Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple Season 2

My first instinct would not to go for this kind of anime, however! this is pretty awesome. I originally watched it on the net and I loved it, It has action, comedy a little bit of romance in one sense of the word. I loved the Japanese voice actors and actresses in this, they really choose good people for the characters, which is one of the reasons I loved this. I haven't watched it in english yet but definitely will give it a try. It's a good story about an outcast kid trying to fit in, he went from having no friends and being weak, thus he got bullied as "weak legs" to slowing gaining friends, strength and courage. It's a story of how hard work, dedication and perseverance eventually pays off. It has a total of 50 episodes of which I watched twice back to back, it was that good. However the story does not end with these episodes, there is also a continuing Manga and I heard or read somewhere that a season three has been approved in Japan, so I'm hoping to see more of Kenichi's progress both in martial arts and with Miu. If you like Naruto and or Fighting Spirit then I'm sure you will like this also.

I wouldn't normally be saying that about a fighting anime. Usually the story and characters of that genre just don't appeal to me. That couldn't be further from the truth in this case. This show is so well done I just couldn't help but to fall for it. In fact every now and then I invite my anime loving friends over and we marathon the series from beginning to end over a few days. It just never get's old. Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple is about a boy known by many as "Weak Knee's Kenichi" Who has spent most of his life being pushed around. What others didn't notice about him was while he was taking those beatings he never gave in. What he lacked wasn't heart, it was strength, endurance, and most of all training. From the beginning his masters explained to him in no uncertain terms he has absolutely no natural talent, mental or physical. He would have to struggle against nature itself to be remade. That in a nutshell is what this show is all about. Be warned the show is extremely silly at times but that's the world of Kenichi. I recommend this anime to anyone who likes fighting anime's but also to those who (like me) are kind of turned off by them. This show is different enough from your standard beat'em up that its worth a look. I think you'll be glad you did. I can tell you without one bit of buyers remorse that I own the whole series.

Bought this for a friend that shares my interest in the show.

This is the continuation of the previous box set. Kenichi, a man with not talent for the martial arts, joins the ryosanpaku and trains everyday under 6 different masters. While learning these arts in the hope of one day protecting Miu, the elder's granddaughter, Kenichi is constantly attacked by a street gang of Martial artist calling themselves Ragnarok. Kenichi and his friends must fight back as Ragnarok sends it's most powerful members, the eight deadly fist, to try and stop them. If the training doesn't kill him, Kenichi might just become history's Mightiest/Strongest (it translates both ways) Disciple. I personally love this Anime. It is funny, action packed, and has a great story line. Not for all people though. A lot of big boob related jokes so keep out of reach of small children. Other than that everything is amazing. You should buy it.

In Season Two (as you would expect) Kenichi fights even tougher opponents. The last of course being the toughest. This is the best martial arts anime I've ever seen. The second best would probably be Tenjho Tenge. The story line is good and goes back into Kenichi and Miu's childhood. The last 3 episodes have awesome fight scenes although unrealistic are great all the same. The video quality is good but I wish their was a blu-ray version so you could have less discs. On a side note I wish anime companies would care about the anime they put out and take more time with them. By this I mean that they should have both the Japanese and English audio in TrueHD 5.1, not stereo. I wish they would either CGI their anime like FF7 except with more color or use something like HD Master (the new Hellsing did this). If you're wondering if there is more comedy moments you won't be disappointed. That keeps going. This anime loses 1 star because the anime quality could be much better (like I mentioned before) and there is some swearing but apart from that it's great.

The Mightiest Disciple returns to Blu-Ray once again to complete his short series! KenIchi Season 2 hits the ground running with a fantastic conclusion to the Hermit arc and then goes non-stop towards a final face-off with the leaders of Ragnarok: the First, Second, and Third Deadly Fists! Miu comes along for the ride, as well as some unusual and unexpected allies, in what is possibly one of my favorite anime martial arts fights outside of Dragon Ball. Similar to Season 1, the Blu-Ray slip cover is a little thin, but the season comes on two discs and is another great production job. Everything looks and sounds polished for the opening and closing credits and the next-episode previews. Definitely recommend if you enjoyed Season 1. 10/10

This is an amazing collection and it bring hope to me for the future in that they’ve rereleased the series on Blu-ray and made an ova!

I have the entire 9 season dragonball z series and whenever I watch one the kenichi animae preview advertisement is shown, so I decided to order season 1 and 2 and i'm so glad I did because it is funny as hell but at the same time it shows the rigors of martial arts training in different styles and using what you learned during the fights and learning new moves that seemed hard at first for Kenichi at first etc..... If anyone hasn't ordered this series its a must have to watch as part of your animae collection, but the thing is if you have the time is to watch each episode back to back because it keeps you watching.

In these last 12 episodes to the series, Kenichi must finally face off against the toughest Ragnarok has to offer, can he really be up to the challenge? And why does the leader of the notorious gang seem to recognise Kenichi? Find out in this thrill packed conclusion to an amazing series, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple works on a few different levels, and some are more effective than others. The basic premise is pretty standard. A young guy trying to become a martial arts master, get the girl, rivalries develop so on and so forth. Pretty standard stuff, but that framework doesn't limit the potential or quality a series like this can deliver. Kenichi really delivers an anime experience that is really all it's own. The show almost seems sample some of the most enjoyable character tropes in a remix with the some oft the best animated martial arts I have ever seen. The characters are interesting, fun, and some will likely remind you of characters you have seen in something else. The voice acting is pretty good for the most part, but as per usual, the Japanese is definitely much better. There are a few of the English voices that are either grating or don't seem to quite fit the character they are attached to. I still think everyone will find a favorite amongst this cast of distinct personalities. The animation is great for the most part. Standard fare. The chibi crap can be a little over the top and a little redundant at times, but that is the only real negative I have for the series. The campy bits are to be expected as is the fan service, which can be a little over the top at times as well. None of it detracts from the fight sequences. The manga martial arts in this series really are the high point. It's not overpowered and flashy like Street Fighter, DBZ or anything like that, but it definitely has a flare and intensity about it. I can't comment on how this relates to season one as I have not seen it. (Nor can I find a copy within a reasonable price range) I can say that it stands on it's own fairly well, for the most part, but there are a few gaps that sort of get filled in along the way to piece it all back together.

It arrived earlier than I expected and it was very high quality. Best buy of the year for me!

I love the show, so glad I bought it

See my review for the first season for more. I must say that this is an amazing Anime, I prefer shojo anime and manga normally but this is amazing. I really enjoyed it and yes I am a girl. Girls can like boy stuff too! If you love Martial Arts and Comedy then this is for you. Recommended!
