Despite my criticisms of calling it childish, I still can see how on the other hand, the designs can possibly symbolize the more campy nature this anime may have intended to have.

Well, the art and resolution is very flat and I feel that the character designs are childish. So you’re getting something more original in story, but for the most part in characters, tend to be faithful which both have their pros and cons. And even though Lau serves as the primary antagonist, we also have the use of Eva Durax, who is the company’s chief scientist who is hungry with power and to destroy her enemies. While in the anime, Dural is a robot soldier project from the Kouen-kan. Even though there are some accurate portrayals from the games, there are some ret-cons such as Dural, who is really Kage’s mother.

I enjoyed the portrayal of the other characters since most of their personalities are more faithful to that of how the game portrays them and are expanded in this anime, and each character has their own unique use and development.īut unfortunately, the series does tend to move a bit slow and tends to rely on sci-fi mechanisms at times which isn’t really what I like in traditional martial arts media at times. Pai is also portrayed as child like, but has some skill of her own. So I guess in some ways, this is a good thing just to prevent Akira from having a one-dimensional and too cliché personality for the time. Despite that, he still has a deep respect for the martial artsĪnd is always willing to defend the weak. While in the anime, his behavior is juvenile, sarcastic, and has an appetite like Gokuu from Dragon Ball. Allow me to explain, in the games, Akira is portrayed more as a serious old school style martial artist and tends to really have no sense of humor.

I feel with a traditional martial arts story in relation to anime, I feel it could go in certain specific ways and I felt it was a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation with what your typical martial arts movie or series could be.
