About Baoh the Visitor

Here is what Baoh the Visitor (Baoh Raihousha) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, sci-fi and shounen anime by Studio Pierrot (1989). The setup: An innocent young man, Ikuroo, has a parasite known as Baoh implanted in his brain by an evil organization, Doress. The parasite makes him nearly immortal and gives him the ability to transform into a really mighty beastie when he's in trouble.

Another thread: Doress intends to use him in some sort of ploy for financial success, world domination, or something along those lines, but when they're transporting him on a train, a young psychic girl. Kasuminome is the mad scientist behind the whole Baoh thing, and he isn't about to let his test subject get away and he has considerable resources (including some superpowered lackeys, as well as a small army) at his disposal.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how Baoh the Visitor looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.1/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. It aired in 1989, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
