A major factor in making a successful shonen series is NOT to make the audience think. In this version, the plot was so boring that you had plenty of time to think how stupid it all was.

Its adaptation to anime tried to speed up things in order to get to the point faster, but did so many changes and watering down that turned an otherwise ok title to a bull-fest of mediocrity.It is true that the story is somewhat generic and ends in a very WTF way. Damn those adaptation decays! The original was very pleasing to keep reading, despite falling to the usual pitfalls of shonen series. LEGACY Having read the manga the series is based upon I can say for certain that this is the worst anime adaptation I have come across in my life.

His best works amongst them was the second half of Ranma 1/2 (the part where it gets bad) and Nurarihyon no Mago (a more than typical shonen show). ![]() THE STAFF - Animated by studio DEEN, which means bad production values and shitty adaptation.- Directed by Nishimura Junji, who despite his numerous projects, he has prodused nothing of importance.
