THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This time it was canon, but they had to skip 2 small arcs since ken-chan had no fights in those.



This was a good ova, especially because of Niijima-Sama. Niijima-Eyes! Raichis fathers power level was too strong for the Commander to handle.

Darn, wanted to get the first post >_>

Yeah, they skipped two arcs while compressing this one in one episode.
Though by skipping those previous arcs, we ended up not getting Kenichi's official disciple uniform as well. He had to fight in casual wear which is lame. He started to step up his game after wearing that. Oh well.

The animation was pretty good this time. Didn't realize Raichi had pink hair.
And we got a master fight as well, sort of.
But damn that ED. Those are from the manga illustrations. And FUCK, Kenichi vs Boris, Shou and Tirawit. Y U TEASING US WID DAT?!

Hope we get a proper full season with this after seeing that ED. And hopefully the two skipped arcs are included as well.

I never knew Raichi had pink hair either. I always thought she was blond.

I forgot about the uniform.

MORE SEASONS?! PLEASE
Kenichi vs Tirawit is one of the greatest fights I have ever seen

Or animate DxD at least *cries*

master's fight! (sort of), screw that , i wanna se animated the fightn with Kanou, now that would be epic

i remembered something was missing, so it was the uniform, oh well
i hope they actually decide to make another long runing series of this, its one of the coolest im reading (since most of my favs already ended)

the only problem is that theoriginal anime is too old so there might be a lot of people who doesnt now it....its a shame
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

I knew raichi had pink hair ( I just finished catching up on the manga ) and, I'm afraid that this episode could be proof that there won't be a second season since they did jump and, skip arcs.... This is a huge let down for me I'm a huge kenichi fan ( which is why I read the manga ) but, I still hope they will animate the manga from the end of the odin fight all the way not skipping arcs or anything like that. The anime did a good job animating that manga and, I hope that if they animate the rest of the manga they will do it good!

Boo! That was way too rushed. They need to devote an entire season if they want to do this right. That didn't even feel like an OVA. It was more of a synapses of the manga. I demand another 51 episode season!

Well, this episode was better than the first at least.
but they made Kisara look like a generic background character lol

Still, it was a far cry from the quality of the original anime series. If they decide to do a second season, I hope they use the same studio as the first season.

First season - 10 hands down
This Ova - barely a 7...

I mean cmon ! 2 seperate stories in the 2 episodes with rushed poor background story in 5 minutes? And did Miu already say ''desu wa'' in the original that often !? don't remember but now with rie voicing her it's annoying as hell :S

As for argument first series too old - Do like FMA/Hunter x Hunter, make remake from start of manga !

AH its nice seeing the other masters fighting, but they don't even go all out :l
The ending song is not iconic enough like the other kenichi songs. I would be dying in sentimentality right now if they kept the originals.

Yeah. This episode felt really rushed. I was hoping that Kenichi's fight with Raichi would've lasted longer. I also thought Tenmon Li's fighting style looked a little weird. I don't know if that's just how it looks in the manga. But overall, I really liked the fight between Raichi and Kenichi. Going off topic, I feel that a remake is unnecessary. I think the quality of the animation and art style in the original anime can still be enjoyable to new viewers.

They skipped a LOT of stuff from the manga... really felt like it was rushed. Animation was alright, overall pretty good episode apart from the speed it was going.

also kinda funny how Tenmon is basically a human Beyblade lmao
