Baki Hanma 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.

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.

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".

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.

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.
