What's the Story?

KINNIKUMAN PERFECT ORIGIN ARC follows different fighter groups called Chojin and dives deep into their backstories. Among the most featured Chojin are Kinnikuman (voiced by Mamoru Miyano) and Terryman (voiced by Daisuke Ono). These two were a fighting team together called The Machineguns. Their friendship and determination to win honor for their factions becomes obvious as they agree to take on many strong enemy Chojins, including the Perfect Chojin, the Seven Devil Chojin, the Akuma Shogun and more. Kinnikuman and Terryman grow stronger as they train and fight for justice and to avenge their defeated allies.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

This anime is violent, graphic, and mature in nature. Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc is a continuation of the Kinnikuman franchise, so if the viewer hasn't seen the previous works it may not be as compelling. The fights are intense and the sense of honor and justice is admirable, but the non-stop conflict becomes repetitive and numbing rather than engaging.
