Synopsis

In 199x, the world was engulfed in the blaze of nuclear war.

With the Ocean drying up and Earth torn asunder, all life seems to be lost but humans survived stubbornly. However, what dominated the post-apocalyptic world was sheer violence. The remaining humanity was split into two groups: those who kill and take whatever they can and those who are exploited.

When all hope seems lost for the weak, a man in ragged cloth appears. He is Kenshiro, the rightful successor of the Hokuto Shinken martial arts with seven studs-like scars in the shape of the Big Dipper. His journey to becoming a legendary savior begins!

Preliminary (5/? eps)
As someone who sat through Ex-Arm, Berserk (2016), and Gibiate… trust me — this ain’t even the same league.

The animation here is actually really good.
It blends 3D models with cel shading in a way that gives characters a strong manga-like presence, instead of that stiff, lifeless CGI people usually complain about.

Now, pacing?
Yeah — this anime is straight-up speedrunning the story.

If you’re not a fan of 3DCGI, that’s completely fair.
But comparing this to the likes of Ex-Arm or Gibiate in terms of animation quality?

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/? eps)
As someone who did not watch the original, I’m enjoying this one so much!

All thought I haven’t seen much 3D anime, this is the best so far, you can really feel the emotions the characters are going through just looking at their faces.

Pacing: As a One Piece fan I can see why some people may not been liking the pacing, specially the OG fans of the show, but as of right now(currently watched 6 episodes) I don’t really think they are taking is that fast.

As far as the story goes, there’s nothing bad about it, it’s just regular shounen story and I really liked that ...

Sat through berserk?

Woukd agree, this anime is definitely not in the same league, it's a train wreck of "who green lit this‽".

I watched the dub, because books are for reading and video is for watching (actual fact). If you haven't watched the dub, it's a must. Everyone sounds so corny and dorky. Each time a guy talks, it's oddly funny and annoying since it's very distracting.

I'm not an animation snob. The laziness of animation studios pulls me out of the immersion, so 3d ...
