Hanma Baki VS Kengan Ashura

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.

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.

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.

There was an opportunity here for one of the best crossovers in all of anime but instead they decided to take the safest route possible. Which, when you think about it is probably the worst crime of them all. Especially with a show like Baki where they are know for pushing the boundaries and shocking readers and watchers at every turn.

At the end of the day this is just a fan service crossover. I will admit it was cool to see characters from each series interact with one another. But besides that. The fight had no suspense and were predictable, the animation was subpar, and what was the deal with the voice acting?

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.
