Dragon Fist · review
Dragon Fist is a misleading OVA that doesn't deliver. The story starts out like the synopsis here, though there is no mention of the main character, Fei Long, killing anyone. He goes to Japan and attends a school where a strange cloning situation is occurring. There's a few twists and turns in the plot, but there's a ton of info thrust onto the viewer in a few minutes, the entire story being around 40 minutes total, and everything plays out like a soap opera. The acting is very cheesy and so are the characters. The art is often distorted, characters looking odd in weird angles with limitedanimation. The actual designs are okay, though not particularly memorable; you've seen these characters playing these roles before.
The two things I did like were the colors used, a nice cool purple theme, and the awesome musick. The sound effects are mediocre, but the songs are great! There are quite a few lyrical numbers too, making this play out almost like a musical (making it even weirder to be honest). But seriously, I enjoyed all of the musick quite a bit and would potentially buy a soundtrack.
I can't give much praise to the rest of this. It's worth watching to see how strange this story is and how poorly it's executed, "so bad it's good" style.
