2.5/5
The sense of what is at stake is dulled down by very poorly timed one-liners, meaning you never really feel impacted by the story. Go to Full Review

If we have the original anime, with a more complex plot and more interesting characterisations, what's the point of watching this? [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy 07/23/2019
This new 3D adaptation of an old favorite felt like a splash of cold water on a winter's day. In other words, not terribly pleasant. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 07/22/2019

Francisco Ivn L @PacoLepe 06/30/2023 Though the story is different from the original 1980s anime, this new adaptation takes what worked the best and presents it in a new way for young audiences. Definitely fun, with very nice animation. See more 08/06/2022 my biggest question is SHUN??? why ??? grrrrr See more 08/02/2022 unfortunately the work done with this new version was disrespectful, both for older fans and for the most current audience. See more 01/09/2022 I want to see more, idc! See more 08/14/2021 The adaptation is so bad and insulting towards the original work. It's so tasteless on all levels that it's depressing. Better watch the subbed original show intead. See more 02/24/2021 It's great! I mean it's OLD school but it is great. And the type of anime that teaches you to strive to be better even in between the fighting. See more Read all reviews
