    History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi

    Yes finally! I been waiting for groups to pick this up. I really like the manga a lot, and been waiting for groups to sub this. Hope the anime will be just as good as the manga.

    Here is :

    Episode 1 - umai-Doremi

    Shirahama Kenichi is awalys bullied by the classmates. One day, he sets out his mind to become strong, following an advice of a beautiful girl, Furinji Miu, he goes to a martial arts school. However, it was a tremendously hard school where the strongest martial arts masters teach...

    I've been following the manga scans of this series for a long time. It's ecchi, but not to TenTen levels. Most of this centers on Miu. It's really more of a comedy series, with the teachers at the martial arts school all having really odd personalities.

    To me, a good analog is calling it the School Rumble of martial arts series. I hope the anime doesn't divert too far from that.

    EDIT: It's still there. I'll keep an eye on this one, and see where they go with it.

    Hmm... Sounds interesting. Sumomomomomomomomo was something of a disappointment, so maybe I should have a look at this. Well done martial arts fights are nice to watch. And if it has odd characters, ecchi, and humour mixed in, well, it could be a really good mix.

    FUCKING AWESOME!!!

    I love the manga, it's a pity that it doesn't get released very often, but this is an awesome series, and now it's an anime.

    Downloading it now.

    Hmm... It didn't look bad, although I think the dude was made far too weak. Too exaggerated. I mean, no living human would probably be like that. Sure the point is to make him stronger at the peculiar dojo, but I think a little bit moderation wouldn't have made it any worse or less to the point.

    Well, if he gets rid of much of that uber cowardice in the next few episodes, I think I will like this series well enough. For sure I will continue to watch this.

    The fights look like they'll be very good to watch... Didn't like the first episode so much, but I'm sure that it'll get a lot better. I'll keep watching...

    I hope another group starts releasing this, the umai-doremi release was very weak. The translations and editing were pretty bad. The karaoke and timing were aweful too.

    i finally finished dling that ep and just watched it. I have to say i'm surprised at how easy it was to swallow the first episode. That moment of 'seriousness' where kenichi reacted to the gangsters saying 'it's the natural order of things' was done really well. By really well i mean I wasn't forced to wince cause it was so corny compared to like the first episode of busou renkin...

    mnn...yeah i guess kenichi's helplessness was a bit exaggerated but it did help a bit with the comedy, like the moment where he freaks out when he runs into that guy before he passes out..

    mnnn you guys were right, this series is quite fun..i think it's going to turn out great...well from what i saw in the first episode anyway xD

    The series looks like it's keeping to the manga so far, though with one episode it's hard to tell. With regard to the other comments about how weak the main character is being portrayed, I have to say I don't remember it being quite that blatant in the original manga, of course it's been a while since I read the beginning so I could be wrong.

    It seems to me that they're emphasizing his personal cowardice more than they're emphasizing his weakness the way the manga did, which is annoying. Still both aspects should go away pretty quickly if they progress the anime much faster than the manga, since by the third volume he's starting go grow a backbone. In many ways he reminds me of the main male character of the manga Zero In if anyone's read that.

    I really like seeing this all animated, they're doing a good job with the moves and fighting parts.

    Not much else to say on anything, but from what I remember they seem to be following the manga nicely. Although, it's been a long time since I read the first volume.

    The road from a punching bag to a master is a long and thorny one, but let's see how one embarks on it, anyhow:

    Edit: Bah. By the time I was finished with my masterful punch line (pun intended), Zati had already posted the link. Still, I do consider myself a winner because of the punch line.
