I was going to put this into (w)rest, but it didn't really fit there. Any of you guys familiar with the Ultimate Muscle series? If so, you'll get a kick out of this, as I did.  KINNIKUBUSTER! |

One of the few good 4kids show, beside Shaman King and TMNT 2003. I always going to remember the fight against Mr. Cheeks the talking french Butt cheeks.

BAH GAWD, STRAIGHT ONTO THE CHEERLEADERS!
But yeah, count me as a Ultimate Muscle fan. Heck, we'd have some more if it wasn't for the low ratings it got in Japan.
Which surprised me. An anime about wrestling? Should have done big over there.

It did pretty well in U.S. Even through the show was cancel in Japan after first batch of episodes. It got good enough ratings in the U.S. airing that the show got renewed for a 2nd season in the U.S., and even through the show was cancel, the people at 4kids asked to animate the rest of the Crojin Cup Touranment arc. So you kinda can say the show was successful. I really need to start buying the manga of the series.

Not doubting that for a second, because it was, but it's a shame it didn't get big in Japan considering it's basically HUSTLE in cartoon form. |

Ultimate Muscle is like only the second anime I know of where doing good in the US got more seasons made. The other being Big O on Adult Swim.

I didn't know it was a show. I'm only privvy to the games.
And by "privvy," I mean "I know they exist and that's it."

I loved the show, too. It's cool that Terry Funk is referenced, with "Terryman" doing the Spinning Toe Hold.

I love this series. I have a few of the small MUSCLE toys lying around, a Few mangas of the origenal and new series in english and Japanese (the English stuff beeing the Ultimate Muscle Manga) and I have bootlegs DVDs of the Nisei series. I got the Ultimate Muscle game for the Gamecube and in Jump Ultimate Stars, you can play as Kinnikuman and all the major characters from the first series my faivorite is Brocken Jr. I love his theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDpnUcH1cCgsounds like a crazy Nazi march/80's german pop song. |
