Ok, now you guys are gonna read something different from the others: This anime is Underrated. A LOT. Souten No Ken RE:Genesis is a prequel for Hokuto no Ken series. It tells the story of Kasumi Kenshiro, one of the Hokuto Shinken masters that came before the Kenshiro we know. First of all, I am writing this as a Hokuto no Ken fan. Now the thing is, before I write the rest of the review, let me tell you, this anime is GOOD. Most of the people just complained because of the CG, and saying that the artstyle is bad of the plot itself is bad aswell, as an excuseto hate the anime because of the CG. I know this because I know people that told me exactly this. Now, let's begin:

Story: 8/10
As a person who enjoys some old anime, aswell as Hokuto no Ken itself, I must say that the feeling I got when watching this anime, is the same feeling I had when watching the Original Hnk. If you enjoyed the old series plot, you will probably like this one aswell. Some character deaths made me cry, just like the original HnK made me too.

It is a bit cliché, of course it is. It's HnK series we are talking about. But HnK is basically the father of battle-shounen animes, so it created the cliché. But if you like the story depends on your taste.

Art: 9/10

Ok ok, this is where most of people will think that I'm crazy.
The art is good, ok? It IS good. Don't let the CG haters convince you otherwise.
The way they created the 3D models, is identical as the original artstyle from the series.
I really don't understand people who say: "This ungly disproportionate characters..."

First, it's anime we are talking about. If someone says that to Souten no Ken, why don't say for Jojo's wheels shoulders aswell? Or for CLAMP's freaking tall characters? (Btw I love these 2 :v)

And second, if a person says this to Souten, it probably never watched the Original series where Kenshiro faces a HUGE man. Like, literally, the guy is bigger than a house. This huge muscle guys are the artstyle that HnK has, so it is wierd to say this to the anime.

Oh, the only aspect that annoyed me, is the 20 FPS lool like animation. It took me a while to get used to it. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GONNA DROP THE ANIME JUST BECAUSE OF IT, RIGHT? Because I think it has a lot more to offer then just animation, right?
And btw, when big fights start, the animation looks really amazing though (60 FPS :V )

Sound 9/10

Not much to comment. The soundeffects are cool and the music are awsome aswell. (I love that opening)

Character: 9/10

I LOVE KASUMI SO MUCH. The silly way he taunts the enemies, and the sarcastic jokes... it's like the original Kenshiro, but with the difference that he doesn't have depression.
The side-characters are good, and their evolution aswell. Made me happy, and made me cry.

Enjoyment; 10/10

I really loved to watch this, and I'm ready for season 2!
I missed HnK so much, and watching this and having the same feelings I had when watching the original series is amazing. It's literally as if I'm watching the original series again!

So, resuming everything I just said:
If you are a generic anime-watcher, who just like the new and popular stuff, and hates the typical Shounen cliché. Just leave. HnK series, aswell as Souten no Ken, is not for your tastes.

BUT, If you did watched Hokuto no Ken and really enjoyed, and loves battle shounen with badass protagonists who kicks everyone's face, but yet is an amazing but not perfect character and has his flaws.. This anime is for you.

Try it, JUST TRY IT. Ignore the comments about the animation. Animes are more then just that. The design is amazing and faithful to the typical HnK artsyle.
You will like it, for sure.
