| I feel like I'm jumping on this at a really weird point as the only exposure I've had to Kinnikuman is my 'Ultimate Muscle' obsession as a kid. Thankfully I've already looked up a lot about the original series before this because I wanted to know where all the returning characters came from in 'UM'. Definitely feel like this will be a weird jump on point for people with no history with the series, but I'm probably gonna stick with it personally. also; the kid in me really appreciated the insinuation towards Kid Muscle at the end. |
| Honestly it was a little frustrating watching the AX premiere. I had NO idea it was a digest cut down version and Episode 0's function of being a recap to the original series was severely crippled for a new audience seeing this all for the first time. I wonder if that's why the rating is so low at this point of writing. That said, the completed version on Netflix is an amazing improvement. Easier to follow even if the proper pronouns can still be a lot and the lore is dense. But the main cast reminiscing on the past definitely hit home for me and my relationship with the series. I have my few nitpicks like why didn't we get to see Suguru's wedding but I cant wait for this arc to finally be animated! |
| Interesting and quick recap of more of 100 episodes!! Nice to do memory! I don´t like the new "Musculman" voice style, He lacks that strident and childish touch, I suppose he has grown up with so many fights. kekeke |
| It was a decent recap, but wow, they really brushed over the Scramble for the Throne arc. |
| a great start, I really feel like I'll like Kinnikuman, will have to watch the other series eventually! This is my entry point for the series! Hopefully it's okay starting here and going back. The amount they'd put into/behind this anime, I'd be surprised if it wasn't done in a way it can be a decent entry point for the series, hence this recap! |

| I'm also starting here, and feel like it must be fine starting here, as they must know a large amount of the people watching this won't have seen the older series. Hence this recap ep, I'll go back and watch the others after like I did with Baki. Ofc there will be people saying it's not a good place to start, but interested to hear why they might think so, it was definitely made in the context of knowing that it would be a lot of people's entry points. It's not realistic to expect people to go back and watch hundreds of eps before starting this, if this anime was targeting just those few madlads who would actually do that, and whatever OG fans they can recapture...it would fail. They're definitely trying to reach a new mainstream audience too. |
