Honestly it was a little frustrating watching the AX premiere. I had NO idea it was a digest cut down version and Episode 0's function of being a recap to the original series was severely crippled for a new audience seeing this all for the first time. I wonder if that's why the rating is so low at this point of writing.

That said, the completed version on Netflix is an amazing improvement. Easier to follow even if the proper pronouns can still be a lot and the lore is dense. But the main cast reminiscing on the past definitely hit home for me and my relationship with the series. I have my few nitpicks like why didn't we get to see Suguru's wedding but I cant wait for this arc to finally be animated!

Not bad at all. This seems to serve as a recap of previous events and a set up for future events. It's silly and goofy. It's not great, and I probably won't watch much more based on this, but I didn't hate it!

Interesting and quick recap of more of 100 episodes!!
Nice to do memory!
I don´t like the new "Musculman" voice style, He lacks that strident and childish touch, I suppose he has grown up with so many fights.

It was a decent recap, but wow, they really brushed over the Scramble for the Throne arc.

a great start, I really feel like I'll like Kinnikuman, will have to watch the other series eventually! This is my entry point for the series! Hopefully it's okay starting here and going back. The amount they'd put into/behind this anime, I'd be surprised if it wasn't done in a way it can be a decent entry point for the series, hence this recap!

Great for fans, confusing for beginners.
I don't think anyone who starts with this has understood who Brocken, Wolfman and especially Geronimo are, what is with Ataru and who the evil god is (the other four were not mentioned) etc.
On the one hand, this recap was more close to the manga than the old anime, such as Kinnikuman wearing different clothes, Bibimba existing, and even the Tag Team Match in America. But then Nachigorun came up for a moment. Must be fanserivce for his two fans.

It's a shame that the anime hasn't been completely rebooted and we can see the old arcs in modern animation and without the unfunny commentators.

Animation looks amazing. Great recap for new viewers. If it's anything like the manga, it'll be great!!!

This is the right way to do a recap. I didn't know anything about Kinnikuman before but now I feel like I got the basics at least and I'm motivated to get into it. I'll probably watch Perfect Origin first and then go back to the original anime or manga.
