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.
Well this anime has very good story. The fighting scenes comedy are at best. I wish it had more episodes. There are animes with lots of dragging episodes. But with this anime each episodes gives more fun and excitement to watch the next. It's very disappointing that there is no continuation.
This show deserves a better rating and needs to be continued it's a shame when a gem gets cancelled and there is way too much hate in this show, people hating just don't have a sense of humor. It's also great to see another show that shows even weak people can get strong with hard work, there is nothing wrong with this anime besides it got cancelled but it's still a must watch for people that love humor filled shows, every character ads an amazing depth it's strong writing mixed with stand up comedy so don't listen to all of these haters and just watch it and enjoy yourself you won't regret it.
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.
My 3/10 mangaupadtes review for the original series: I dropped Kenichi early on due to it's boring/formulaic shonen nature but it got infamous on the web so i have looked at enough chapters while watching TV of all sorts of volumes and the final volume to get enough of what Shounen Sunday failed to push on me. I got to see young girls in tight tights turned naked ALL the time and the manga turned into nipple and barely covered vagina appreciation... Or were the butt cheeks the stars as they were bigger then some heads! Most importantly is the fact that no choreography or good martial arts (what is this series about anyway?) could be found and nearly all the men looked like He-man abortions. I obviously don't know what the big picture is but the category tags look highly confused too. What a twist and Kenichi is also a 1 to 1 "remake" of his previously failed Tatakae! Ryouzanpaku Shijou Saikyou no Deshi so i know that Matsuena's next series will be a train wreck too. At least the series isn't vile porn and just highly embarrassing softcore porn on the level of Needless, Negima and friends but the ending is equal nonsense too which means that either part 2 is coming when Matsuena's money runs out or that a third and identical fighty titz manga about the power of leveling up through training/friendship is juts around the corner. He may even skip a male lead next time and what was his character about anyway? If you care about Martial Arts (and romance) than read All Rounder Meguru (10/10) which i also reviewed and today's shonen bestsellers need a giant Titan (very good and a 8/10) sized kick in the pants to get on my pull list again. I am lastly sure that teenage me wouldn't have read Kenichi ether as he had taste and Hunter x Hunter (9/10) / Rurouni Kenshin (10/10) / Naruto on his side so read them too and let's see if shonen action can recover in the next few years.
