I binged this and enjoyed it. It is another martial arts tournament anime in the vein of Baki and Kengan Ashura, although I appreciate both of those more in the end, as they employ a preternatural style (ie bordering supernatural) that I can't get enough of. In those shows, most people are normal and have normal limits, but there are some who can exceed those limits, bearing god-like power. This show however stays firmly grounded in the human realm with no hint of supernaturality (I made that word up). It seems rushed at times, it is only 8 episodes and forced them to jump around and skip over what would've been fascinating fights to see (KODOKU was only 2 episodes!?. Kengan Ashura has spent its entire show on its illegal underground tournament...). The fights also could've and should've been varied more, with differents styles and moves, many fights weren't all that different from each other? Good show, I'd watch more, but the pacing was off for sure and the desire to keep it "real" doesn't mean it can't surprise you and wow you.
