Summary:
Tsuna is a hapless youth with low test scores and lower self esteem. His mother hires a tutor to help Tsuna out, but it comes as a surprise to the both of them when the tutor is a baby named Reborn, claiming to be from the Mafia. Reborn informs Tsuna that he's the next heir to the Vongola family mafia family and tries to help Tsuna reach the goal. Reborn possesses the Dying Will bullet, which kills a person and brings them back to life to fulfill the last regret they had, and even works to get Tsuna some henchmen to make him a true mafia boss-in-training.

second review in a day and animeaccess still ignores reviews.
whatever.
pros
+ looks like a typical shounen but a lot of crazy ideas make it unique (which other anime includes the mafia...?)
+ good character development plus a variety of truly original charas
+ combines fun and highly varied action
cons
- rather shallow (no witty sarcasm, some charas can seem pretty shallow and stupid at times, story has no conclusive finish but instead small holes in the end)
- very slow start and got repetitive here or there later on
- drawing style is nothing to get hyped about
conclusion: nothing to think about, nothing deep in any way --- but good if you want mindless fun and a great variety of action (don't let the thing with the baby home tutor scare you away). however, you need enormous amounts of patience, esp. at the start, and in the end it does get somewhat repetitive again. personally, i think it's fine, and i really was hooked for a while (middle part) but i'm not too hyped about this anymore.
