As a jiu jitsu student for 8 months (and boxing experience), I have a deep appreciation for how realistic the martial arts is in this show. I believe other BJJ practitioners could agree but if you never trained and you watch a grappling match, you’d probably think it’s boring cuz u don’t know what’s going on 😅
i dont even do BJJ and i can tell they are real moves.
I think it’s boring bc the characters are bland and boring, I praised the fighting style in the review, did you watch or just went off my title?
Yeah like episode 1 you had all this great build up. The location, characters. Then he just packs up and leaves?
This anime was for people actualy doing martial arts because most martial arts animes make dumb moves and flashy that makes zero sense. Here you could feel the tension when they fought.
I agree like I said in my review the fights and realistic animation are great my issue is the characters are bland
True but you gotta make it interesting. Like Hajima no ippo.
As an actual martial artist, this is by far the most boring (including the fight scenes)
I know right, the fights scenes were pretty realistic, the only people disappointed, are the nerds who are use to seeing a level 9000 character throw projectiles from his hands, also the last season of baki sucked, yojiro use baki like a pair of nunchucks, was goofy as hell, what were they smoking when they grern lit that scene
When it comes to anime it's story first then fights this lacked substance
@vanquese8947 Thank you for actually saying that. Bringing your perspective in, because I've seen a LOT of Martial Artists talk about how boring the choreography and the show in general truly was.
Don't know man i love it! Want they 2nd season now!!!
As a martial arts fanatic i really loved it the choreography was verry good and the story was not bad it is verry testosterone filled anime.
The ending foreshadow Tsutsumi Jyohei, there will be 2nd season with Tanba Bunchishi as MC.
@@Han-nk3ioi hope they change the animation style to look more like the manga
@@user-vr2nq1yd2o i like the animation i just wish the art on the faces was more manga accurate.
@@humpterthedestroyer story was just bland just say that
I love the Netflix releases of playing a comparison of the actual moves they used in real life. I enjoyed it, plus the ED and OP so good. I could just switch my brain off.
The ED especially.
Garouden was absolutely amazing coming from someone with martial arts experience(specifically in boxing) I love how accurate the fight scenes and the unique the animation is. I also loved the technicality of it to as a fighter I just love and appreciate how accurate it truly is and the real life cuts in the animation are very unique and amazing and the blue shots of him are something else. The show was a 10/10 for me so I will have to disagree with you.
I have no issue with the fights which are the best part of the anime but the characters and story was bland and unappealing to me glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏿
This show is good for people who have fighting experience. I love it so far, as someone who’s done taekwondo and Krav Maga. This show is also based off of a very old Manga, so let’s see where they take this thing.
No issue with the fighting, the characters are just bland and boring with no type of personality
Such great martial arts representation but the fast pace is so bad. I laughed so many times when a fight ended in less than a minute
More realistic than when the protagonist has a flashback during a pivotal moment in the fight that takes up a whole episode. The fighting garouden is based on real martial arts techniques especially jiu jitsu and it’s awesome to see in animation
Well most street fights are usually very short
That’s how actual fights are. I appreciate the realism
While I feel you, I appreciate that the fights are not drawn out so terribly long so I am not at odds with the fight lengths. Plus, the damage that gets done ought to decommission some at the moment if they do not die first. And the MC tends to love pulling joints out of sockets.
You’re on crack my guy this show it’s very top Tier the fighting style the smooth transition between combat the story this a beautiful made Anime. See you “content creators” need to chill, y’all really just be hype beats and don’t know when a anime is actually good or not y’all go off popular and what content is making waves on CZcams instead actually knowing Great Anime.!!
If you think “Content Creators” are just hype beast…why are you on CZcams looking for validation on a show from a “content creator”? I talk about what I like and what I don’t like. If I was just a hype beast I would be glazing this anime like everyone in my comments. How bout check out my platform instead of assuming you know me based off one video. Everyone has different opinions and taste you not special bc you think your opinion is “Great Anime”. Been watching since the late 90s player I know what I like
You got no beast, no killer instinct.
I liked the technical aspects of some of the moves, however there was simply not enough of it, and when it was there, it was often animated very poorly.
Characters would just seem to teleport to wherever they were 'needed' to be without any showing of how they got there. Serious lack of flow in the combat.
Sure, they might have used real grappling moves, but that's about the only highlight since they used those moves so poorly.
I feel like maybe it could have been better if they paced everything better. It feels simultaneously too fast and too slow at the same time.
As a life long mma fighter, I absolutely loves this show. No dumb plot that raised the stakes to stupid levels, just a more reality drive anime. I do believe it is more niche, seeing that I believe mostly martial artist are gonna enjoy it more than non practitioners. The whole MC thing, I disagree with. No where in the show it shows that the MC is somehow overpowered. It is more about people with different backgrounds and the whole inner beast things confronting each other and that's all. Tanba for example is also a beast, no where is it told that he is over powered like the MC.
When it comes to the combat, to someone like me, its amazing to see differect techniques used like the double leg, anke lock, etc. in an anime. Normally it's moves that aren't even a little bit grounded in reality. Anywat, thats my take. Not everything need to be flashy as you said in the video.
I get the point of everyone saying the fighting choreography is amazing, and I can totally see that. However I don’t understand why random ass people are running up to the main guy (I keep forgetting his name), somehow finding him in the middle of fucking nowhere and starting a fight with him for no reason. Like who are these people that wanna fight him? Tf is going on?
It's just like you said. Choreo wise the fights are up there with hajime no ippo.
The rest: pacing and char development, is very lacking.
But since I've been missing good martial arts and anime that are actually close to realistic fights anime, I gave it a go and went with it.
Well it’s based on a live action show so it’s hard to replicate
its a book bro
It was a novel, live action movie, manga, then anime
@@hypnoticskull6342 Now I am waiting on the stage play. 🤣
I really hope this video don't get this show cancelled, because respectfully you're absolutely wrong, I love every minute of it, I'm glad it wasn't over the top like most animes, can't wait for season 2
Seriously doubt that plus this is my opinion on what I saw we don’t have to agree 🫡 enjoy your show if it gets a 2nd season
That show wishes it was baki or kengan I was so disappointed after the last season.
Hopefully the second season will be better 🙏
Real fights look like this anime it's taking a kind of deep sad slow turn but not gonna lie I've watch it in one go and I love it
The choreography is solid but fighter proportions throw me off some. So I am just here for the fights for whatever foolish reason they must, tournament, validation, or someone looked at them wrong.
Did you not watch the finaly?
Saying that cause the message of the show is most definitely not "control your inner beast you can be strong without going berserk"
It's made very clear by the oleg the assassin charcter and his wife as well as juzo and the girl he likes and there Paralleling situations.
Juzo ran away when he let his beast loose afraid of the girls reaction even though he killed somebody thinking or maybe even making himself think she was afraid of him while oleg took the girl in when he was in a similar situation and married her that showed juzo that his girl wasn't afraid of him that day .
I'm not sure what the message of the show is but if anything it appreciates and respects the power and ferocity of letting your beast loose, another scene I really liked that touched that theme is the final fight when juzo was fighting with the most primal parts of him and the beutiful Ed song starts playing with him thinking of how that's the song his mother used to hum to him before she was murdered ,later the song merges with the op song showing how the beast in him is merging with him , that scene showed me how beutiful and strong the full spectrum of humans can be with the beast as well as the beauty of all you experienced and everything else combined
I can see that as well that’s the beauty of shows and movies many different interpretations and messages can be seen.
MC wasn't nerfed like stated in this video,Story is about the finding the strongest fighter like everything else in this genre.Man's killed a bear and nearly killed a few guys soon after if it weren't for someone to intervene plus he been on the run for several years plus he admit he use the art form as intended.
Sometimes the body proportions be off with them thick necks and I wish they used rotoscope for the fights in there entirety. I'd take this over Kengan Ashura and Baki any day.
Most BS thing I saw was that counter to the Tiger King. Show is plot is serviceable which is what I'm here for. 7/10
You misunderstood what I said about the MC being nerfed. The MC could easily beat anyone he fights but he holds back bc what he did in the past. Which is a way of nerfing to slow down the pacing. I’m not saying he’s weaker from what he was in the manga or whatever just held back
@@Mr.RogersReview He does beat his opponents easily, trying not to kill them in the process is what he struggles with, he got no issue killing an animal and when he go beast mode it's followed by a fatal blow.
The people with the most influence regarding the pace were the general and cop, only if the MC chose not to fight at all would he have slowed the pace.
His master said self he practiced the art in it's truest form. I get what you saying it just don't fit this MC's profile. Season 2 will see him return to form if we get it.
there’s so many people resisting this show cuz its not the same old stuff theyr used to 😂
I just want characters that aren’t bland, the fights were amazing and done well it just outside of that wasn’t a reason to watch it I could’ve just skip the talking and go straight to the fights with no context…which I’m sure a lot of people do
HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE 😂
😅I love the anime, and I want more of it ❤
Same opinion as IGN 😭
I agree 100% bro as I was watching it I wasn’t fw it but i stuck it thru. Love how u added the Wade Barrett meme in there 😂
lol man I tried I swear but it was just not interesting at all. and I got putting the scenes like that from @ChiseledAdonis lol s/o to him
Become a martial artist or a warrior of any capacity then maybe you will understand
Man, I totally disagree with you. I love the fact that it seems that it's more grounded in reality. Then, when I watch shows like baki and kengan, don't get me wrong. I do love both of these shows. But this one is more set in reality. So I think I would love to see another season. Also, it seems that they actually have a brother. That is a good fighter. And I hope that he gets more stuff to do in the hopefully second season.
That’s fair but being more rooted to reality doesn’t have to be bland with no type of personality is all I’m saying glad you enjoyed it
@Mr.RogersReview You had some good points. But I've rather them give this another shot. Compared to some anime, That get chances, and they're not as good. Because I believe there's potential in the show. The main character is kind of Bland. But hopefully, in the next season, they will give more to his personality. But I like the fact that it looks like him and the brother is going to be like partners. Like Goku and Vegeta
Only nerds and weebs who never trained a day in their lives find Garouden boring.
So are you saying everyone who trains and fight have to have a boring mundane life? I highly doubt that. Like I said nothing wrong with the fight animation I actually enjoyed that part but the characters are boring and uninteresting
The battles were commendable, but without substance and a compelling narrative, everything else becomes inconsequential if there is no proper buildup.
@@Mr.RogersReview No. Nerds/weebs who are used to shonen type shows will not understand anything about a martial artist, interesting or boring. And the Garouden manga is quite deep, again if you train.
As you say, Netflix had a winning streak with anime until Garoden. I believe the only cool thing about garoden is the intro, everything else sucks (Art, plot, fights, character design), i feel nothing when i see the fights in this anime, even if the approach is more Technical compared to Baky and Asura, it just bland...
Anything aside from the fighting is boring. And I mean anything. The fights are solid. They are well animated. I would probably the best animated out of all the martial arts anime on Netflix. I didn't find any of the fights "amazing". Meaning there's not really a fight that shows people really pushing hard. The closest to that was Fujimaki vs Himikawa. But I do think part of that issue is that the animation quality isn't that hot. Garouden doesn't look as good as Baki for instance.
This anime was ass, it felt like a watered down Kengan Ashura
I agree. The action scenes were not as good Kengan or Baki. I thought it was so-so.
@@terrelltownsend8016 are you serious. Fighting scene were way better than both Baki and Kengan due to it realism.
@@terrelltownsend8016Baki fight scenes are pure trash. This is 10 times better than Baki fights. Kengan however has some outstanding fights.
@@ramthaniel1nah baki fights are no where near trash, they actually are engaging
@@itsDjjayy They are slow. Too much talking. Too many still-shots. Baki is a very well developed show compared to this one but the fights are too fuckin long. 45 minute fight and 35 of those minutes are talking.
it looks nothing like the manga
5/10? How about some fried chicken and watermelons would you rate it 10/10? My dude what is up with yo taste buds don't tell me you are giving Baki vs Kengan Ashura that 10/10 it was straight up trash.
SMH now was that even necessary? Yes 5/10, my review for Baki vs Kengan is up go check it out
Seemed like that was trying to capitalize off baki's success.
The novel that this is adapting was before Baki. And the author of Baki, Keisuke Itagaki, illustrated the manga adaptation
@@hypnoticskull6342 interesting, I'm guessing Netflix's anime adaptations of Baki is what put it above this being less know by western audiences?
@@nickrachels5030
That's exactly what happened. Baki already had an anime in the early 2000s, but it wasn't popular, with only 2 seasons. It only got popular when season 3 (Season 1 of Netflix Baki) was animated
@@hypnoticskull6342 thanks for the background lesson!
@@nickrachels5030
No problem, man. Read the manga if you have time. You know the fight between Tanba and Tsusumi they didn't show in the anime? That's like the second best fight in the manga
Animated show reviewers when the low-budget, 8 episode adaptation of a 40 year old novel that prople have been waiting for isn't a cinematic masterpiece
What does any of that have to do with bland boring characters? There are plenty of low budget titles that’s aren’t “masterpieces” but still entertaining. I gave props to the fights and soundtrack. Just bc it’s a manga ppl been waiting on (my first time even hearing about the title was when Netflix dropped the trailer) does not mean it’s free from criticism.
@@Mr.RogersReview
You're right, I was overreacting, but there's one thing. It's made for a specific crowd. It's low-budget, it has cool fights, and it's fanbase is far and few. It's like how Baki doesn't have much of a plot anymore, but people still love it. If the anime was 12 episodes instead of 8, I'm sure it would have been so much better, but it sadly wasn't. Because of that, we had to miss out on one of the best fights in the series and got no depth from Tatsumi or Nagata. I personally love this show and I just can't understand how it's boring or how the characters are boring. The characters like Tanba and the fighters that Fujimaki fought in the first arc, yeah, but not the main characters. Fujimaki, Himekawa, Shozan, and Izumi. I'm sorry for acting like everyone should enjoy this because I enjoy this. I'm a biased because I've waited for so long, but I still stand by my statement that this is a great anime
Holy fucking shit!... I fell asleep 3 times trying to watch this show, I thought I was the only one Lol..
