Okay finished Champion Road & the Kimura/Mashiba OVA too. So now I've seen all anime. This stuff was the shit too, I liked Sanada (cool with a fighting doctor) but the OAV was even more awesome... I was teary-eyed 4 or 5 times, outstanding development for both Kimura & Mashiba (especially the prior) and a damn good fight which kept me wondering who'd win all the way through.

Time for the manga!
