its fun, seems like it has a good plot and is quite old school... but the animation quality just sucks... so, it was ok, i enjoyed it, but this season has so many better animes than this that i may even drop it if it fails to keep my interest

oh it's an adaptation of a super old manga.. no wonder it gave me an old school feel. I decided to watch this with no expectations but it surprisingly kept me well entertained. for some reason it gave me a nostalgic feeling?? probably because I watched pro (fake) wrestling growing up , hahah.

its actually not just an adaptation, but a sequel to a REALLY old anime XD

Incredibly corny but such a blast to watch, I thought I was stuck in the 80's for a moment there. On the downside, it's visually too plain for the kind of anime it is.

ps: The ending is fucking legendary.

Very enjoyable. The original Tiger Mask never came over to the US and there was no subs for the original show. So I never seen anything of Tiger Mask until now.

I am heavily disappointed. They threw some characters at me and explained nothing.
And then they have the audacity to not even show some wrestling. The main event was only two holds and a kick, wtf?
Also, if they tease us with Okada, they better show at least a Rainmaker.

I don't remember how many times I rewatched Tiger Mask Nisei when I was a kid. This new Tiger Mask anime definitely made me happy. I'm glad the atmosphere of this new version is similar to the classic.

Also I kinda found funny how some stuff was exaggerated like "You're gonna get the Tiger's Execution" and Odin shat on his pants. Like ok I get it, you're gonna get killed, but it sounded like he was gonna get murdered in the worst of the worst of the worst ways known to humankind and hell alike.


No, you don't get it. You don't get it at all. I'll tell you as someone who's seen both prequels you don't know absolutely anything.

It isn't just about the fact that Odin will be killed but in WHAT MANNER. If he's going to be lucky. Both Tigers' Den in the original and Space Fed. in Nisei are quite vicious when it comes to that. You can get thrown to the tigers - actual tigers - to get eaten alive. You can be tortured to death, including mental torture beforehand. Or you can earn a nice steel collar connected to a power source that can electrocute you at any time while you're sent off to do slave work. Two wrestlers who failed to defeat Tiger Mask have been seen facing this fate and others don't have it too cool either. For example one of Naoto's friends, Daigo Daimon, was forced to fight him in the ring by elaborate mental torture back at Tigers' Den.

Some of you are saying that it's unrealistic for the protagonist to kill a bear with wrestling moves. Well guess what. That's what Tiger's Den has you do in training. You fight bears, tigers, lions, what have you. You survive? Good, next stage. You die? Oh boo-hoo. Calculated risk. Next. People who end up surviving this training have no problem wrestling down a wild animal - they've been trained to do so. And not as adults - they've been trained since childhood, albeit naturally wild fowl enemies come very late. By then you're already hardened. This truly is a training from hell.

Well that's an interesting add to it. Although I did mention about the "way to die" more so than dying itself btw.

Very good anime. I used to watch Wrestling 2-3 years ago. I haven't been thinking about wrestling anime before. One question; Do I have to watch the previous season first?

No. If I understood correctly, this ignores anything but the original anime.

Esse foi o episódio de anime mais satisfatoriamente demorado que eu já vi(junto com o primeiro de Fumetsu no anata e.
As lutas parecem ser interessantes e a proposta do anime também.
Parece ser um anime incrível e o seu início já foi top.
