Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed, with many finding the anime flawed but entertaining due to its over-the-top nature and connection to pro wrestling. Some appreciate it as an entry point to the manga, while others are critical of its bland plot and poor production quality. The 'so bad it's good' aspect seems to be a significant draw for some viewers.
Strengths
- Good way to get into the series if you're a newcomer and want to skip the first 6 volumes of the manga.
- Stupidity is worth checking out; so bad it's good.
Weaknesses
- Characters are pretty bland.
- Plot is very simple and bland for a martial arts series.
- Fight scenes are pretty much terrible due to budget constraints.
- Soundtrack is forgettable.
