it's not meant to be perverted or be disgusting. I am with on I wish it wasn't shown, but I just usually look away or am so focused on the show, I don't really notice.

It's otherwise an exceptional show and I can honestly say I enjoyed every second of the show so far. In my opinion, it's easily the best show of the season. The manga is as good as the anime, but since both are exceptional, it's hard to tell which is better.

But whatever, if you don't like the show, that is your business and yours alone. I like it and won't stop just because of one character.
