Hanma Baki VS Kengan Ashura

I'm a fan of both the Baki and the kengan anshura anime. But both are very different in style, so I wasn't sure if a crossover would work. And I feel a show, series, would have worked better than a hour movie. Like how the normal shows are set up. They spend several seasons on one tournament. Several episodes on one fight. And now they did 4 fights in an hour. Just felt less epic. No matter how good the fighting was. Also i would have liked for them to use the more raw animation style of kengan, than the more polished style of baki. Still worth the watch! And i hope they will make a part 2 soon.

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.

As much as I love both series this felt like a huge let down. There's only so much you can get out of an almost hour and a half special and to no one's surprise we didn't get much. On paper this could've been cool as hell but it just ended up being predictable and I see I'm not alone on this. I started off excited for this then halfway through I was bored to point where I was basically forcing myself to finish it out of obligation.

It's cool to see these characters interact with each other but honestly it's the equivalent of a kid picking up their favorite action figures, smashing them together, and pretending that they're fighting. This really should've been a season crossover so the characters have more time to interact/play off one another.

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.

Ive watched every Baki episode since the beginning and i loved them all this movie was way to short they should of just made it a regular show kinda ridiculous every fight was way to short as well and the last fight wasint even finish like whaaat lol there was no build up to make you want to watch the fights just trash very disappointing. I have no idea why or who made these decisions the movie seemed like it was just rushed this movie could if been so much better its just sad i mean there were badass parts but they just ended it so fast like a regular anime show its a moive like holy cow why end it like a dragonball episode lol so annoying hopefully the next part will be better.
