What an excellent series. A perfect combo of action and comedy!

I love the attention that is paid toward explaining the various martial arts so that even a layperson such as myself would understand. It made it all the more believable, compared to other action anime, and added a whole new level of enjoyment to it.

I hope they're going to make more episodes. I haven't heard any new of it, but the manga has enough material for almost 100 more episodes if they keep at the current pace. Here's hoping!

This anime is just so awesome words cant describe, if it would have been longer it would have been a 10/10 for me. Overall, 9/10. Now onto the manga :]

PS: Hope they make a second season soon

i gave the show a 9/10, woulda been 10, but there were some episodes where there were insanely long recaps where it didnt need to be (4 minutes is too long of a recap) and then there is the ending that left it open, which im starting to expect in animes, tho all the build up of the relationship aspect between miu an kenichi, where she starts feeling jealous it seems but doesnt know it or why etc, an wasnt expanded on, atleast in the anime

but despite all that, i loved the show, just the show i needed after watching the atrocity that is GetBackers lol

Shigure was one of my favs amung the masters, loved how she was envious of kenichi imitating Ma one second, then jumping up an celebrating when he was imitating her in the eps before this one lol

There were absolutely no wasted movements in this fighting series. Great pacing from beginning to end and an awesome final showdown.

Didn't expect the anime to allure me till the very end. I thought 50 episode would bore me eventually, due to the expectations of it being dragging, but I stand corrected. Great anime! I'd be awesome if there would be a continuation knowing that the manga is still on-going.

I am surprised to see how many people actually enjoyed this.... I found there to be too many over reactions in parts, it lacked a sort of seriousness around it, and sadly ended abruptly.

And damn, those recaps... just too damn long.

What a great ending I must say, full of action and heartwarming friendship! The small recap in the end was also very lovely and it really ads more value to the whole serie imo if they do it like this! So all in all I quite liked this series, it had really great story and character development and intense battles so for me this was a great anime and a great 2 day marathon! 9/10

A bit sad that the voice actress of Miu died before the sequel ova's but well other than that I'm looking forward what the ova's have to offer!

Wow I enjoyed this show... the comedy, the different martial arts disciplines, each character had his/her own uniqueness... I can’t say enough abut this anime. My only gripe is that I didn’t see Miu fight with al her strength with a worthy opponent nonetheless this was a rally good Shounen.

Really enjoyed the beginning of this anime, but the more the focus shifted to the Shinpaku alliance versus Ragnarok and shifted away from the comedy/training with the masters I enjoyed it less and less.

The last few fights all followed the exact same pattern which was rather disappointing too.

6/10.

Ahhh that was a good watch. 7/10. Very childish which made it difficult to take some moments seriously but yeah, overall, a decent anime.
Shocked that there're still more than 400 chapters left after the chapter the anime finished on. Don't think I'll read the manga straight away but it's something to look forward to.
I'd love a season 2 but I feel like if they were gonna do one, they would've done already. Don't know whether to watch the OVA's or not...

The Anime only encouraged until episode 146.
The Ovas covered the volumes 46, 47, 49, 53, 54, 55 and 56, so it is a very big leap in history since the episode 146 of the Manga is there by volume 17.

8/10...



The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.

Anime itself was pretty good, IMO worst thing was that earlier episode event review took important minutes from next episode, not in every episode but on too many :/

So no comments on how utterly idiotic of a motivation Ryuuto had for hating Kenichi so much and going down such a dark path? I don't have even a single memory of when I was 6 years old lol. That said, I'm not too bothered by it, it fit the tone of the show I suppose.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this series for what it was, a solid 7/10 in my book. Funny enough for a show about martial arts, the fighting wasn't the biggest draw for me. I kept coming back for the characters, they really endeared themselves to me. If I made a list of my comfort food anime this would be on it for sure.

Oh yeah, there's one thing that would have bumped the score up for me, a fighting tournament! Something along the lines of those seen in Yu Yu Hakusho, Flame of Rekka, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, etc. Kenichi going it alone or a team tournament featuring the top members of the Shinpaku Alliance! Either option would have been pretty damn awesome. And if the tournament was a secret/underground affair, all the better!

Loved the montage when the theme song played.

Kinda rushed towards the end and more closure would've been preferable, but it was nonetheless a great ride. Quirky characters, full of shounen tropes, fanservive and cool fights. A nice package, there hardly exists anything better to have a fun watch.

Definitely gonna check out the manga at some point.

Decent/Solid series. Some really solid arcs (8/10 ish). But some episodes that I didn't like at all. The early Shinpaku episodes were pretty awful (5/10 ish). It's probably about a 6.5/10 but I'll round up to 7/10.

I have to admit, Kenichi is a little too naive and obnoxiously idealistic though. I was annoyed by it at times. Also, ditch the band-aid please.

But in general Kenichi himself wasn't bad. And all of his masters were pretty cool. Most of the Ragnarok people he "saved" were pretty cool, too. I didn't dislike Miu, but I didn't necessarily like her either. And alien dude was pretty awful.

Ugh... in the end Kenichi of course had to be an idiot and pity his opponent and even consider him to be a friend. Odin's reason actually was a badge that he got back then from a candy machine wow... talk about a retarded villain. And what was up with those last few minutes, just recapping scenes from old episodes? Lazy way to finish this

This anime had the same problem that a lot of shows have. They start of fresh and make it seem like they are unique, but in the end we get the same goody two shoes protagonist who fights for his friends and is way too friendly to his opponents... which then become his allies out of nowhere. Also the last fights were pure sausage fests, the female characters became practically irrelevant. 5/10

@edythemighty If I recall correctly, in the Original the Powerlevel was 'only' 8000, but the Translators thought 9000 fits the Mouth Movements better. At least that's how the Legend goes. :-)

- Very fun and easy to binge

- Old school shounen charm despite having all the cliches and tropes that come with it

- Lovable cast of characters and cool designs

- Great soundtrack along with unskippable OPs and EDs IMO...

- Mixes comedy and action/drama better than most series

------

- Not enough focus/fanservice on the Masters and their backstories/training/day to day stuff, etc

- Sometimes too cheesy and cliched for it's own good

- The shitty recaps at the start of the show

- Needed more romance/slice of life moments IMO...

Still, a great 9/10 series personally. Onto the OVAs...

Absolutely awful classic "Aura fight" ending to the series, completely invalidating the until this point relatively "real-world" progress he was making. Ends in a light show battle of magical willpower, what a disappointment
