good
ive seen all the xin, but only a few have voice acting. why not add some? to me without it, the movie was very dull. add some voice acting,and this movie could be soo much better. it was still good though, im not really a big fan of the series though. well ill give it a 3.5 out of five
good series, but could be a lot better
Having seen all the sessions in the XIN series, I have to say that the two words that most often come to my mind are "wasted potential".
Now don't start throwing things at me right away; let me qualify this remark. The series does have many excellent elements to it: decent fights, good graphics, dynamic characters. And for any fan of violence-centered plotlines this is pure gold.
But for me it simply comes out as far too predictable. First off it gives us a setting of different schools where students engage in violent bloody brawls to control the campus (lets face it, it HAS been done before). Secondly, each session usually unfolds in the same manner: new character, fight, plot twist, fight, another character and yet another fight. It was cool for awhile but now...its just too lackluster for me.
In addition I would like to comment on the audio. While decent on the music (nice punctuation on fight scenes), I REALLY wish the animators had stuck with actual voice dialogue. This is the type of animation where voice intonations could raise its quality tenfold. (And if it was done in say Chinese or Japanese, the subtitles would feel a whole lot less awkward).
All in all...well put it to you this way. Fans of the XIN series, this is a good session and you won't be dissapointed. And for the rest of you...if you like violence with a little thought behind it, go for it. But don't expect a huge deviation from its current course.
7.5/10
It was Good
I think that this was an overall good film, but lacking in some areas... You should spend a little more time drawing out the fight sequences for one, and some voices would be nice being as there is so much dialogue going on. The story seems great, and your drawings are pretty good. Keep it up!

good movie
FIX THE DAMN SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant, the best in the series so far.
That was even better than the last one, this was amazing, it had everything, the story and the action, it was practically flash movie perfection. I knew this series was going to get good at some point but I never knew it was going to get this good, some of the episodes in the first series of Xin had me somewhat doubting that this series was all it was made out to be, but this ones just proved how good this series can actually be, if the rest of the episodes are anywhere near as good as this one was, then you've got yourself an amazing series and one of my all time favourites. I was pleased to see that you have still got the old characters that were missing from the last episode in thes series as it just wouldn't have been as good without them, I'm also liking the new character who went un-named in this episode(the one with the white face) and I feel that perhaps you had him finished off a little too quickly in this. It was also great to see Ralph back and it was great to see him grab Ghai, it was great seeing how he'd changed from respecting him and wanting to be his follower to someone who attacked him. Just like your KAZAHANA: Face To Face this was just like one of them anime programmes and I still say that you have the talent to make a profesional T.V. series as it's clear that you can come up with good enough story lines as this episode had me hooked throughout. It was great to see that the sound was finally good and that there were no complaints to be amde from me about it.
