I enjoyed the OVA a lot. Its great to be watching Kenichi again. Now as for the VAs I had no problems with them, although i will say that im not as familiar with japanese VAs. I think it was a great idea to make the OVA a filler. To kind of test voices out and get an idea of the audiences feedback, so they don't mess up any of the actual canon.

I don't know why people are complaining about Rei being Miu's new voice, yeah its a surprise but I thought she was great at it. I noticed that her voice changed little despite it. Plus I love the OVA a lot cause of the new design, graphics, and how the coloring of the characters made everything pop more. I know that the OVA had about half canon and the other half filler, but I liked it cause it also showed the YOMI members like Shou, Plus, it's kinda weird that his voice is soft since his voice actor does Ulquiora Shiffer from bleach. I just Know that the second OVA in May will be just as great if not better. Also, the ratings for this OVA is pretty good right now: a 7.81/10, thats not half bad if I say so myself.

This was great, just as the story was. I like the fight in the middle of the two trains the most. Yeah there was a lot of intro time and introduction to the characters maybe unnecessary but some good fan service and fight scenes.

After the long wait, this was a disappointment. The second one was an improvement though.
Is there another word for synonym?

I will get really depressed if they are going to have this level of fanservice/the level the manga is now, if they are going to continue the anime :/ (havent touched the manga on a year since I got fed up with all the ecchi shit the crammed in more and more of)

I honestly liked the OVA although they were "filler enemies" , and i didn't even notice the difference of Miu's VA.

I hope they keep this up to continue animating the story.

yeah, I was disappointed by the filler, but man is it good to see Kenichi animated again! I'm lovin the soundtrack. This show definitely has some of the best fights of any anime series I've ever seen.
Love and Peace!!!

What an impressive first episode, not only did the action got a lot better but also the pacing, art and animation! While the original voice actress died from Miu, Kugimiya Rie did a really good job tuning to Miu's original voice putting that aside I also didn't expect fan service or at least not in the first episode! Either way this first OVA is very awesome and the art reminds me of Jojo's bizarre adventure a bit!

Well let's see what the other ova's have to offer us!

Seriously they picked Riu from all Seiyuu around Japan!!

Rie might did a fine job but Miu now is ruined, I just can't stand it.

Omg, omg watching Miu fight was such a pleasure. I'm glad they didn't nerf kenichi's training and progress. Rouzanpakuto seems invincible no way to defeat them, I guesss focusing on kenichi is the only way to go.

Coming from watching the dub I prefer Kenichi's English voice but I eventually just accepted it and got used to it. Miu's VA was a surprise pick and feels out of place but I don't mind since I didn't watch the sub for 50 episodes.

Most of the other characters kinda fit--but I like the alien guys english voice actor as he made him sound more comical. The animation quality has improved so that's cool and because this is an OVA they get to show more tits and butt which is a plus. Overall I can't complain for more of this series!

This is like season 1 but with more fanservice, I like it! I don't understand the complaints about Rie though, I barely noticed the change in the voice. I think she did a really good job.

Lol, these attackers were easy money.

Pretty nice start. I see Kenichi:The Mightiest Disciple as a fun martial arts series with some ecchi thrown in and in that regard this episode definitely lived up to expectations and delivered.

I thought this episode was pretty good. It's going to take me a little while though to get used to the Japanese voice actors since I originally watched it in English dub. I feel like the comedy was a lot more palpable for me in the dub. But one highlight about the Japanese voice acting is that Shigure sounds hot

pretty solid animation, though its a bummer that they used filler characters.

great fight scenes made up for it though.

also really unfortunate that Miu's VA passed away, Rie is an excellent voice actress but I agree with the others, her voice doesn't really fit Miu.
