Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura

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.

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.

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.

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.

Baki Hanma and Ohma Tokita, the film's two main characters, both want to be the strongest man for their own reasons. They finally have a chance to confront one another in a tournament.

As I watched both shows-all of Baki's and Kengan Ashura's-I had great hopes and enjoyed them all. With scenes that incorporated characters from both programs and connected them to backstory, the film got off to a strong start. It was entertaining to watch the fights. However, the story was just passably good, and the cinematic adaptation was subpar. The fact that Baki and Ohma's match ended in a tie would have been advantageous because it prevented one show from being held concurrently, but it would have been handled differently.

The animation appears Although Kengan Ashura was created in 3D, I am happy they chose to use 2D animation. Although Kengan Ashura is an excellent program, the 3D animation is the one thing that bothers me about it. The English dub voice acting was good. It had good music.

To sum up, I am dissatisfied with this film because it was not up to the both shows as they were entertaining to me.
