One of the best shows.
"Kenichi" has some of the best fighting shows, but with real heart. It tells the story of a timid boy named Kenichi who has trouble making friends and gets picked on by bullies. The only character I didn't like was Nijima a boot-licker who doesn't serve any purpose, and is annoying so that is why I gave this show a 9 rather than a 10.
Kenichi learns martial arts so he can protect himself. A chance meeting with new student Miu leads him to becoming the disciple of five eccentric masters, who are so entertaining.
What separates good fighting shows from bad is the colourful characters our hero meets and their personal stories. The pacing of the series is good.
With hard work Kenichi slowly becomes one of the toughest fighters at school and he makes new friends on the way. What makes the show funny is Kenichi remains timid unless he has a good reason to fight.
The Ragnarok story arc is a satisfying conclusion.
I think I will definitely need to watch again. Its so good.
