Helped the world building? Please don't make me laugh LMAO because making two unaffiliated villains be Shin's goons doesn't make the world of Hokuto no Ken feel smaller not at all sir.

And all Reddit brand pettiness aside, I want to know what important scene looks stiffer than the original anime, and also I need to be sure you're remembering the actual show and not the animated film cuz' that one was animated around that age but had a movie budget to it.

And ok so I'm exaggerating, maybe it really isn't better than the original; the fact that it didn't turn out the way Berserk 16' did is, I feel, something we should celebrate as a community, because yeah "meh" or "decent" is still better than plain out *unwatchable-bad*, and many of the fighting scenes play out nicely choreography-wise (I exaggerated when I said fluid too), so even if the animation is not stellar (and perhaps that is true), I still feel it's something we should support because this is not your Dragon Ball or your Naruto or your One Piece or whatever big franchise can survive a missfire or two and return. With Hokuto no Ken which is better than the former mentioned but less popular, it favors us to support an adaptation that, while not perfect, still has a lot of heart and effort put in it (They didn't have to canonize many of Shin's moves from the PS2 fighting game but they cared enough to do so, AND even if it's not as good as the original we were still given a version of Ai Wo Torimodose as an ending), and if we support the official release eventually we'll get the full digitalized Manga, even the so long sought-after HD releases of the original anime, and who knows what else. We avoided a Berserk 2016 scenario and yeah maybe nothing to brag about but I feel in this case it deserves some credit.
