A short film on a underrated manly battle shonen, Sakigake Otokojuku The Movie serves as an introduction to the series. The film's plot is straight to the point as we have our leading characters embark on a journey to America to participate in the tournament known as Great Battle August. Half the film is an outrageous road trip while the 2nd half are 4 rounds of 1 on 1 fighting. Not much can be learned from the characters by the movie alone aside from expressing manliness & the friendship they all shared on this short adventure. The only flaws to this film are the anti-climatic finalfight & the lack of other main characters such as Date Omito & The Three Fists. (Same goes for Akashi Gouji who only gets a brief scene in the movie). But like the Otokojuku series, expect some last second rescues as characters miraculously survived their deadly encounters. Overall the film is great especially with its soundtrack that yells "awesome 80's!!" Like most shonen films, it merely has the beat up the bad guy scenario, but has its own flair as we follow the students of Otokojuku taking on various over the top challenges & will stop at nothing to succeed as they follow the spirit of Otokojuku. OSU!!

HELLOO EVERYBOODY ! Let's start that review, this movie is a sequel to the Sakigake anime, so it would be nice if you did watch the anime first, or at least know a little about the series, even without that you are probably going to have fun too, cause the movie is quite simples. The plot consists in a deadly competition between the toughest students in USA vs the toughest students in JAPAN, just like it also happens in the anime, but with new characters and a new motivation for the US men, and of course, the first years of otokokuju have to prove themselvesonce more. The artstyle if craziely good, manly as fuck(I love that kind of draw style), but the animation lacks a little, just like in the regular anime the fight choreography looks very off, and not cause of its time, but due to bad animation. The movie is really fun and will entertain any Sakigake fan and also any battle shounen fan, and probably even get the rest of the audience due to its over the top humour. Check ouy THEAnimeHERO review in his channel, dude is the best, you are gonna get even more interest in the story if you do. I really want a new adaptation of this.

Mixed Feelings

This is a film based on a shounen jump manga and anime Sakigake Otokojuku which follows a story of a gang of students going in an journey to win a challenge. This is a sequel from the tv show(which what they need is another adaptation on god please) that only last 30 or 40 episodes. Story: 5 So the gang has been chosen to participate a challenge which the school has done it before. The challenge is surprisingly dangerous but Otokojuku is beg to differ. The objective is to survive obstacles around the world.Comedic characters joined the gang so it would be much more fun Art: 5 Weird how Fotns moviehad much more better detail and cleaner even though it was released 3 years ago. The fight scenes are top notch except for Momo's final fight Characters: 7 Some of you may be dissapointed since characters like Akashi didn't joined but personally i like this better. Give it a 7 since Hidemaro and Momo motivates me Sound: 8 It still had the same explosive and ringing sound effect which is cool. Good job for the casts of HnK give their voices like the voice actor of Rei who voiced the billiard dude. And the soundtrack, it gives a whole new different level from listening to it. "Cool eyes" was supposed to be sounded manly and fast paced but it made me shed a MANLY tear a little bit. Enjoyment: 9 Yeah i like this
