Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura

Animation looks like sh$t Zero consistency of character's appearances from any angle.

Looks nothing like Ohma tokita, well if I was drunk and in a hurry, and had to draw Oma from memory it would probably look similar to this.

The worst shading I've ever seen, biomechanics and physics are completely wrong.

The lighting and ambience are also thoughtless and unmotivated. Not a single iconic shot.

Not sure why they even made this, it's insulting and quite frankly an injustice to both shows.

The biggest challenge I'm having with this show is the effort it's taking to try and erase it from my memory.

A big fan of both series and watched them easily two or three times each.

I was really excited for this crossover just like any other fan would be but was utterly disappointed by the animation style, rushed story, quality of the fights and more.

Even the characters feel completely out of line, and act in ways that do not fit their original selves at all.

I had high expectations but other than setting the score between both anime and seeing which one reigns supreme, I would not recommend this crossover movie to anyone.

Save your time, watch something else.

10 stars for the idea, minus 8 stars for the execution.

Cons: Just fan service but not even good one. It's a one hour movie not a limited series. Plenty of empty talking and flashbacks to avoid actually animating fights. The fights are very lame and badly animated ; for something that both series are about martial arts, there's barely any martial arts, it's just a slug fest between all characters. The ending was very cliche and predictable and the power scaling at the end makes no sense with Baki after fighting Pickle and his father. Between this and Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf that Netflix has recently released, it's really disappointing the state of martial arts anime that feel empty,devoid, and lack any substance with their stories or with the martial arts techniques, to them a martial arts anime is just punching with occasionally a kick without superpowers. It would be nice if they got people who actually knew something about martial arts involved in these projects and not just people who watch some stuff online and think this would "be cool , let's just add that in there".

Is an exhilarating, high-octane experience that brings together two of the most iconic fighters in the anime world. The film presents a clash of titans-each representing their unique universe-delivering an action-packed story with intense combat sequences and an undercurrent of rivalry that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The animation is striking, bringing the fierce battles to life with detailed, fluid movements that capture the raw power and precision of each fighter. Every moment feels impactful, with the choreography perfectly capturing the essence of both series-brutal yet calculated, showcasing the unique fighting styles of the characters. The pacing is relentless, keeping the energy high throughout the movie without ever losing momentum.

It was a cliche ending that you could see happening before the film dropped, it had the potential to be so much better than it was but it just leaves you feeling empty, it was absolutely average, entertaining enough to watch but felt rushed as though they didn't have enough run time to make something as epic as they could have. We can only hope for a part two that makes this one seem better. There were some epic moments that could have been developed into something amazing but it just feels like the ball was dropped even though there was so much hype and anticipation around the show. As mentioned a part 2 to tie the two together would be its only saving grace in my opinion.
