both series make their return with a crossover. jeez they went full 2D, surprising seeing the kengan ashura characters like that. raian went crazy. yujiro making an appearance at the end but damn no winner overall.

Honestly, I was disappointed...

  • They teased a pickle fight, but then it got stopped.
  • They introduced Yujiro and Kuroki only to have them leave right away. Also Kuroki Gensai doesn't hold a candle to Yujiro, but they made it seem like they would have a decent match. I feel like Kuroki is more comparable to Doppo...
  • The entire show was basically built around the Ohma/Baki fight, though we knew that would end up a draw.
  • The only even semi-interesting fight was Ohma vs Baki, everything else was just the spectators telling us how amazing these people are without actually showing anything very interesting in the first place.

I mean, I knew I couldn't expect something amazing from this, but it ended up being even less interesting then I thought it would have been originally.

I still kinda liked it because we got to see characters from the two best fighting anime's interact with each other, but overall it was a disappointment :(

A draw. Repeating the same animation over and over. 3 fights only. I expected more.

I love that this underground area has accessible toilets, and no, using it doesn't make you any less manliness.

This feels like a one-hour commercial for the upcoming Kengan Ashura Season 2 Part 2 and Baki-dou so please don't think too much about this, just turn your brain off.

With that said, after watching this, I realized that using 3DCG model for Kengan anime is the RIGHT method. Handdrawn may work well with Baki, but definitely it's not for Kengan. But since in this anime, Baki is "home team" while Kengan is "away team", Kengan must rendered in the same method as Baki.

Incredible!!!! I don't know why there are so many people complaining on the internet, this is purely fan service and it's great, the animation on average is better than the animated series, the kengan characters are very Charismatic in 2D, the characters used techniques they hadn't used in a long time, for example Baki used moves he hadn't even used in the fight against his father, and then he used Katsumi's supersonic punch, I just think that Yujiro should fight in the future with the Connector and not with the gensai who are not even close to his strength.

@paveljanik Apart from these moments, the new animation was much better than the animated series.

Seeing Tokita in 2D especially in that modern baki art style is a sight to behold.

Kaoru v Paing fight was the only completed actually finishedand that still felt lacking.
Raian v Jack was ended when Pickle went rogue and interrupted it, Raian ended up winning by unanimous decision. Yet again very lacking.
Baki v Ouma was just getting started and of course it was interrupted by Yuujirou and Kuroki, they had to end it there because they ran out of time?

I don't get how some people are thinking this is a masterpiece with that kind of development lol.

LMFAOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Baki is and always will be my goat of goats, the greatest of all time, he would have totally won if the battle wasn't interrupted there is no doubt in my mind. I kinda knew it would end in a draw, kinda strange. They seem to set it up for more installments possibly in the future, idk what was going on with the Death Row Convicts and that one guy but whatever.

Overall decent, extremely slow at the beginning, lack of OST during a lot and a lot of talking made a lot of it very boring, but the fights were a f*cking spectacle, I was hopping out of my seat cheering Baki on. I'd like to see a continuation of their battle one day!!

The minor characters doing their own little things was so f*cking funny. The post credits scene of the two guys trying not to piss themselves was insane. Also, that f*cking guy has "DAMN" written across his teeth. Wtf lol.

It was fine, about how I expected it to go, with the fights and the encounters of the real top dogs. Seeing Ohma in 2d was a trip lol. Some nice fanservice with the big casts. 7/10.

Haven't watched Baki but I've watched Kengan Ashura, but this makes me actually thankful Kengan was CG because this sh*t barely moves lmao

My biggest problem with this is that baki and yujiro aren't portrayed as equals even if they should be at that point
Also the ending was fun but why did the inmates come back for no reason and as a group? This guys hate eachother
But overall pretty good, they fight were pretty fan service driven but still good
