This is one of those fighting anime wich can go all directions, and although it can´t be compared to the serie´s that was electrifying and the movie, this went into a more toned down side on a more personal story. I saw it back in 1999 on a videotape together with the movie and enjoyed it somewhat. Animationwise it still had the same look like the movie was, and the story was´nt bad at all , something different that all that constant fighting.It also shows the personal inside struggle of Gau ban and ELLe Ragu, 2 protagonists, like a person has in its everydaylife. The characters itself are maybe a bit slow at the beginning an uninterested but they make it up with some nice fightscenes and interesting technique´s wich is.nt too hard to execute and ofc fitting music as a add-on. I really enjoyed it somewhat and even watch it again time to time but i really reccoimend the serie´s
