If your looking for another Dragon ball z show this is definitely for you. Even though this was originally going to air on cartoon network I'm pretty sure they reanimated some of the fight scenes to be more brutal. Their are so many scenes where you see Andy the main character holding on to her opponent and getting constantly pummeled with a fist to the face I'd imagine if they new they were going to air on Adult Swim this would be mixed with a lot of blood flying from the nose.
But yes, they fight more like MMA fighters then pro wrestling so I'm guessing that side of the story was to manage the violence level. Now, its not really needed but they still call it wrestling.
And you can def tell it was made for cartoon network cause as soon as the fighting stops the story and jokes are more like the stuff you'd find on that channel. But... this is a far better fit for Adult Swim then My Adventures with Superman which outside of some sexual tension, kind of felt out of place with the likes of ATHF, Morel Oral, Venture Bros, and Metalacolypse.
Fight Girl though isn't like those either. Its literally anime and would fit well along DBZ, Demon Slayer, or my hero acadimia. So if your looking for a better merging of western and eastern action this would be your jam.

This is a great adaption so far based off one episode. It takes about 4 or 5 chapters of the manga and tries to string them together as if they are all happening simultaneously. The two main stories in episode 1, the Dad's spiral problem and the girl with the crescent tatoo, are completed in this episode but they also throw in the spiral boy that goes to school and add some of the Mom chapter. I can already see the chapter they are going to pair the rest of the Mom story up with and I'm excited to see how they do it.
If you don't know what I'm talking about that's fine, just know these stories unlike the manga are now all being told next to eachother instead of the primary focus of each chapter that they were in the manga.
This... is an interesting choice. I think they pull it off fine. It makes more sense that these things would be going together. Unfortunately this makes the series seem rushed, and at 4 episodes you know there will be some cut content from the manga. So how much is cut in episode 1... well not much, almost everything from the first chapter is in there, but with so many things going on it feels rushed.
Animation, sound, and voice acting are all top notch, so despite me feeling the series is rushed I"m looking forward to how they weave everything together as they move on.

I felt it was overall a pretty good watch. The storyline has a few nice twists and turns I didn't see coming yet enhance the Terminator mytho's rather then take away from it. I liked that it took place in an alternative 1997. Its characters are alright, the scientist was probably the most interesting of the bunch followed by the Misaki later. The story they carried pretty much made the Series good for me.
The action, although pretty dynamic, gets pretty ridiculous at times when the unstoppable Terminator always has to miss or take a few seconds to actually kill its target, or wait... just long enough for someone else to intervene and save the day. But, I guess they needed flashy fight scenes to sell this, not intense ones. Ah well.
