[@thomasmacdonough288]

I love how the animation gets progressively smoother and more detailed as the show goes on... it's always good to see success pay off

[@amuroray9115]

Agreed. Also the manga art was changing as well

[@shindean]

I actually prefer the grundge editing of the earlier episodes. This is meant to be a dirty, hostile, post apocalyptic future...the show should reflect that in all its presentation.

[@selfactualizer2099]

That's not always a good thing.

[@geneva4034]

Yeah, especially considering Toei's current situation. Your comment aged very well, they earn LOTS of money from their new productions but rarely put lots into a better production. Hnk was produced by Toei so it's good they had standards before.

The spinning kick was probably the most deadliest of attack in the series. While Ken punches several times, enemies won't explode after some seconds. The kick here just immediately decapitated em all in ONE sweep.

Honestly seemed a bit more Nanto than Hokuto - a cutting attack, rather than the usual Hokuto ‘blunt force trauma -> pressure points triggered -> detonation/sublimation’.
