![]() This unique facility is where Miu resides with six great martial arts masters: her unbeatable grandfather Hayato Furinji, Shio Sakaki - a karate master who looks and fights a bit like Fist of the North Star's Kenshiro, but with a more rowdy disposition, Apachai Hopachai - a Muay Thai kick boxer who is good natured, but understands little Japanese or restraint, Shigure Kosaka - a kunoichi ninja, Kensei Ma - a master of Chinese Kenpo and something of a dirty old man, and philosophical Jujutsu master Akisame Koetsuji. Consequently, after Kenichi is beaten up and given the ultimatum of defeating a hulking peer in a match or being exile from the karate club, Miu takes Kenichi to Ryozanpaku Dojo. So, while everyone else regards Kenichi as a flake and a loser, talented, attractive transfer student Miu Furinji decides that there's something likable about him. #CLANNAD MOVIE AND TV DIFFERENCES MANUALS#Picking up some martial arts manuals from among Kenichi's scattered stack of self help books, and spotting a yin-yang pin on his collar, the girl deduces that Kenichi must be a martial artist. Reading a self-help book on the way to school, Kenichi almost bumps into a chesty blonde girl, but the collision is averted when the girl instinctively tosses Kenichi on his head. Members of the karate club use him as a live target. As the donkey eared instigator Niijima points out, the low regard for Kenichi is exacerbated by the fact that he is a notorious coward. ![]() Kenichi is situated at the bottom rung of the high school social ladder. Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple starts with the kind of premise that is certain to irk anyone who is tired with or bothered by the conventions of male targeted anime/manga relationship comedies. As someone who's willing to focus on the spectacle and overlook the less laudable aspects of martial arts stories, I found Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple to be less energetic and inspired than what I was hoping for, but still, not without its winning moments. Eventually, the act of consuming it has taken hold, and before you know it, you've finished the package and are looking for more. After sampling a bit, the experience doesn't quite grab you as much as you were expecting, but you keep working through it in some unhealthy parody of Newton's first law of motion. The colorful packaging promises boldness, if not substance. Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple is anime's equivalent of junk food. Win a ticket to the LA screening of Tokyo! ReviewsĪnime Spotlight: Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple I give it 3 stars mainly because I am a devoted Clannad fan and as long as it has the name I can't just turn my back to it completely.Column by Scott Green Congratulations to the winners of the Schoolgirl Milky Crisis give-away ![]() (Personally felt it looked "cheap" in comparison.) ![]() If you were familiar with the show you will definetly be thrown off by how much it was changed. It takes some getting used to, it didn't "feel" like Clannad. Everything was off from the way they met to the way he decides to be a father to Ushio.ĭon't get me wrong, I know it can't just be the exact same thing as the show but I would have preffered it if they had just played off those memorable moments rather than just completely change them.Īlso, the ending left me feeling sad and empty with little to feel good about. I do understand that they were trying to fit the whole story into one movie but my goodness did they slaughter it! All of the cute moments that were in the show are non-exsistant and were replaced by seemingly odd senarios if you are familiar with the show at all. Nagisa was more assertive and confident then Tomoya which was the complete opposite of the show that really gave a whole different feel to the story which I fell in love with.Īs far as the other characters (the ones they decided to put in the movie at least!!) I would say they were pretty close to what you'd expect. Tomoya was more so the burden and hardly stepped in to help Nagisa with the drama club or play and there just wasn't the cute attraction between the two like how it was in the show. 1 & 2 as well as the After Story 3 times through and I absolutely loved it and fell in love with all of the characters, story line & even the animation but after watching this movie I was really disappointed. ![]()
