7/10

20th Century Satire.

Cmon. KAPPEI is a play on all those classic 80s manga and anime! The most well known being Hokuto no Ken!

Even without subtitles if you love romance comedies and hot blooded manga heroes from the 80s. You'll understand all these beats!!

Rivals, friendship! Daily life?!

You'll love it all.

The plot is as follows. On an isolated island in July, 1999, young boys are trained in martial arts mukaisappuken by their master. Their goal is to save mankind from the end of the world, which was predicted by Nostradamus. Thinking the world will be a MADMAX wasteland.

In 2022, the planet has not been destroyed. Their master gathers Kappei and the other trainees. He decides to disband the group and instructs them to disperse. Kappei goes to the peaceful modern city Tokyo and uses his martial arts abilities to find love.
