A lot happened in the span of it's forty-five minutes, way to much for my liking. If this had been a series then It could've been quite epic, instead just this fairly hallow, yet entertaining little OVA.

while of course so call new original characters basically ruined the movie but also felt like the voice acting destroy the whole characters for me and overall story surprisingly wasn't faithful to the original story too. At least was more watchable than aof adaptation.

Typical 90s design. Nothing else of interest or remarkable.

Score: 3/10
Enjoyment: 2/5

Where's the martial action?!


@FMmatron Matching scores !
You can persevere up to the actual film, it's the only one where they actually try to do something. Nothing like fighting with your little bro a few brawls of Garô MotW or Real Bout 2 though (or side by side in the first game).
(The only good beat'em up anime adaptation is Street Fighter II's film.)

A bit odd how the last attacker managed to close in when the kids were standing there.

Anyway, pretty boring.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This OVA has all the 90s cheese. Unfortunately it doesn’t have enough action and the Geese Howard fight lasts only 2 minutes with like 4 moves.

suprisingly coherent.
Also pretty entertaining.
I love the random accents in the dub, so funny.

It's hilariously bad with an awful script and the action choreography leaves a lot to be desired especially, with such an excellent opportunity of using martial art techniques.

I didn't like it or hate it, very rushed and not enough fighting for a fighting game anime. 5/10
