Seems like it would fit well on Netflix alongside Baki and Kengan Ashura.

@FabGinger13 Your slideshow piece of shit does not look better than an anime that works better as CGI and has actually good animation, choreography, and even did some fights better than the manga.

not really hyped cause I found the manga ok not the best of the I guess tournament genre there doing with ROR or from WOGW or anything but if it does descent hopefully will get a physical release cause I can't stand digital manga at all.

@Absurdo_N Can't believe they gave the Fate treatment to Kotaro when not even Fate itself did.
