Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi

"Kenichi" is one of the best fighting shows. It tells the story of a timid boy named Kenichi who has trouble making friends and gets picked on by bullies. His only acquaintance is Nijima a boot-licker who tries to align himself with the bullies by putting down Kenichi. Kenichi decides to learn martial arts so he can protect himself. A chance meeting with new student Miu leads him to becoming the disciple of five eccentric masters. What separates good fighting shows from bad is the colourful characters our hero meets and their personal stories. The pacing of the series is good. With hard work Kenichi slowly becomes one of the toughest fighters at school and he makes new friends on the way. What makes the show funny is Kenichi remains timid unless he has a good reason to fight. Unlike say Dragonball Z the 50 episodes of this show go quickly and the Ragnarok story arc comes to a satisfying conclusion. I've seen the Funimation version and the Japanese version and they are both good.

After having seen the 50 episodes and 11 OVAs I think there is something more to show within all the content from the manga and continue Kenichi's way to discover if Kenichi finally can deal with all the members of the organization, besides I think the mangakas or writers can develop deepened Kenichi's masters in the new season( dream on about it) because in my opinion the episode 11 from the ova is not enough for me and it did concrete anything.

Freaking love the characters, the plot it's really good and the comedy, Romance and Drama are on Point, the fights and character development is pretty good.

One of the best shows.

"Kenichi" has some of the best fighting shows, but with real heart. It tells the story of a timid boy named Kenichi who has trouble making friends and gets picked on by bullies. The only character I didn't like was Nijima a boot-licker who doesn't serve any purpose, and is annoying so that is why I gave this show a 9 rather than a 10.

Kenichi learns martial arts so he can protect himself. A chance meeting with new student Miu leads him to becoming the disciple of five eccentric masters, who are so entertaining.

I think I will definitely need to watch again. Its so good.

This is easily one of the best fighting anime out there and I've seen more than I can count to say that. It is your classic Dragon Ball Z scenerio where the protagonist keeps getting stronger but also keeps fighting more powerful enemies but it is well written so it doesn't get that repetitive.
