Customer Reviews of Ayane's High Kick
More fun than most fighting anime - or movies Ayane's High Kick is a smart, entertaining comic anime. It doesn't really break new ground in the genre, and its ending leaves you hanging, but the character designs are appealing, the plot doesn't become boring, the humor is effective, and the fighting scenes are remarkably devoid of the flashy stuff found in yawners like Fatal Fury. The story's about Ayane -yet another Japanese high school student- and her goal to become a professional wrestler. But before this turns into Metal Fighters Miku, a Muay Thai kickboxing coach tricks her into training at his low-rent 'dojo.' The result is Ayane ending up in two kickboxing matches that play out more like a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie than a typical anime fight, with a surprising amount of drama and attention to technical detail. Of course, like a Van Damme movie, the ending is predictable, although you end up wishing Ayane could have pounded on her annoying B-ko-like opponent a little longer. Mostly Ayane's High Kick stands out because its characters and situations are just a bit out of the typical anime mold, and its offbeat humor sometimes takes you by surprise (like the coach's day job and Ayane's brother playing Tekken). Unfortunately, the two episodes that make up the DVD are a pilot for a TV series that never happened - according to U.S. Manga Corps, there are no sequels. This, unfortunately is typical for anime. And this would have made a cool series, too. Notably on the DVD, there is an option to view only the fighting scenes (a useful bonus), although this disk continues USMC's bad habit of not crediting the Japanese voice actors. Really tacky. Still, Ayane's High Kick is one of their best offerings on DVD. Not brilliant, but really entertaining, and better than Fatal Fury - or the latest Van Damme flick.
Keep your Money
If your looking for good Anime with lots of action and great fight scenes, DON'T LOOK HERE. The few, exuse me, TWO fight scenes this movie has are lame. You'd find more action in a Pokemon movie.
I like my Anime filled with lots of action, some blood, and good story telling. "fun filled anime, with lots of comedy"; Don't believe the hype. I wouldn't punish my family by making them sit through this ....
Enjoyable, as well as the fourth anime I saw
Ayane's High Kick was the fourth anime I ever saw, and the third anime DvD I bought (I now have over 150.) It was an impulse buy, and the first time I watched it I was disapointed. Well, then I saw it again, and I found it much more entertaining. It has cute characters and good fights. I'm glad I bought it!
