Well they went out with a bang this episode. Kenichi puts up some impressive fighting. The fight was decent I guess with the usual gimmicks.

I might pick up the manga soon, it's been awhile since I've seen Kenichi on TV.

Nope there are 11.

Part 2 of Prince of Jidat fight. (finally subs came out)
Pretty good (found the prince to be annoying though)

the way it ended...
I hope they plan to do more. I really missed watching Kenichi ._.)

Still wished they would've continued this fight. One of the best fights in the series between the masters.

Well that was cool. A new season would be sweet but since they didn't say anything at the last episode I doubt it's gonna happen. Was good while it lasted though.

the way they ended just before the start of DOD arc. Now I want them to start animating the sequel for Kenichi. I am severely missing this show.

Anyhow the last OVA was great.

I really hope they're going to continue and animate the manga since it showed them going to that DoD tournament... even if it's not right now I wouldn't mind waiting a while for them to make a new season or more OVAs.

Thought it was a good ending, and never-the-less ending it on what i have heard to be a very good arc. Judging by the popularity of the OVAs and the fact that they've been carrying them on, and the fact that it ended right before a (apparently) great arc, i don't think getting more content is far fetched.

Damn I just loved this episode and I really want to know what happens next as the story is far from over! I really do wonder if they'll continue the show or not but if they will I'm definitely going to watch it! All in all these 11 episodes were totally great even with the voice actor differences it was still very lovely to watch with all the great action filled episodes! 9/10

Really hope there will be season 2. Want to see more of Chikage,my favorite Yomi.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I enjoyed these OVA's much more than the original series. It felt more faster paced with better animation/action sequences. I also liked the story more. We really need a 3rd season or something, especially after seeing that ending.

Holy shit major cliffhanger, I didn't think kenichi would win in that way. But holy fucks when is the other season coming out T^T

Behold of my awesomeness~

I like that he got stronger throughout the show (TV & OVA) but I wish he would have matured along with the training like a normal person. I mean for god's sake he got more b*tchy in the OVA if that is even possible… nonetheless pretty good OVA with plenty of action & comedy.

Ona a side note:
Well, I am considering reading the manga (I want to finsh this story)...

So why exactly Guru abdicated his student? I mean, yeah, he fought dirty, but I thought that it was part of his fighting style. Seemed stupid to me.

Holy crap, that antagonist was one annoying bastard... king here, king there, shut the hell up dude! Also I can't belive Kenichi tried to save even that piece of shit in the end and screamed his name, he's really gotten a lot worse from his appearance in episode 1.

Better fanservice, better art & animation, but the characters and story got worse. Not enough focus on interesting side characters either. 5/10

Just felt a little random overall, not enough time spent on some characters, a drop off from the main series, even though there were some stand out episodes. 7/10.

I thought the OVA was pretty good overall. The animation definitely improved the quality of the fights from the manga. I was wondering how the series would come to a proper conclusion with Kenichi's fight with Jihan being a two-parter. But I guess they skipped some stuff and decided to go right into Ryouzanpaku's invitation from Yami to the D of D Tournament. The pacing for this season was pretty fast. But some chapters in-between the fights were filler. So, I don't blame the studio for omitting them.

good fight, though it was kinda tiring hearing the prince spouting all the social status nonsense.

This OVA was pretty good, the animation is quite nice, though its a bummer that there's no season two. Hopefully Kenichi gets the hxh treatment sometime in the future

Fucking hate it when some anime doesn’t get anime adaptation in the middle of climax. I was hoping for more.
